Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has modest specificity for prostate cancer. A panel of four kallikrein markers (total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and kallikrein-related peptidase 2) is a highly accurate predictor of biopsy outcome. The clinical significance of biopsy-detectable cancers in men classified as low-risk by this panel remains unclear. Methods: The Malmo Diet and Cancer study

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the significance of ACE gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the frequency of autoimmune manifestations in sarcoidosis. DESIGN: In patients with sarcoidosis the ACE gene I/D polymorphism was detected with PCR on genomic DNA. The patients with sarcoidosis were divided according to the presence (n = 30) or absence (n = 32) of autoimmune manifestations. The former

Den svenska arbetskraften har blivit äldre under 1900-talet. Under vissa perioder har denna åldrandeprocess accelererat, medan den har avtagit under andra perioder. I denna studie undersöks vilken roll dessa förändringar i åldersstrukturen spelar för genomsnittlig arbetsproduktivitet och ekonomisk tillväxt. Olika åldersgrupper besitter olika typer av humankapital, eftersom den individuella produktIn the 1900s the Swedish labour force underwent an ageing process, accentuated in some periods and stagnant in others. This study inquires into how, and to what extent, these demographic shifts in the labour market explain changes in average labour productivity and economic growth. Different age groups possess different types of human capital, leading to changes in individual productivity over the

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is the source of most of the terrestrial carbon dioxide emission. Consequently, our ability to predict how climate warming will affect the global carbon (C) budget relies on our understanding of the temperature relationship and adaptability of microbial processes. We exposed soil microcosms to temperatures between 0 and 54 degrees C for 2 months

Abstract What are the pedagogical impacts of internationalisation on the development of higher education in Europe? How can we proceed in this process and take a pedagogical stance on the issue? This theoretical paper is partly based on a series of empirical studies conducted by the author, investigating students’ and teachers’ experiences and understanding of an internationalised educational cont

Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

Aim. To study nurses' compliance to national guidelines (Sweden) for peripheral venous catheters and to establish the complication frequency connected to time in situ and bore size. Background. Worldwide, there are no standard peripheral venous catheters guidelines, and the need for elective replacement has been challenged. Furthermore, the time interval and need for elective change of peripheral

The aim of this study was to develop and investigate psychometric properties of the Health Promotion Intervention Questionnaire, a newly developed instrument intended to measure patients' subjective experiences of health promotion interventions in the mental health services. Health promotion practice has often been contested; therefore, it is important to produce convincing evidence that health pr

Youth present either a risk or a great opportunity for change. Traditionally youth have been perceived in binary terms of either as victim of wars or as threats to peace and security. The UNSCR 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security presents a shift in the perception of young people, now regarding them as agents of peace and security. This thesis will shed light on young Palestinians through a case stu

Social norms in society dictate desirable behaviour according to the social environment. To break the law is often considered to go against these norms and the legal system imposes measures which in certain cases lead to incarceration for the person who has committed a crime. To break social and legal norms can lead to exclusion and even stigmatization. This thesis aims to examine which consequenc

Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain. Moreover, in Sweden there is no effort focused on the children in these circumstances. The purpose of this study is to describe the children's experience of sha

Alfa Laval DC Lund is both a spare part manufacturer and distributer. The spare parts that Alfa Laval DC Lund supplies are used for the heat transfer business unit of Alfa Laval. Sometimes orders need to be produced fast as customers may have breakdowns in production and sometime orders arrive months earlier than customers want to receive delivery as scheduled services occur at the customer. Probl

Following changes on a European level, there are plans to also in Sweden reduce the characteristic value of shear strength of glued-laminated timber. In Sweden, a decrease of approximately 30% from a characteristic value of 4.0 MPa (for glulam L40) to 2.5 or 3.0 MPa is planned. This would mean that wood would lose competitiveness against other construction materials such as steel and concrete. T

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur rollen som aktiv musiker påverkar rollen som pedagog och tvärtom. Vilka möjligheter och begränsningar finns det i att aktivt musicera parallellt med att undervisa? Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med fyra pedagoger verksamma vid högskola och folkhögskola inom jazzgenren. Jazzundervisning vid högre musikutbildning har blivit en inriktning för studiTitle: The art of managing a dual professional role. Four teachers' views on combining teaching with their roles as active jazz musicians. The purpose of this study is to examine in what ways the role as an artist impacts the role as a teacher and vice versa. What are the possibilities and limitations of actively playing music alongside teaching music? Qualitative interviews have been conducte

Climate change is an issue that can no longer be ignored and actions are taken all over the world in order to prevent the effects from becoming too severe. The energy system is transitioning towards more renewable energy sources and wind power has an important role in this development. The penetration of wind power in a lot of countries all over the world has increased rapidly during the last deca

The purpose of the study is to contribute with knowledge of how uncertainty affects decision making processes regarding carbon footprint. This study explores companies' perspectives on what uncertainties they experience, how these uncertainties affect their decision making processes and how the companies handle these uncertainties. The study’s data is generated through semi-structured intervie

In the following report, a fire safety evaluation of Hotel Nissastigen in central Gislaved is presented. The building itself consists of five floors, whereof two are cellar and attic. Beyond the usual hotel business, Nissastigen both offers a place to eat at their restaurant and room for conferences, as well as acting as a gathering point for tourists, thus making it vital for the local economy.
