The development of inhibitory antibodies to factor (F) VIII and FIX continues to be a major challenge in the treatment of patients with hemophilia. In patients with low-responding inhibitors, it is usually possible to saturate the inhibitor with the deficient factor and to achieve hemostasis, but in patients with high-responding inhibitors, two major tasks have to be considered. One is how to trea

Aims. The aim of this paper is to explore and map the age and abundance structure of the stars in the nearby Galactic disk. Methods. We have conducted a high-resolution spectroscopic study of 714 F and G dwarf and subgiant stars in the Solar neighbourhood. The star sample has been kinematically selected to trace the Galactic thin and thick disks to their extremes, the metal-rich stellar halo, sub-
This thesis is the result of a case study which has its starting point in the fact that mergers and acquisitions are characterized by a high level of risk and often fail to reach stated goals such as leverage of synergy, many times due to the inability of integrating the concerned organization’s information systems. Existing problem perspectives do not include what could be a factor contributing t

This thesis concerns the role of disability and assistive devices in everyday life among persons with, for instance, impairments related to mobility (e.g. wheelchair users) and bodily shape and configuration (e.g. dysmelia). Assistive devices are seen as both includators (assisting participation and emancipation) and excludators (limiting participation, restraining empowerment, and stigmatizing).
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning.

Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att utveckla och utvärdera ett realtidssystem som utför analys i molnet och lokalt med hjälp av AWS. De viktigaste målen har varit att skapa ett system som är så snabbt som möjligt och att analysera vilken del av analysen som kan göras i molnet och vilken del som måste göras lokalt. Den förväntade nyttan med systemet är de minskade utvecklings- och underhållskosThe purpose of the degree project has been to develop and evaluate a real-time analysis system which performs analysis in the cloud and locally using AWS. The most important goals have been to create a system which is as fast as possible and to reflect over which part of the analysis can be made in the cloud and which part has to be made local. The expected utility of the system is a consequence o
