2016 förlorade Yahya Jammeh -- Gambias andra president sedan självständigheten 1965 -- sitt första presidentval efter att han tog makten i en statskupp 1994. Dagen efter valet gratulerade han sin motståndare Adama Barrow till vinsten men mindre än en vecka senare tog han tillbaka sitt godkännande och meddelade att han inte tänker avgå som president. Det här resulterade i ett den västafrikanska sam
The objective of the study was to analyse the sediment load into the reservoir Norðursjór, which would form in the case of a dam construction in Vestari kvísl, an upstream part of the river Skaftá, in southern Iceland. The main part of the problem studied was to quantify the sediment transported into the reservoir Norðursjór and to model the bed elevation change of the reservoir as a result of thi
Deep learning has the potential to drastically increase the accuracy and efficiency of prostate cancer diagnosis, which would be of uttermost use. Today the diagnosis is determined manually from H&E stained specimens using a light microscope. In this paper several different approaches based on convolutional neural networks for prostate cancer classification are presented and compared, using th
Soil organic matter (SOM) supports the Earth's ability to sustain terrestrial ecosystems, provide food and fiber, and retains the largest pool of actively cycling carbon. Over 75% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) in the top meter of soil is directly affected by human land use. Large land areas have lost SOC as a result of land use practices, yet there are compensatory opportunities to enhance prod
Violaxanthin de-epoxidase (VDE) is a conditionally soluble enzyme located in the thylakoid lumen and catalyses the conversion of violaxanthin to antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin, which are located in the thylakoid membrane. These reactions occur when the plant or algae are exposed to saturating light and the zeaxanthin formed is involved in the process of non-photochemical quenching that protects the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under livets gång utsätts vi för en mängd exponeringar som påverkar vår hälsa. I denna avhandling har vi försökt förstå hur olika exponeringar påverkar risken för celiaki (glutenintolerans) hos barn. Vi har utnyttjat information i nationella register och använt epidemiologiska metoder. Med ett socialepidemiologiskt tankesätt lyfter vi blicken från individen till att äveCeliac disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is precipitated in genetically predisposed individuals by ingestion of food containing gluten or similar proteins that are present in wheat, rye and barley. The disease might present with symtoms such as malnutrition, diarrhea or abdominal bloating, but a large proportion of those afflicted by the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Två av de viktigaste polyaminerna påträffades redan i slutet av 1600-talet, som kristaller i tjursperma och har därför fått namnen spermin och spermidin. Dessa aminer bildas från en annan substans, putrescin, som först isolerades från ruttnande kött. Namnet putrescin kommer från engelskans putrefaction, som betyder förruttnelse. Polyaminer, som kemiskt sett är positivt The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are essential for cell growth and differentiation. The biosynthesis of polyamines are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms involving two enzymes, namely ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC). This thesis deals with the mechanisms behind the polyamine-mediated feedback control of these enzymes. The poly
Popular Abstract in Swedish Aggressiva lymfom utgör en undergrupp av en typ av elakartade (maligna) tumörer, maligna lymfom. Cellerna i dessa tumörer utgår från en typ av vita blodkroppar, lymfocyter, vilka har en central roll i kroppens immunförsvar. Maligna lymfom utgör ca 4% av alla fall av elakartade tumörer i Sverige, vilket motsvarar ca 1700 nya fall per år. I västvärlden ökar dock antalet fAggressive lymphoma is a rapidly growing tumour of lymphocyte origin, potentially curable with chemotherapy. In a trial by the Nordic Lymphoma Group, 405 patients with aggressive lymphoma were included, and randomised to receive either the standard chemotherapy regimen, CHOP, or a weekly multidrug regimen, MACOP-B. In this trial, MACOP-B was not superior in terms of response, failure-free or overa
In this study, we simulated heterotrophic CO2 (Rh) fluxes at six European peatland sites using the ECOSSE model and compared them to estimates of Rh made from eddy covariance (EC) measurements. The sites are spread over four countries with different climates, vegetation and management. Annual Rh from the different sites ranged from 110 to 540 g C m(-2). The maximum annual Rh occurred when the wate

In many radiotherapy applications, true three-dimensional dosimetry with good spatial resolution that can be achieved in a single measurement would be of great value. Polymer gel dosimetry fulfils many of the demands on such a system. In this study, methods to facilitate the implementation of gel dosimetry have been investigated. A new type of polymer gel, for which the response to absorbed dose i
Prostate cancer is one of the major causes of cancer related deaths in men in Europe and the United States. In this doctoral thesis, radioimmunoimaging and -therapy of prostate cancer was investigated pre-clinically by targeting the human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 (hK2) with radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies. hK2 is an antigen that is over-expressed in prostatic neoplasms and is closely rel
In cases where inaccurate information has been sent to tax authorities, the responsible person is risking surcharge or in worse cases making herself guilty of tax offence. A basic rule implies that a surcharge means an additional 40 % to the normal taxes and when it comes to cases of tax offence, the ordinary penalties of criminal law, fines and prison, are practiced. The highest prison sentence f
Av försäkringsavtalslagen, FAL, 6 kap. 1 § framgår att bara lagliga intressen kan försäkras. Den här uppsatsen syftar till att genom en rättsdogmatisk metod utreda vilken innebörd begreppet lagligt intresse har. Fokus ligger på att undersöka hur administrativa sanktionsavgifter enligt EU:s nya dataskyddsförordning bör behandlas i svensk försäkringsrätt och om det är möjligt att försäkra sig mot riAccording to the Swedish Insurance Contracts Act (FAL) 6 chapter 1 §, only legal interests can be insured. By using a legal dogmatic method, this essay seeks to examine the significance of the term legal interest. This paper is especially focused on investigating how administrative fines, pursuant to the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), should be treated in Swedish insurance law,
Öreland – a Lost World The aim of this BA Study is two-folded. First, to investigate if and when the Strait of Öresund has been dry land and, second, if there are traces of human activities – tools and settlements – that could be related to Öreland, e.g. when Öresund was dry land. My starting point is that Öreland was a geographic area in its own right. By that I mean that Öreland should not only
Tarmflora och typ 2-diabetes – kan vi hitta sambanden? Typ 2-diabetes är ett ökande globalt hälsoproblem. 2017 levde uppskattningsvis 450 miljoner vuxna världen över med diabetes, och en konservativ prognos indikerar att detta antal kan öka till 700 miljoner år 2045. Den stora majoriteten (mer än 80%) av dessa diabetesfall är typ 2-diabetes. Det är väl känt att otillräcklig fysisk aktivitet, ohälThis study explores the correlation between type 2 diabetes status and gut microbiota composition, diversity and functional capacity in a Swedish cohort. Using 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing metagenomic data sampled from 2161 individuals, out of which 107 also had their metagenomic data sequenced using whole genome shotgun sequencing, modern bioinformatics tools were used to extract information on t
Hud, hår och naglar är utåt sätt olika, men på en mikroskopisk nivå är likheterna stora. Det översta lagret av hud, som kallas stratum corneum, hår och naglar består av döda celler till mestadels fyllda av proteinet keratin. Keratinet i dessa celler bildar cylindriska strukturer; keratinfilament, som består av flera keratinkedjor. Denna uppbyggnad ger materialen både styrka och flexibilitet.
