Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är den vanligaste dödsorsaken bland barn mellan 1–14 år i Sverige. Neuroblastom, som nästan uteslutande drabbar barn, är en aggressiv cancersjukdom som har sitt ursprung i det sympatiska (icke-viljestyrda) nervsystemet. I frisk vävnad råder strikt balans mellan celldelning och celldöd, medan cancerceller kännetecknas av en ohämmad celldelning och minskad celldödNeuroblastoma is a childhood tumor of the developing sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in children before one year of age. Although survival curves have improved for these patients during the past decades, the conventional regimen of neuroblastoma treatment has clearly reached a plateau of efficiency with regard to increasing the survival rates of h

A hollow fiber supported liquid membrane module using one single fiber impregnated with a mixture of 1,10-dibenzyl-1,10-diaza-18-crown-6 and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphate dissolved in hexylbenzene was used for passive sampling of ppb levels of Pb(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Mn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) in water. The target ions were simultaneously transported and preconcentrated into a citric acid acceptor so

The removal of particulate fine fractions by a proper high-temperature cleaning device is a very important issue in the development of the biorefinery concept. Therefore, in this investigation, particles from a 100 kW(th) steam-O-2 blown circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) gasifier were sampled and characterized. The sampling was performed with a specially designed heated dilution probe downstream of

Syftet med studien var att undersöka pedagogikens betydelse för bemötande av och omvårdnad om barn med autism inom den somatiska vården. Ytterligare ett syfte var att undersöka personalens och föräldrarnas upplevelser av hur barn med autism blir bemötta inom den somatiska vården. Dessutom undersöktes föräldrarnas upplevelser av att ha ett barn med autism. Fem personal inom den somatiska vården sam

Title: Are we born gifted or can we learn and teach our children to be musically interested? The aim of this study is to evaluate how we influence the development of musicality in children. The study included 30 persons divided into three groups (ten members in each group). Group 1 consisted of pregnant women. Group 2 consisted of parents of babies age 0 to 1 year old and group 3 teenage parents.

Title: What shall we play? -A study of the importance of genre spread in music education. The aim of this study is to examine music teachers' and music students' reflections on the importance of genre spread in music education. The study covers music education in municipal primary schools and municipal music schools/schools of arts and music. I have used both quantitative and qualitative m

Title: The competent teacher-external and internal frameworks and their influence on educational praxis. This thesis is about what kind of approach a teacher (may) consider when he is facing parameters that he can not do anything about, in this case represented by political, educational och social frameworks. One of the things a teacher can do to adapt to the situation is to see what possibilities

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are controversial, especially for food and feed products, mainly due to potential benefits and potential risks. Advocates claim substantial yield improvements and reduced pesticide usage, while opponents claim contamination of non-GMO crops and damage to health and the environment. The European Union (EU) has since 2003 used a cautious approach, where GMO prod

This thesis analyzes blood diamonds and the human rights issues surrounding them. The problems they pose and the promises and limitations of the Kimberly Process are covered along with the development and future impact of man-made diamonds on the demand side of the blood diamond problem. There are two main sections--the first covers blood diamonds and the second man-made diamonds. The introduction

Russia is a country in transition towards democracy. After a long period of economical and political suppression, people have a chance to participate in society's life, to affect the ruling government and to express their views more freely. However, in order for the democratic transition to continue, it is not enough to merely have a chance to participate and be active&semic there should b

Överlåtelser mellan företag görs normalt på marknadsmässiga villkor. I Sverige är dock överlåtelser till underpris sedan länge en vanlig form för att vid omstruktureringar skjuta upp inkomstbeskattning vid försäljningar mellan företag i ägargemenskap. Vanligtvis kan då den skatterättsliga intäkten vid överlåtelse till underpris korrigeras upp till marknadspris. För att uttagsbeskattning skall kunn

This study aims to increase the understanding of how an organisation applies crisis communi- cation strategies on social media, how users respond to these crisis communication messages, and what the nature of the interaction between the organisation and users is. Three research questions were developed, which consisted of 1) what crisis communication strategies and tac- tics Boeing uses on Faceboo

Background The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is involved in several diseases and patho- physiological states, such as Alzheimer’s disease and hydrocephalus. Previous studies CSF dynamics in the brain show that the flow of the CSF depends on cardiac pulsation, time of day and respiration. Methods In this thesis, the validity of using real time phase contrast MRI in order to study CSF flow is evaluated

In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference

Idag är det enbart föräldrar som är gifta med varandra när barnet föds som båda får automatisk gemensam vårdnad om barnet. Är föräldrarna inte gifta med varandra när barnet föds blir det däremot endast modern som blir vårdnadshavare. Trots att gemensam vårdnad sedan länge är en huvudprincip i gällande rätt så skiljer lagen idag mellan föräldrar som är gifta med varandra och föräldrar som inte är g

This thesis investigates how cross-linguistic phoneme distributions of 56 fundamental oppositional concepts can reveal semantic relationships by looking into the linguistic forms of 75 genetically and areally distributed languages. Based on proposals of semantic primes (Goddard 2002), reduced Swadesh lists (Holman et al. 2008), presumed ultraconservative words (Pagel et.al. 2013), attested basic a

After studying economic integration it doesn’t come as a shock that preferential trade agreements (PTA) have an effect on the countries within the PTA, or outside the PTA for that matter also. The majority of the Latin American countries have been considered as developing countries for the better part of the 21st century, and have, for the most part, been secluded from the world market. Since the

This study aimed to evaluate the use of Pyrotechnically Generated Aerosols in electrical fires. To represent a common starting point for these fires, a cable fire ignited by a shortcut was chosen. In order to do this in a realistic way, a new method with heating the cables from the inside was used. This study examined whether the PGA has the ability to supress a cable fire inside an electrical cab
