Background: Prognoses of most adult Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients are excellent; most of them can achieve permanent remission that can be considered cured. However, many are under-treated or over-treated by standard modern therapies. An accurate determination of prognosis may allow clinicians to design personalised treatment according to individual risk of disease progression and survival. Lympho
In this concluding chapter, our aim is to outline the state-of-the-art within the deliberated topic in order to identify challenges for future research. Firstly, reminiscent of George Orwell’s aphorism “who controls the past controls the future”, we stress the importance of research into the origins of degraded and restituted towns in order to understand the socio-economic context that has shaped
This thesis attempts to describe and interpret the design practice of an American architect, Frank O. Gehry through concepts developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and his collaborator, French psychotherapist, philosopher and activist, Félix Guattari. At the same time, prototyping a website-based interactive project called PLATEAU GEHRY_CONNECTIVES, it explores an alternative form for the
BackgroundThe incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related oral cancer has recently increased worldwide. The role of dentists is of prime importance in the early detection of oral cancer which would result in a favourable outcome for the patients. The aim of the current study was to assess the knowledge, awareness and attitudes of dental students, interns and postgraduate maxillofacial residen
Den här avhandlingen undersöker staters interaktion som en social läroprocess, i syfte att förstå hur stater lär sig om miljönormer. Detta sker genom en konstruktivistisk ansats och mer specifikt ett roll-teoretiskt perspektiv, där en roll förstås som statens repertoar av beteende, jämsides dess funktion i en social interaktionskontext. Rollen formas av ego- och alterförväntningar, det vill säga bThis study investigates state interaction as a social learning process, where the ultimate aim is to enhance an understanding on how states learn of environmental norms. An entry into the domain on such learning processes is offered through a Constructivist approach and more specifically through the employment of a role theoretical perspective; a role here is signified as a state's repertory of be
Industrial robots typically require very structured and predictable working environments, and explicit programming, in order to perform well. Therefore, expensive and time-consuming engineering work is a major obstruction when mediating tasks to robots. This thesis presents methods that decrease the amount of engineering work required for robot programming, and increase the ability of robots to ha
Due to their unique physical and material properties, III-Sb nanowires are considered good candidates for future devices, and test beds for understanding fundamental physics. Synthesizing these nanowires however is associated with certain challenging aspects, which are generally not present for other III-V nanowires, demanding the need for in depth investigations. For instance, growing Au-seeded I
När man i juridisk doktrin talar om inomobligatoriskt skadeståndsansvar åsyftas det skadeståndsansvar som drabbar part i ett avtalsförhållande. Den uppkomna skadan i dessa situationer är oftast ren förmögenhetsskada med vad menas sådan ekonomisk skada som uppkommit utan samband med person- eller sakskada. Huvudregeln i svensk skadeståndsrätt är att ren förmögenhetsskada leder till skadestånd endasIf one of the parties to a contract does not fulfill his contractual promise, or has given information to the other party that he will not perform as mentioned in the contract, he is said to breach the contract. With that a breach of contract is a legal cause of action in which a contract is not honored by one of the parties. Most of the time ones breach of contract leads to an economic loss for
Domstolarna ställs ofta inför problematiken att värdera muntliga utsagor. Ibland är en utsaga den enda bevisningen i ett mål och det är ytterst viktigt att bevisvärderingen genomförs på ett grundligt sätt. Det finns inga lagregler som styr hur bevisvärderingen ska gå till. Trots principen om fri bevisprövning finns det dock krav på objektivitet och att värderingen sker utifrån allmänna erfarenhetsCriminal courts often face the complexity that follows the analysis of verbal statements. In some cases a statement constitute the only evidence and it is vital to carry out a thorough valuation of the evidence. Despite the lack of written law and the principle of free trial of evidence there is still a demand for objectivity and the use of general knowledge. The Supreme Court has written out that
This thesis clarifies and highlights how selected parts of Swedish law in the field of health care relate to different ways of understanding events that have caused or could have caused patient injury: a systems perspective and an individual perspective, respectively. It thus examines how the law and its application relate to conflicts between supporting openness and learning based on a systems pe
Uppsatsen behandlar lagstiftningsprocessen bakom införandet av den nya bestämmelsen i 24 kap 19 a § IL, som utgör en del av de riktade ränteav-dragsbegränsningsreglerna. Syftet är att analysera vilka intressen som har haft störst genomslag vid utformningen av bestämmelsen samt att bedöma om den nya regeln är förenlig med EU-rätten, särskilt mot etableringsfriheten och EU-domstolens praxis gällandeThis thesis examines the legislative process behind the introduction of the new provision in Chapter 24, Section 19 a of the Swedish Income Tax Act, which forms part of the targeted interest deduction limitation rules. The aim of the study is to analyse which interests have had the greatest influence on the de-sign of the provision and to assess whether the new rule is compatible with EU law, in p
Denna uppsats undersöker om World Athletics behörighetsregler för delta-gande i den kvinnliga kategorin i friidrott är förenliga med rätten till privat-liv enligt artikel 8 i Europakonventionen. Behörighetsreglerna innebär en obligatorisk könstestning genom SRY-analys. För de som upptäcks ha en könsvariation ställs krav på en medicinsk behandling för att sänka testoste-ronnivåerna för att få tävlaThis thesis examines whether World Athletics’ eligibility regulations for participation in the female category in athletics are compatible with the right to privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The regulations require mandatory sex testing through SRY analysis. For athletes found to have a sex variation, the rules impose a requirement to un-dergo medical treatment to
