The future begins at school – municipal differences regarding education for under-aged EU migrants. The number of exposed EU-migrants in Sweden is growing, and so is the number of under-aged EU-migrants who are travelling with their parents. Many of these belong to the Roma minority in countries such as Bulgaria and Romania. The aim of this study is to examine municipal differences in offering ed
In December 2014 the requirement increased on pre-packed food labelling when the regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 entered into force. Two important changes were that allergen information must be emphasised in the ingredients list and a minimum font size must be used for the obligatory information on food labels. It´s crucial that grocery stores follow the food legislation, so that consumers and especi
To address global food security challenges caused by population growth and climate change, accurate prediction of crop yield is essential for sustainable agriculture. Winter wheat, a key global crop, faces production instability in regions like Sweden and Morocco due to extreme weather conditions. This study employed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based multispectral imagery and digital surface mod
Purpose: The study aims to explore how concept stores (theoretically) differ from other experience-based retail formats, and hence, how they (practically) contribute to a diversified retail store portfolio. Design/methodology/approach: Case study based on semi-structured, qualitative interviews with seven IKEA retail managers, three industry experts and 26 customers of IKEA concept stores in Londo

Sedan 1970-talet har antalet rapporterade cancerfall dubblerats, dels på grund av förändrade levnadsvanor och dels på grund av bättre screeningmetoder som upptäcker cancern i tidigt skede. Tidig upptäckt av cancern i kombination med utvecklad cancerbehandling har bidragit till att risken för att avlida av cancer har minskat. Cancerbehandling sker huvudsakligen genom operation, strålbehandling elle
Hjärntumör inklusive glioblastom.Glioblastom är den vanligaste sortens hjärntumör bland vuxna och samtidigt den mest elakartade. Glioblastom drabbar cirka 550 personer årligen i Sverige. När tumören upptäcks är behandlingen först operation för exakt diagnos och med syfte att avlägsna så mycket som det går av tumören, utan att orsaka skada för patienten, annars görs en diagnostisk biopsi. StandardAbstractBackground: Glioblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor. Operation with maximal resection, if feasible, otherwise biopsy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide is standard therapy. The prognosis remains poor, with median overall survival being 15 months despite therapy. Improved monitoring and treatment response assessment will be important when seeking to im
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling presenteras fyra nya metoder för att automatiskt mäta hjärtats förmåga att pumpa ut blod i kroppen, mäta storleken på en hjärtinfarkt samt mäta hur stor del av hjärtmuskeln som riskerade att dö vid hjärtinfarkten. Dessa nya metoder kan användas för att minska skillnader mellan mätningar gjorda av olika läkare, på olika sjukhus och i olika forskargruppIn this thesis four new algorithms are presented for automatic segmentation in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR); automatic segmentation of the left ventricle, myocardial infarction, and myocardium at risk in two different image types. All four algorithms were implemented in freely available software for image analysis and were validated against reference delineations with a low bias and hig
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hos människan lever en rad mikroorganismer som tillsammans utgör normalfloran. Normalfloran återfinns på alla kroppsytor, det vill säga huden och slemhinnorna i munnen, svalget, magsäcken, tunn- och tjocktarmen, vagina och urinrörsmynningen. Samspelet mellan människokroppen och mikroorganismerna utsätts dagligen för påfrestningar. En sådan naturlig påfrestning är de sjuThis thesis is concerned with a family of bacterial surface proteins expressed by different strains of the anaerobic Gram-positive, commensal and human pathogen Peptostreptococcus magnus. These proteins have been studied with respect to their role in virulence, function, structure, and evolution. Strains isolated from patients with vaginosis have previously been shown to be associated with express
Popular Abstract in Swedish Elakartade (maligna) blodsjukdomar uppstår i den blodbildande benmärgen, vilken är innesluten i hålrummen i de skelettdelar som kan sägas täckas av en badmössa och en gammaldags baddräkt. En av de celltyper som bildas i benmärgen är plasmacellen, en vit blodkropp som utgör mindre än 2% av benmärgscellerna och som tillverkar specifika antikroppar vid infektioner. Vid monAcquired genetic changes have proved to be of diagnostic and prognostic importance in different hematologic malignancies as well as in some solid tumor types. However, although multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable disease, and its proceeding stage monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are quite common, little is known about the karyotypic features of these plasma cell dyscrasias
Transplantation of embryonic dopaminergic neurones can ameliorate symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, but a major obstacle for clinical transplantations to overcome is the low survival (typically 5-10%) of implanted nigral neurones. If cell death in nigral grafts can be prevented, less embryonic tissue would be needed per transplantation session and hence more patients could receive intracerebral gra
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos västerländska kvinnor. I Sverige kommer var tionde kvinna att drabbas av bröstcancer, vilket motsvarar drygt 5000 kvinnor om året. Dödligheten i bröstcancer är 30%. Detta innebär att en tredjedel av de som drabbas kommer att dö av sin sjukdom. Det är dock inte själva tumören i bröstet som dödar eftersom denna i princip alltBreast cancer is one of the most common cancer forms in the industrialized world. Only in Sweden, nearly 6000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 1/3 of them eventually succumb to the disease.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bukspottkörteln, pancreas, är ett viktigt organ för ämnesomsättningen. Dess viktigaste funktioner är att tillverka enzymer och bikarbonat som utsöndras till tolvfingertarmen, duodenum samt hormoner som utsöndras till blodbanan. De viktigaste enzymerna är amylas som bryter ned olika sockerarter och stärkelse, lipas som bryter ned fett och trypsin som bryter ned proteinerThe pancreas is a central organ in the digestion of food as well as in glucose metabolism. Its two major functions are exocrine and endocrine secretion. These are meticulously regulated processes that depend on hormonal response to gastrointestinal contents and blood glucose levels through feedback mechanisms, but also to the status of pancreas in health and diseases.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi kommer dagligen i kontakt med läkemedel i olika former, antingen som den kräm som vi smörjer in vårt onda knä eller Treon somliga tar på söndagsmorgon.

These often show a low bioavailability and a susceptibility to varying conditions in the intestine. Hydrophobically modified poly (acrylic acid) (HMPAA), commercially available as Pemulen TR2, has shown promising abilities to control the release of especially poorly soluble substances. In thi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pankreascancer, cancer i bukspottkörteln, är den fjärde vanligaste orsaken till död i cancer och årligen insjuknar cirka 1000 patienter i Sverige. Överlevnaden är kort med en 5-årsöverlevnad på endast 6 procent. Pankreascancer orsakar, förutom lidande, också betydande kostnader för såväl den medicinska vården, som förluster för samhället, exempelvis i form av förtida döBackground: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Only about 6% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the tumor has spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs. Less than 20% of cases are diagnosed at an early stage that allows them to undergo potentially cu

“The management of innovation is inherently difficult and risky, most new technologies fail to be translated into products and services, and most new products and services are not commercial successes. In short, innovation can enhance competitiveness, but it requires a different set of management knowledge and skills from those of everyday business administration” (Bessant et al. 2005 p. 1). The a
