Edoxaban is an oral direct factor Xa inhibitor for prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic disorders. The effects on common coagulation assays are clinically valuable information and in certain clinical situations a quick assessment of the anticoagulant is wanted. Our aim was to investigate the effect of edoxaban on routine coagulation methods and evaluate anti-Xa assays, commonly used for oth
En ovisshet om ett rättsfaktums existens löser domstolarna oftast med att ena parten åläggs en bevisbörda. Det finns ett antal olika teorier och principer för bevisbördeplacering. När ett rättsfaktum utgörs av ett visst påstått avtalsinnehåll har HD emellertid i vissa fall, utan motivering, använt sig av avtalstolkning istället för en bevisbörderegel. Syftet med förevarande uppsats är därför dels The Swedish courts usually solve uncertainties regarding dispositive facts by using the burden of proof. There is no comprehensive, universal principle that is applicable in all cases; instead there are a number of different theories and principles. When a dispositive fact is made up of a certain alleged contractual content, the Swedish Supreme Court sometimes interprets the contract instead of u
Inom läkemedelssektorn, originalföretagen som investerar stora summor pengar i forskning och utveckling av nya läkemedel vanligtvis söker patent för flera skyddsområden. De försöker utnyttja det monopol ett patent ger för att skydda sina egna originalläkemedel mot generiska läkemedels marknadsinträde och utebliven vinst som det för med sig. Generiska företag för att kunna lansera sina generiska prIn the pharmaceutical sector, originator companies that invest large sum of money in R&D of new medicines usually file patent applications for several areas of protection. They try to take advantage of a monopoly that a patent grants to protect their medicines against generic entry on the market and consequently the loss of profits. Generic companies in order to be able to launch their generic
The aim of this study has been to investigate the technical, economical and psychological barriers for the market introduction of battery electric vehicles (BEV) in Sweden. The current situation as well as future possibilities for battery electric vehicles in Sweden has also been central to this study. The study is of a qualitative nature, and is largely based on interviews with experts from the b
The Horse Sector in Sweden today is growing and almost 10% of Sweden's population will be regularly in contact with horses. Interest in these animals is increasing all the time, which means that more people will also get in touch with the daily care of the horse. In the management of horses is heavy lifting and other strenuous movements regular. Something that has been overlooked in the horse
The study investigates the difficulties small companies experience in implementing a standardized environmental management system or achieving an Eco-label. Further the study evaluates what should be included in an environmental management system to establish credibility. The market for Eco-labels and certifications has generally been adapted for large companies, but since the environmental awaren
Biocides are chemical and biological pesticides used for preservation and disinfection. It’s being used, both in health care and everyday life, in products such as hand soap, cosmetics and textile fabrics. Studies have shown that, in textiles, a lot of the quantities of the biocides are being washed out during the life cycle of the product. This study aims to map in what extent biocides are being
Tetra Pak is continuously working to increase the efficiency of the whole organisation. There is currently a general demand to improve by 20%. The number is not to be taken literately since efficiency is not defined nor is it specified how it should be measured. At Tetra Top the interpretation is that it is important to focus on efficiency and that it is up to individuals how and when it can be at
Abstract Co-operation difficulties in the work place can be a problem serious enough. Co-operation difficulties can occur between employee and employer, as well as employees among themselves. Irrespective of between which individuals the co-operation difficulties occur, it will have negative consequences. These can consist of, for example that individuals might suffer mentally, inproductivity and
The current confusion about what species are has two major causes. First, many authors discussing species concepts seem not to have considered for what purpose species are distinguished. Several proposed species concepts define species in a way that is only useful in a narrow field of advanced biological science. It is argued that species concepts should rather fulfil the needs of the majority of
This thesis presents a study on performance analysis and optimal design of heat exchangers and heat exchanger networks. The study includes an experimental investigation of steam condensation in plate heat exchangers, optimal design of plate heat exchangers and plate-fin heat exchangers, and optimization of heat exchanger networks. In the experimental investigation of steam condensation in plate h
Popular Abstract in Swedish De flesta produkter som vi dagligen använder tillverkas genom att utnyttja fossila råvaror som olja, kol och naturgas. Ett stort problem är att dessa råvaror bara finns i begränsade mängder i naturen, vilket medför att de förr eller senare tar slut. Dessutom medför förbränning av fossila råvaror att det bildas miljöskadande gaser (t.ex. koldioxid) som ansamlas i atmosfäOne of the major challenges facing the world today is the reduction of our dependency on fossil resources as their exploitation has severe negative effects on the environment. One way of realizing this is to utilise the components of lignocellulosic biomass to a greater extent as feedstock for various industrial products. However, such utilisation requires the extraction of the biopolymers from th
Popular Abstract in Swedish När Immanuel Kant år 1795 lät publicera sin lilla skrift Om den eviga freden väckte den stor uppmärksamhet över hela Europa och översattes snart till flera språk. Hur kom det sig att den i samband med tvåhundraårsjubileet 1995 åter var så populär att flera av världens tongivande filosofer diskuterade den och skrev artiklar om den? Nutida tänkare lockas dock av andra idéThis dissertation, a contribution to the history of ideas, is a study of Immanuel Kant’s 1795 monograph Zum ewigen Frieden (Perpetual Peace) and its effective history. The intention is to show how this particular work has been formed, read, discussed and interpreted for about 200 years. Considering the attention the work received on its bicentennial anniversary in comparison with the attention it
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate ethnic differences in self reported health in the city of Malm, Sweden, and whether these differences could be explained by psychosocial and economic conditions.DESIGN/SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: The public health survey in Malm 1994 was a cross sectional study. A total of 5600 people aged 20-80 years completed a postal questionnaire. The partici
Metabolic stress is a phenomenon often discussed in conjunction with recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli. This investigation shows how heterologous protein production, and the presence of host cell proteases is related to: i) IPTG induction, ii) cell mass concentration at the time of induction and iii) the presence of metabolites (glutamic acid or those from TSB) during the post ind
An ongoing continuous process of automatization of the production lines is used in industry to reduce production costs. Automatization of quality control should be seen as part of a cost reduction process, as well as of quality control of the welding. Mostly the time-consuming and expensive checking procedure of the weld joint is carried out off-line by an experienced welding operator. The need fo
Today there are climate policy targets within the EU and Sweden about limiting global warming and drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In order to stay within the goal of a global warming of less than 2 ºC, the industrialised countries should decrease their emissions by 80-95 % in 2050, and bring them down to zero in the longer run. Scenario studies indicate that this is possible to achi
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Type 1 diabetes in children is characterised by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and the presence of certain risk genotypes. In adults the same situation is often referred to as latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). We tested whether genetic markers associated with type 1 or type 2 diabetes could help to discriminate between autoimmune and non-autoimmune diab
