Popular Abstract in Swedish De två vanligaste typerna av neurodegenerativ demenssjukdom är Alzheimer’s sjukdom och Lewy body demens. Båda sjukdomarna drabbar framförallt äldre människor och risken att insjukna ökar med stigande ålder. Detta innebär att demenssjukdom kommer att bli vanligare i samhället, eftersom vi blir allt äldre och andelen invånare >65 år blir allt större. Att drabbas av demensBackground: A prognostic marker should provide information about course and outcome of disease, e.g. predict time to a given endpoint or rate of progression due to disease in patients or subgroups of patients. Prognostic markers could be targeted to apply during the entire clinical course or just during distinct stages of the disease. Aim: The aim of this thesis is to identify, review and qualif

Background: The kidneys are regarded as one of the main dose-limiting organs in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumours with Lu-177-[DOTA(0), Tyr(3)]-octreotate (Lu-177-octreotate), despite the successful use of kidney uptake blocking agents such as lysine and arginine. To avoid renal toxicity but still give each patient as high amount of Lu-177-octreotate as possible, there is a need for methods/

Spectral hole burning and photon echoes are the techniques for frequency-selective optical memories, which have the potential to increase areal data storage density by a factor 10**7. They also have the capability to perform in-memory data processing. In this thesis, several materials and techniques for optical memories in the frequency- and time domain have been investigated. In the frequency do

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut leversvikt medför hög risk för komplikationer orsakade av bakteriesepsis. Hög nivåer av lipopolysackarider (LPS; endotoxin) i det portala blodet kan leda till förhöjd sekretion av pro-inflammatoriska signalsubstanser från leverns Kupffer-celler, vilket har visats vara ett tidigt och viktigt tecken på leverskada. Patogenesen för inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (?inflammaAcute liver failure is accompanied by a high rate of bacterial septic complications. High portal level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can lead to a pronounced secretion by Kupffer cells of pro-inflammatory mediators which have been shown to be early and important mediators of liver injury. Pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex; involving environmental, genetic, microbial, and im

BackgroundIncidence of condyloma, or genital warts (GW), is the earliest possible disease outcome to measure when assessing the effectiveness of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination strategies. Efficacy trials that follow prespecified inclusion and exclusion criteria may not be fully generalizable to real-life HPV vaccination programs, which target a broader segment of the population. We assesse

Morphologic evaluation of samples from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle (CN) biopsies is an important part of the pretreatment diagnosis of bone and soft tissue tumors. Because most such tumors have characteristic, sometimes even specific, chromosomal rearrangements, ancillary genetic analyses could provide important diagnostic information. Whereas directed analyses, such as fluorescen

This work presents an analysis of the physical properties of sub-micrometer aerosol particles measured at the high Arctic site Villum Research Station, Station Nord (VRS), northeast Greenland, between July 2010 and February 2013. The study focuses on particle number concentrations, particle number size distributions and the occurrence of new particle formation (NPF) events and their seasonality in

Introduction: An impact of maternal obesity on ultrasound dating of pregnancy at 11–14 gestational weeks is possible and was investigated. Material and methods: A prospective cohort study based on the Danish national population during a 4-year period in which we entered all mothers with singleton pregnancies who had a known last menstrual period (LMP), a recorded booking of body mass index (BMI),

We have tried to calculate the free energy for the binding of six small ligands to two variants of the octa-acid deep cavitand host in the SAMPL5 blind challenge. We employed structures minimised with dispersion-corrected density-functional theory with small basis sets and energies were calculated using large basis sets. Solvation energies were calculated with continuum methods and thermostatistic

I Sverige är det idag inte tillåtet med anonym vittnesbevisning från privatpersoner men detta kan komma att ändras i framtiden. Denna uppsats ämnar reda ut hur anonyma vittnesmål förhåller sig till centrala processuella principer i den svenska rätten samt vilken inverkan dessa vittnesmål skulle ha på rättssäkerheten i Sverige om de skulle bli tillåtna. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på vittnen i broCurrently Sweden doesn’t allow witnesses to appear in court anonymously although some factors indicate that this might be possible in the future. This thesis aims to examine the compatibility between anonymous witnesses and central principles in the Swedish court procedure. The thesis also intends to analyse the impact a new witness regulation, with the possibility to testify anonymously, would ha

Post-sale restrictions in patent and trademark licensing agreements and their validity and compliance with competition law emphasize the problematic to what extent the intellectual property holder may enforce its IP rights. In today’s innovative markets, licensing is a one form of how the IP holder may exploit its IPR and obtain revenues. Post-sale restrictions are part of the scope of the license

Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system

In recent years, several men in Sweden have been acquitted of different sexual offences because the courts deemed that it could have occurred in their sleep. According to a leading expert, several of the Swedish acquitting cases are based on incorrect or irrelevant arguments and reasoning regarding sexsomnia. Therefore, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of how sexsomnia manifests with

I svensk rätt finns bestämmelser om skadebegräsning 70 § köplagen. Att bedöma huruvida denna skadebegränsningsplikt ska gälla också utomobligatoriskt har genom åren vållat rättsvetenskapsmännen vissa bekymmer. Denna framställning har till syfte att undersöka och klargöra innebörden av skadebegränsningsplikten i svensk rätt. Särskilt fokus ligger här på de lojalitetshänsyn som anses motivera skadebIn Swedish law there are provisions on mitigation in Section 70 of the Sale of Goods act. The assessment of whether this mitigation obligation should also apply non-contractually has caused legal scientists some concerns over the years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and clarify the meaning of the obligation to mitigate your losses in Swedish law. Particular attention is given to the

Abstract Migration is a widespread phenomenon in nature, observed in many different taxa. Migration is often caused by changes in food availability, physical conditions and predation risks. Moving is energetically costly, and hence migration is likely to be a trade-off between increased survival and an energetic cost for migrating, the cost could take shape in decreased fecundity and lower body c

This degree project aimed to produce a standardized food product enriched with 14g polar lipids (PL) and compare its effects on glycemic response and appetite sensations both acutely and following a second meal in healthy individuals. In order to elucidate the viability of enriching a prebaked product with polar lipids researchers spent multiple weeks assessing variations in recipe, cook time, coo

Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma

As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d
