Objectives To determine the detection rate of fetal malformations and chromosomal abnormalities and the rate of false-positive ultrasound diagnoses at routine ultrasound examinations carried out by specially trained midwives in an unselected pregnant population front 2000 to 2005, and to describe the consequences of true-positive and false-positive ultrasound diagnoses of fetal malformations. Meth
Fisher 344 rats with implanted N29 glioma tumours were treated with Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF) in combination with immunization using either IFN-gamma-gene-transfected syngeneic tumour cells or IFN-gamma transfected N29 cells treated with 10 micro-M 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine (DAC). Tumours (N29) were inoculated subcutaneously on both thighs of female F- 344 syngeneic rats. The left tumour was treate
The Department of Physics at Lund University is participating in a European Union project called EUMAPP (European Union Microdose AMS Partnership Programme), in which sample preparation and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements of biological samples from microdosing studies have been made. This paper describes a simplified method of converting biological samples to solid graphite for C-
Natural enemies such as predatory arthropods and parasitoids have the potential to suppress pest species and provide the ecosystem service biological control. When predicting the potential of biological control in agriculture it is important to give evidence on how agricultural management influence the abundance and functions of the natural enemies. In this study we examined whether managements pr
Even though the mammalian heart has been investigated for many years, there are still uncertainties in the fields of cardiac cell biology and regeneration with regard to exact fractions of cardiomyocytes (CMs) at different developmental stages, their plasticity after cardiac lesion and also their basal turnover rate. A main shortcoming is the accurate identification of CM and the demonstration of
Uppsatsen behandlar vilken betydelse FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter bör ha för barn i skoindustrin. För att besvara denna huvudfråga tar uppsatsen upp följande delfrågor: - Hur ser situationen ut när det gäller barnarbete? - Vad är FN:s Barnkonvention? - Vem har ansvar för att Barnkonventionen efterlevs? - Hur och var sker tillverkningen av skor? - Vilka rutiner har skoföretag när det gälThe essay investigates what meaning the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child should have to children in the shoe industry. To be able to answer this main issue the essay is divided into the following sub-categories: - How does the situation look like when it comes to child labour? - What is the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child? - Who is responsible for the obse
Denna uppsats behandlar identitetsskapande i förhållande till konsumtion. Vi har belyst hur skapandet av en identitet formas av en individs konsumtionsvanor, där vi valt att titta på det designersamarbete H&M, under hösten 2010, ingått med modehuset Lanvin. För att kunna få svar på detta har vi genomfört två kvalitativa metoder i vår studie bestående av fem intervjuer och en observation. De te
I denna uppsats har jag studerat vad den ekonomiska synen på fattigdom i FN:s Millenniedeklaration har för effekter på utveckling. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i och har sin teoretiska förankring i FN:s Millenniedeklaration. Denna sätts i relation till den historiska utvecklingsteoretiska bakgrunden samt den nya tvärvetenskapliga synen på fattigdom som mer än ett ekonomiskt begrepp. Alternativa
The new building code was implemented in Sweden in 1994. This building code made it more possible to use solutions, not only standard but also alternative solutions, based upon analytical calculations to show whether the fire safety level in a building is enough or not. With computer programs and equations it is possible to dimension the type and proportions of the selected fire safety equipment.
The importance of fire and evacuation safety in institutional cares is the main focus of this report. It is written around seven work areas that should be considered to create a high or satisfactory safety level. The report shows that the safety of the patient is directly linked to the nursing staff, since the patient is likely to need assistance both in a situation of fire and in an evacuation si
Abstract Being a public authority, as the Swedish Vägverket, includes communication with youth. A lot of research is done concerning youth and its life conditions – they are the future and thereby important to understand. A common goal for public authorities of today is to cooperate to create more value for the citizen. The web service Körkortsportalen is a result of that. The research questions a
Tidigare forskning har utrett kopplingen mellan personalavdelningens ansvarsuppgifter och CSR. Hur CSR arbetet integreras i organisationen och hur den kommuniceras till de anställda är en viktig faktor när det gäller att skapa motivation. Syftet med denna uppsats att undersöka vilken betydelse ett företags CSR arbete har för de anställdas arbetsmotivation. Vidare hur intern-kommunikationen av dett
During the last decade, a new trend has emerged among several Latin American countries in changing their constitutions. The reforms have by many been welcomed, especially among the indigenous peoples who have, since the colonization of the continent, been marginalised compared to the rest of the population. Bolivia is the country who most recently changed its constitution, now with a big focus on
Kenya is a country with great differences between rich and poor. While almost half of the population in Kenya is living below the poverty line, the country in the early 1990’s began to democratize, with support by the people. This thesis’ aim is to examine income inequality and democratic legitimacy in Kenya. I will carry out a case study in which two theories about consequences of income inequali
Syftet är att analysera och undersöka verkan hos tre faktorer inom demokratiseringsprocessen i Vitryssland. Uppsatsens tre förklaringsfaktorer är stat, civilsamhälle och president. Analysen av dessa förklaringsfaktorer behandlar tiden från självständighet 1991 fram till idag. Materialet i uppsatsen består av böcker främst hämtade från kursen democratization vid lunds universitet och vetenskapliga
