Collection and delivery points have become increasingly important due to the current e-commerce trend. In addition to the general rise within e- commerce the extraordinary situation with an ongoing SARS-CoV-2- pandemic has further increased the demand for sufficient parcel deliveries. The purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate how different stakeholders connected to e-commerce measu
Efficient systemic pharmacological treatment of solid tumors is hampered by inadequate tumor concentration of cytostatics necessitating development of smart local drug delivery systems. To overcome this, we demonstrate that doxorubicin (DOX), a cornerstone drug used for osteosarcoma treatment, shows reversible accretion to hydroxyapatite (HA) of both nano (nHA) and micro (mHA) size. nHA particles
While foreign direct investments (FDI) are promoted as a vehicle for economic development their environmental consequences are less estab-lished. This study tests the hypotheses that 1) FDI led to environmental deg-radation in form of increased greenhouse gas emissions during Sub-Saharan Africa´s recent growth spurt but that 2) this impact was felt to a lesser extent in countries with a higher qua
Im März 1847 erließ Papst Pius IX die Enzyklika „Praedecessores Nostros“, die die katholische Geistlichkeit weltweit aufrief, zur Linderung der großen irischen Hungersnot drei Tage der Gebete und Kollekten abzuhalten. Die Bischöfe, die diese Botschaft in den italienischen Staaten weiterführten, verfassten ihrerseits Appelle zur lokalen Durchführung des Triduums. Sie animierten die Gläubigen, dem B
The study extends a previous investigation on the use of oral decongestants during pregnancy with another 1 000 women (1 017 infants) who reported the use of such drugs in early pregnancy and 1 125 women (1 145 infants) who had such drugs prescribed later in pregnancy. The results on the beneficial delivery outcome after late use of the drugs with a reduced rate of preterm birth and low birth weig
How sticky were wages during the Great Depression? Although classic accounts emphasize the importance of nominal rigidity in amplifying deflationary shocks, the evidence is limited. In this paper, I calculate the degree of nominal wage rigidity in the United Kingdom between the wars using new granular data covering millions of wages.I find that nominal wages were more flexible downwards than in mo
How sticky were wages during the Great Depression? Although classic accounts emphasise the importance of nominal rigidity in amplifying deflationary shocks, the evidence is limited. In this paper, I calculate the degree of nominal wage rigidity in the United Kingdom between the wars using new granular data covering millions of wages. I find that nominal wages changed infrequently but that wage cut
Objective. The study was designed as a prospective non-interventional, observational study to elucidate the potential value of fetal middle cerebral artery Doppler velocimetry to identify brain-sparing flow in a surveillance program for suspected intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Material and methods. The study was carried out at Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden. One hundred and twen
Laboratoriet för metabola störningar och leversjukdomar leds av Philipp Kaldis, som är professor vid Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper och vice koordinator för Lunds universitets Diabetescentrum (LUDC). Nya data tyder på att upp till 30% av befolkningen lider av leversjukdomar inklusive icke-alkoholorsakad fettleversjukdom (NAFLD), som kan vidareutvecklas till icke-alkoholorsakad steatohepatiThe metabolic disorders and liver disease laboratory is headed by Philipp Kaldis, who is a Professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences and a vice-coordinator of the Lund University Diabetes Centre (LUDC). Recent data suggests that up to 30% of the population suffers from liver diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can further develop to non-alcoholic steatohepati
