Arbetet som nu pågår inom EU syftar till att minska den administrativa bördan för företagen genom enklare regler för de europeiska företagen som regelförändringar inom bolagsrätt, redovisning och revision. I de flesta medlemsländer inom EU har antingen revisionsplikt aldrig funnits eller ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten för små och medelstora företag (SME) redan skett. Utvecklingen är i enlighe

På grund av den världsomfattande diskussionen rörande ”klimatförändringen” som pågått under de senaste åren, så har försök gjorts för att få människor att ändra sina vanor och för att hitta alternativa energikällor. I dag är det fossila bränslen som dominerar som energikällor men eftersom de ger upphov till höga koldioxidhalter pågår det forskning för att ta fram alternativa bränslen. En grupp av There has been a worldwide debate about “the climate change” over the past years, accompanied with the efforts in finding a more environmental friendly way to live. One area of research is to find replacements for the fossil fuels, which is the major energy source today. The aim of this project is to investigate the atmospheric properties of a new potential group of biofuels, i.e. the group of com

The global transition to renewable energies is increasingly driven by wind energy, which now experiences its biggest growth in the emerging and developing countries. The development of large-scale wind farms raises concerns over often neglected territorial and social dimensions of wind energy development – important issues in areas like the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico, where indigenous

Background: Cystatin C may add explanatory power for associations with mortality in combination with other filtration markers, possibly indicating pathways other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, this has not been firmly established since interpretation of associations independent of measured GFR (mGFR) is limited by potential multicollinearity between markers of GFR. The primary aim

BACKGROUND: Serial assessment of phosphorus is currently recommended by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, but its additional value versus a single measurement is uncertain. METHODS: We studied data from 17 414 HD patients in the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study, a prospective cohort study, and calculated the area under the curve (AUC) by multiplying the

A search for a chargino-neutralino pair decaying via the 125 GeV Higgs boson into photons is presented. The study is based on the data collected between 2015 and 2018 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. No significant excess over the expected background is observed. Upper limits at 95% conf

Serum levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) have been shown to be biomarker for prediction of the quantitative aspects of ovarian reserve. On the male side, sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has been demonstrated to be an important predictor of outcomes in standard IVF procedures but to less degree in intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedures (ICSI). The purpo

Astrocytic glutamate (Glt) uptake keeps brain interstitial Glt levels low. Within the astrocytes Glt is converted to glutamine (Gln), which is released and reconverted to Glt in neurons. The Glt-Gln cycle is energy demanding and impaired energy metabolism has been suggested to cause low interstitial Gln/Glt ratios. Using microdialysis (MD) measurements from visually noninjured cortex in 33 neuroin

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is beneficial for pediatric patients with relapsed or (very) high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in remission. A total of 1115 consecutive patients were included in the ALL SCT 2003 BFM study and the ALL SCT 2007 I-BFM study and were stratified according to relapse risk (standard versus high versus very high risk of relapse) and do

BACKGROUND: Transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can occur through inhalation of fine droplets or aerosols containing infectious virus. The objective of this study was to identify situations, patient characteristics, environmental parameters, and aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) associated with airborne severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus.METHODS:

A search for resonances in events with at least one isolated lepton (e or μ) and two jets is performed using 139 fb −1 of s = 13 TeV proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Deviations from a smoothly falling background hypothesis are tested in three- and four-body invariant mass distributions constructed from leptons and jets, including jets identified as originatin

Background: Previous studies have investigated [18F]-fluorocholine (FCH) positron emission tomography with computed tomography (PET/CT) in primary staging of men with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer and have generally shown high specificity and poor sensitivity. FCH PET/CT is not recommended for the primary staging of metastases in the European guidelines for prostate cancer. However, it

The pursuit for equality between men and women is an ongoing struggle. One of the largest differences between men and women in general is the amount of time spent taking care of children and the home. This difference between men and women is one of the reasons women have less opportunity to pursue a career, be financially independent or take part in politics in most parts of the world. This differ
