Detta examensarbete undersöker den nuvarande situationen för cyklande barn i Sverige. Den undersöker ett internationellt och historiskt perspektiv, vilket ger jämförbar information om säkerheten för cyklande barn i andra samhällen. Variationer över tiden i totalt cyklad längd studeras och dess inverkan på säkerheten är noga övervägd. Minskade cykelnivåer visar sig vara en avgörande faktor för säkeThis master thesis investigates the current safety situation for biking children in Sweden. It investigates an international and a historical perspective, which gives comparable information about bike safety for children in other societies. Alterations over time in total biked length is studied and its impact on the safety are considered. Reduction in levels of biking are found to be a vital facto

Twenty-nine consecutive cases with a t(8;21)(q22;q22) in the bone marrow (BM) karyotype were retrospectively studied concerning clinical, morphological and cytogenetic data. All had been diagnosed as acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), 27 FAB subtype M2 and two M1, comprising 5% of all cytogenetically analysed AML during 18 yr. Auer rods were the most consistent t(8;21)-associated morphological finding

Popular Abstract in Swedish Endokrina och metabola sjukdomstillstånd har många gemensamma komponenter. Att förstå de signalvägar som ligger till grund för dessa sjukdomar hjälper oss att utveckla bättre behandlingsmetoder. Det övergripande syftet med min forskning är att undersöka den roll s.k. G-protein kopplade receptorer spelar i endokrina metaboliska sjukdomar, mer specifikt de signalvägar somThe aims of this dissertation were to investigate the effects of extracellular purines on insulin secretion, and apoptosis in mouse pancreatic islets and β-cells; to examine if high glucose and free fatty acids induces β-cell apoptosis via autocrine effects of ADP acting on the P2Y13 receptor; and to investigate the modulation of extracellular purines in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) throug

The purpose of this master´s thesis is to examine how the cultural exchange function of Swedish libraries may be perceived on their websites. A further intention is to examine how the library websites are used at the present. Two quantitative web-based surveys have been sent out to a great number of Swedish public libraries. The first survey was directed to the webmasters of the libraries, in orde

The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers, in the social services department of economical aid, are affected by the increasing number of clients. More specifically we focused on how the social workers job situation as a whole, how the feelings of their work and the ability to reach the goals of the organizations was affected by the changing circumstances. To examine this we used

Background As a part of the Service Organization’s earlier initiated and at the moment on-going project; “A more efficient Service Organization”, daily management has been identified as playing a major part. The starting-point for this has been to gain insight into how the Service Organization is actually performing and how it would be possible to measure, follow-up and visualize this performance.

In the yearly report from the Swedish governmental agency The Ombudsman for Children, Bakom fasaden (2011), children and adolescents placed under government custody in so called HVB-homes (homes for treatment and living) gives voice to the fact that they are dissatisfied that opportunities to use the Internet are restricted. At the same time, Sweden is considered one of the countries in the world

With the rapid development of digitalization and technology, the consumption environment has also changed a lot. Online food delivery has become a very popular way of ordering, especially with the covid-19 outbreak. But at the same time, the dark side it brings to sustainability cannot be ignored. This study aims to describe and understand the attitude and perceptions that influence consumer behav

Risk management is increasingly used in dam safety and includes risk analysis, risk evaluation and risk reduction. Structural Reliability Analysis (SRA) is a probabilistic methodology that may be used in the risk assessment process. SRA has been frequently used for calibration of partial factors in limit state design codes for structures (not dams). In a reliability analysis a mathematical descrip

This paper describes a driving simulator trial to evaluate driver reactions to a number of alternative information/ warning modes of a multi-modal system for the “safe speed and safe distance” concept. In 2006, eight Human Machine Interaction alternatives, consisting of a combination of visual, haptic and auditory modes were used alternatively to give information/warning to the driver on safe spee

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate how the use and perceived unmet need of mobility devices (MD) in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) evolve over a 3-year period. Methods: The study reports baseline assessments (n = 255) and comparisons for participants with complete data at baseline and the 3-year follow-up (n = 165). Structured questions addressed the use and perceived unmet need of

Sepsis is a common and often deadly systemic response to an infection, usually caused by bacteria. The gold standard for finding the causing pathogen in a blood sample is blood culture, which may take hours to days. Shortening the time to diagnosis would significantly reduce mortality. To replace the time-consuming blood culture we are developing a method to directly separate bacteria from red and

Future manufacturing systems need to be more flexible, to embrace tougher and constantly changing market demands. They need to make better use of plant data, ideally utilising all data from the entire plant. Low-level data should be refined toreal-time information for decision-making, to facilitate competitiveness through informed and timely decisions. The Line Information System Architecture (LIS

Methods for rapid and direct quantification of enzyme kinetics independent of the substrate stand in high demand for both fundamental research and bioprocess development. This study addresses the need for a generic method by developing an automated, standardizable HPLC platform monitoring reaction progress in near real-time. The method was applied to amine transaminase (ATA) catalyzed reactions in

Objective: To study whether serum levels of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), free or bound to etanercept, in biological-naïve adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) could predict the long-term efficacy of etanercept, measured as drug survival. Method: We identified 145 biological-naïve patients with RA starting treatment with etanercept at the Department of Rheumatology, Skåne University Hospital

The present work reports new experimental data for premixed flames of nitromethane, CH3NO2, at atmospheric pressure, and an evaluation of two contemporary kinetic mechanisms based on these new flame studies as well as previously published experimental data on laminar burning velocity and ignition. Flames of nitromethane + air at lean (ϕ = 0.8) and rich (ϕ = 1.2) conditions were stabilized on a fla

Abstract in UndeterminedCharacteristic of ecosystems is that different organisms can have similar functions and hence provide similar ecosystem services. Consequently functional diversity can maintain the rate of services despite environmental fluctuations. In this paper we present a method for estimating the resilience value of biodiversity. Central to a resilience perspective on biological conse
