Purpose: Although advances in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treatment have led to improved disease-free survival, this has been accompanied by an increased risk of second cancers. We sought to quantify the second cancer risks and to investigate the impact of family history. Patients and Methods: Using the Swedish Family-Cancer Project Database, we identified 9,522 individuals with primary HL diagnosed bet
Desert vernacular architecture is a product of a sustainable building cycle. Desert local inhabitants inherited the traditional way of building from their ancestors developed and then transferred knowledge from one generation to another. This building and cultural cycle is about to disappear in many desert vernacular settlements of the world. Global ambitions and socio-economic developments are so
Background: Causes and consequences of mesenteric embolization after endovascular aorto-iliac procedures have not been studied adequately. Methods: Consecutive patients with mesenteric embolization after endovascular aorto-iliac intervention between 2011 and 2015 (case-group, n = 9) were investigated and compared with age, gender and procedure-matched random controls (n = 36). Results: Compared to
This paper presents the features of a survey on Swedish firms’ export decisions conducted in February 2015 focusing on a sample of 10,000 small and medium-sized enterprises. The survey was divided into two major sections. The first section targeted all firms and focused on firms’ general situation (e.g. competition, type of co-operations, etc.). The second section focused on firms’ export decision

The emergence of financial institutions such as the exchanges or bourses of northern Europe in the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries made possible the emergence of speculation in financial instruments. Speculation evolved into a game with its own logic, and the implied ethos of the speculator prioritised abstract notions and self-interest.This article investigates the relation between this e
I Sverige finns det drygt en miljon företag varav ungefär 400 000 utgörs av aktiebolag. Merparten av alla aktiebolag utgörs av företag med en eller ett fåtal aktieägare s.k. fåmansföretag. Beskattningen av ett aktiebolag är densamma oavsett storleken på företaget. Beskattningen av aktieägare i ett fåmansföretag sker emellertid enligt särskilda regler. Fåmansreglerna syftar till att ägarna inte skaIn Sweden there are more than one million companies witch about 400 000 consists of limited companies. Mostly of the companies is owned by one or a few shareholders, closely hold companies. The taxation doesn´t differ between a regular company and a closely hold company. But for the shareholders of closely hold companies is there a different taxation. These rules aiming for shareholders not to con
DivIVA, ett protein med spetskompetens Streptomyceter är jordbakterier som bildar mycel medförgrenade hyfer mycket likt hur många svampar växer. Bakterierna i detta släkte är kända producenter av antibiotika och omkring två tredjedelar av all antibiotika tillgänglig idag produceras av streptomyceter och deras släktingar. Förutom deras produktion av antibiotika så har streptomyceterna en unik livsStreptomyces species are filamentous bacteria from the phylum Actinobacteria in which cell elongation occurs at the poles of the cell. This differs from many other bacteria like Escherichia coli where cell elongation occurs by insertion of peptidoglycan in the lateral wall. An essential protein for polar growth in Streptomyces is the coil-coiled protein DivIVA. DivIVA has an essential role in orch
The fast food industry is one of the important and growing segments of the overall restaurant industry. At the same time, it is a very dynamic and competitive business where too many vendors are chasing too few clients.To maintain sustainable growth and long-term success it is crucial to meet consumer needs and offer value to them. In order to achieve this, fast food providers must first evaluate
Vilket förtroende för offentliga välfärdsinstitutioner har transpersoner i Sverige? Denna kandidatuppsats vill undersöka förtroendet för offentliga välfärdsinstitutioner. Förtroende för institutioner verkar påverka i vilken utsträckning en individ vänder sig till välfärdsinstitutioner och litar på välfärden. Detta får konsekvenser i enskilda individers liv. Transpersoner som grupp har enligt de seTo what degree do transgender people trust welfare? This bachelorthesis aims to survey the trust in welfare institutions. Trust in institutions seems to affect to which extent people turn to and trust in welfare and will hence have consequences on individuals everyday-lives. Trangender people have, according to recent years Public Health Surveys, an inferior psychosocial position compared to the p
Åtgärder för att minska risker är en viktig del av de risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser som genomförs av svenska kommuner. Studien visar dock att de åtgärder som tas upp i kommunala risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser inte följs upp i någon större utsträckning. Risk- och sårbarhetsanalyser genomförs av alla svenska kommuner och en viktig del i detta arbete är att identifiera åtgärder för att reducera risker o
Grey-box identification is a tool to identify and improve nonlinear system models by estimating parameters. The estimation is done by optimizing a cost function using measurement data. The robustness of the estimations can then be analyzed with statistics. JModelica.org is a platform for modeling and optimization of dynamical models. In order to do grey-box identification one need models and be ab
Syftet med föreliggande kandidatuppsats var att med en explorativ ansats undersöka hur fenomenet ohövlighet upplevs bland svenska arbetstagare samt att definiera begreppet utifrån en svensk kontext. Undersökningen genomfördes med semistrukturerade intervjuer av 6 deltagare från södra Sverige. Fem huvudtema identifierades genom tematisk analys: intention, makt, påverkan, förväntningar och respekt. The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate how the phenomenon of workplace incivility is experienced amongst Swedish employees and to define the concept of workplace incivility within a Swedish context. The study was carried out using semi-structured interviews on six participants from southern Sweden. Five main themes were identified through thematic analysis; intention, power, impac
This essay begins with the author trying to find similar problem areas within the topic of children´s rights in Romania and in Sweden. The contrasting countries, both members of the EU turns out having one common similarity: discrimination. To investigate the topic further a thesis regarding institutional and structural discrimination by Masoud Kamali is applied. The thesis will provide the inform
This research examines the introduction and diffusion of biochar as a soil amendment and biochar producing stoves in Embu County, Kenya, together with its related socio-economic potentials and challenges. The area has seen rapid rates of deforestation together with declining soil fertility during the last couple of decades. Biochar as a soil amendment and biochar producing stoves offers a viable s
Patterns of local adaptation are expected to emerge when selection is spatially heterogeneous and sufficiently strong relative to the action of other evolutionary forces. The observation of local adaptation thus provides important insight into evolutionary processes and the adaptive divergence between populations. The seaweed fly Coelopa frigida exhibits an inversion polymorphism in all population
The use of computer models in research and development is a powerful tool to make the engineering process more effective. By providing accurate simulations, the need for working prototypes and extensive testing is reduced. This Master’s Thesis investigates the Gambro WRO 300 H reverse osmosis water purification system with the aim of creating a working and easily adaptable computer model of the ma
Engaging with stakeholders became more important for companies and brands throughout the years, especially through the rise of Social Media. TV shows do not only need to survive and convince offline through their compelling narrative – they need to transform their passive spectators into active participants in order to increase their reach, their economic success and to strengthen their fanbase. D
Agricultural systems, specifically in the global South, and the people living of them, are more than others, exposed to changes in the environment around them. Smallholder farmers (that work in agroecological systems), with a low standard of living, are the most vulnerable to short-term shocks and long-term stresses. There have been attempts by development agencies, researchers and local governmen
