The aim of the study is to describe the Holocene sediment stratigraphy of the former lakes Fönesjön and Kalvsjön (Kalvs mosse), and furthermore to describe and date stratgraphical indications of climatically c

Background: Local recurrence is a major factor affecting survival after treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It is possible that the normal processes involved in wound healing after surgical removal of a primary tumor can boost the regrowth of residual cancer cells, thereby contributing to the recurrent growth. In this work, we collected human wound fluids and used them to

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are highly immunosuppressive myeloid cells, which increase in cancer patients. The molecular mechanism behind their generation and function is unclear. Whereas granulocytic-MDSCs correlate with poor overall survival in breast cancer, the presence and relevance of monocytic-MDSCs (Mo-MDSCs) is unknown. Here we report for the first time an enrichment of funct

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING Ett gott mål mat (enteral nutrition) och en välfungerande mag-tarmkanal från mun till brunn är för de flesta en självklarhet men för vissa mer en önskvärdhet. Vid sjukdom i tarm eller bukhåla kan det hända att ett tarmavsnitt nödga's koppla's ur den normala kontinuiteten genom anläggande av en så kallad stomi. Vid överviktskirurgi (exAbolition of enteral nutrition is sometimes required in severe illness. The primary aim of the present work has been to elucidate possible changes in intestinal morphology and motor function in absence of enteral nutrition. Total absence of enteral nutrition in an isolated intestinal segment was created by bypassing the distal ileum in a rat model. Intestinal bypass causes marked circumferential a

Pictures and other iconic media are used extensively in psychological experiments on nonhuman primate perception, categorisation, etc. They are also used in everyday interaction with primates, and as pure entertainment. But in what ways do primates understand iconic artefacts? What implications do these different ways have for the conclusions we can draw from those studies on perception and catego

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige finns cirka 350 000 personer med diabetes. Motsvarande siffra i hela världen är cirka 350 miljoner människor och forskning talar för att antalet personer med diabetes kommer att öka dramatiskt under de närmsta decennierna. Den största ökningen sker i utvecklingsländer i urbana områden, till stor del beroende på livsstilsförändringar och förändringar i diet. UtSpecific aims: To examine whether the sociodemographic characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes affect the odds of reaching the recommended treatment goals for HbA1c and blood lipids (study 1). To investigate whether the odds of coronary heart disease are higher in patients with diabetes living in deprived neighborhoods than in those living in wealthy neighborhoods (Study 2). To examine th

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine what effect two different models of acquisition have on user satisfaction with information resources at academic libraries. The two models examined are the traditional model where a subject specialist librarian makes the selection, and the user-governed model where the larger part of the selection is based on user requests. The scope is the librari

This Master's thesis concerns the classification of compact discs according to the Swedish classification system, SAB. The purpose of this thesis is to critically study and discuss category Y of the SAB-system and its application in Swedish public libraries. The classification system has undergone great changes from the first edition in 1921 until today. In 1921 there were no musical recording

In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch

The employer has always played a dominant role in the Swedish labor market, developments during 1900-century, however, sought to restrict the employer's management rights under the law and agreements. 1997 came § 25a LAS, preferential rights for part-time employees to higher levels of employment. Lunning believe that legislative and preparatory work to § 25a LAS do not give answers to all appl

I 24 kap. 10 § a-e IL regleras begränsningen i avdragsrätten för ränta på vissa koncerninterna skulder. Reglerna framarbetades i samband med de av Skatteverkets konstaterade skatteflyktsförfaranden som skedde i anslutning till avdrag för koncerninterna ränteutgifter. Skatteverket har försökt att komma åt transaktionerna genom att tillämpa skatteflyktslagen men har inte haft framgång eftersom skattThe Income Tax Act Chapter 24 Section 10 a-e deals with restrictions of interest deductions for certain dividends. The regulations were worked out in connection with the established tax evasion procedures that occurred together with deductions for intergroup interest expenses. The Swedish Tax Agency has attempted to get hold of the transactions by applying the Law Against Tax Evasion, but have not

And also how they feel about the lack of validation in their field of work and the lack of profession status socia

Many infectious diseases interact with their immediate environments. Prevention strategies have to be executed on the individual level as well as within the risk environment. Risk factors refer to factors outside of the individual that influence the risk of transmission.

“It’s for the sake of the clients that we are here” – The managers’ area of discretion and their ability to influence the elderly’s daily situation. Our essay focuses on managers of nursing homes in the Swedish municipal elderly care and their ability to influence the elderly’s everyday life. We were also interested in how they use this area of discretion and the factors that influence and limit

The small size of the billions of migrating songbirds commuting between temperate breeding sites and the tropics has long prevented the study of the largest part of their annual cycle outside the breeding grounds. Using light-level loggers (geolocators), we recorded the entire annual migratory cycle of the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio, a trans-equatorial Eurasian-African passerine migrant. We
