The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the current debate concerning the removal of the statutory audit for SMEs in Sweden. In order to fulfill the thesis purpose a qualitative research approach was used along with triangulation methods. As the basis of the thesis lies in the government report SOU 2008:32 and the official comments to this report, interviews were held with key persons which
Context. Elemental abundances can be determined from stellar spectra, making it possible to study galactic formation and evolution. Accurate atomic data is essential for the reliable interpretation and modeling of astrophysical spectra. In this work, we perform laboratory studies on neutral aluminium. This element is found, for example, in young, massive stars and it is a key element for tracing o
Background The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable comparisons of health loss over time and across causes, age-sex groups, and countries. The GBD can be used to generate summary measures such as disability-adjusted life
Background: Approximately 180 mothers are treated in Swedish Intensive Care Units (ICU) due to preeclampsia each year. Although several clinical risk factors are known, prediction of critical disease is challenging. Two scavenger proteins, hemopexin (Hpx) and alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M) have been suggested to be associated with the oxidative stress seen in preeclampsia. The ratio of two other biom
Asynclitism, the most feared malposition of the fetal head during labor, still represents to date an unresolved field of interest, remaining one of the most common causes of prolonged or obstructed labor, dystocia, assisted delivery, and cesarean section. Traditionally asynclitism is diagnosed by vaginal examination, which is, however, burdened by a high grade of bias. On the contrary, the recent
Unless you are a specialist or watch a lot of obscure YouTube videos you have probably never heard of He II or superfluid helium. This substance, a unique liquid form of the element helium, is produced and used in multi-ton quantities to enable much of modern science. Altogether, He II is at the heart of more than a dozen large scale scientific facilities world-wide representing an investment of t
This chapter discusses major results and conclusions from Special Interest Group C bringing together various aspects of mobile to mobile communication from all working groups. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication scenarios are emphasized. Traffic telematics applications are currently under intense research and development for making transportation safer, more efficient, and cleaner. Communication sys
Neural stem and progenitor cells from the embryonic forebrain can be expanded under growth factor stimulation in vitro, either as free-floating aggregates called neurospheres or as attached monolayer cultures. We have previously shown that despite the maintenance of important regulatory genes such as Gsh2, in vitro expansion of cells from the lateral ganglion eminence (LGE) restricts their differe
Empirical constraints on orbital gravitational solutions for the Solar System can be derived from the Earth's geological record of past climates. Lithologically based paleoclimate data from the thick, coal-bearing, fluvial-lacustrine sequences of the Junggar Basin of Northwestern China (paleolatitude similar to 60 degrees) show that climate variability of the warm and glacier-free high latitudes o
In Mozambique, despite considerable investments in the promotion of drinking water supplies, the access to quality water of sufficient quantity for the majority of people is still far from optimal. Current official figures report that nearly half of the country´s population and about 45 per cent of urban residents do not have access to safe water. As a result of poor performance or absence of publ
Inflammation influences several steps of adult neurogenesis, but whether it regulates the functional integration of the new neurons is unknown. Here, we explored, using confocal microscopy and whole-cell patch-clamp recordings, whether a chronic inflammatory environment affects the morphological and electrophysiological properties of new dentate gyrus granule cells, labeled with a retroviral vecto

I en tid av omfattande psykisk ohälsa och ständigt påtryckande sociala normer gällande kroppsideal är tonårstiden en kritisk period. De rådande diskussionerna som talar om att tonåringars psykiska hälsa förvärras är alarmerande och tyder på ett växande behov av att studera detta närmre. Denna studie ämnade att undersöka om det bland 13–14 åringar har skett en förändring gällande psykisk ohälsa ochIn a time of extensive mental health problems and constantly pressing social norms regarding body ideals, adolescence is a critical period. The current discussion concerning the worsening of adolescents' mental health is alarming and indicates a growing need to study this more closely. This study aimed to examine whether there has been a change among 13-14-year-olds concerning mental health an
Objective and Methods: This thesis investigates the relationship between insecure attachment (anxiety and avoidance), rumination, and overgeneralized episodic memory retrieval in nonclinical adults, addressing the potential moderating role of rumination in the attachment- overgeneralization link. A community sample of 41 Swedish-speaking women participated in a narrative memory task involving atta
Modern medicine is rapidly evolving toward personalized treatments, where therapies are tailored to an individual’s genetic profile. This shift is driven by the promise of pharmacogenomics, which aims to match patients with the most effective medications based on their unique biological makeup. As a result, biotherapeutics made from biological sources like proteins, peptides, and antibodies are be
The success of cell therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) depends on reliable differentiation of stem cells into functional pancreatic islets. Current protocols produce stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets) that contain non-endocrine cells and show limited maturity. We developed a robust protocol that generates functional SC-islets from all eight tested human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines. Differe
