Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy. The survival rate in the Scandinavian countries is now around 85 %. ALL patients treated with cranial radiotherapy (CRT) are at risk for growth hormone deficiency (GHD), but little is known about other pituitary insufficiencies, e.g. ACTH. Adult ALL patients (median age at study 25 years), treated with 24 Gy (18-30) of CR
Archaeology has always centred on material studies and has a long tradition of establishing methods for addressing the vast source material at hand. Typology is one of the most prominent of these methods, where the material is categorised into types according to morphology and geometry. There is an ongoing debate regarding the subjectivity of the typological approach and the problems that follow t
In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an
Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analyseraThe landform group called drumlins has since long been enigmatic; this study aims to shed some light on them. By mapping their extent in two areas around Lake Åsnen, Småland, southern Sweden, their extent and prop-erties have been mapped with a level of detail that would have been next to impossible just a few years ago. The method used in this study utilized LiDAR derived high resolution hillshad
Vertical axis wind turbines have vertical rotation axles, unlike traditional wind turbines, which rotate around horizontal axles. Vertical wind turbines convert energy from turbulent winds, pick up wind energy from all directions and are easy to serve. The noise from a vertical axis wind turbine is only one-tenth as strong as horizontal-axle wind turbines, which make it possible to place the verti
Sammanfattning Människohandel är en cynisk handel med möjlighet för förövarna att tjäna stora pengar. Risken att bli lagförd är relativt liten och straffen är förhållandevis låga. De stora orättvisorna i världen gör de utsatta människorna, främst kvinnor och barn, till ett lätt byte i denna industri. Visst finns möjligheten att tränga bort tanken att det skulle beröra oss, men den bittra sanningenSummary Human trafficking is a cynical trading with the opportunity for offenders to make big money. The risk to be tried in court is relatively small, and the penalty is relatively low. The vulnerable people in an unjust world, mainly women and children, become easy pray in this industry. We can pretend that this is not of our concern, but the bitter truth is the opposite. It is here, in the rich
By the investigation of pollution induced community tolerance (PICT), this study aimed at elucidating whether or not ionic silver (Ag+) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) differ in toxic mode of action. Specifically, bacterial communities in natural water underwent a 6, 7 or 14 day selection for tolerance to Ag+ or citrate-coated 20 nm AgNPs. Bacterial protein synthesis was measured by [3H]-leucine i
Author: Kajsa Gustafsson and Linda Lundgren Title: “You’re always number two in prison” - A qualitative study of factors affecting the inmates’ lives while in prison [translated title]. Supervisor: Weddig Runquist Assessor: Lars Harrysson The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of imprisonment on inmates and how they cope with prison life. This essay is based on a qualitative st
Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor
Skolans behov av lokaler förändras ständigt i takt med att undervisningen behöver anpassa sig efter ny teknologi, nya krav och lärandemetoder. Dessutom så varierar antalet barn över åren vilket bidrar till att behovet av klassrum och utrymmen ökar eller minskar. För att möta dessa förändringar krävs flexibla och anpassningsbara skollokaler. Förr var den mesta undervisningen klassrumsbaserad med eA school facilities needs are constantly shifting due to the adaptation of new technology, educational requirements and teaching pedagogy. Additionally, the number of students vary each year, increasing or decreasing the need of educational spaces. To face these changes the schools’ premises need to be flexible and adaptable. Previously, most of the education took place in the classroom with a te
The Earth’s population is steadily increasing and there is a fast growing urbanization as people move from rural areas to cities. Lack of housing is a big issue in many cities. At the same time, dwellings are growing in size demanding more land and natural resources, a development which is not sustainable in the long run. That is problematic as it occupies land and requires natural resources, whic
Both energy security and the demand for energy, particularly from renewable energy sources, as principle drivers, call for the investigation of renewable energy potential in Poland. The city of Zabrze, located in the Upper Silesia province and urban zone of Katowice, dedicates continuous efforts to the improvement of its waste management against the background of European Union Directives requirin
The goal of this thesis was to design and implement a distributed real time vision system in Java and to investigate its performance with the aid of some robot experiments. Controlling a process requires reference- and feedback signals which can be sensed by means of digital cameras. The image data coming from the cameras needs to be collected, processed and transmitted through the network without
The aim of this study is to investigate whether the choice of payment method in mergers and acquisitions is determined by the credit rating existence of the bidder and if the credit rating level has an impact of the financing source. The methods used are Probit and GLM logit regressions. The dependent variables are payment method and fraction of cash with credit rating and credit rating level as t
Uppsatsens tudelade syfte är dels att utreda hur svenska börsbolags efterlevnad av de krav som ställs i IAS 36 avseende nedskrivning av goodwill har förändrats under perioden 2008-2012, dels att förklara varför denna förändring eller brist på förändring har skett. Uppsatsen bygger på ett interpretativistiskt förhållningssätt, eftersom uppsatsen syftar till att försöka beskriva och förklara den soThe thesis has two purposes. The first purpose is to investigate to what extent the companies listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm AB ("Börsen") have observed the rules of IAS 36 regarding impairment testing of goodwill during the time period 2008-2012. The second purpose is to explain the reasons behind the changes, or lack thereof, in the observance of IAS 36. The thesis is built upon an in
Sverige har idag ett system med en mycket stark presumtion för villkorlig frigivning efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff. Enbart den intagnes skötsamhet under sin anstaltsvistelse kan läggas till grund för att den villkorliga frigivningen ska kunna skjutas upp. En majoritet av de svenska riksdagspartierna vill ändra eller avveckla systemet med villkorlig frigivning så som det ser ut iThe laws regarding parole in Sweden consists of mandatory release of a prisoner once two-thirds of their prison sentence has been served. It is only the behavior of the prisoner while in prison that can cause the parole to be declined and delayed. A majority of the Parliament parties in Sweden wants to change or remove the system of parole as it is today. It is mostly the question of whether or no
The thesis seeks to do a discursive analysis of the articulation of religion’s role in promoting gender equality in Danish development policies. The empirical material analysed is that of official development policies regarding gender equality and statements from the Minister of Development Cooperation in the area of gender equality and freedom of religion and belief. The thesis draws on theories
