Abstract in UndeterminedCytomegalovirus (CMV) causes severe sequelae in congenitally infected newborns and may cause life-threatening disease in immuno-deficient patients. Recent findings demonstrate the possibility to alleviate the disease by infusing intravenous immunoglobulin G (IgG) preparations, indicating that antibodies are an effective therapeutic option. Modern molecular methodologies, li

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jag har i den här avhandlingen behandlat problemställningar inom tre olika områden inom astronomin. Det som sammanlänkar dessa är att alla innefattar dubbelstjärnor där avståndet mellan stjärnorna är litet, dvs de har en kort period. De är också alla datorsimuleringar. Jag har satt upp en modell för att betrakta de astronomiska systemen och genom numeriska metoder beräkThis thesis introduces and summarizes four papers dealing with computer simulations of astrophysical processes involving binaries. The first part gives the rational and theoretical background to these papers. In paper I and II a statistical approach to studying eclipsing binaries is described. By using population synthesis models for binaries the probabilities for eclipses are calculated for diff

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingsarbetets främsta syfte har varit att analysera vilka drivkrafter som ligger bakom beslutet att återvandra, samt att kartlägga återvandringen från Sverige 1968-1996 avseende sammansättning och utvecklingsmönster. Analysen har bedrivits ur ett arbetsmarknadsekonomiskt perspektiv, med fokus på den långsiktiga utvecklingen av tillgång och efterfrågan på arbetskraThis book deals with return migration from Sweden in the period 1968-1996 to Chile, Germany, Greece, Iran, Poland, Turkey, United States and Yugoslavia, against the background of economic and political developments in Sweden and in the different source countries. An important question in the study regards whether return migrants deviate from other immigrants in terms of human capital characteristi

During the course of development the motor repertoire of animals and humans alike go through dramatic changes. New motor patterns arise; movements become coordinated, improve in precision and are at the same time continuously calibrated to the changing body dimensions. The cerebellum is critical for movement coordination and adaptation in adults. Also, interfering with cerebellar development durin

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to investigate the value of percutaneous fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in the diagnosis and management of liver tumours. METHODS: FNAC followed by histopathological examination was carried out in 216 patients with suspected liver tumours. The final diagnosis was primary liver cancer in 106, colorectal metastases in 51, non-colorectal metastases in 46,

Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine (ASI) is a rare disease of unknown aetiology. The glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) enzyme catalyses the detoxification of compounds involved in carcinogenesis of adenocarcinoma of the stomach, colon and lung, including constituents of tobacco smoke. We investigated a possible interaction between the lack of GSTM1 enzyme activity and the carcinogenic compou

Myoelektrisk kontroll av handprotes Att förlora en hand är en stor förlust och även om allt mer avancerades proteser tillverkas är de fortfarande långt ifrån att prestera lika bra som en riktig hand. För att kunna styra handproteser på ett intuitivt sätt används myoelektrisk kontroll. En metod där man spelar in kroppen muskelsignaler och översätter dem till signaler som kan styra t.ex. en robothaThe goals of this project are to investigate the viability of using the MyoTM armband developed by Thalmic labs as a tool for myoelectric control of a hand prosthesis as well as investigate whether the armbands ability to record its spatial position and orientation can be used to increase the performance of the prosthesis control program. Using the surface electrodes, gyroscopes and accelerometers

Since the Financial and Eurozone crisis that erupted in 2009/2010, Germany has seen the rise of a new populist radical right party; the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). In the years after its establishment in 2013, this party has experienced many electoral successes and entered not only thirteen federal state parliaments, but also the European Parliament in 2014. This development is atypical for

A new low pressure fuel system implementation for Scania’s trucks is being investigated. The main challenge consists in exchanging the mechanical pump with electrical pumps. The electrical pumps must then be controlled to supply exactly the demanded amount of fuel at the required pressure. System redundancy allows a lot of degrees of freedom influencing the final performance. This thesis studies t

Streptomyces is the largest genus in the phylum Actinobacteria, known for their complex life cycle and secondary metabolite production. The model bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor grows _lamentously by tip extension and hyphal branching. The hyphal tip is highly organised, with various structural proteins forming a large assembly termed the polarisome. An essential protein, DivIVA, localises to th

Uppgifter om hot och våld är i studien inte styrkta genom dom. Arbetet rör sig inom fälten familjerätt – offentlig rätt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka effekter och konsekvenser av en sekretessmarkering. Är gemensam vårdnad och umgänge möjliThe thesis is examining classified personal data within the national registration, ”Sekretessmarkering”, when it includes children and what consequences that might have in a legal process concerning custody. The thesis is within the fields of family law - public law. The purpose of the thesis is to examine the effects and consequences of such a classification. Is joint custody and access rights po

Hänsyn till biologisk mångfald viktigt vid skogsbränsleuttag Situationen för den biologiska mångfalden i skogen är allvarlig och att plocka ut skogsbränsle kan bidra till ytterligare försämringar. Hänsyn till biologisk mångfald vid skogsbränsleuttag är därför mycket viktig och det går faktiskt att anpassa skogsbränsleuttaget så att den negativa påverkan blir så liten som möjligt. Skogsbränsle ärThis study aims to investigate how the biodiversity in forests in southern Sweden is affected by extraction of forest fuel and to identify what can be done to preserve the biodiversity while extracting forest fuel. The study is performed on behalf of the energy company Kraftringen, which buys large amounts of forest fuel every year. Firstly, a literature study on how biodiversity in forests is af

Det är inget ovanligt med inkomstöverföringar mellan företag i en internationell företagsgrupp, d.v.s. att medel som inte utgör en marknadsmässig ersättning för en motprestation överförs mellan företag i intressegemenskap. Motiven för detta kan vara att minska inkomstskatten i ett högskatteland genom att överföra vinster till ett mer skatteförmånligt land, eller att minska den totala skattebelastnThis thesis aims to analyze the elements of transfer pricing with emphasis on the peculiarities that the nature of intellectual property involve and the difficulties that enterprises may face when implementing transfer pricing. The concept of transfer pricing relates to the system of assessing the price for the transfer of goods, services and intangibles between member entities of a multinational

Syreupptagningsförmåga är en bra indikator av kardiopulmonär hälsa, men be- höver speciell utrustning och är tidskrävande att mäta. Det finns sätt att upp- skatta syreupptagningsförmåga baserat på andra faktorer så som puls och accele- ration. Målet med denna masteruppsats var att undersöka om modeller som upp- skattar syreupptag baserat på accelerationsdata insamlad från sensorer i smartp- hones,Oxygen uptake is a great indicator of cardiopulmonary health but requires spe- cialized equipment and is time consuming to measure. There are ways to estimate oxygen uptake based on other factors such as heart rate and acceleration. The aim of this master thesis was to investigate whether models estimating oxygen uptake based on acceleration data collected from the sensors in smartphones, and step

Uppsatsen undersöker problemet med naked statistical evidence och ursprungssannolikhetsproblemet i den bayesianska bevisvärderingsmetoden. För att uppfylla detta syfte nyttjas en transdisciplinär och rättsfilosofisk metod vilken möjliggör undersökning av de kunskapsteoretiska och normativa hänsyn som präglar den rättsliga bevisvärderingen. De teoretiska grunderna för den bayesianska metoden presThe thesis investigates the problem of naked statistical evidence and the problem of priors in the Bayesian theory of legal evidence. To fulfil this purpose, a transdisciplinary and legal philosophical method is used which enables an examination of the epistemological and normative considerations that characterize inquiries in legal evidence theory. The theoretical foundations of the Bayesian met
