Popular Abstract in Swedish Polyklorerade bifenyler (PCB) är ett samlingsnamn för ett antal kemiska föreningar. De utmärker sig genom att de har en god elektrisk isoleringsförmåga och tålighet för höga temperaturer, och de har därför använts i bl.a. transformatorer och kondensatorer men även som mjukgörare i plaster och färger. Sedan det visat sig att exponering för PCB innebar allvarliga hälsoeff

Background: A major part of medical pathology in internal medicine is associated with chronic alcoholism. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether screening for Alcohol Use Disorders (AUD) can be improved through determination of direct ethanol metabolites compared to traditional biological state markers, the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and additional self-repo

Introduction: Clinical trials have shown promising results for extended half-life factor VIII concentrates but little is known about individuals' valuation of haemophilia treatment attributes. Aim: To assess patient/caregiver and population valuation of treatment attributes of prophylactic regimens for people with severe haemophilia A. Methods: Members ≥16 years of the Swedish Haemophilia Society

Motivation: The Tundra Trait Team (TTT) database includes field-based measurements of key traits related to plant form and function at multiple sites across the tundra biome. This dataset can be used to address theoretical questions about plant strategy and trade-offs, trait–environment relationships and environmental filtering, and trait variation across spatial scales, to validate satellite data

Previous cytogenetic studies of myeloid and acute lymphoblastic leukemias in children with Down syndrome (ML-DS and DS-ALL) have revealed significant differences in abnormality patterns between such cases and acute leukemias in general. Also, certain molecular genetic aberrations characterize DS-related leukemias, such as GATA1 mutations in ML-DS and deregulation of the CRLF2 gene in DS-ALL. Wheth

Background: Trauma to the pancreas is rare but associated with significant morbidity. Currently available management guidelines are based on low-quality evidence and data on long-term outcomes is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate clinical characteristics and patient-reported long-term outcomes for pancreatic injury. Methods: A retrospective cohort study evaluating treatment for pancreatic inju

Avtalsfrihet är en viktig princip i ett skiljeförfarande. Parterna kan genom avtal påverka handläggningen i skiljenämnden och konstruera regler som binder skiljemännen i bedömningen av deras tvist. Det finns dock begränsningar för avtalsfriheten, då förfarandet måste uppnå vissa rättssäkerhetsgarantier och parterna måste ha möjlighet att föra sin talan. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka omFreedom of contract is an important principle in arbitration. The parties may by agreement affect the arbitration proceedings and construct procedural rules that bind the arbitrators in the assessment of their dispute. However, there are restrictions on the freedom of contract, since the procedure must attain certain procedural safeguards and the parties must have the opportunity to present their

Den svenska företagsbeskattningen baseras på att varje enskilt företag är ett självständigt skattskyldigt subjekt. Däremot finns vissa möjligheter att beakta flera företags resultat av näringsverksamhet när dessa ingår i en koncern. Ett alternativ som har ställts upp är de skatterättsliga koncernbidragen. Då koncernbidragsreglerna aktualiseras och en värdeöverföring har skett mellan två företag inSwedish corporate taxation is based on the fact that each individual company is an independently taxable subject. On the other hand, in some circumstances it is possible to take into account several companies' income of economic activities, when these are part of a corporate group. One option available is the group contribution. If the rules concerning group contributions are applicable and a

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda umgängessabotage i relation till barnets bästa. Ämnet är aktuellt då antalet vårdnadstvister ökar. Dessutom finns det behov av att utreda frågan då barn i större utsträckning ses som individer med egna rättigheter och intressen. En sådan utveckling kan ses utifrån ändringen i FB år 2006 samt inkorporeringen av barnkonventionen. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § FB ska baThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate visitation interference in relation to the child’s best interests. The topic is relevant as the number of custody disputes in Sweden has increased. In addition, there is a need to investigate the question because children are more widely regarded as individuals with their own rights and interests. Such development can be seen from the change in FB in 20

Den svenska successionsrätten innefattar en rätt för bröstarvingar att erhålla en laglott. Bestämmelserna har blivit anklagade för att vara föråldrade och har varit omdebatterad såväl i media som i riksdagen. Följande uppsats kommer att undersöka om laglotten har blivit föråldrad och utröna vilka argument som kan tänkas motivera ett bibehållande av lagstiftningen. Syftet är att se hur gällande rätThe Swedish law of succession includes a right for the direct heir to retain a part of the heritage if the deceased have drawn a will. This phenomenon is called statutory share of inheritance (in Swedish: laglott). The regulations have been accused of being out-of-date and have been up for debate in both media as well as in the parliament. Following essay will examine if the statutory share is out

Ocean acidification is a consequence of the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. When CO2 is dissolved in water it affects the composition of ions and lowers the pH of the water. As the partial CO2 pressure in the atmosphere increases a new balance is reached with the surface waters which causes the pH of the surface oceans to decrease. For small shallow seas this effec

In order to reduce lead time and cost in the product development of vehicles more development will be made virtually. However, the predictability capability of simulation models is questioned and the simulation models need to be correlated versus hardware measurements and modeling techniques improved. As part of the process of vehicle system model capability improvements the main objective of thi

Background and the Situation at Company X To remain competitive, it is essential for companies to take advantage of new business opportunities. However, seizing new opportunities often imply changes within the organization, and projects associated with change are bound to encounter resistance. To efficiently manage change and thereby avoid resistance and engage in measures that generate support fo

We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to

The sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) is a cosmopolitan species with a broad distribution that ranges from the tropics to the poles. Males are known to migrate between nutrient-rich high latitude waters and low latitude breeding grounds. In the North Atlantic, large males are found up to the southern limits of the ice edge. However, their seasonal distribution patterns remain poorly known in th

With a basis in the history of the library plan and the municipal gouvernance, debate in regards to cultural policy, the downsizing of libr

Oats (Avena sativa) are a valued food product due to their nutritional profile and proven health benefits. However, prior to consumption, they require heat processing to prevent off-flavors and undesirable mouthfeel caused by lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of lipids. While the heat treatment inactivates lipases, it raises concerns regarding sustainability and oat quality. The discovery of novel funct
