Inflammatory pseudotumors of the urinary bladder are rare, benign, nonepithelial tumors. Fewer than 30 have been reported, and no data are available on their karyotypic characteristics and/or the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis. We performed short-term culturing and cytogenetic analysis of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the bladder, finding a der(20)t(12;20)(q13similar toq15;q13) as the only
In this audio paper I will focus on two ideas. The first is the ephemeral city. The conscious re-imagining of the cityscape, from elements ranging from the historic to the fantastical, can effect an individual’s sense of place as much as the physical structures that comprise it. These imagined – or ephemeral – cities can be a way of coming to grips with an urban environment changing in rapid and dis
The use of clinical autopsy has been in decline for many years throughout healthcare systems of developed countries despite studies showing substantial discrepancies between autopsy results and pre-mortal clinical diagnoses. We conducted a study to evaluate over time the use and results of clinical autopsies in Sweden. We reviewed the autopsy reports and autopsy referrals of 2410 adult (age > 17)
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 20–50% of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also common in adults with CAD, and may contribute to POAF as well to the reoccurrence of AF in patients at long-term. In the current secondary analysis of the Randomized Intervention with Continuous Positive Airway
Glycolipids such as gangliosides affect the properties of lipid membranes and in extension the interactions between membranes and other biomolecules like proteins. To better understand how the properties of individual lipid molecules can contribute to shape the functional aspects of a membrane, the spatial restriction and dynamics of C–H bond segments can be measured using nuclear magnetic re
Background: Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is a coronary physiology index used to assess the severity of coronary artery stenosis to guide revascularization. iFR has previously demonstrated noninferior short-term outcome compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR), but data on longer-term outcome have been lacking. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prespecified 5-year
This paper studies volatility prediction on OMX Stockholm 30, OMX Helsinki 25 and OMX Nordic 40. The models used are a historical variance model, an exponentially weighted moving average model and three models from the GARCH family. These are GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR(1,1), with normal and t-distribution respectively. The volatility for 2008-2013 is forecasted with a rolling window technique
In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,
Principen om barnets bästa är en grundläggande princip inom den svenska och internationella barnrätten. Barnets bästa ska vara i främsta rummet vid alla åtgärder som rör barn och är en av barnkonventionens viktigaste grundpelare. Denna uppsats är avsedd att granska vilken innebörd begreppet barnets bästa är avsett att ha enligt barnkonventionen och utlänningslagen. Avsikten är även att granska hurThe principle of the best interests of the child is a fundamental part of both Swedish and international children´s rights: in all actions concerning children, the best interest of the child should at least be a primary consideration. This is a foundation principle of the 1990 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The aim of this thesis is to examine what meaning the principle of the best inte
Kristoffer Magnusson Pollinering av blommor utanför hagmarker Det senaste århundradet har den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskapet minskat markant på grund av den ökade intensiteten i jordbruket. Vad som fanns tidigare var ett mer lågintensivt jordbruk med traditionella verktyg och metoder. Detta lågintensiva jordbruk skapade otroligt artrika ängar och hagmarker i jordbrukslandskapet. EfThe aim of this study is to examine the spillover effects of diversity in insect pollinated plants in the vicinity of semi-natural grasslands, if the biodiversity in plants is increased as a result of being close to pastures and if a local environmental support has an effect on its surroundings. As agricultural intensification reduces biodiversity and contributes to habitat degradation, studies on
This master thesis is a study of how three public libraries in Scania approach refugees in 2015: Helsingborg, Lund and Malmö’s public library. The Swedish Library Act states that public libraries should be available to and usable by all people. The purpose of this research is to find out to which degree public libraries have the possibilities to fulfill this Act, in terms of their organizational s
Ensamrätten till ett varumärke är en dynamisk rätt, där skyddsomfånget förändras över tid. Skyddsomfånget avgörs utefter graden av särskiljningsförmåga, vilket innebär ett varumärkes förmåga att särskilja varumärkesinnehavarens varor eller tjänster från andra näringsidkares varor eller tjänster. Vid varumärkesregistrering är särskiljningsförmåga ett absolut krav. Är fallet så att ett varumärke helA trademark right is a dynamic right, where the scope of protection alters over time. The scope of protection is determined according to the degree of distinctiveness, which means the trademark’s ability to distinguishing the goods and services of one trader from the goods and services of another. A trademark must be capable of distinguishing to be registered. If a trademark has completely lost it
Den där blomman är min! Det är juni. Vart man än vänder blicken är det grönt och blommorna står som vackra färgklickar i allt det gröna. Fjärilar, bin och andra insekter surrar omkring bland blommorna i jakt på föda. Det myllrar av liv och olika arter. Men vart ifrån kommer egentligen all den mångfald av växter och insekter som vi ser? För att förstå biodiversiteten runtomkring oss och hur olikaA significant proportion of the diversity of species seen today are insects and their host plants, and the evolutionary mechanisms behind their radiation have long captured the interest of biologists. The peacock flies of the large genus Tephritis (Tephritidae) use different host plants in the family Asteraceae for their reproduction. There is variation both in use of host plant species and in the
Despite all of the detrimental effects predicted in the event of non-action regarding climate change, a large number of people in the Global North are in a state of social inertia and openly criticise climate change mitigation (CCM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) measures. Most explanatory approaches of this phenomenon do not question the basic beliefs that our system is based on in their ana
The famous problem of Canadian Literature in the contemporary critical landscape is how it, as an institution, denies all but certain kinds of identities. Alexander Beecroft suggests that a national literature, through its attempts to locate and articulate a communal identity and a notion of fellow-feeling, curates characteristics among members of previously numerous groups which can function to d
