BACKGROUND: Previously we have found reduced levels of total serum calcium and 1,25(OH)2D3 despite an unaltered stimulated parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion 1 year after hemithyroidectomy. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the possible relationship between calcium homeostasis, thyroid hormones and bone resorption in a group of 45 consecutive patients subjected to hemithyroidectomy be
The sequence of the mitochondrial (mt) DNA of the horse (Equus caballus) was determined. The length of the sequence presented is 16 660 bp. This figure, however, is not absolute due to pronounced heteroplasmy caused by variable numbers of the motif GTGCACCT in the control region of different molecules. Boundaries of the 13 peptide-coding genes were determined by the presence of start and stop codo
Based on a pharmacophore model of the benzodiazepine-binding site of GABA(A) receptors, a series of 2-aryl-2,6-dihydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-c]quinazoline-3,5-diones (structure type I) were designed, synthesized, and identified as high-affinity ligands of the binding site. For several compounds, K(i) values of around 0.20nM were determined. They show a structural resemblance with the previously descr
The objective of this paper was to show the potential additional insight that result from adding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to plant performance evaluation criteria, such as effluent quality (EQI) and operational cost (OCI) indices, when evaluating (plant-wide) control/operational strategies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The proposed GHG evaluation is based on a set of comprehensive
We consider the problem of decomposing a video sequence into a superposition of (a given number of) moving layers. For this problem, we propose an energy minimization approach based on the coding cost. Our contributions affect both the model (what is minimized) and the algorithmic side (how it is minimized). The novelty of the coding-cost model is the inclusion of a refined model of the image form
Inkomster i inkomstslaget kapital kan erhållas i form av löpande avkastning samt i form av kapitalvinst vid avyttring av tillgångar. Det är endast privatpersoner som beskattas i inkomstslaget kapital med en skatt på 30 procent. Juridiska personer skall redovisa sina kapitalinkomster i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet.

It´s only natural persons who are taxed in the income category capital with a tax rate of 30 percent. Juridical person shall report their capital income in the income category business tax.

Frågan om hur man bör se på straffansvar och påföljder för personer som begår brott under inflytande av en allvarlig psykisk störning är omdebatterade och därtill mycket komplicerad. Intresset av att personer som begår brott möts av en adekvat reaktion på brottet ställs här emot behovet av att tillräckligt beakta gärningsmannens psykiska tillstånd och behov av behandling. Principen att vissa persoThe question of how one should look at penalties and sanctions for persons committing crimes under the influence of a serious mental illness is controversial and very complicated. The interest in that people who commit crimes are met with an adequate response to crime is put up against the need to sufficiently take into account the offender's mental condition and need for treatment. The princi
In an economic environment signified by shortened product lifecycles, product proliferation and reduced profit margins, product replacement decision making (PRDM) ought to be an important part of management. The case is however often that considerably more energy and resources at a firm are spent at the opposite task, hence product development. The main purpose of this master thesis was to constru
An enhanced greenhouse effect could possibly result in frequency changes of extreme events. Observations of variations and changes in the frequency of extreme air pressure is an example of such events. Extreme air pressures are here defined as pressure lower than or equal to 990 hPa or higher than or equal to 1036 hPa. A gridded dataset from UKMO (United Kingdom Meteorological Office) with a spati
Background: In patients on hemodialysis with end-stage renal disease there is an increasing interest in measuring both residual renal function (RRF) and quantity and quality of dialysis because insufficient dialysis gives higher mortality. For that purpose we have measured clearances of two urographic iodine (I) contrast media (CM) with different molecular masses (iohexol 821 u and iodixanol 1,550
We developed a pebble-driven core accretion model to study the formation and evolution of planets around stars in the stellar mass range of 0.08 M⊙-1 M⊙. By Monte Carlo sampling of the initial conditions, the growth and migration of a large number of individual protoplanetary embryos were simulated in a population synthesis manner. We tested two hypotheses for the birth locations of embryos: at th
Background: Physical education (PE) teachers in practically all countries are expected to help their students develop movement capability. To achieve this objective, teachers need certain knowledge and competencies. The question of how PE teachers should develop their capacities to achieve this task has received only limited research attention. Aim: The broad objective of this paper is to contribu
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression by binding to the 3' untranslated regions (UTR) of target genes. Aberrant expression of miRNAs can lead to disease, including cancer. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Among several factors, differential expression of miRNA can have serious consequ
Despite the crucial role of various insulin analogs in achieving satisfactory glycemic control, a comprehensive understanding of their in-solution dynamic mechanisms still holds the potential to further optimize rapid insulin analogs, thus significantly improving the well-being of individuals with Type 1 Diabetes. Here, we employed hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to decipher the mole
Accident data analysis is the common basis for any decision-making process on traffic safety strategies and management. The quality of the data, in terms of completeness (accuracy and precision of information about accidents) and coverage (severity of accidents recorded, but also the level of accident reporting or underreporting), is always a concern because it can lead to wrong decisions. An acci
Trajectory planning under kinodynamic constraints is fundamental for advanced robotics applications that require dexterous, reactive, and rapid skills in complex environments. These constraints, which may represent task, safety, or actuator limitations, are essential for ensuring the proper functioning of robotic platforms and preventing unexpected behaviors. Recent advances in kinodynamic plannin
A substantial external force transmitted to the brain may cause a severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) , resulting in structural brain damage and/or functional impairment. Despite progress in management, traumatic brain injury remains a major cause of severe disability and death. This thesis evaluates treatment strategies and novel interventions in children and adults with sTBI and comprises the f
