BackgroundThe optimal ways of using aromatase inhibitors or tamoxifen as endocrine treatment for early breast cancer remains uncertain.MethodsWe undertook meta-analyses of individual data on 31 920 postmenopausal women with oestrogen-receptor-positive early breast cancer in the randomised trials of 5 years of aromatase inhibitor versus 5 years of tamoxifen; of 5 years of aromatase inhibitor versus

Birgitta of Sweden (Birgitta Birgersdotter, 1302/03-1373) and her younger contemporary Catherine of Siena (Caterina Benincasa, 1347-1380) form the most powerful and influential female duo in European history. Both enjoyed saintly reputations in life, while acting as the charismatic leaders of a considerable group of followers consisting of clergy as well as mighty secular men and women. They are a

Heterogeneous patterns of genomic differentiation are commonly documented between closely related populations and there is considerable interest in identifying factors that contribute to their formation. These factors could include genomic features (e.g., areas of low recombination) that promote processes like linked selection (positive or purifying selection that affects linked neutral sites) at

Germany‘s small towns are facing major challenges and at the same time offer great potential for relieving pressure on German cities. 24 million people currently live in the approximately 2,100 small towns, which is around 29% of the total population. The research shows that, on the one hand, small towns are struggling with demographic change and out-migration, especially of young people. On the

De så kallade ränteavdragsbegränsningsreglerna trädde ikraft 1 januari 2009 för att få bukt med den skatteplanering med räntor som koncernbolag använde sig av och som inte kunde kommas åt med skatteflyktslagen. Eftersom det även med dessa regler fanns stora möjligheter för koncernbolag att skatteplanera med interna lån skärptes reglerna från och med 1 januari 2013. I den lagstiftningen tillkoThe so-called interest deduction restriction rules entered into force on 1 January 2009 in order to overcome the tax planning regarding interest deductions used by group companies, that was not covered by the Tax Avoidance Act. Since these rules also provided opportunities for group companies to plan their taxes with internal loans the rules were tightened from 1 January 2013. In this new leg

Inverse problems are important in quantum physics as their solutions are essential in order to describe a number of systems using measurable information, e.g. excitation energies or material properties. The problem with inverse problems is that they are usually very hard to solve. One method that could be useful in solving these problems is artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks ha

Plattektoniska processer formar idag vår jord genom vulkanism, relaterad till divergenta och konvergenta plattrörelser. Hur länge har plattektoniken existerat och hur kan vi spåra plattektoniska processer bakåt i tiden? Detta kandidatarbete behandlar och diskuterar olika typer av plattektoniska indikatorer, hur de går att koppla till moderna processer och hur tillförlitliga de anses vara. Moderna Plate tectonic processes shapes our earth due to volcanism, related to divergent and convergent plate motions. When did plate tectonics begin and how can we trace plate tectonic processes throughout time? This Bachelor thesis address and discuss different plate tectonic indicators and their reliability. Modern analogues are indicators that can be linked to modern plate tectonic processes, and does

This diploma work has been performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey, a company supplying catalysts and technologies, such as formaldehyde plants and catalysts. The aim of the master thesis project was to investigate if and how water impacts the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over a FeMo-catalyst. The investigation covers how water affects the selectivity to the main product a

With the gain of productivity in farming the last decades, there has been great loss in species richness. Many plant species that have evolved and adapted alongside to traditional farming and benefiting to the managed land use, are now disappearing in great numbers. Three thirds of Sweden’s endangered plant species are those who thrive in managed grasslands like meadows and grazing areas. The trad

Until rather recently, safety from a traffic perspective has almost exclusively been described by accident statistic which in itself does not reveal the true safety issues. For this reason the use of traffic safety indicators has become more frequently used as a complement to describe the traffic safety situation. This thesis treats the behavioral differences of Norwegian and Danish cyclists from

There are only a few construction projects that include a Logistic Manager today. In many cases the profit is hard to see, since the involving tasks in logistics are the same even if there is a Logistic Manager included in the project or not. It may seem like the job is already taken care of and that a Logistic Manager therefore would be unnecessary. Even though the project tasks are the same, the

Being a successful global business player depends on firm’s ability to mobilize its resources worldwide. For this reason getting the right people with the right skills, at the right time, at the right place is crucial and makes expatriation one of the most important issues of today’s business world agenda. In terms of expatriation; national culture provides the context for the whole process. The a

Resective surgery for exocrine pancreatic cancer can currently be performed with little or no hospital mortality. The operation is most often performed as a Whipple resection, but several modifications (e.g., subtotal pancreatectomy) have been advocated. The pylorus-preserving modification has gained in popularity, although its ability to remove all lymph nodes has been questioned. Total pancreate

Background Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by excessive heart rate increase on standing and orthostatic intolerance. Previous data indicate autoimmune involvement. We studied serum activity against G protein-coupled receptors in relation to symptoms in patients with POTS and controls using a commercial cell-based assay. Methods and Results Forty-eight patients wit

The purpose of this master's thesis is twofold. Firstly, the purpose is to illuminate how librarians at seven different faculties at the Lund University Libraries define their supportive work towards scientists. Secondly, the purpose is to show in which ways the librarians' work affect the learning and identity of the librarians as well as how this work is influenced by the epistemic cultu
