Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which was initially identified as a type of autoimmune pancreatitis around the year 2000, is now widely acknowledged to be a systemic sickness. Based on both general and organ-specific criteria, alongside laboratory measurements of IgG4-subtype, the diagnosis is made. The diagnosis requires, however, a heightened index of suspicion, especially given the

Purpose: This paper aims to focus on academic library managers’ learning practices in the context of cooperative work supported by computational artefacts. Academic library managers’ everyday work is mainly cooperative. Their cooperation is supported predominantly by computational artefacts. Learning how to use the computational artefacts efficiently and effectively involves understanding the chan

The aim of this study was to get an understanding of preschool teacher’s approach when they suspect maltreatment of a child. We wanted to know which factors affects if the preschool teachers report their concern to the social services or not and what routines preschools have for these situations. To do this we held semi structured interviews with six preschool teachers operative in both public and

Uppsatsen behandlar lagen (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, dess bakgrund, innehåll och verkningar. Institutet framtidsfullmakt är tänkt att stärka den enskildes möjligheter att styra över sin framtid i fall av försämrad mental kapacitet. Upprättandet av en framtidsfullmakt ska ske då den enskilde har beslutskompetens men träder i kraft först efter att denna kapacitet har gått förlorad till följd This thesis revolves around the law (2017: 310) on continuing powers of attorney; its background, content and effects. The continuing power of attorney is intended to strengthen an individual's ability to control their future in cases of impaired mental capacity. In order to establish a continuing power of attorney, the individual must hold a decision-making competence. However, the act only c

In recent years, history of knowledge has been established as a new theoretical field in the study of history. An important perspective in this field is the theory of circulation of knowledge, according to which knowledge should be studied through its movement between different spheres in society – movement that, furthermore, contributes to changing this knowledge. A promising line of inquiry in t

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown using catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy were used as scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes. The probes were prepared by placing a GaN nanowire on a tungsten STM probe using a nanomanipulator in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and welding them together using an electron beam induced platinum deposition. STM imaging was performed on indiuA microscopy field known as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), uses various methods to get a picture of a sample surface down to such a small scale that individual atoms can be observed. One particular method to perform such microscopy uses the phenomena of quantum tunneling rather than using visible light. This method is called Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and the way it works is extremely d

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Inledning Alla typer av verksamheter inverkar på miljön på något sätt, och med miljöaspekter menas aktiviteter som har eller kan ha inverkan på den omgivande miljön. Med miljö avses samspelet mellan allt från människor, mark, luft, vatten, flora, fauna och naturresurser. Om en miljöaspekt är så pass allvarlig att den orsakar eller kan orsaka stor miljöpåverkan,

This paper explores the reason why young adults choose to talk about their psychological health and wellbeing on the video-sharing website, YouTube. The study was carried out by six semi-structured interviews with six different ‘YouTubers’ (meaning people who have their own channel and upload videos to the website). To qualify for the study the respondents had to have at least 5000 subscribers to

Background: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in the intestines is an inflammatory condition which activates leukocytes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Bilberry and chokeberry fruits are rich sources of polyphenols which may act as antioxidants and prevent lipid peroxidation. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) may improve microbial status in the intestines and in

The relationship between Church of Sweden’s diocese of Lund and the Evangelical Church of the Church Province of Saxony in the German Democratic Republic started in 1983 and came to an end with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. The exchange-based relationship between the two churches started with a request from the church in East Germany, searching for allies and ecumenical contacts in Western

In this report a study is made of a sandwich wall especially produced for agricultural buildings. The wall contains two concrete slabs, one for the façade and one on the inside with insulation between them. The concrete slabs are joined together by lattice girders. The inner slab has a thicker cross section in it’s ends and less insulation, the girders also has a smaller distance between them. The

Abstract Author: Magnus Andersson Title: Burnout: A study of manager’s comprehension on the subject of burnout Supervisor: Anders Olsson Assessor: Mats Hilte The aim of this study was to examine the unit manager’s comprehension on the problem of burnout. I conducted a qualitative study in which I interviewed five unit managers from different parts of a local municipality. Seven themes were identif

The purpose of this paper has been to examine the ways in which professionals describe their work with pregnant drug-addicts. The paper raises the following questions; · How does the deviant behavior, that using drugs during pregnancy can be described as, affect the professionals in their work with pregnant drug-addicts? · How do the professionals experience their own role, and the roles of othe

The first purpose of this thesis is to investigate if, how, and why the perceived collective identity in the town of Karlskrona has changed. Collective identities can due to their socially constructed nature change rapidly in light of new collective experiences. The reason for suspecting such a change in Karlskrona is the immense impact that the change in the global economy, according to Saskia Sa

In 98 patients undergoing elective vascular surgery, specimens for bacterial cultures were obtained from urine, ischaemic ulcers, incisional wounds and the implanted grafts. Wound and graft infections were registered and compared with the results of these cultures and suspected risk factors in an attempt to find the source of infections. Antibiotic prophylaxis with cefuroxime was given for 24 h be

Eight patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis were diagnosed and treated at our clinic between February 1991 and February 1993. Five of these were contact lens wearers, two had suffered recent corneal trauma and one had recently undergone penetrating keratoplasty. The diagnoses were based on both culture and histological examination of biopsy material in three cases, on culture alone in two cases and

Background and aims: The gastric hormone ghrelin has been reported to stimulate food intake, increase weight gain, and cause obesity but its precise physiological role remains unclear. We investigated the long term effects of gastrectomy evoked ghrelin deficiency and of daily ghrelin injections on daily food intake, body weight, fat mass, lean body mass, and bone mass in mice. Methods: Ghrelin wa

BackgroundLiver metastases are a common consequence of colorectal cancer. When feasible, surgical resection is first-line treatment. Synchronous disease can be treated with different strategies. Traditionally, the primary tumour is resected first followed by resection of the liver metastases (bowel-first). The other option, which is increasing, is the liver-first strategy, where resection of the l
