Background: The Toll-like receptor proteins are important in host defense and initiation of the innate and adaptive immune responses. A number of studies have identified associations between genetic variation in the Toll-like receptor genes and allergic disorders such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. The present study aim to search for genetic variation associated with allergic rhinitis in the Tol
Patients and methods: We conducted a study among 5533 survivors of testicular cancer on the basis of Swedish Family-Cancer Database for which the cancer data were retrieved from the nationwide Cancer Registry. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) of second cancer were calculated by comparing with the rates of the first cancers. The follow-up was started in 1980 and carried on through 2006. Results
Feedback is a fundamental concept in automatic control. Feedback loops are used extensively in industrial applications today and there are work-procedures for designing traditional single parameter control loops. In the work procedure it is important to select control-parameters, manipulated parameters and control-strategies. A similar work-procedure could also be used for designing plant-wide con
The purpose of this study was to analyze two approaches to concepts of a just response to the atrocities of Democratic Kampuchea as they are presently operating in the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia and in Khmer Buddhism. It assessed what Buddhism and the ECCC offer in answer to Cambodians’ justice needs and where both ways of conceiving justice overlap and diverge. The research
The forms of water and their thermal stability in bedded salt are crucial in determining the material's suitability for heat-generating nuclear waste storage. Here we show first-of-its-kind incoherent inelastic neutron scattering (IINS) results of bedded salts to distinguish three water environments: intergranular water molecules confined to grain boundaries, water trapped as brine in fluid inclus
Energy-saving glass is becoming very popular in building design due to their effective shielding of building interior against heat entering the building with infrared (IR) waves. This is obtained by depositing a thin layer of metallic-oxide on the glass surface using special sputtering processes. This layer attenuates IR waves and hence keeps buildings cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Howeve
Background: The majority of non-syndromic colorectal cancers (CRCs) can be described as a complex disease. A two-stage case-control study on CRC susceptibility was conducted to assess the influence of the ancestral alleles in the polymorphisms previously associated with nutrition-related complex diseases. Methods: In stage I, 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped in a hospital-b
The nearest neighbour level spacing distribution and the Δ3 statistic of level fluctuations associated with very high spin states (I ≳ 30) in rare-earth deformed nuclei are analysed by means of a cranked shell model. The many particle-many hole configurations created in the rotating Nilsson potential are mixed by the surface-delta two-body residual interaction. The levels in the near-yrast region
The purpose of this Master’s thesis has been to establish a method with which the stochastic field for the hydraulic conductivity within an aquifer can be determined. The stochastic field is characterised by the mean value and the standard deviation of the hydraulic conductivity together with a selected statistical distribution and the correlation between different points within the aquifer. The a
Thesis purpose: The thesis aims to fill a gap in literature regarding introduction in new organizations for individuals with a professional past, to enable change in both organization and work tasks. Methodology: The research has been conducted through a hermeneutic methodology and interpretive stance. Qualitative interviews have been analysed through searching for themes. Research Question: How d
De senaste årens fokus på säkerhetsrisker i samhället har gett upphov till olika former av polisarbete, såsom gränsöverskridande och underrättelsebaserat polisarbete. Den här studien uppmärksammar ett samverkansprojekt mellan gränsmyndigheter i Östersjöområdet som pågick mellan 2014 och 2015. Projektet fick namnet Turnstone och involverade underrättelsepoliser, gränspoliser och kustbevakare från SThe risks and insecurities emphasised in contemporary societies have given rise to diverse forms of policing, such as transnational and intelligence-based police collaborations. This dissertation focuses on a border police collaboration project, called Turnstone, that took place between 2014 and 2015, aiming to address issues related to irregular migration and cross border crimes in the Baltic Sea
The elliptic flow of prompt and non-prompt J/ ψ was measured in the dimuon decay channel in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN=5.02 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 0.42nb-1 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The prompt and non-prompt signals are separated using a two-dimensional simultaneous fit of the invariant mass and pseudo-proper decay time of the dimuon system from the J/ ψ decay. The measurement
BACKGROUND: Meal-induced metabolic changes trigger an acute inflammatory response, contributing to chronic inflammation and associated diseases. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to characterize variability in postprandial inflammatory responses using traditional (IL-6) and novel [glycoprotein acetylation (GlycA)] biomarkers of inflammation and dissect their biological determinants with a focus on postprandial

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka demokratiska aspekter inom El Sistema med fokus på gruppundervisning. Studien har gjorts på två El Sistema skolor, en i Mexiko och en i Sverige. Data har samlats in genom observationer och intervjuer enligt kvalitativ forskningsmetod. Resultatet presenteras i två olika delar, en för Mexiko och en för Malmö. Dessa två delar är uppdelade i fyra kategorier varThe purpose of this study is to investigate democratic aspects within El Sistema with a focus on group instruction. The study has taken place at two different El Sistema schools, one in Mexico and one in Sweden. The material for the survey has been acquired through interviews and observation using qualitative methods. The result is presented in two parts, one for Mexico and one for Malmö. These tw
The aim of this study was to examine social workers comprehension of their role in the homelessness discourse. The used method was a qualitative method persisting of five semi-structured interviews with social workers working with homelessness within social services. Michael Lipskys (2010) theory of street-level bureaucracy was used as a theoretical base to answer the questions asked in the study.
This thesis aims to provide a case study for a critical theory of mythopoetics, via analysis of four ‘Brexit narratives’: The Bad Boys of Brexit by Arron Banks, Unleashing Demons by Craig Oliver, All Out War by Tim Shipman and The Brexit Club by Owen Bennett. My objective is to demonstrate the prevalence of mythopoetics in political and historical discourse, via analysis of four competing politica
The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of newly educated social workers having spent their first time working in the Swedish social services. The method chosen for this study was qualitative. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five professional social workers, who had spent three to nine months working with social assistance in Malmö Stad. When analysing the results, Mich
