Haemophilia is an X-linked inherited recessive disorder affecting males. The increased risk of hemorrhage is explained by the deficiency in either coagulation factor VIII (haemophilia A) or IX (haemophilia B). The severity of haemophilia A and B is characterized by the bleeding pattern. For severe haemophilia bleeding is often spontaneous, mainly in muscles and joints. Since the 1950s the manifest
Treatment with melphalan-prednisone-thalidomide improves the outcome of patients with multiple myeloma and is now considered a standard of care for patients not eligible for transplantation. However, this treatment is a major source of morbidity. A meta-analysis of data from individual patients (n=1680) in six randomized trials was performed, comparing the effects of melphalan-prednisone-thalidomi
Rewetting a dry soil can result in two response patterns of bacterial growth and respiration. In type 1, bacterial growth starts to increase linearly immediately upon rewetting and respiration rates are highest immediately upon rewetting. In type 2, bacterial growth starts to increase exponentially after a lag period with a secondary increase in respiration occurring at the start of the exponentia
Popular Abstract in Swedish En värld av mikrober Vi lever i en värld full av olika bakterier och svampar, så kallade mikrober. Med tanke på artrikedomen och mängden av infektiösa mikrober vi dagligen kommer i kontakt med kan det nästan tyckas som ett smärre mirakel att vi trots allt är så friska som vi är. Detta är dock nästan helt och hållet vårt medfödda immunförsvars förtjänst. Immunförsvaret
The occurrence of floods is expected to increase due to climate change, which may lead to destruction or loss of value of cultural heritage sites. There are approximately 500 church buildings in Lund diocese. The aim of this study was to investigate how this might affect the church buildings, their inventory, and cemeteries within Lund diocese, which are protected under Swedish law. The aim was al

Emerging infectious diseases (EID) continue to threaten the persistence of wildlife populations. The standing genetic variation of a population can affect its ability to adapt to environmental changes like EID. Levels of variation at immune genes, such as toll-like receptor genes (TLR) of the innate immune system, are particularly relevant. The current study explores the role of demographic histor
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how drawing upon nationalism and regionalism in the marketing of brands may lead to unintended consequences in greater society. This purpose has been reached by studying the Nationalist and Scandinavian discourses used in the marketing of eleven Scandinavian beauty brands. Theoretical Background: The first chapter of the theoretical background elab
Chinese furniture industry is facing serious problem of limited virgin resources, environmental pollution and has an overall low profit rate. Implementing the circular economy in the industry is necessary and will contribute to its economically sustainable growth. Exploring and understanding these limited business models and conditions under which resource efficiency can be enabled and secured, es
De senaste åren har den organiserade brottslighet i Sverige ökat markant. Landet pekas ut som skräckexempel i världen och antalet skjutningar och sprängningar ökar år för år. Samtidigt finns en utbredd tystnadskultur där allt färre svenskar vågar vittna mot den tilltalade vid ett misstänkt brott på grund av rädsla för hot och repressalier. Mot bakgrund av den otrygghet många känner i dagens samhälIn recent years, organized crime in Sweden has grown significantly. The country is pointed out as a warning example in the world, while the number of shootings and explosions increases year by year. At the same time, there is a widespread culture of silence due to which many witnesses do not dare to testify against the accused in the event of a suspected crime, partly out of a strong fear of threa
Degrowth is an academic concept and activists' niche project in Europe and other early-industrialized parts of the world aiming to reframe the current sustainability challenge of declining environmental and unjust social conditions. Its emphasis is on the radical transformation of the current societal-economic structure in order to achieve inherently sustainable conditions. There are various d
Avtalsfriheten är en grundläggande rättsprincip inom avtalsrätten och fundamental för ett marknadsekonomiskt samhälle. Ett modernt samhälle kännetecknas emellertid också av regleringar och förbud. När får intresset för avtalsfrihet ge vika för andra samhällsintressen? Uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra vilka civilrättsliga rättsverkningar som följer av att ett avtal har slutits i strid med ett legFreedom of contract is a fundamental principle within contract law and is essential in a market economy. Our society today, however, is also characterized by regulations and prohibitions. When is the interest of freedom of contract forced to submit to other societal interests? This paper aims to clarify which legal consequences may follow when a contract is concluded in violation of a statutory pr
South Africa is a water-scarce country that is expected to face challenges regarding freshwater resources in the future. This study aimed to identify the land cover in two different catchments and to analyse the water quality in relation to land cover data. The study shows that GIS and remote sensing can be successfully used as a tool in classifying land cover over time in order to use the results
The world is facing complex sustainability challenges, and the quest for a more sustainable world is characterized by uncertainty, both regarding goals and means. It is argued that this uncertainty requires a social learning process, where people collectively find shared problem perception and directions for sustainable solutions. The Swedish 4H farms have a great potential of being a platform for
Abstract Host genes for resistance to pathogens and parasites have been a subject of long-term research efforts and continue to be a hot subject in biology. Many important theories have been hypothesized through the years, and they are now being complemented by new and more detailed ones leading to increased understanding of the complex dynamics between host life history strategies and the select
A SIFO-survey ordered by E.ON has shown that more than every fourth person in Sweden feels that they have poor knowledge and control over their energy use, and that four out of ten would like to be more aware and to have better control over it. A solution is to provide the householders with feedback of their energy consumption. Studies have shown that householders can reduce energy consumption wit
The market for Wi-Fi receiver designs for latest Wi-Fi standards, that cover RF bands in the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz and 6 GHz spectrum, require increasingly stringent power consumption limitations as more of the market is driven towards battery-powered devices. In order to meet those needs, it is crucial to explore different ways of reducing power consumption in various receiver blocks. One such power con
Purpose: This paper investigates the impact of crowdsourced employee content, specifically from platforms like Glassdoor, on employer branding. It further suggests strategies for organisations to utilise this data to close the gap between their internal identity and external reputation. Building upon Urde & Greyser’s (2016) Corporate Brand Identity and Reputation Matrix (CBIRM), the study seek
Telematics units are widely spreading in the automotive industry. Getting realtime data from the systems is essential for creating services in the back office which builds value for both companies and end customers. The services created greatly impact maintenance strategies, future developments, and keeping the vehicle more sustainable and secure for both end users and customers. However, adding n
