Purpose. Patients with soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are at increased risk of second primary malignancies, including a second STS, but distinction between metastases and a second primary STS is difficult. Patients and Methods. Array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) was applied to 30 multiple STS of the extremities and the trunk wall from 13 patients. Different histotypes were present wi

A new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. Today this level is about 80%. The growing car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. Due to the increased demands on recycling, the disassembly industry is expected to undergo comprehensive

The present study examined the rheological blood velocity profile in the conduit femoral artery during rhythmic muscle contractions at different muscle forces. Eight healthy volunteers performed one-legged, dynamic knee-extensor exercise at work rates of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 W at 60 contractions per minute. The time and space-averaged, amplitude-weighted mean ( V-mean) and maximum (V-max) blood f

This paper describes the design, development and characteristics of a tyrosinase (polyphenol oxidase) modified amperometric screen-printed biosensor array, with the enzyme cross-linked in a redox-hydrogel namely the PVI13-dmeOs polymer. Two types of Au-screen-printed four-channel electrode arrays, differing in design and insulating layer, were compared and investigated. Au-, graphite-coated-Au- an

Hårdmetall är kompositmaterial av hårda volframkarbidkristaller i en seg koboltmatris. Det är ett användbart material, framförallt inom skärande bearbetning så som fräsning, borrning och svarvning, pga att segheten från kobolten kombineras med hårdheten från volframkarbiden. Man kan relatera hårdheten och segheten i hårdmetallen till dess mikrostruktur, där små karbidkristaller ger ett hårdare matThe grain growth of WC in WC-7%Co cemented carbides with Cr-addition was investigated for cemented carbides synthesized from four different raw materials varying in grain size. Cr additions were 4%of the Co binder phase. To investigate the effect of Cr on grain growth two of the raw materials were also synthesized without Cr-additions. To investigate the effect of cobalt content on grain growth ce

Formell jämlikhet innebär en garanti för likabehandling och går ut på att lagstiftningen till sin utformning inte får särbehandla en viss grupp. Detta innebär att rättsregler ska vara generellt utformade och garantera likabehandling för alla inblandade parter. Kvinnor och män är emellertid på många samhällsområden ojämlika parter. Detta beror delvis på genusstrukturer som i vissa sammanhang lyfterFormal equality implies a guarantee for equal treatment and involves legislation that cannot be discriminatory against a certain group. This means that legislative rules have to be general and guarantee equal treatment for all involved parties. Women and men are not equal parties in all areas of society, however. This is partly due to gender structures that in certain situations view male qualitie

Popular science summary: Cancer is genetic disease arising due to mutations in our genome. Gene fusions are one type of mutation that has a strong impact on tumor development. They are often characteristic for specific tumor types and can therefore be used a diagnostic tool. The identification of new gene fusions have, in the recent years, been highly successful using a newly developed technique

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om juristers moraliska uppfattning skiljer sig från gemene mans moraliska uppfattning. Den teoretiska bakgrunden om moral utgick från Haidts “Moral Foundations theory”, i enlighet med denna teori utgick studien från att det finns fem olika moraliska principer som utgör den moraliska kompassen. Centralt för studiens teoretiska bakgrund om beslutsfattande och inlThe purpose of the study was to explore whether or not there are any differences between attorneys and the average citizen's moral notions. The theoretical background mainly focused on Haidt’s Moral foundations theory, in accordance with this theory the study adhered to the five moral foundations that constitute the moral compass. A main part of the theoretical background was also the theory o

Bakgrund: Coronapandemin har medfört restriktioner där bland annat besöksförbud infördes från 30 mars till 1 oktober 2020 på äldreboenden i Sverige. Författarna undersöker hur besöksförbudet har påverkat hur chefer arbetar med socialt utanförskap och för att främja social inkludering under denna tidsperiod. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur chefer på äldreboenden i Sverige har arbetat för att förhBackground: The corona pandemic in Sweden has led to a legislative restriction preventing visitation in nursing homes from March the 30th to October the 1st 2020. This means none was allowed to visit the elderly indoors to prevent outbreaks. Aim: The aim is to describe how managers in nursing homes in Sweden have worked to prevent social isolation for the elderly during the corona pandemic. Metho

Det finns ingen offentligrättsligt reglerad möjlighet att tvångsadoptera ett familjehemsplacerat barn i Sverige. Den mest ingripande åtgärden som offentliga myndigheter och organ kan vidta inom ramen för lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga är en vårdnadsöverflyttning från barnets biologiska föräldrar till familjehemsföräldrarna. I fråga om tvångsvård av barn är den civilrättslThere is no legal possibility to forcibly adopt a child who has been placed in a foster home in accordance with public law in Sweden. The most intru-sive measure that public authorities can take within the framework of The Care of Young Persons Act is a transfer of legal custody from the child's biological parents to the foster parents. The civil law regulation in the Pa-rental Code is intende

The Lepidoptera fauna of the Danish island of Anholt is surveyed, and 1160 species are recorded. Anholt is situated in Kattegat 44 km from Denmark and 47 km from Sweden. The history and environment of the island are briefly discussed, with special focus on the flora, and earlier studies of the Lepidopterera fauna of Anholt are dealt with. The present study is in first hand based on material collec

The Chinese economy has been growing with a pace and duration that the world has never seen before. Since 1978, the country has been facing a constant economic growth for more than 30 years. One of the pillars of the economy is the automotive industry; an interesting mixture of Joint Ventures and independent companies. The competition is cut throat and has even been more intense after the China’s

En stor andel av alla brottslingar som kommer i kontakt med den svenska kriminalvården lider av något slags missbruk. Kriminaliteten har ofta ett samband med missbruket och personen kan exempelvis ha begått brottet under någon slags påverkan eller i syfte att anskaffa sig droger. Såväl samhället som den dömde har ett stort intresse av att behandla ett eventuellt missbruk inom ramen för ett fängelsA large percentage of all the criminals who come in contact with the Swedish correctional system suffer from some kind of substance abuse.

A 27-47-GHz differential cascode power amplifier for millimeter-wave 5G new radio applications is presented. The PA is a three-stage design using inductively coupled impedance transformers with 31-dB nominal power gain. A device periphery ratio of 1:2:6 is adopted for predriver, driver, and final stage, respectively. A gain equalization technique was used in the interstage transformers to obtain t
