The deficiency or abnormal function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) causes von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most frequent inherited bleeding disorder. The laboratory diagnosis of VWD can be difficult as the disease is heterogeneous and an array of assays is required to describe the phenotype. Basic classification of quantitative (type 1 and 3) and qualitative (type 2) VWD variants requires determi
The aim of this study was to compare the conventional combination of three-dimensional dosimeter (nPAG gel) and readout method (MRI) with other combinations of three-dimensional dosimeters (nPAG gel/Presage (TM)) and readout methods (optical CT scanners). In the first experiment, the dose readout of a gel irradiated with a four field-box technique was performed with both an Octopus IQ scanner and
Here we present a new eastern Baltic Chironomidae training set (TS) containing 35 sites that was collected and merged with neighbouring published Finnish (82 lakes) and northern part of the Polish (nine lakes) TSs. Chironomidae, non-biting midges, are known to be strongly responsive to the July air temperature and are widely used to infer palaeotemperature. Several modern analogue-based TSs necess
Radiation protection is of importance for the general public, patients and personnel in many different situations: rare accidents involving ionizing radiation, medical examinations or work tasks in the medical clinic or nuclear industry to name a few. Optimization in radiation protection and limitation of radiation doses are essential to prevent overexposure and for reducing negative health conseq
Despite available vaccines, rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis remains to be an alarming cause of under-five mortality, especially in developing countries. Research on RV has been limited by the lack of faithful in vitro models that mimic virus-host interaction and RV pathogenesis in the intestine. Most recently, adult stem cell-derived organoids have advanced the understanding of the cellular mechani
With the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal, offshore wind energy is especially an important sector of Europe’s renewable energy strategy. This thesis aims to clarify the intricate legal and regulatory structures governing offshore wind projects, with a particular focus on the permitting process in Denmark and Sweden, and to what extent it is aligned with the Renewable Energy Directiv
Technical assistance to public sector organisations is a much-debated topic and showcases a considerable size in contemporary international development assistance. Yet, the empirical evidence base on which factors contribute to the outcomes of projects within this field is surprisingly slim and diffuse. Particularly, the mechanisms through which different factors affect project outcomes remains un
Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl
Ungdomsbrottslighet har konsekvent varit föremål för diskussion. Frågan om hur samhället ska reagera mot ungdomsbrottslighet är en återkommande fråga. I förevarande uppsats följer en historisk utveckling av vilka straffrättsliga frihetsberövande påföljder som funnits för barn. Med hjälp av den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen beträffande synen på ungdomsbrottslighet ger uppsatsen ett perspektiv på vYouth crime has consistently been the subject of debate. The question of how society should react to juvenile offences is an ongoing debate. This paper follows the historical development of the criminal law sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for children. With the help of the development of criminal policy regarding the view of juvenile offences, the paper provides a perspective on wh
Rainforests are of great importance for biodiversity and several ecosystem services. In Rwanda, a considerable decline in rainforest covers have been observed during the last decades. The Gishwati-Mukura Forest is one of the rainforests in Rwanda that has experienced a substantial reduction in forest cover, 99.4 %. The aim of this research has been to investigate what the changes in forest cover o
The direct involvement of S100 calcium-binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A9 (S100A9) in numerous human diseases have been discovered more than 20 years ago, and they have ever since emerged as a very potent biomarker. Increased levels of S100A8 and S100A9 have been found in inflammation and various cancers. As complexes, they become crucial danger signals and act as endogenous activators of TLR4 (T
Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a
With the shift towards renewable energy, the need for effective energy management grows. Renewable sources introduce variability and unpredictability, leading to volatile energy prices that expose consumers to fluctuations. To mitigate costs, energy storage and forecast models for electricity and thermal energy can be used to make optimal decisions on when to purchase energy from the grid. This th
Background: Nocturnal hypoxemia commonly affects people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Research Question: What are the current practices for assessment of sleep and nocturnal hypoxemia in PF, and what are the research priorities and outcome measures of importance for nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT)? Study Design and Methods: People with PF and health care professionals (HCPs) with expertise in PF, s
Childlessness is an increasingly visible phenomenon. Once predominantly associated with high-income settings, it now spans diverse cultural, economic, and political contexts, including the Global South. Among recent demographic shifts, childlessness has emerged as one of the most ideologically charged and widely debated topics in public discourse, particularly through media narratives. Although me
This study examines how Canadian news media discourse constructed and contested medical assistance in dying (MAiD) eligibility for people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition between 2020 and 2025. Drawing on boundary theory, framing theory, Wimmer’s (2008) taxonomy of boundary-making strategies, and Brante and Hallberg’s (1991) concept of incommensurability, this study app
Information till patienter och besökare Är dina händer rena? Rena händer minskar risken för infektioner Alla har bakterier på händerna. När du är sjuk eller genomgår en behandling, är du känslig för infektioner. Ett bra sätt att minska risken för att få en infektion är att hålla händerna rena.
