Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis but the genes that determine susceptibility to poor bone health are defined incompletely. Previous work has shown that a polymorphism that affects an Spl binding site in the COLIA1 gene is associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of osteoporotic fracture in several populations. Data from cros
Thisthesis revisits and explores the relationship between verse and meaning bymeans of the notion of iconicity, i.e.,as signs primarily based on similarity. The aim of the thesis is to show howverse and its interaction with words and sentences create meaning and can be anintegrated part in the interpretation or understanding of the poem as a whole.Verse is discussed in relation to four other liter
Parkinsons sjukdom (PD) är den näst vanligast förekommande åldersrelaterade neurodegenerativa sjukdomen efter Alzheimers. De främsta symptomen på PD är typiska rörelsesvårigheter, vilka beror på förlust av dopamin i hjärnregionen striatum. Ett annat viktigt särdrag är ansamlingar av proteinet alpha-synuclein i många nervceller inom flera hjärnområden. Den effektivaste behandlingen mot Parkinson-syParkinson´s disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a loss of nigral dopamine (DA) neurons that project their axons to the striatum. Striatal DA depletion causes the typical motor symptoms of PD. Another key feature of PD are intracellular protein inclusions containing alpha-synuclein within affected brain regions. L-DOPA is the most effective treatment for the s
BACKGROUND: An adequate amount of prepaid resources for health is important to ensure access to health services and for the pursuit of universal health coverage. Previous studies on global health financing have described the relationship between economic development and health financing. In this study, we further explore global health financing trends and examine how the sources of funds used, typ
Vi lever i en tid av snabb vetenskaplig och teknologisk utveckling. För 100 år sedan hade ingen kunnat drömma om de saker som helt har förändrat vår var- dag och hur vi uppfattar omvärlden; datorer, mobiltelefoner, Internet, rymdfart, våra upptäckter om universums barndom och avlägsna galaxer samt vår insyn i kvantfenomenens mikroskopiska värld. Idag står vi på tröskeln till en era formad av nanotWe live in a time of rapid scientific and technological advancement. People liv- ing 100 years ago could never dream of inventions like those having completely changed our way of life, and our perception of the world; computers, mobile phones, the Internet, space travel, unraveling the mysteries of the early universe and distant galaxies, and our insight into the microscopic world of quantum phe-
Industrialismens frammarsch och utvecklingen mot vidgad näringsfrihet gav arbetsgivare en stark position på arbetsmarknaden. 1898 gick arbetstagarsidan ihop och bildade Landorganisationen, LO. Svenska Arbetsgivarföreningen, SAF, bildades kort därefter som motvikt till LO, och därmed skapades större balans mellan arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Det första kollektivavtalet mellan parterna, decemberkoIndustrialism's advancement and the development towards a wider freedom of trade gave employers a strong position in the labor market. In 1898 worker organizations joined forces and formed The Swedish Trade Union Confederation (LO). Shortly after this the employer organizations answered by forming The Employers Federation (SAF). Thereby a stable balance was created between the employer and wor
Sammanfattning Principen ne bis in idem är en grundläggande rättsstatsprincip som innebär ett förbud mot att straffas två gånger för samma brott. Principen kommer till uttryck i så väl intern svensk rätt som i internationella instrument som Sverige har anslutit sig till. Under de senaste åren har det förts en livlig diskussion kring det svenska systemet med skattebrott och skattetillägg och dess Summary The principle ne bis in idem is a fundamental right that protects individuals from being punished or tried twice for the same offence. The principle is expressed in both Swedish internal law and in several international instruments Sweden has chosen to join. Throughout the last couple of years there has been an intense discussion whether the Swedish system with punishment for tax offence
Köp av sexuell tjänst har i Sverige varit förbjudet sedan 1999. Införandet av förbudet var en del i arbetet mot mäns våld mot kvinnor. Lagen har därefter genomgått en rad ändringar, senast en straffskärpning 2022. I december 2022 publicerade Norges regering en offentlig utredning där ett förslag på avkriminalisering av sexköp presenterades. I Norge inspirerades man 2009 av den svenska modellen ochThe crime of purchase of sexual services has been criminalized in Sweden since 1999. The introduction of the ban was part of the work against men's violence against women. The law has subsequently undergone a series of changes, most recently a toughening of the penalty in August 2022. In December 2022, the Norwegian government published a public inquiry in which a proposal for the decriminaliz
Årligen avgörs tusentals tvister om vårdnad, boende och umgänge i Sveriges domstolar. Många tvister är konfliktfyllda och emellanåt förekommer uppgifter om att den ena föräldern, utan godtagbara skäl, motverkar eller omöjliggör umgänge mellan barnet och den andra föräldern. Detta agerande benämns vanligen för umgängessabotage. År 2021 trädde en ny ändring av 6 kap. 5 § FB i kraft som ämnade att stAnnually, thousands of disputes relating to custody, residence and access are settled in the courts of Sweden. Many disputes involve a high level of conflict between the parents and occasionally there are allegations that one parent, without acceptable reasons, limits or prevents contact between the child and the other parent. This behavior is commonly referred to as access sabotage. In 2021 a new
Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal, hereditary disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein huntingtin. Although mutant huntingtin is ubiquitously expressed throughout the body, HD research has mainly focused on the role of the basal ganglia. Dysfunction of these brain nuclei likely underlies motor disturbances in HD, including the conspicuous, uncontrollable, dance-like moveme

Inventory management at IKEA is characterized by an ad
Background and aimImproving the quality of health care is a global priority, yet many conventional quality improvement approaches, rooted in industrial models of standardisation and control, struggle to account for the uncertainty and complexity of clinical care. Trauma, defined as external injury and the body's physiological response, causes about 4.4 million deaths each year. The impact is great
Direct Fastening tools are popular for quick fastenings in concrete and steel by propelling the nail with gun powder, gas or electricity. Because of this the users hand needs to absorb a shock caused by the recoil when a setting is performed. The link between the recoil and its effect on the user is essentially unexplored. This makes it hard to design an optimum handle for a direct fastening tool
Med 2024 officiellt uppmätt som det varmaste året hitills är klimatförändringarna och behovet av att minska utsläppen är mer aktuella än någonsin. Sveriges viktigaste uppgift i denna utmaning är att effektivt elektrifiera sina två största källor till koldioxidutsläpp: industrin och transportsektorn. Dessa två sektorer står tillsammans för hela 65 % av landets utsläpp. Elektrifieringen förväntas leThere is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions in Sweden, primarily caused by industry and the transport sector, which together accounted for nearly 65% of the country's total CO2 emissions in 2023. A key solution to this challenge is the rapid and effective implementation of green electrification, which involves transitioning industry and transportation to electricity and electricity-based f
Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater
Planetary embryos grow by the accretion of solid dust-material, ranging from cm- to m-sized pebbles up to km-sized planetesimals. However, the underlying size-distribution of the accreted material is poorly understood. When the pebbles and planetesimals encounter a protoplanet, they are subjected to the gaseous environment of the protoplanetary envelope. Because of the drag-force from the gas, the
Products made from pulp are a part of everyday life. With end products like coffee filters, food packaging and tissue paper. These products are the result of wood being processed in pulp mills to produce the pulp from which the forementioned paper products are produced. The modern pulp and paper industry is energy intense and on a global perspective a large emitter of greenhouse gasses, accounting
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique that utilizes the random thermal motion of water molecules to probe the microstructure of the tissue. Because it has excellent soft tissue contrast and high sensitivity to changes in the microstructure, it has established itself as a powerful tool to detect and quantify both normal development and pathological processes. Diffusion encoding
