The study aims to determine if genetic polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). HLA-G is important for immunological tolerance, and it is also known to have angiogenic effects. Polymorphisms in the 5'-upstream regulatory region (URR) and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of HLA-G have been associated with a number of diseases,
Background: High-sensitivity assays for cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) are sometimes used to rapidly rule out acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Purpose: To estimate the ability of a single hs-cTnT concentration below the limit of detection (<0.005 µg/L) and a nonischemic electrocardiogram (ECG) to rule out AMI in adults presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain.Data Sources: EMBASE
This work investigates the black hole (BH) population of globular clusters (GCs) in Milky Way- and Andromeda-like galaxies. We combine the population synthesis code MASinGa and the MOCCA-Survey Database I to infer the properties of GCs harbouring a stellar-mass BH subsystem (BHS), an intermediate-mass BH (IMBH), or neither of those. We find that the typical number of GCs with a BHS, an IMBH,
Background: HIPEC has been proposed as an addition in the treatment of ovarian cancer. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the evidence and use of HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery as up-front therapy for inpatients with primary ovarian cancer. Methods: We performed a search on PubMed and Web of Science. Additional studies were identified by cross-referencing past reviews and published stud
Brott och psykisk störning har länge varit föremål för diskussioner på grund av de svårigheter en psykisk störning kan medföra i rättstillämpningen. Sedan tillräknelighetsrekvisitet avskaffades i samband med brottsbalkens införande år 1965 har särbehandlingen av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare förflyttats från ansvarsdelen till påföljdsdelen. Uppsatsens fokus ligger på den svenska rättstillämpnin
For many years, indigeneity has been conceptualized as rural, making Indigenous communities and people in cities invisible globally. For the Sámi people, Europe’s only indigenous people, security is mainly understood as physical-centering extraction and environmental degradation. Focusing on the urban Sámi community in Umeå in Sweden, cultural and political belonging in the city arises as vital in
I denna uppsats behandlas det migrationsrättsliga frihetsberövandet förvarstagande och vilken rättslig domän detta kan anses tillhöra. För att svara på vilken rättslig domän förvarstagande tillhör har jag studerat förvaltningsrättsliga och straffprocessuella frihetsberövanden och de syften som motiverar dessa. Således behandlas tre olika former av frihetsberövanden, förvarstagande enligt utlänningThis thesis examines what legal body detention within migration law is considered belonging to. In order to find this out, I have studied detention within the bodies of administrative- and criminal law, along with the reasons that motivates the different types of detention within these. Three types are examined; migration detention according to the Aliens Act, detention as compulsory care accordin
The Burkini, a swimwear that covers the entire body except but the face, hands and feet, was banned from French beaches in 2016 and created a heated debate in French and international media. This study focuses on the politics of the Burkini, where politicians’ arguments against the Burkini are divided into three major themes: (1) the Burkini as oppressive, (2) the Burkini as a threat to the social
Under de senaste åren har antalet vårdnadstvister som avgjorts i domstol ökat markant i Sverige. Samtidigt har Sverige blivit ett mer mångkulturellt samhälle med en ökad arbetskraftsinvandring och kontinuerliga flykting- strömmar. I dagsläget har fler familjer än någonsin anknytning till utlandet vilket förstärker vissa problem inom familjerätten. Flera barn blir varje år olovligen bortförda ifrånIn recent years, the number of custody disputes settled in court has increased significantly in Sweden. This as a consequence of that Sweden has become a more multicultural society with increased labor migration and continuous refugee flows. Currently, more families than ever have links with foreign countries, which reinforces certain problems within family law. Several children are unlawfully abd
I denna uppsats undersöks den svenska djurskyddslagstiftningen och huruvida den medför ett tillräckligt starkt juridiskt skydd för djuren samt om och i vilken omfattning djurens skyddsvärde får stå tillbaka för andra intressen. De centrala författningarna är djurskyddslagen och djurplågeribestämmelsen i 16 kap 13§ BrB. I uppsatsen behandlas även material från ett flertal djurrättsorganisationer. FThis thesis aims to investigate the Swedish animal protection law and whether not it constitutes a strong enough legal protection for the animals. Also, if and how much the animals’ worth of protection is pushed back to favour other interests. The central pieces of legislation are the Animal Welfare Act and the regulation of animal abuse in the 16th chapter of the Swedish Penal code. The thesis al
Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att utreda på vilket sätt en kvinnas otrohet kan innebära strafflindring för en man som utövat våld mot kvinnan och om det finns anledning att kritisera den nuvarande möjligheten att med framgång åberopa otrohet som en förmildrande omständighet. Den kritiska analysen har delvis gjorts utifrån ett genusperspektiv. För det första kan det konstateras att en kvinnlig parThe purpose of this thesis has been to investigate in what ways infidelity by a woman can work as a mitigating factor for a man who has committed violence against the woman and if there are reasons to criticize this existing possibility to claim infidelity as a mitigating circumstance. A gender perspective has been applied when conducting parts of the critical analysis. It can be established that
Bör det utökade strandskyddet behållas i Hässleholms kommun? Miljön omkring sjöar och vattendrag har många viktiga funktioner. Den hyser en stor biologisk mångfald, den förser oss med ekosystemtjänster och den kan rena det vatten som slutligen når ut i havet. Dessutom lämpar den sig väl för friluftslivsaktiviteter som bad, fiske och promenader. I Sverige har vi sedan lång tid tillbaka haft ett sAbstract Lakes and streams constitute important habitats for many organisms. These environments are also valuable for recreation and health for human beings. The aim of the shoreline protection legislation is to protect shores from settlements so that natural and recreational values are conserved. Areas with high values may have an extended shoreline protection of a maximum of 300 meters. The pur
The aim of this study is to, with depth in the coping theory presented by Lazarus and Folkman, analyse two different self biographies written by people brought up in families with an alcoholic mother. Namely “Vi har inga hemligheter i den här familjen” by Therése Eriksson and “Glöm mig” by Alex Schulman. The focus is to investigate which coping resources the authors used to deal with their life si
Bullying is a daily recurring event in Swedish workplaces. Previous research show that the leader of the workplace is often pointed out as one of the most common reasons for workplace bullying, and that leaders often lack knowledge on what expressions bullying might take, and also how to prevent it. Previous research is mainly based on statements from employees, which is why this study aims to inv
Bovine milk contains several enzymes which can affect the quality of milk. One of these enzymes are lipases which hydrolyse the triacylglycerides in milk. In this process off-flavours, odour and product defects are generated. By controlling the enzymes activity, milk quality can be increased and therefore milk and dairy products can be stored for a longer time. This is desirable since the world de
Clock nets are the major source of power consumption in large, high-performance ASICs and a design bottleneck when it comes to tolerable clock skew. A way to obviate the global clock net is to partition the design into large synchronous blocks each having its own clock. Data with other blocks is exchanged asynchronously using handshake signals. Adopting such a strategy requires a methodology that
Numerical analysis, such as the finite element method is the most used computational procedure for nonlinear deformation and strength analysis of structures. In order to obtain meaningful results the material behaviour must be described and simulated accurately. Another important element in order to perform the simulation is a robust and accurate numerical integration algorithm. The present paper
Denna studie har utforskat kvällspress (Expressen och Aftonbladet) och myndigheters (Folkhälsomyndigheten och Regeringen) strategiska kommunikation under coronapandemins inledande fas i Sverige och analyserat detta dels baserat på kriskommunikationsteori, dels dagordningsteori med gestaltningsteori och teorin om den retoriska arenan. För att kunna genomföra en Retorisk Arena-analys på materialet iThis study has explored the strategic communication of The Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Swedish Government compared to tabloid press of Sweden (Expressen, Aftonbladet) during the initial phase of the coronapandemic in Sweden and analyzed it based on crisis communications theory, partly agenda-setting-theory including framing theory and the theory of the Rhetorical Arena. In order to comp
The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges for self-employed artists who use social media for their business. The research is focused on painters and illustrators who have digitalised and commercialised their own artwork. The method follows a qualitative research framework with a comparative design of multiple cases on the level of individual artists. Seven artists fr
