Amphiphilic graft copolymers were prepared via the radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomers with fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon acrylates in toluene with 2,2 ' -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the composition of the graft copolymers corresponded well to the monomer feed. For gel electrolytes prepared from the amphiphilic c

Recently, we and others reported a recurrent t(7;12)(q36;p13) found in myeloid malignancies in children < or =18 months of age and associated with a poor prognosis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies mapped the 12p13 breakpoint to the first intron of ETV6 and narrowed down the region of 7q36 involved. By using the sequences made public recently by the Human Genome Project, two candidate ge

A gastrostomy device is removed from the gastrostoma when no longer needed. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis of whether it is possible for the surgeon to decide which stoma has to be closed with a gastroraphy and which to leave for a spontaneous closure within a reasonable period of time. Out of a cohort of 321 patients, who had been operated with a video-assisted gastrostomy, we in

There is now considerable evidence for the involvement of K+ channels in nitric oxide (NO) induced relaxation of smooth muscles including the myometrium. In order to assess whether apamin-sensitive K+ channels play a role in NO - induced relaxation of the human uterus, we have studied the effect of specific blockers of these channels on the relaxation of myometrium from non-pregnant women. In vitr

The Eae2 locus on mouse chromosome 15 controls the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE); however, in this study we show that it also controls collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). To find the smallest disease-controlling locus/loci within Eae2, we have studied development of CIA in 676 mice from a partially advanced intercross. Eae2 congenic mice were bred with mice congenic

This research explores the interplay between strategic communication and legitimacy in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions, focusing on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) and addresses the challenge of maintaining and establishing legitimacy through strategic communication during crises. The study specifically investigates the use of strate

Prefetching is a well known concept for CPUs but for GPUs it is fairly unexplored. The memory management of a GPU plays a crucial role in its performance, and cache prefetching has the potential to lower the overall latency. This thesis compares different types of prefetching methods for GPUs and remaking some CPU prefetchers to fit the GPU architecture. All these prefetchers were then put inside

In recent decades, internal and external circumstances have increased the pressure on European states and the United States to act in response to such circumstances. The return of war on the European continent, shifting trade relations, climate change and its devasting effects on society and an aging population are all putting pressure on public finances. The aim of this study is to investigate th

Cancer är en otrevlig sjukdom, som drabbar många människor. Man söker ständigt nya och bättre sätt att bota patienter eller åtminstone lindra sjukdomens framfart. Ett vanligt sätt att behandla cancer är med strålning. Strålningen kan bestå av sk fotoner. Fotoner är samma slags partiklar som t.ex. vanligt ljus. Skillnaden är att de fotoner som används vid strålbehandling av cancer har högre energi "Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether inversely planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using the clinical radiotherapy equipment at hand in our department, renders any advantages regarding dose distribution over conventional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients in the ARTSCAN (Accelerated RadioTherapy of Squamous cell Carcinoma in the head And Nec

Research regarding remittances and development has long been plagued by a gender-neutral approach. Consideration is rarely given to why female migrants remit differently. Prior research suggests that female remitters may experience increased burdens and pressure to remit. Media effects theories dictate that the ways in which media is disseminated and consumed has societal impacts and consequences.

This thesis examines the influence of a foreign-born background on students’ educational choices in Sweden, focusing on the selection between vocational and university preparatory programmes in upper secondary education (gymnasium). Recognising that personal experiences and social contexts shape such decisions, a qualitative methodology was adopted to explore the underlying motivations and influen

: Based on the recent progress on research and development on automated vehicles, mass production of partially autonomous driving vehicles is expected to be available in the 2020s. According to the SAE standard level 3, a takeover situation may occur where the vehicle driving party changes if autonomous driving is released for unavoidable reasons resulting from vehicle or system limitations. In th

Soil microbes drive ecosystem function and play a critical role in how ecosystems respond to global change. Research surrounding soil microbial communities has rapidly increased in recent decades, and substantial data relating to phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) and potential enzyme activity have been collected and analysed. However, studies have mostly been restricted to local and regional scales

BACKGROUND: Exercise and education is recommended as first-line treatment by evidence-based, international guidelines for low back pain (LBP). Despite consensus regarding the treatment, there is a gap between guidelines and what is offered to patients. Digital LBP treatments are an emerging way of delivering first-line treatment.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes after partic

Peatlands store large amounts of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems and they are vulnerable to recent warming. The ongoing warming may change their carbon sink capacity and could reduce their potential to sequester carbon. In this study, we simulated peatland carbon dynamics in distinct future climate conditions using the peatland-vegetation model (LPJ-GUESS). The study examined whether less pronoun

Retaining glycoside hydrolases are enzymes that catalyse the breakdown down of glycans through hydrolysis. Due to the double-replacement mechanism of the retaining glycoside hydrolases (GHs), which form an intermediate with part of the glycan covalently attached to the enzyme, some GHs are able to catalyse synthesis reactions called transglycosylation. In transglycosylation reactions a hydroxyl-co

The MM500 study is an initiative to map the protein levels in malignant melanoma tumor samples, focused on in-depth histopathology coupled to proteome characterization. The protein levels and localization were determined for a broad spectrum of diverse, surgically isolated melanoma tumors originating from multiple body locations. More than 15,500 proteoforms were identified by mass spectrometry, f
