Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjock- och ändtarm drabbar årligen drygt 5000 svenskar. En rad faktorer har satts i samband med tumöruppkomst i tarmen, bl a ärftlighet, inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom, kost och motion, men det är till stor del okänt hur dessa faktorer orsakar cancerutveckling. Genetiska förändringar styr tumörutvecklingen Tumörerna utvecklas oftast från ett godartat förstadium, Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. Treatment advances such as the introduction of the standardized surgical technique total mesorectal excision (TME), pre-operative radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy have reduced the previously high local recurrence rates and improv

Widespread presence of toxic and persistent pollutants in the environment, even at low concentrations, causes risks of adverse effects to human health and the ecosystem. Biological methods for treatment of water streams and removal of persistent pollutants are of great interest due to their simplicity, low cost, and mild operational conditions without harmful by-products. The purpose of this resea

BACKGROUND The nature and underlying mechanisms of an inverse association between adult height and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) are unclear. METHODS We used a genetic approach to investigate the association between height and CAD, using 180 height-associated genetic variants. We tested the association between a change in genetically determined height of 1 SD (6.5 cm) with the risk of

A new approach in isothermal heat conduction microcalorimetric studies of chemical and biological processes is explored. The general (non-specific) method of calorimetry is combined with more specific analytical methods of analysis to "multi-functional microcalorimetric process monitors". A microcalorimeter with specific analytical sensors placed in the reaction vessel for studies of processes in

Various Helicobacter species have been isolated from the stomach, intestinal tract and liver of a variety of mammalian and some avian species, and Helicobacter DNA has been detected in human bile and liver samples. An immunoblot assay was established to analyse serum antibody responses to non-gastric Helicobacter species in patients with autoimmune liver diseases, in comparison with healthy indivi

Produktionen av kemikalier på Perstorp AB genererar kontaminerat avloppsvatten som renas i industriparkens egna avloppsreningsverk innan de kan återanvändas till processen igen. Industriparken i Perstorp har villkor från avloppsreningsverket på hur mycket vatten som fabrikerna får släppa ut till avloppsreningsverket. Det finns fortfarande kapacitet kvar innan villkoret uppnås, men marginalerna serThe production of chemicals at Perstorp AB generates contaminated wastewater that is treated in the industrial park’s own sewage treatment plant before it can be reused in the process again. The industrial park has conditions from the sewage treatment plant on how much water the factories may discharge. There is capacity left before the condition is reached, but the margins look to decrease in the

This thesis is about the copyright protection for single dance moves. The purpose of this thesis is to come to a conclusion as to whether single dance moves could be protected by copyright in Europe and if it should be protected. These questions originate from the United State lawsuits against the gaming company Epic Games and their use and sales of allegedly copyright protected dances. The firs

Den svenska rättsstaten står inför allvarliga prövningar. Det grova våldet till följd av skjutvapen har ökat markant i Sverige, och risken för tredje man att drabbad av skjutningar och detonationer på offentlig plats har ökat. Samtidigt som våldet även blivit mer hänsynslöst och likgiltigt. Antalet brott inom denna kategori ökar, men uppklaringsandelen är låg. En förklaring till den dystra statistThe Swedish rule of law is facing serious challenges. The use of firearms resulting in severe injury has increased significantly in Sweden, and the risk of third parties being affected by shootings and detonations in public places has increased. At the same time, the violence has become more ruthless and indifferent. While this type of violence is increasing, law enforcement agencies are at a loss

This thesis presents a number of results and algorithms for the numerical solution of problems in geometric computer vision. In geometric computer vision one tries to extract geometric information about the world and the observer from a sequence of images. Estimation of scene structure and camera motion using only image data has been one of the central themes of research in photogrammetry, geodesy

The aim of the present work is to describe the semantics and the discursive functions from a general cognitivist point of view of the usage of the Present Perfect in the spoken Spanish of Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay. It is argued that cross-linguistic values that prevailing theories often ascribe to perfect, such as continuity, current relevance and recency to the speech time –ST– do not offer a c

Expansive cements are utilised in special applications to improve properties such as cracking caused by drying shrinkage. Several types of expansive cements exist and the main hydration product responsible for the expansion is ettringite, [Ca₃Al(OH)₆]₂(SO₄)₃·26H ₂O. The importance of the cement phase containing alumina is well known

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kan nattaktiva insekter se i mörker med fel sorts ögon? Majoriteten av alla dagaktiva insekter har en sorts facettöga som kallas appositionsöga. Appositionsögon är anpassade till ett liv med god tillgång på ljus ? nattaktiva djur har därför i princip alltid andra sorters ögon (superpositionsögon). Anledningen till att appositionsögon fungerar bäst på dagen är att dDue to our own preference for bright light, we tend to forget that many insects are active in very dim light. The reasons for nocturnal activity are most easily seen in tropical areas of the world, where animals face severe competition for food and nocturnal insects are able to forage in a climate of reduced competition and predation. Generally nocturnal insects possess superposition compound eye

Riskkapitalmarknaden kan härledas så långt tillbaka som till 1940-talet då de första private equity-investeringarna genomfördes i USA, och sedan dess har branschens utsträckning ständigt förändrats i takt med det rådande ekonomiska klimatet, både hög- och lågkonjunkturer, och är idag ett starkt etablerat fenomen även i Sverige. Private equity är den investeringsform som inom samlingsbegreppet risThe risk capital market can be traced as far back as the 1940s when the first private equity investment was made in the United States, and since then, the industry has constantly changed along with the current economic climate, and is today a strongly established phenomenon even in Sweden. The term private equity covers all investments that are made in unlisted companies and they typically involv

The PEGylation process is a covalent attachment between a protein (the pharmaceutical) and poly ethylene glycol (PEG) and since the beginning in 1977 PEGylation processes have been used to improve pharmaceuticals. PEGylation of a pharmaceutical achieves improved properties like greater solubility in water, longer residence time in vivo and extended shelf life. The PEGylation process is in general

Föreställ er att vi i Sverige skulle legalisera det egna bruket av narkotika. Det skulle bli lagligt att snorta kokain, att skjuta upp heroin eller att röka marijuana. Vad skulle detta innebära för svensk Polis, sett ur ett tvångsmedelsperspektiv? Toleransen i Sverige gentemot droger är väldigt låg. Narkotikafrågan har under en längre tid varit, och är fortfarande, högprioriterad hos regering ochImagine that we, in Sweden, would legalise the personal use of drugs. It would be legal to snort cocaine, to shoot up some heroine or smoke marijuana. What would this mean for the Swedish law enforcement, from a "means of enforcement" point of view? The Swedish tolerance when it comes to drugs is very low. It has for a long time been, and still remains, a top priority for the governmen

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) lowers the risk for all-cause mortality in babies, including those with low birth weight. However, rates of neonatal mortality and delayed initiation of breastfeeding remain high in most low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the trends and factors associated with EIBF in Namibia from 2000 to 2013. Methods: An analysis of E
