We characterised patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with poor prognosis based on differences in immune infiltration. Different expressions of the tumour cell markers Cyclin D1 and sex-determining region Y-box transcription factor 11 (SOX11), and the immune markers cluster of differentiation 3 (CD3), CD4, CD8, CD25, forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3), T-box transcription factor TBX21 (T-bet), pr
A method for reaching longitudinal dispersion coefficient accounting sinuosity effects is suggested. The proposed method was verified using 43 sets of measured field data from previous study were collected from 30 streams and these data were chosen depends on characteristics availability (flow parameters, fluid properties and Sinuosity). Statistical programs namely MINITAB and SPSS were used to de
During development primary afferents grow into and establish neuronal connections in the spinal cord, conveying information of the anatomical and mechanical properties of the body. This body representation forms the basis for how we perceive sensory information and control our movements. Subsequently, the strength of the sensory input to spinal sensorimotor circuits is functionally adjusted by an

Forskning inom internkommunikation betonas ofta som viktig i strävan mot förståelse av lärande i organisationer. Genom kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder undersöker jag i denna studie hur den interna kommunikationen kan stödja processer för lärande i en organisation. Resultatet från studien visar att då en organisation växer skapas behov av att utveckla processerna för att dela kunskap mellan gr
This master thesis aims to gain an understanding about how managers and members in an organization perceive observed employee silence (intentional withholding ideas at work) and attribute meanings to it. In addition, it aims to reveal, in what situations observers are not able to identify the intentional silence. Organizational culture, sensemaking and power relations and U-turn in criticism are t
In today's conflicts women are especially exposed. The UNSC-resolution 1325 recognises this and also that women’s participation in the process of establishing a stable peace, is crucial. Despite an increasing awareness of the resolution and its importance, the implementation is lagging behind and women are continually under-represented. Thus this thesis aims at analysing the implementation of
Den globala klimatförändingen är vår tids största utmaning och det största miljömässiga, sociala och ekonomiska hotet världen över. Genom att använda husdjursgödsel för produktion av förnyelsebar energi i form av biogas kan utsläppen av västhusgaser minskas, samtidigt som lokala resurser utnyttjas på ett hållbart sätt. Norge har som nationellt mål att 30 % av husdjurgödseln ska användas till produClimate change because of increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is widely recognized and is our times biggest environmental, social and economical threat worldwide. Converting livestock manure into a renewable energy resource such as biogas contributes to lowering greenhouse gases emissions and takes advantage of local energy resources in a sustainable way. Norway has a national goal to pro
This paper presents the elaboration of an experimentally validated model of a continuous cross-flow atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor with temporally separated precursor pulsing encoded in the Modelica language. For the experimental validation of the model, in situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) diagnostics was used to yield submonolayer resolution of mass deposition resulting from thin fil
Background: Since the burden of care for elderly patients with heart failure (HF) can be decreased by therapeutic measures, it is important that such patients are identified correctly. This study explores the prevalence of HF in nursing homes in Sweden, with special consideration of the risk of failure to diagnose HF in the study population. A second aim is to explore medication and the adherence
In Białowieża primeval forest (BPF) wolves Canis lupus supress red deer Cervus elaphus foraging via behaviourally-mediated, non-consumptive effects. Humans provide an additional risk factor differentially exhibited between areas devoid of human intervention and areas with high human hunting and foresting activity. The aim of the study was to test the behavioural responses of red deer to risk effec
This study examines whether the new EU enlargement strategy has brought expected results and led to the changes that go beyond adoption of formal rules and institutions in Montenegro. It establishes whether improvement in the sphere of judicial independence occurred since the introduction of the new EU approach to enlargement, in the next most likely candidate, by analysing the impact of each comp
Water management tackles complexities within the interconnected social, political, economic and ecological systems across scales, while aiming to meet the needs of multiple stakeholders dependent on water. Many tensions and unsolved issues persist in water management regarding socio-political power structures, spatial scale, and relations between stakeholders who have different perceptions on prob
The purpose of this study was to explore the social effects of an absent parent during childhood and later in life. An absent parent is here understood as a parent who exists in life but who for some reason is not present in the child's life. Six adults were interviewed; three women and three men. The method used was qualitative. In all cases, the absent parent had been the father. The analysi
The aim of this study was to identify what possibilities three lecturers, called Change Agents, have to implement the concepts from the training programme “Child Rights, Classroom and School Management” at Makerere University. We have analysed how the three factors leadership, organisational structure and organisational culture have affected their space of action in the implementation process. Th
Digital 3D city models are used in many GIS applications, such as urban planning. Manual digitization of 3D buildings is rather tedious, hence automated approaches are much preferred. In this study, a pipeline for automated extraction and estimation of building roof facets from LIDAR data are devised based on available methods and ideas, which is part of the entire frame work of automatic creating
Preventing creaming or sedimentation by the addition of thickeners is an important industrial challenge. We study the effect of the addition of a "free" nonadsorbing polymer (xanthan gum) on the stability against creaming of sterically stabilized O/W emulsions. Therefore, we analyze our samples using microscopy and rheological measurements. At low xanthan concentrations, the emulsions cream. Howev
Wild bees are declining in intensively farmed regions worldwide, threatening pollination services to flowering crops and wild plants. To halt bee declines, it is essential that conservation actions are based on a mechanistic understanding of how bee species utilize landscapes. We aimed at teasing apart how foraging resources in the landscape through the nesting season affected nesting and reproduc
