In this study, cancer patients' characteristics associated with death in nursing homes were explored. The study sample included 395 cancer patients who had participated in a trial of palliative care, 260 ( 66%) patients died in hospital, 80 (20%) at home and 55 (14%) in nursing homes. Health-related quality of life was prospectively recorded using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Death in nursing
Based on spectra from F and G dwarf stars, we present elementalabundance trends in the Galactic thin and thick disks in the metallicityregime -0.8< [Fe/H < +0.4. Our findings can besummarized as follows. 1) Both the thin and the thick disks show smoothand distinct abundance trends that, at sub-solar metallicities, areclearly separated. 2) For the alpha -elements the thick disk showssignatures of c
We have analyzed the M-bcr breakpoint position in 133 Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia patients and correlated the findings with clinical, hematologic, and cytogenetic data. We also investigated the splicing pattern of the BCR-ABL mRNA in 30 patients, using reverse transcriptase PCR. No statistically significant differences were found between breakpoint position within M-bcr and clin
A method for determination of the accessible volume fraction in gels as function of the molecular weight of the solutes is presented. The pore-size distribution is determined by measuring the rate of diffusion of a mixture of solutes into a gel using gel filtration for separation. The solutes, of various sizes, are detected by refractive index measurements. Two marker molecules (blue dextran and g
Problem Discussion: Nissan Diesel became a part of the Volvo Group in the end of March, 2007. A year has passed and the integration process is making progress but it is perceived to lack some momentum. Our sponsor would like to understand if there are any potential barriers to the integration process. (Haspeslagh, et al., 1991) and (Pablo, 1994) presents two different sets of determinants that can
Den här studien har utförts för att undersöka om lastbilar av typen högkapacitetsfordon, HCT-fordon, dvs. längre och tyngre fordon, kan svänga i befintliga korsningar. Idag, finns det tre typer av HCT-fordon, vilka är Duo-kärra, ETT-ekipage och Duo-trailer. Dessa nya fordonstyper har tagits fram för att kunna bemöta transportökningen. Problemet är att dessa fordon är längre än dem fordon som enligThis study has been conducted to investigate whether trucks of the High Capacity Transport vehicle type, HCT-vehicle, ie. longer and heavier vehicles can turn in existing intersections. Today, there are three types of HCT-vehicles, which are double centre-axle trailer combination (Duo-kärra), ETT-ekipage and Duo-trailer. These new vehicle types have been developed to meet the transport increase. T
Aims: The objectives of this study are to describe our technique in meningomyelocele (MMC) repair, analyzing the results and complications, as well as to study the effect of delay in operation on the complication rate. Patients and Methods: Between March 1997 and October 2012, 48 patients with MMC were treated at Jordan University Hospital by a combined neurosurgical and plastic surgical team. Pat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bedömning av höger sida av hjärtat är viktig hos patienter med hjärtsjukdom; i synnerhet hos patienter med förhöjt tryck i lungkretsloppet. Sänkt högerkammarfunktion och förhöjt tryck i höger förmak har visats vara prognostiskt dåligt. Två-dimensionellt ultraljud av hjärtat (ekokardiografi) är den vanligaste metoden för att bedöma hjärtats funktion, men högerkammaren ärAssessment of the right side of the heart is important in patients with heart disease; especially in patient with elevated pressure in the lung circulation. Decreased right ventricular function and elevated pressure in the right atrium are of poor prognostic value. Two-dimensional echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart) is the most commonly used method to assess the hearts function, but the rig
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes mellitus är en samling sjukdomar som karaktäriseras av förhöjt blodsocker. Traditionellt har man delat upp sjukdomen i två former; typ 1 och typ 2 diabetes. Vid typ 1 diabetes förstörs de insulinproducerande β-cellerna i bukspottskörteln av kroppens immunförsvar och sjukdomen debuterar ofta tidigt i livet. Typ 2 diabetes, tidigare ofta benämnd ”åldersdiabetes” Inadequate insulin secretion is a central component in the development of Diabetes Mellitus, resulting from reduced pancreatic β-cell mass, as well as diminished β-cell function. Islet produced 5-hydroxy tryptamine (5-HT) is suggested to regulate insulin secretion and β-cell mass in rodents during pregnancy and in metabolically challenged states. However, the role of 5-HT in control of insulin rel
Ice in atmospheric clouds undergoes complex physical processes, interacting especially with radiation, which leads to serious impacts on global climate. After their primary production, atmospheric ice crystals multiply extensively by secondary processes. Here, it is shown that a mostly overlooked process of mechanical breakup of ice particles by ice-ice collisions contributes to such observed mult
After the fall of the Iron Curtain the European Union was challenged partly by an institutionalized organization of the union, as well as by a socio-psychology awareness concerning the meaning of the European Union. The increase in European integration has generated a political collaboration where national understandings in identities are constantly being exposed for reconstruction. This results i
Due diligence is a quite old concept. Already in the end of the 19th century, it was discussed in matters concerning neutrality. Since then, the concept of due diligence has extended to other areas of law. The fields of international law under examination in this thesis are international environmental law, the protection of the marine environment, diplomatic law, the treatment of aliens and the se
Epilepsy comprises a family of neurological disorders characterized by recurrent seizures, which can be highly debilitating. Up to 30% of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, the most common form of the disorder in adults, arising in the hippocampus, cannot be effectively treated by current pharmaceuticals. Novel treatment strategies are highly needed, as well as increased understanding of the hi
Genom Europakonventionen och regeringsformen tillförsäkras den enskilde ett flertal rättigheter. Varje medborgare åtnjuter bland annat skydd till frihet och personlig säkerhet samt till privat och familjeliv, sitt hem och sin korrespondens. Dessa friheter får begränsas genom lag under förutsättning att begränsningen tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Att utreda brotThe Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) and the Swedish constitution guarantee everyone a number of civil rights. Every citizen has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. These rights may be limited by law, presumed that these limitations have a righteous purpose in a democratic society. Investigating crimes

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka ångests påverkan på uppmärksamhet. Deltagare med högt skattad ångest förväntades skilja sig åt från deltagare med lågt skattad ångest gällande deras uppmärksamhet. Deltagare förväntades skapa ett implicit minne för kombinationen av ansikten som presenterades för dem i experimentet. Ett modifierat dote probe test användes för att undersöka vad försöksperThe purpose of this study was to examine attentional biases in anxiety. Participants with high self-rated anxiety were predicted to differ in their attention compared to participants with low self-rated anxiety. Participants were predicted to have an implicit memory for the combination of faces that were used in the study. A modified dot probe task was used to examine high and low social and/or tr
