Osteoporos är en sjukdom som ökar med stigande ålder och framför allt drabbar kvinnor. Sjukdomen leder till ökad risk för fraktur (benbrott) och antalet osteoporosrelaterade frakturer har ökat markant under senaste halvan av 1900-tThis thesis considers the effect of physical activity on bone mass in weight-loaded and unloaded regions of the skeleton. Bone mass was measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) and by Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS). In a cross-sectional study 67 male soccer-players, on different levels of the Swedish national league, were compared with 24 male controls. No differences were demonstrated between s

I Den [o] hållbara förpackningen analyseras svenska konsumentförpackningar från 1930-talet fram till idag. Boken består av tre delar där läsaren först får lära känna mjölkförpackningarna, som är livsmedelsbranschens kanske vanligaste men samtidigt mest krävande förpackning. Därefter behandlas läkemedelsförpackningarna, en kategori som alltid har kännetecknats av ett högt säkerhetstänkande. Slutlig

The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems. While the natural sciences have advanced their understanding of the drivers and processes of global change considerably over the last two decades, the social sciences lag behind in addressing the fundamental challenge of governance and politics in the Anthro

Chronic inflammation may be involved in combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and may help explain comorbid physical diseases. However, the extent to which combat exposure per se, depression, or early life trauma, all of which are associated with combat PTSD, may confound the relationship between PTSD and inflammation is unclear.

A critical cell cycle regulatory protein, cyclin A1, has been implicated in the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we have examined the expression and clinical significance of cyclin A1 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Cyclin A1 was highly expressed in lymphoblastic leukemic cell lines and in 22 of 30 ALL patients (73%). Cyclin A1 expression correlated with patient

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av hudcancer ökar i ljushyade befolkningsgrupper och hudcancer tillhör de cancergrupper som ökar mest i Sverige. De tre vanligaste formerna av hudcancer är basalcellscancer, skivepitelcancer och malignt melanom.

Syria, as well as many other countries in the Middle East, faces serious water shortage problems. Available water per capita (AWPC) will dramatically decrease due to climate change, population increase, and water needed for economic growth. Rainwater harvesting can play an important role in increasing available water in Syria. However, the absence of rainwater sewer systems in many rural areas in

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients treated with targeted temperature mana

The chapter monitors the different pillars of old age pension schemes and discusses coherence and coordination between primarily the public schemes and the occupational pension schemes with the example of the reformed Swedish model and takes into account both labour and tax related consequences. While the public pension scheme in Sweden was subject to significant reforms already 20 years ago, manyThis chapter monitors the different pillars of old-age pension schemes and discusses coherence and coordination, primarily between public schemes and occupational pension schemes, with the example of the reformed Swedish model.

This report presents a literature review about energy-efficient retrofit of electric lighting and daylighting systems in buildings. The review, which covers around 160 research articles, discusses the following energy retrofit strategies: replacement of lamp, ballast or luminaire; use of task-ambient lighting design; improvement in maintenance; reduction of maintained illuminance levels; improveme

I svensk rätt men även av Europadomstolen har det ansetts möjligt att tillmäta en tilltalads tystnad eller icke trovärdiga förklaring en för denne negativ bevis-verkan genom åläggandet av en förklaringsbörda. Uppsatsens syfte är att un-dersöka om denna förklaringsbörda i ljuset av bevisrättsliga principer samt rättspsykologisk forskning är lämplig att använda i brottmål. För att uppfylla syftet koIn Swedish law as well as by the European Court of Human Rights it has been considered possible to draw adverse inferences from a defendant’s si-lence or non-credible explanation by imposing a burden of explanation (förklaringsbörda).

Popular Abstract in English An increased risk of pre-cancer lesions of the cervix among HIV-infected women, and the positive impact of HIV treatment on its outcome has been reported globally. However there is paucity of information from west Africa with genetically distinct viral strains. Considering that HIV strains differ in the rate and pattern of HIV disease progression, a different outcome isBackground: The highest numbers of HIV-infected women are in sub- Saharan Africa, where the natural progression of HIV disease in the absence of treatment results in death before the onset of invasive cervical cancer. With improved access to treatment, several studies outside West Africa demonstrated an increased risk of pre-invasive cervical lesions among HIV-infected women and the positive impac

Due to an increase in unverified information that reaches people, data literacy, i.e. the understanding of how to interact with, and interpret information, becomes increasingly important for informed citizenship and responsible decision-making in a democratic society. Central to data literacy is the ability to draw conclusions based on existing data, as well as to interpret and evaluate numerical

This article examines two closely related questions. The first concerns the limits of an arbitral tribunal’s authority to interpret the parties’ procedural acts, particular-ly pleadings of facts. It is argued that a fact may be treated as pleaded only where the party’s intended procedural effect has been expressed clearly and unequivocal-ly. Where uncertainty remains, the tribunal should ordinaril

Universities are powerful drivers to create and advance knowledge on sustainable development. Furthermore, they can be used as a controlled environment to apply innovative technologies and approaches. This process also embraces industry and government, in the triple helix innovation model, as in the University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil—one of the best Latin American universities (3rd)—and imme
