Introduction Meeting the greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments, spelled out by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992, is a major challenge for most countries, including Sweden. (IEA 1997 p.12) The Framework Convention states that emissions of greenhouse gases shall be stabilised at a level that prevents dange

Gensax löser gåta om cellandning Gensaxen CRISPR-Cas9 är ett användbart redskap för att studera proteiner och deras funktioner. Den tillåter modifikationer att göras på specifika positioner på DNA som kan resultera i olika varianter av proteiner. Dessa varianter kan studeras och slutsatser kan dras om deras funktioner. Här utvärderas en CRISPR-Cas9-baserad metod, samt används för att studera samm
Den här uppsatsen undersöker Europadomstolens praxis gällande utvisningar av personer som har begått brott, som hävdar att deras utvisning strider mot Artikel 8 av Europakonventionen. Uppsatsen undersöker hur domstolen har använt sig av den nationella beslutsprocessens kvalitet som ett argument för att komma fram till sin slutsats i sådana fall. Uppsatsen utgår från premissen att utvisningar som bThis thesis examines the practice of the European Court of Human Rights to decide expulsion cases implicating migrants with criminal record under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights by use of process-based review. It departs from the premise that such expulsions do not violate absolute rights but constitute interferences with a qualified right, which allows for infringements neces
Analys av hjältinnan utifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. En jämförelse mellan Jane Austens hjältinna Elizabeth Bennet i Pride and Prejudice och Suzanne Collins hjältinna Katniss Everdeen i The Hunger Games.Analysis of the heroine from a feminist perspective. A comparison between Jane Austen's heroine Eliabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and Suzanne Collins' heroine Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and there are currently limited treatment options for these patients. The disease is characterized by a reduction in airflow due to chronic bronchitis, as well as airspace enlargement in the distal lung, resulting in a loss of surface area available for gas exchange. At end-stage disease, oxygen therapy an
The somatotype is a useful method in the analysis of body morphology but no study has identified genetic variants associated with its components. The aim of this study is o replicate the association of 21 SNPs with obesity and to explore their association with the somatotype components, in a sample from the Basque Country (Spain). A case-control study was performed in 472 adults from 18 to 79 year
Objectives Nocturnal hypoxia in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a potential risk factor for cancer. We aimed to investigate the association between OSA measures and cancer prevalence in a large national patient cohort. Design Cross-sectional study. Settings 44 sleep centres in Sweden. Participants 62 811 patients from the Swedish registry for positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment in OSA, link
BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic respiratory failure treated with long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) often have severe breathlessness, impaired exercise performance, and high but variable mortality that is difficult to predict. We aimed to evaluate breathlessness and exercise performance upon starting LTOT as predictors of overall and short-term mortality.METHODS: This was a longitudinal, population
Breathlessness is a centrally processed symptom, as evidenced by activation of distinct brain regions such as the insular cortex and amygdala, during the anticipation and/or perception of breathlessness. Inhaled L-menthol or blowing cool air to the face/nose, both selective trigeminal nerve (TGN) stimulants, relieve breathlessness without concurrent improvements in physiological outcomes (e.g., br
Background Exertional breathlessness is commonly assessed using incremental exercise testing (IET), but reference equations for breathlessness responses are lacking. We aimed to develop reference equations for breathlessness intensity during IET. Methods A retrospective, consecutive cohort study of adults undergoing IET was carried out in Sweden. Exclusion criteria included cardiac or respiratory
Objectives: In India, cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women and makes up for up to 29% of all registered cancer in females. Cancer-related pain is one of the major distressing symptoms for all cancer patients. Pain is characterised as somatic or neuropathic, and the total pain experience is often mixed. Conventional opioids are the backbone of analgesic treatment but are most often
Segmentation of grey matter in magnetic resonance images of the spinal cord is an important step in assessing disease state in neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis. However, manual delineation of spinal cord tissue is time-consuming and susceptible to variability introduced by the rater. We present a novel segmentation method for spinal cord tissue that uses fully convolutional encode
This work explores the use of reinforcement learning to design a proactive cloud resource auto-scaler that is able to predict usage across a distributed microservice application. The focus is on serving time-sensitive workloads, e.g., industrial automation, connected XR/VR (eXtended Reality/Virtual Reality), etc., where each job has a deadline and there is some cost associated with missing a deadl
