BACKGROUND: Radioiodine (131I) has been used in thyroid cancer treatments for many years, and has demonstrated good results with regards to disease management. Radioiodine therapy is however partially empirical, as not very much is known concerning radiation dosimetry. At Skåne University Hospital, the number of treatments has been growing steadily over the past couple of years, resulting in an in
Frågan om anonyma vittnen har länge varit föremål för debatt i den juridiska världen. Är det en rättssäker åtgärd att införa ett system med anonyma vittnen? Hur skulle ett sådant system, om det infördes, överensstämma med de rättssäkerhetsgarantier som tillstår den tilltalade i rättsprocessen? Tidigare forskning kring anonyma vittnen har fokuserat på rättssäkerheten och försökt nå en slutsats krinThe issue on anonymous witnesses has in Sweden been frequently discus-sed in the legal debate over the years. Is it according to the rule of law to impose such a system? How does a system of anonymous witnesses con-form with the principles of the rule of law given to the accused during a hearing? Past research has centered the discussion around the rule of law and the effects an imposition of a sy
With the wind farms moving further from shore, new challenges arise. Technicians must visit the turbines almost daily because of the constant need for maintenance. But when the transport time from shore to the wind farm turns into hours is some kind of permanent accommodation required at the farm for the technicians to live on. Apart fromaccommodation the deep water is a big challenge. This paper
Inom Europa har vi nyligen bevittnat två folkomröstningar om regional självständighet i två separata regioner, Skottland och Katalonien. Dessa två regioners självständighetssträvanden hanterades emellertid på helt olika sätt, såväl under som efter folkomröstningarna. Med utgångspunkt från dessa två olika skeenden behandlar uppsatsen folkrättens regler och teorier kring på området för att undersökaIn Europe, we have recently witnessed two referendums on regional independence in two separate regions, Scotland and Catalonia. The independence endeavors of these two regions were handled in very different ways, both during and after the referendums. Based on these two different events, this essay deals with the rules of international law and theories on the subject to investigate whether the nat
Introduction and aim: From a sustainable supply chain standpoint, concern for workers' safety on the job is essential. Driving safety is vital since accidents in the trucking industry often result in the deaths of both truck drivers and other road users. We found a potential correlation between nicotine usage and driving safety risk in the literature. Sleep quality also appears to play a medi
I Sverige avlider över tusen personer varje år till följd av en fallskada och cirka 70 000 personer skadas såpass allvarligt att de behöver vård. Fallolyckor kostar Sverige 11.1 miljarder kronor per år och är en av de största utmaningarna för sjukvården och äldreomsorgen idag. Då risken att råka ut för en fallskada ökar med ålder samt att en stor del av befolkningen i Sverige beräknas nå pensionsåMore than a thousand people die each year in Sweden due to fall injuries and approximately 70,000 people injures themselves so seriously that they need care. Falling accidents cost Sweden 11.1 billion SEK a year and is one of the biggest challenges for healthcare and elderly care today. Since the risk of fall injuries increase with age and a large part of the population in Sweden is expected to re
Non-bee pollinators (NBP) are a group of species with very diverse ecology. Indeed, they inhabitvarious habitats, using these as nesting sites, for shelter, as source of food and as huntingground for prey. Depending on the life stage of species, NBPs can inhabit different areas andtheir overall contribution to pollination can be diverse. For example, adult butterflies mainlyforage on nectar, where
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang, då vårt Universum skapades, bildades i princip endast de två lättaste grundämnena, väte och helium. Alla andra grundämnen har skapats, och skapas fortfarande, i olika typer av stjärnor under olika utvecklingsfaser. Detta betyder att precis alla atomer, förutom väte och helium, som bygger upp alla saker, växter, djur och människor i vår omgivning, har bildatsDisregarding the small primordial traces of the lightest elements, all metals have been formed in stellar processes, which means that the relative amount of metals in the Universe increases for every stellar generation. This build-up of elements is called chemical evolution and might be used both to constrain stellar models as well as understanding the formation and evolution of stellar population
This dissertation is about the antagonistic conceptions of men’s violence against women – rape, incest and physical assault – as has been expressed by different actors in Sweden from 1975 – 2000. Mainly, my interest lies in how and why these conceptions have been articulated. During the studied period the attention to men’s violence against women as a question of gender, has grown remarkably. For
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid Typ 1 diabetes mellitus (insulinberoende, [ungdoms]) förlorar kroppen förmågan att tillverka insulin, det hormon som styr upptaget av socker i kroppens celler. Insulinet bildas av bukspottskörtelns hormonproducerande betaceller, och Typ 1 diabetes orsakas av att dessa celler skadas och förstörs. Denna skadeprocess anses idag i de flesta fall förmedlas av kroppens egAutoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), protein tyrosine-phosphatase-like protein (IAÐ2A), and/or pancreatic islet cells (ICA) are autoimmune markers usually present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is therefore in general believed to be caused by an immune-mediated beta cell destruction. In children this destruction is fast, whereas in adult patients Type 1 diab
The Zeeman interaction in low-dimensional III-V semiconductor nanostructures is studied. The effective g-value of bulk InGaAs is measured by two different spin resonance techniques. Experimental conditions were found to control the Overhauser effect, thus enabling a highly accurate determination of the g-value, g* = -4.070 ± 0.005, being a prerequisite for theoretical modeling of low-dimensional
The kinetics and mechanism for substitution reactions on tetraaquapalladium(II) by an extended series of thioethers, a great number of carboxylic acids, and olefins have been studied by use of UV-VIS, stopped-flow, and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry and NMR spectroscopy. Second-order rate constants k and activation parameters (activation enthalpies, entropies, and volumes) for format
Polymer dispersions are employed in a wide variety of applications as film formers. Especially in the coating-, paint-, pharmaceutical and hygiene industry polymer dispersions are to a large extent used as barriers, controlled-release agents and adhesives. Control and steering of the polymerization process has resulted in the production of core-shell structures with soft and hard (low glass transi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Två av de viktigaste polyaminerna påträffades redan i slutet av 1600-talet, som kristaller i tjursperma och har därför fått namnen spermin och spermidin. Dessa aminer bildas från en annan substans, putrescin, som först isolerades från ruttnande kött. Namnet putrescin kommer från engelskans putrefaction, som betyder förruttnelse. Polyaminer, som kemiskt sett är positivt The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine are essential for cell growth and differentiation. The biosynthesis of polyamines are tightly regulated by feedback mechanisms involving two enzymes, namely ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC). This thesis deals with the mechanisms behind the polyamine-mediated feedback control of these enzymes. The poly
The era when customers bought what companies produced is long gone. The situation is now reversed and companies must produce what customers want; while the customers' preferences are, furthermore, becoming increasingly diverse. This has forced companies to adopt a new mode of thinking in order to survive. The strategy, by necessity, has become to manufacture flexibly. This thesis focuses on stra

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling belyses varför och hur frågan om arbetarnas bildning blev ett led i såväl borgerlighetens som arbetarklassens formering under andra hälften av 1800-talet. Arbetet utgår från ett teoretiskt perspektiv som bl a innebär att människor aktivt skapar sin klassidentitet i sina vardagliga liv. Undersökningens tyngdpunkt ligger på jämförande analyser mellan sThis dissertation deals with the question of why and how the issue of workers' education came to be part of both bourgeois and working class formation during the second half of the 19th century and how it contributed to the shaping of new social relations. The theoretical perspective is based on the concept of hegemony indicating that a leading class has to establish and maintain its leadership by
Popular Abstract in Swedish Framväxten av affärssystem under 1990 talet är en av de mest betydelsefulla utvecklingarna inom verksamhetsstödjande informationssystem. Affärssystem karaktäriseras av omfattande branschtäckning, stor funktionalitet, generisk lösning, processorientering, integrerad lösning och centralt dataformat, som tillsammans gör affärssystem kanske till den hittills mest komplexa o
This study of maxillary sinus reconstruction in conjunction with insertion of endosseous implants included 99 patients. Two separate surgical methods were applied; a one-staged strategy (n=49) and a two-staged strategy (n=50). The aims were to compare two different strategies concerning implant and prosthetic construction survival. Differences in positioning and angulation of the inserted implants
1. The survey has mainly concentrated on the following items: the false alarm problem, the problem of the fire not being detected due to the fact that pre-fire heating and ventilation dominate flow inside the compartment, a description of detector sensitivity to fire signatures. engineering design methods for the siting of detectors. 2. The statistical as well as practical experience suggests that
