Neutropenia is a life-threatening condition characterized by a severe lack of neutrophils leading to grievous opportunistic infections for the patients, such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The current treatment procedure for this condition is hospitalization and administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), which in 2012 averaged to $24,770 for adults and $26,000 chi

This thesis adds to the social debate on the relationship between society and fashion consumers. In order to explore this, the phenomenon of fashion rental is investigated to provide insights on how fashion consumers account for their behavior in order to come off as respectable. The study takes an qualitative approach by conducting eight semi-structured interviews and exploring the participants i

The construction of Passive Houses is challenging. On one hand, there is a strong pressure to reduce the investment cost and on the other hand optimal energy efficiency should be reached. Hence that it is indispensable for architects, engineers, and constructors to avoid any causes throughout the whole project, that would lead to performance gaps and costs overruns. The purpose of this degree proj

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of income inequality on economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. The study is structured as a regional study on Sub-Saharan Africa, followed by a case study of South Africa that is conducted by using the results in the regional study. The methods for estimating the impact of income inequality on economic growth consist of panel regression analysis.

Användningen av korslimmat trä (KL-trä) befinner sig i en expanderande fas. Tillämpn-ingen av KL-trä som byggnadsmaterial är relativt nytt och övergripande dimensioneringsstandarder har ännu inte utvecklats fullt ut. Ett fall där inga allmänna dimensioneringsstandarder existerar är fallet plattelement av KL-trä med hål. En dimensioneringsmetod som utgår ifrån en balkrostmodell har föreslagits för The use of cross laminated timber (CLT) is expanding, its use is relatively new and universal design standards are lacking. One situation for which no universal design standard exists is that of a CLT plate element with an opening. A grillage method has been proposed as a convenient method to design such plate elements. The grillage method consists of analyzing a beam grillage model in terms of be

I detta examensarbete har jag utforskat hur man som sångare kan tänka kring intonation. Under arbetet har jag gjort en litteraturstudie för att förstå matematiken och teorin bakom sångarens intonation. Jag har också experimenterat med de tre stämningarna (ren, pytagoreisk och tempererad) samt olika intonationsprinciper för att berika uttrycket i min sång. Uppsatsen utforskar också frågan om intonaThis project has been an exploration of perspectives regarding intonation as a singer. One part of the project is a literature study where I seek to understand the math and theory behind a singer’s intonation. The other part consists of me experimenting with the three tuning systems (five-limit, pythagorean and equally tempered) as well as different principles of intonation to enrich the expressio

The purpose of this study is to examine the difference between Swedish learners of Japanese and Japanese native speakers when they use lexical substitutions. The hypotheses made for this thesis was that second language learners would find it difficult to apply humble lexical substitutions to themselves and their social group. The other hypothesis proposed that when not knowing what form to use, th

Galectins are a family of proteins that bind β-galactosides. These proteins are involved in plethora of physiological functions, such as signalling, inflammation and immune responses. Because galectins play a key role in human physiology, they are heavily involved in disease pathways. Overexpression of different kinds of galectins has been found to be linked to diseases and syndromes, such epithel

Early childhood shocks and the long-run implications of them have been of great research and policy interest. Even though a large body of literature has analyzed medical shocks and a variety of outcomes, research on how economic shocks affects the individuals later life economy has been limited.

Materialegenskaper som hållfasthet och duktilitet har historiskt förbättrats genom att materialet modifieras homogent, men även kompositer har vuxit fram som ett vanligt verktyg inom industrin som sätt att förbättra materialegenskaper. En alternativ metod som bygger på att materialets mikrostruktur modifieras heterogent, är harmoniskt strukturerade material. Det består av två olika moder av materMaterials are constantly sought to be improved in different manners. Two of the most common characteristics to improve are strength, and ductility. Historically, materials are modified homogeneously to achieve improvement, while the past century has also seen composite materials becoming standard-issue within various industries. Just recently the concept of heterogeneously modifying material micr
