By some considered the most progressive of any government in some areas, Sweden’s policy for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) recognizes the centrality of SRHR to the a

The analysis shows that underpricing exists on the European market during 1999-2010 and that PE backed firms usually experience a lower underpricing than non-PE backed companies. Maturity, earnings management and company size are variables explaining underpricing for PE firms. For non-PE backed IPOs, earnings management is the only statistically significant variable explaining the underpricing. In
TRIM28 is a corepressor that mediates transcriptional silencing by establishing local heterochromatin. Here, we show that deletion of TRIM28 in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) results in high-level expression of two groups of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): IAP1 and MMERVK10C. We find that NPCs use TRIM28-mediated histone modifications to dynamically regulate transcription and silencing of ERVs, wh
Patients with diabetes mellitus have more extensive coronary artery disease, more disease progression, and restenosis. The use of drug-eluting stents (DES) in these patients is widespread, despite uncertain long-term safety and efficacy. All consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus in Sweden who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were entered into the Swedish Coronary Angiography and
Fair Trade is a growing international movement with the aim to empower disadvantaged producers and workers in the developing world and to promote sustainable development. With an understanding of the increased economic globalization as unfair, Fair Trade seeks to make the relationships in the international trade more equitable. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the impacts from Fair Trade u
In the field of second language acquisition (SLA) it is an important question, which role the native language assumes in the acquisition of another language. Studies have shown that there exists a native language influence on a phonological and lexical level. The situation in syntax is however different. Here a native language influence (transfer) is not self-evident.
The analysis shows that underpricing exists on the European market during 1999-2010 and that PE backed firms usually experience a lower underpricing than non-PE backed companies.

The experience drawn from the wars in the early modern era in Europe suggest that interstate wars lead to centralization of power and resources. These wars are also strongly associated with state building and were a crucial component in the formation of the modern state. Though another dynamic can be perceived in contemporary warfare. The wars we see today differ in actors, motives, methods of war

The essay focuses on the developments of the Central and Eastern European countries and focuses on Croatia and Czechia as the analyzed cases. In answering this question, the various theories of Euro
To investigate differences and similarities in person-environment (P-E) fit problems between very old people with self-reported Parkinson's disease (PD) and matched controls.
Background: Mental health problems are prevalent among adolescents with severe obesity, but long-term mental health outcomes after adolescent bariatric surgery are not well known. We aimed to assess mental health outcomes over 5 years of follow-up after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery in adolescents who participated in the Adolescent Morbid Obesity Surgery (AMOS) study. Methods: This was a non-ra
Aim: The primary aim was to compare the 30-day morbidity and mortality in patients aged ≥80 years undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer with those aged <80 years. The secondary aim was to identify independent outcome predictors. Method: This was a retrospective study of patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer between January 2007 and February 2018. Patients were divided into those <80
Purpose: This study examines how voice quality and multitalker babble noise affect immediate passage comprehension and the efficiency of information encoding into long-term memory in children with normal hearing. Method: Eighteen children (mean age = 9 years) with normal hearing participated. Immediate passage comprehension performance and delayed performance (after 5 to 8 days) were assessed for
BACKGROUND: Currently, only a limited number of molecular biomarkers for malignant melanoma exist. This is the case for both diagnosing the disease, staging, and efficiently measuring the response to therapy by tracing the progression of disease development and drug impact. There is a great need to identify novel landmarks of disease progression and alterations.METHODS: Matrix-assisted laser desor
