Avian malaria parasites are prevalent all around the world and infect a wide diversity of bird species. In this report the prevalence of Plasmodium lineages in Spanish house sparrows was studied. According to previous research, higher variation of Plasmodium lineages could be expected in southern climates. This was tested by using samples collected from Spain and performing nested PCR with primers
This project will analyze the current situation for fiber routing. It will research how well planned excavations on the roads and their restorations are today. The project will also study how often road reinforcements and fiber routing are applied simultaneously and how experts perceive the situation. The project is carried out in the municipality of Svalöv who are currently building a fiber netwo
En sammanvägning av regelverken avseende upphandling och beskattning som en icke-filippinsk leverantör har att beakta vittnar om en stark vilja att främja den inhemska filippinska produktionen och materielförsörjningen. Verkligheten ser dock annorlunda ut. Den filippinska marknaden klarar inte av att tillgodose landets försvarsmakts materielbehov och politiska beslut har öppnat upp marknaden för uA comprehensive study of the legislation concerning procurement and taxa-tion regarding a non-Philippine supplier indicates a strong desire to promote the national Philippine defence production and supply of defence materiel. The reality, on the other hand, is somehow different. The Philippine market does not have the strength to meet the demands of the armed forces and political decisions have be
Syfte: Syftet med denna kvalitativa dokumentstudie är att beskriva samt bidra med en ökad förståelse kring hur kvinnan framställs i reklamfilmer producerade av varumärken med ett feministiskt ställningstagande. Metod: Studien utgörs av en kvalitativ dokumentstudie av tre skilda reklamfilmer. Ett urval av relevanta filmer har analyserats utifrån tre teman som återfanns i samtliga reklamer. Teore

Sexwork is a complex phenomenon. There are different forms of legislation surrounding the issue, ranging from complete decriminalization/legalization to complete criminalization. In this thesis, the cases of Sweden and the Netherlands are compared. Utilizing critical phenomenology and an intersectionality framework, interviews with sexworkers in Sweden and the Netherlands were conducted and analyz
This thesis’ main goals were to provide accurate forecasts and informative physical parameter estimates for energy use of the district heating in the Tingbjerg neighborhood, Copenhagen. Our work is aimed as a contribution for future work towards efficient on-demand energy production. We applied Dynamic Double Machine Learning to estimate the causal effects of weather observations on energy use. Th
Background: Asphalt workers are exposed to polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from hot mix asphalt via both inhalation and dermal absorption. The use of crumb rubber modified (CRM) asphalt may result in higher exposure to PAHs and more adverse effects. Our aim is to assess occupational exposure to PAHs from conventional and CRM asphalt paving by measuring PAH metabolites in urine, and to investigate
I ett Europa där gränskontroller intensifieras och deportationer ökar ställer denna avhandling frågor om möjligheter till motstånd och aktivism genom teater. Den tar sin utgångspunkt i en deltagande etnografisk undersökning av No Border Musical. No Border Musical skapades och sattes upp i Malmö under 2011–2013. Initiativet togs av personer kopplade till den lokala flyktingrättsrörelsen. Ungefär häIn a context of deportability and bordering practices, this thesis asks questions regarding possibilities and limitations of resistance through community theatre. It sets out from a participatory ethnographic exploration of the working process and performance of the No Border Musical. The No Border Musical was created in 2011–2013 in the city of Malmö in southern Sweden. It was initiated by people
We present results from an inter-laboratory massively parallel sequencing (MPS) study in the framework of the SeqForSTRs project to evaluate forensically relevant parameters, such as performance, concordance, and sensitivity, using a standardized sequencing library including reference material, mixtures, and ancient DNA samples. The standardized library was prepared using the ForenSeq DNA Signatur
Background The Meta-Analysis of Radiotherapy in squamous cell Carcinomas of Head and neck (MARCH) showed that altered fractionation radiotherapy is associated with improved overall and progression-free survival compared with conventional radiotherapy, with hyperfractionated radiotherapy showing the greatest benefit. This update aims to confirm and explain the superiority of hyperfractionated radio
BACKGROUND: Painters are among the occupational groups that most commonly experience occupational contact dermatitis, but few investigations exist concerning this occupation.OBJECTIVES: To characterize painters with contact dermatitis and identify the most common allergens associated with the occupation. Materials and methods. All patch test results of 219 painters and 1095 matched controls regist
In the scientific domain of high energy physics (HEP), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) was created in order to handle the huge compute and storage needs of the experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Today WLCG combines about 1.4 million computer cores and 1.5 exabytes of storage from over 170 sites in 42 countries. What ties the sites together is the middleware installed at each site,
Importance: Plasma neurofilament light (NfL) has been suggested as a noninvasive biomarker to monitor neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease (AD), but studies are lacking. Objective: To examine whether longitudinal plasma NfL levels are associated with other hallmarks of AD. Design, Setting, and Participants: This North American cohort study used data from 1583 individuals in the multicenter Alzhe
The non-coding genome, constituting 98% of human DNA, remains largely unexplored, yet holds potential for identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this study, we conducted a systematic analysis of recurrent somatic non-coding single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in pediatric B-cell precursor (BCP) ALL. We leveraged whole genome sequencing (WGS) data
The main purpose of this Master´s thesis, is to describe and discuss what constitutes the library collaboration between The Swedish Royal Library and the National Library of Guatemala, but also to analyse which effects the support has for public library work in Guatemala. The data consists of interviews and direct-observations during 2 months of fieldwork in Guatemala, Central America. The analysi
Abstract Since the late 1970’s, China has rapidly increased its exports of industrial products and inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) through the use of special economic areas (SEA), which offer special benefits to foreign investors and export producers. Common criticism against these SEAs, usually states that these areas show persistent low-standard working conditions and wages to remain c
Corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement is the prime influencing factor that deteriorates the structural performance and reduces the serviceability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially during earthquakes. In structural elements, RC columns play a vital role in transferring the superstructure's load to the substructure. The deterioration of RC columns can affect the structures' over
BackgroundThe literature on the relationship between anxiety and suicidal behaviors is limited and findings are mixed. This study sought to determine whether physicians noted anxiety symptoms and suicidality in their patients in the weeks and months before suicide.MethodsData were derived from a nationwide medical record review of confirmed suicides in Sweden in 2015. Individuals with at least one
