Background: The aim of this study is to estimate ovarian volume, number and volume of antral follicles, and ovarian power Doppler vascular indices as assessed by three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal grayscale and power Doppler ultrasound in women using combined oral contraceptives (COC). Study Design: Two hundred thirteen gynecologically asymptomatic women 20-39 years old using COC were examined wi

Objective: To evaluate under- and overreporting and their determinants in the EPIC :24-hour diet recall (24-HDR) measurements collected in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. 24-HDR measurements were obtained by means of a standardised computerised interview program (EPIC-SOFT). The ratio of reported energy intake (EI) to estim

Background High-dose aspirin (>= 500 mg daily) reduces long-term incidence of colorectal cancer, but adverse effects might limit its potential for long-term prevention. The long-term effectiveness of lower doses (75-300 mg daily) is unknown. We assessed the effects of aspirin on incidence and mortality due to colorectal cancer in relation to dose, duration of treatment, and site of tumour. Methods

Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna arkeologiska studie syftar till att förstå de neolitiska samhällenas framväxt, organisation och förändring kring de västskånska ådalgångarna vid Saxån-Välabäcken och Lödde å-Kävlingeån. Arkeologiska undersökningar och fornminnesinventeringen har visat att området hyser omfattande lämningar av neolitiska bebyggelsekomplex — i form av bosättningar, gravfält, megalitgThis dissertation deals with Early and Middle Neolithic societies in a valley landscape in western Scania, in the southern part of Sweden. Several archaeological excavations conducted by the National Heritage Board have revealed a great number of Neolithic remains in this region. The sites constitute a substantial continuous sequence from the earliest to the latest phase of the Funnel Beaker Cultu

The thesis concerns glycosyl transfer with use of b-glycosidases, most of them from hyperthermophilic organisms. Both optimisation of the reaction conditions and protein engineering in terms of site-directed mutagenesis were used to improve b-glycosidase-catalysed reactions. The first part of the work deals with conversion of lactose into valuable products such as galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) an

IMPORTANCE In age-related macular degeneration (AMD), rare variants in the complement system have been described, but their functional consequences remain largely unexplored.

Context. Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids, and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release 1 (DR1) as part of the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS). Aims. In order to test these first parallax measurements of the primary standard candles of the cosmological distance ladder, which involve astrom

Abstract. Frontal cortex activity in the left hemisphere during depression is reduced. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that can increase frontal cortex activity. Therapy based on tDCS and positive psychology (PP) therapy was applied improving patients’ quality of life.

Liberalisation and deregulation of public utility sectors has been introduced in several European countries. In 1994 Swedish municipalities were instructed to reorganise waste collection routines by enlarging the number of fractions to be able to reuse waste fractions in an environmental benign way. The public waste sector have to a considerable extent been diversified and deregulated. At the same

BACKGROUND: Timely assessment of the burden of HIV/AIDS is essential for policy setting and programme evaluation. In this report from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we provide national estimates of levels and trends of HIV/AIDS incidence, prevalence, coverage of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and mortality for 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015.METHODS: For countri

Godstransporter på väg står för ungefär 7 % av Sveriges totala växthusgasutsläpp och godstransportarbetet förväntas öka med drygt 65 % till år 2040, delvis till följd av ökad globalisering. Enligt IPCC:s senaste rapport är transportsektorn ett prioriterat område för att begränsa miljöpåverkan och den statliga utredningen om fossilfri fordonstrafik pekar ut minskad användning av fossila bränslen ocHeavy transport accounts for about 7 % of total Swedish greenhouse gas emissions and freight activity is expected to increase by more than 65 % in 2040, partly as a result of globalization. According to the latest report from IPCC, the transport sector is a priority to limit the environmental impact and the government report on fossil fuel independence proposes reduced use of fossil fuels and incr

Seagrasses are important components of marine ecosystem. They are a primary food source for many organisms and provide shelter and nursery areas for many more. Also they stabilize sediments and act as a natural barrier against coastal erosion. But despite their valuable rule, Seagrasses are facing large threats because of human development. The stresses caused by human activities like trawling and

Den vanligaste indirekta vinstfördelningsmetoden är den så kallade genomsnittsvärdeprincipen som används för att beräkna ersättning vid tomtbildning. I vissa fall ger genomsnittsvärdeprincipen ett oskäligt resultat och ska då, enligt 5 kap. 11 § fastighetsbildningslagen, jämkas. I litteraturen framkommer det att ersättningen bör jämkas då mark frångår eller tillförs redan bebyggd fastighet - frågaThe most common indirect profit allocation method is the principle of average value which is used to calculate the compensation in plot forming. In some cases the principle of average value gives an unreasonable compensation and should in such cases be adjusted, according to the Property Formation Act ch. 5 art. 11. The literature states that the compensation should be adjusted when land is suppli

This thesis encompasses an introductory part and five papers related to developing techniques and phantoms required for the further growth of photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In PAI, images are created by detecting acoustic waves followed by the absorption of laser light, enabling high spatial resolution while maintaining high optical contrast. Due to the distinct absorption patterns of various chromo
