ABSTRACT Soft tissue tumor-associated gene fusions are currently being used as diagnostic genetic markers and seem promising as potential prognostic markers. In the present study, a new fusion gene was discovered in one case of a specific subtype of soft tissue sarcoma displaying a t(6;16) translocation. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), the FUS gene in 16p11 was shown to be rearra
I höst kommer rymdobservatoriet Gaia att sändas upp. Ett av dess mål är att mätapositionen av stjärnor med väldigt hög noggrannhet, denna positionsbestämning kallas astrometri. Gaias noggrannhet är såpass bra att det kommer bli möjligt att även mäta hur planeter när de färdas i sina banor runt stjärnor påverkar positionen av stjärnan. Astrometri kan inte ge en fullständig bild av hur planeten rörContext: The Gaia satellite will be provide astrometry with micro-arcsecond accuracy. This will allow for the determination of the orbital elements of exoplanets with measurable astrometric signature. Astrometry alone is not be able to disentangle an ambiguity in the orientation of planetary orbits, just as radial velocity is only able to give the mass of orbiting planets combined with multiplicat

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term increasingly used in academic discussions, political debates, media, corporate reports, Non-Governmental Organizations’ (NGOs) reports, and even by civil society and the public. But what does CSR actually mean? What do CSR practices actually constitute? Another increasingly debated issue is the growing power of the business sector and its direct effe
Background: Increasing demands of renewal and change on individuals and organisations require continuous learning and innovation in order to gain competitive advantages. This requires strategic planning. To do this, precise conceptions of what is to be planned are needed. In colloquial language, innovation and learning have come to be somewhat vague concepts, which warrants clarification as to the
This project started out as a test, and a request, an invitation to participate in a highly singular architectural project. Located in the western harbour of Malmö, the OHBOY! bike hotel belongs to an ambitious and ground-breaking approach at redefining the way we design cities and map- out our priorities, emphasizing mobility and making an active effort at minimizing our impact on the city’s tra

Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are exotic stellar objects that appear to be younger than the age of the population they come from suggests. They are observed as the extension of the main sequence stars, beyond the turn-off point. They are present in all types of stellar populations, such as open clusters, globular clusters, dwarf galaxies, and even in the open field. It is believed that they form mai
I Sörmlands sydöstra kustlandskap, på Tunabergshalvön, ligger den lilla bruksorten Buskhyttan. Orten har goda geografiska förutsättningar att utvecklas som en aktiv landsbygdsort, där man kan leva ett liv närmare naturen men ändå ha nära till arbete och stad. Den uppkom i och med etableringen av ett sågverk år 1917, men sedan slutet av 1970-talet har verksamheten varit nedlagd och sågområdet lämnaIn the southeastern coastal landscape of Södermanland, on the Tunaberg Peninsula, lies a small mill town called Buskhyttan. It is strategically placed within its community and has the potential of being a well connected and active rural area where you can live a life closer to nature.

Personer som innehar statlig anställning är på ett sätt som vilka arbetstagare som helst. PÅ ett annat sätt så är dem representanter för staten och deras ageranden påverkar allmänhetens uppfattning och tilltro till staten och dess myndigheter. Därför har man under perioder särskilt denna arbetstagargrupp från övriga arbetstagare då det har gällt striktare regler vid fel begångna i sin tjänsteutövnPeople who hold government employments are in a way like any other workers. In another way, they are representatives of the state and their actions affect the public's perception and trust in the state and its authorities. Therefore, during periods, this group of workers in particular has been separated from other workers and stricter rules have applied in the event of errors committed in the
