Background: Chromosomal translocations t(11;22) (q24;q12) are characteristic of about 80-90% of Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors [bone and soft tissue Ewing's sarcoma and peripheral neuroectodermal tumors (PNET)]. They generate ews/fli1 rearrangements showing great diversity in breakpoint exon combination. In about 5% of Ewing's tumors, ews is fused to the erg gene at 21q22. The various chimeric p

An experiment was conducted to follow the fate of the cyanobacterial toxin, nodularin, produced by Nodularia spumigena through ingestion by Mytilus edulis and re-ingestion of faecal material (coprophagy). Mussels were fed with cultures of N. spumigena, and the faeces that were produced were fed to other mussels not previously exposed to N. spumigena. Concentrations of nodularin were measured in th

Mercury is a hazardous environmental pollutant mobilized from natural sources, and anthropogenically contaminated and disturbed areas. Current methods to assess mobility and environmental impact are mainly based on field measurements, soil monitoring, and kinetic modelling. In order to understand in detail the extent to which different mineral sources can give rise to mercury release it is necessa

This thesis addresses the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) and the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) with regard to the practice of female genital cutting (FGC) in Sierra Leone. The study is partly based upon a field study carried out in Sierra Leone and on further research in Sweden. There are no rare or isolated incidents, FGC

In her widely cited and criticised Gender trouble, Judith Butler (1990) elaborated the thought that gender needs to be understood as performative – a certain kind of doing behind the bars of a hegemonic heterosexual imperative that governs intelligible bodily configurations. Drawing mainly on psychoanalytical and foucauldian arguments, Butler dwells upon numerous important questions concerning pow

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how organizations should be designed in order to work in the best possible way in China. Method: A theoretical background has been studied. The background covered mainly cultural studies, where a comparison between Sweden and China was made, and also design parameters for an organization. An empirical study took place in Shanghai, China, where m

Certain organic micropollutants and emerging contaminants are increasingly detected in wastewater effluents due to enhancement of detection techniques and new technological processes or household items being introduced. Some of them can accumulate in food chains and/or pose health risks for humans, wildlife and ecosystems. Often, these are very difficult or impossible to sufficiently remove using

This Master’s thesis studies the effect of infrasound acoustic waves on heat transfer enhancement for industrial purposes. Previous research has demonstrated the cap ability of infrasound to cool steel uniformly, with performance comparable to forced convection. This opens the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the cooling process while also enabling new potential cooling methods for diff

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

Ska hyvling ses som omreglering av anställningsvillkoren eller som en omplacering enligt anställningsskyddslagen? Detta kan beskrivas som en process i två steg där omreglering och omplacering egentligen inte bör jämföras då de har olika rättsliga utgångar. Det är främst en avtalsrättslig fråga men som är av stor betydelse i ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv där det finns en komplexitet i hur omreglerPlaning the employment can partly be seen as re-regulation of the employment terms or as a relocation according to the Employment Protection Act. It is primarily a contractual issue but which is of great importance in a labor law perspective where there is a complexity in how the re-regulation should actually be handled where legal cases and doctrine may provide guidance. The redeployment in the E

Lignin, a structurally intricate and heterogeneous phenolic biopolymer, holds considerable promise as a sustainable alternative to petrochemical-derived materials across diverse applications in the energy and materials sectors. However, precise lignin molecular weight and structure determination remains challenging due to its intrinsic tendency to aggregate in solution and the absence of chem

Modern emergency management is a demanding profession characterized by accelerated decision- making, dynamic information needs, and complex collaboration to execute mission objectives. Decision support systems in this setting must be suitably optimized in turn, with clear requirements to inform such design. To date, comprehensive approaches to capture these requirements remain underdeveloped, per

Described as a “paradigm shift” event (Michelson, 2020), the Covid-19 pandemic is challenging all humans activities worldwide. Such disruptive event can be labelled as a crisis, which is described as an episode of uncertainty threatening high priority goals (Sellnow & Seeger, 2013). Despite this critical situation, 206 different relevant elections has been held globally since February 2020 (ID

Advancing digitisation affects all areas of life, including activism and political participation. While the internet has long been seen as a way of democratising society and its systems, in recent years more and more critical voices opposing this view have been raised. One of the main criticisms is that the low-threshold opportunities for participation offered by digital media lead to slacktivist

Kroniska hjärtsviktspatienters egenvård och reglering av diuretika dosering – Koncept och arkitektur av ett beslutsstödsystem Hjärtsviktspatienter har behov av nya lösningar för att underlätta deras egenvård och att bibehålla sin hälsa. I arbetet har därmed ett beslutsstöd utvecklats för att stödja patienten att bedöma sitt tillstånd och reglera ett av sina läkemedel. Brödtexten Hjärtsvikt är eFluid overload is the build up of excessive fluid in the body and is a common condition amongst chronic heart failure patients. Fluid overload is treated with diuretics but the level of excessive fluid can vary. To match the fluctuations a flexible diuretics regime may be prescribed where patients are instructed to temporarily increase the dosage upon onset or worsening of fluid overload. In this

Canals have always been an important part of The Netherlands and played a big role within the urban development of the cities. As many of the canals lost their functions by the 19th century, a lot were replaced with streets infrastructure. Replacing the canals with streets has affected the overall ambience of many neighbourhoods in The Netherlands. The elimination of the water element caused many

I en allt mer globaliserad värld där den teknologiska utvecklingen fortskrider i högt tempo blir gränsöverskridande forskning och möjligheten till informationssinsamlande över nationsgränser av allt större betydelse. För allmänheten är biobanker ett relativt okänt begrepp och dess syfte likaså. Faktum är att biobanker är en grundläggande förutsättning för att forskning ska kunna bedrivas på ett In an increasingly globalized world where technological development is continuing at a rapid pace, cross-border research and the possibility of gathering information across borders becomes of increasing importance. For the general public, the term biobank and its purpose is relatively unknown. In fact, biobanks are a fundamental prerequisite for research to be successfully conducted. Biobanks are

Den här rapporten syftar till att studera möjligheten för kommuner att reglera lägenhetsstorlekar i bostadshus. Regleringen kan vara ett medel för kommuner att säkerställa sina intressen utifrån det kommunala bostadsförsörjningsansvaret. Ansvaret innebär att kommuner är skyldiga att planera bostadsförsörjningen i kommunen i syfte att skapa förutsättningar för bostäder till kommuninvånarna. SyftetThis thesis examines the possibilities for municipalities to control the sizes of apartments in residential buildings. Municipalities may want to regulate apartment sizes in order to secure their interests according to their responsibility to provide good prerequisites for dwellings. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which possible methods that are available and whether it is appropriate
