Importance: Cutaneous malignant neoplasms are the most common subsequent neoplasm after blood or marrow transplant (BMT), but a full assessment among survivors is lacking. Objective: To identify risk factors for subsequent cutaneous malignant neoplasms using the BMT Survivor Study (BMTSS). Design, Setting, and Participants: This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent transplant
The proton structure function F-2(x, Q(2)) is measured in inelastic QED Compton scattering using data collected with the H1 detector at HERA. QED Compton events are used to access the kinematic range of very low virtualities of the exchanged photon, Q(2), down to 0.5 GeV2, and Bjorken x up to similar to 0.06, a region which has not been covered previously by inclusive measurements at HERA. The res
The cross section for anti-deuteron photoproduction is measured at HERA at a mean centre-of-mass energy of W-gammap=200 GeV in the range 0.2 < p(T)/M < 0.7 and y < 0.4, where M, p(T) and y are the mass, transverse momentum and rapidity of the anti-deuteron in the HERA laboratory frame, respectively. The numbers of anti-deuterons per event are found to be similar in photoproduction to those in cent
Inclusive production cross sections are measured in deep inelastic scattering at HERA for meson states composed of a charm quark and a light antiquark or the charge conjugate. The measurements cover the kinematic region of photon virtuality 2 < Q(2) < 100 GeV2, inelasticity 0.05 < y < 0.7, D meson transverse momenta p(t)( D) greater than or equal to 2.5 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta( D)| less than o
Deep-inelastic e(+/-) p scattering at high squared momentum transfer Q(2) up to 30 000 GeV2 is used to search for eq contact interactions associated to scales far beyond the HERA centre of mass energy. The neutral current cross section measurements dsigma / dQ(2), corresponding to integrated luminosities of 16.4 pb(-1) of e(-) p data and 100.8 pb(-1) of e(+) p data, are well described by the Stand
Background The Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) aims to bring together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable comparisons of health loss over time and across causes, age-sex groups, and countries. The GBD can be used to generate summary measures such as disability-adjusted life
Sepsis causes major morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is wide consensus that biomarkers have an important role in sepsis research and patient care. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived, proinflammatory and vascular permeability-inducing protein and a promising novel sepsis biomarker. In this thesis, we investigate some aspects of the prognostic accuracy and added value of s
Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) fMesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats.

The selection pressures that drive flight feather morphology are poorly understood. Using a phylogenetic comparative approach and data from 178 species of birds, we investigated whether both position along the wing length and flight feather length affected vane structure. We found that barb density was lower on distal primaries than on proximal primaries of the leading feather vane. In contrast, o
Aims: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as three consecutive miscarriages, is a multifaceted problem whose resolution needs a broad approach. In this thesis, epidemiology, immunology, treatment and obstetrical outcomes areexplored. The aims are as follows: To establish the incidence of the diagnosis of RPL in the National Patient Register (NPR) in Sweden from 2003 to 2012 (Paper I). To evalu
In recent years social care has been harshly criticized in the media. There have been reports on abuse and other different kinds of violations, especially about the special youth homes. As the problem has come to the surface, the idea of the Convention on the rights of the child as Swedish law has also emerged. The social services lack in their enforcement of the articles which results in many of
Fåglar och ljus Fåglar är kända för sin goda syn och forskningen har nästan bara handlat om deras färgseende. Hur svagt ljus fåglar kan se är ett nästan förbisett område. Hitintills är det bara känt hos tre fåglar hur svagt ljus de kan se. År 1956 undersöktes tamduvans (Columba livia domestica) ljunskänslighet och 1977 var det kattugglans (Strix aluco) tur. Efter det dröjde det ända till 2016 då
Den här uppsatsen behandlar begreppet konkurrenspåverkan av konkurrensbegränsande samarbete såsom det regleras i Sherman Act Section 1 och Artikel 101 FEUF. Regleringarna utgör hörnstenar i respektive lands konkurrensrätter. I USA tillämpar domstolar en skälighetsprincip, the rule of reason, under vilken samarbete som resulterar i en negativ konkurrenspåverkan anses oförenligt med Sherman Act SectThis essay concerns the notion of competitive effect of trade restrictive agreements as regulated in the Sherman Act Section 1 and Article 101 TFEU. The provisions on trade restrictive agreements constitute an important part of competition law in the US and the EU. In the US, the Sherman Act Section 1 condemns trade restrictive agreements under a standard of reason, called the rule of reason. The

Bostadsmarknaden i Sverige har under de senaste åren haft en kraftig tillväxt och ränteläget har ändrats radikalt. När det kommer till bostadsvärdering finns det flera faktorer som spelar in, och denna uppsats ämnar till att undersöka månadsavgiftens påverkan på slutpriset samt försöka förklara hur värderingen av avgiften på en bostad förändras när ränteläget ändras. Detta har undersökts genom att
Ett led i strävan mot en harmonisering av den internationella köprätten utgör United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) som trädde i kraft den 1 januari 1988. CISG har i skrivande stund ratificerats av 89 stater och är dispositiv lagstiftning för majoriteten av alla internationella avtal om varuköp. Något som diskuterades flitigt vid antagandet av konventionOne step in the pursuit of a harmonization of the rules regulating international sale of goods is the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which entered into force on January 1, 1988. As of today, 89 states have ratified the CISG and it is optional law for the majority of all contracts on the international sale of goods. A question highly debated at th

24 kap. 4 § brottsbalken stadgar att handlingar eller underlåtenheter som normalt utgör brott är tillåtna om de begåtts i nöd och inte är oförsvarliga. Nöd är en objektiv ansvarsfrihetsgrund som är tillämplig när fara hotar liv, hälsa, egendom eller allmänna intressen. I uppsatsen utreds denna s.k. nödrätt ur ett rättsdogmatiskt och rättsutvecklande perspektiv. Syftena är att belysa nödrätten, somChapter 24 section 4 of the Swedish Penalty Code (brottsbalken) states that criminal actions or omissions which are committed out of necessity, do not constitute a crime as long as they are not indefensible. Necessity is an objective general ground for exemption from criminal responsibility, and is applicable when a danger threatens life, health, property or public legal interests. This paper look
During more than three decades, corporate non-financial and sustainability reporting has been widely conceived as a voluntary practice, a matter of going beyond the requirements of the law. Therefore, it has been traditionally overlooked by legal and socio-legal scholars. However, during the last decade things have rapidly changed. We are currently witnessing the emergence of a mix of mandatory a
Background: Concerns about the cardiovascular safety of medications used for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain. We aimed to compare the effects of pharmacological treatments for ADHD on haemodynamic values and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in children, adolescents, and adults.
