Background: Reliable exposure data is a vital concern in medical epidemiology and intervention studies. The present study addresses the needs of the medical researcher to spend monetary resources devoted to exposure assessment with an optimal cost-efficiency, i.e. obtain the best possible statistical performance at a specified budget. A few previous studies have suggested mathematical optimization
We and others have recently shown that tumor characteristics are altered throughout tumor progression. These findings emphasize the need for re-examination of tumor characteristics at relapse and have led to recommendations from ESMO and the Swedish Breast Cancer group. Here, we aim to determine whether tumor characteristics and molecular subtypes in breast cancer metastases confer clinically rele
DDR bildades som självständig stat år 1949, efter att ha varit en sovjetisk ockupationszon sedan andra världskrigets slut. Redan under ockupationsåren, samt den nybildade självständiga statens första år, centraliserades makten till det enväldiga partiet SED och en alltmer totalitär stat växte fram. I utvecklingen mot totalitarism spelade rättsvetenskapen en stor roll. Den östtyska rättsvetenskapeThe GDR became a sovereign state in 1949 after four years as a Soviet occupation-zone after World War II. Already during the years of occupation and the very first years of independence, the power was centralized to the autocratic party SED and an increasingly totalitarian society was formed. In the development towards a totalitarian society, the legal theory played an important part. The East Ge
Teknikutvecklingens frammarsch har tillsammans med den kommersiella upphovsrättsmarknaden fått rättsområdet att utvecklas till något nytt – ett multinationellt ekonomiskt verktyg, som reglerar över ekonomisk tillväxt, ökad konkurrens, social sysselsättning och innovation. Teknikutvecklingen gjorde sig dock till en del av upphovsrätten långt innan lagstiftaren erkände eller insåg vidden av teknikenThe advancement of technology development, together with the commercial copyright market, has brought the legal area of copyright into something new – a multinational economic tool, that regulates economic growth, increased competition, social employment and innovation. However, technology development took part in copyright before the legislature acknowledged or realized the importance of the tec
System on Chip (SoC) designs contain a variety of Intellectual Property (IP) cores, including digital signal processing blocks, media and graphics processing units, as well as processing core units that employ multiple-port memories to enhance performance and bandwidth. These memories allow parallel read/write operations from the same memory blocks from different ports. Due to the enormous number
The aim of this thesis is to study how the ideal middle-class femininity was constructed through fashion in late 19th century Sweden. Fashion have often been studied through the construction of gender, but this study aspires to show how fashion history also can be enriched when combined with closely related fields such as history of the body and of women’s morality. The theoretical framework is co
I en värld där många fler människor ska leva på allt färre resurser har matavfall hamnat i ett stort fokus. Svinnet innebär att hela produktionen har gått förlorad. Det är ett ekonomiskt bortfall för företag men även för samhället i stort. Dessutom orsakar hela livsmedelskedjan miljöpåverkan, inte minst från ett klimatperspektiv. De olika aktörerna försöker självklart minska sitt eget svinn men efIn a world where more people must survive on fewer resources, food waste has become greatly focused. Waste means that the entire production has been unnecessary. It is an economic loss for a company but also for society at large. Moreover, the food chain causes an environmental impact, not least from a climate perspective. The various actors certainly try to reduce their own losses but because con
This thesis is the result of a work for Saab Automobile AB in Trollhättan, and more specifically the Department of under hood design. The project has been to Lund University and finishes my education in Technical Design. Supervisor at the company who has assisted me with much help is Andreas Barbunopulos and supervisors at the school have been Ola Carlquist and Karl-Axel Andersson. The purpose
Nowadays it is common for corporations to invest in foreign countries. These international investment are important both for promoting the domestic economy and to promote the world economy. One step in the protection and promotion of international investment is to provide an independent international dispute settlement procedure which protects international in-vestment. Such procedure is provided
I denna uppsats undersöks vilka förutsättningar det finns att, inom ramen för nuvarande arbetsmiljölagstiftning, på ett tillfredsställande sätt leva upp till arbetsgivarens organisatoriska och sociala arbetsmiljöansvar då arbetstagaren på arbetsgivarens inrådan helt eller till stor del arbetar hemifrån. Uppsatsen fokuserar på förhållanden applicerbara på konventionella anställningar för tjänstemänThis thesis examines the conditions that exist, within the framework of current work environment legislation, to satisfactorily live up to the employer's organisational and social work environment responsibilities when the employee, on the employer's advice, works entirely or largely from home. The thesis focus on conditions applicable to conventional employment for white-collar workers, a
The construction and demolition sector stands for a large amount of the waste produced every year, roughly one third of all waste produced every year in Sweden, comes from this sector. The construction material manu- facturer Ecophon is a world leading company in manufacturing of acoustic products made out of glass wool, which are used in all kind of buildings and the general geometry of an acoust
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are important enzymes that convert the building blocks of RNA (NTPs) into building blocks of DNA (dNTPs). dNTPs are used for synthesis of DNA as well as repair of mutated and damaged DNA. These cellular processes are critical to an organism. That is why these processes are found in various organisms. Since these processes are so essential, their allosteric regulati
At the time for the starting point of this master thesis, the Electrolux Healthy Home department where at a high extent looking into how a system of products that could communicate with one another could give the user a better experience in the home. Products that where looked into for coupling where for example an air purifier with a robotic vacuum-cleaner, maybe also coupled with any other
Polarized, site-selected fluorescence was measured for light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), the major Chl a/b/xanthophyll binding light-harvesting complex of green plants. Upon selective excitation in the range of 679-682 nm at 4 K, separate zero-phonon lines and phonon wings could be observed, as well as sharp lines in the vibronic region of the emission: vibronic zero-phonon lines. The maximum o
Allmänhetens förtroende är en grundläggande förutsättning för värdepappersmarknadens funktion. Investerarnas förtroende för allmänheten är tänkt att åstadkommas genom att minska företagens informationsövertag. Därför är de bolag som vänder sig till marknaden i syfte att anskaffa kapital skyldiga att tillhandahålla information i en erbjudandehandling, ett prospekt. Om informationen i ett sådant proThe public confidence is a fundamental prerequisite for the function of the securities market. The investors’ confidence is intended to be achieved by reducing the companies information advantage over the market. Hence, the companies which turn to the share market in order to raise capital are obliged to provide information in terms of a prospectus. Erroneous or insufficient information in such a
Molecular imaging techniques have become an essential tool for cancer diagnosis. They have the potential to detect cancer at early stages and thus, they can change the outcome of the disease and patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arisen as one of the most promising imaging methods used for the screening of soft tumor tissues such as breast cancer. However, the specificity of M
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of how the business model of an architecture firm needs to adapt when the company decides to offer sustainable construction. This by identifying what characterizes the business model in an architecture firm that actively works with sustainable construction. When relevant, the study will also provide insights about the transformati
I föreliggande uppsats analyseras samt jämförs de arbetsrättsliga regler vilka reglerar förhållandet mellan arbets- och familjelivet i Sverige och Danmark. Två centrala frågor uppsatsen behandlar är vilka rättsliga förutsättningar det finns för arbetstagare att vara föräldraledig och vilket skydd det finns mot att missgynnas i arbetslivet på grund av framtida, föreliggande eller nyttjad föräldraleA comparative study of law regarding parental leave and prohibition of less favourable treatment of workers associated with parental leave in Sweden and Denmark. Although the laws on parental leave in Sweden and in Denmark are similar this study will show interesting conclusions by comparing them. In Sweden parents have the possibility of unpaid parental leave until their child turns 18 months ol
Energy use is a topic which is becoming more and more of interest throughout the world. Due to future reduction of the total energy use within the European Union, the permitted energy usage for the building sector is to be reduced. This consequently puts high demands on newly produced buildings, where it is important that both great and small aspects are considered. According to a previous study i
