Psoriasis is a common, chronic disease and in one-third of the patients it begins during the first 2 decades of life. The burdens of psoriasis are many, and some can be assessed with quality of life questionnaires. The aim was to investigate the impact of childhood psoriasis on quality of life in children and their parents and to correlate certain clinical findings with quality of life. Forty-five
The success of the IEEE 802.11 standard has prompted research into efficiency of the different medium access methods and their support for different traffic types. A modified version of the point coordination function (PCF) called modified PCF has been introduced as a way to improve the efficiency over the standard method. It has been shown through a simulation study and a mathematical analysis th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Reaktiva syreföreningar s.k. ROS uppstår naturligt i den syrerelaterade metabolismen eller i andra processer och den orsakar skador på essentiella föreningar i cellen såsom DNA, proteiner och fetter. Denna oxidation ligger till grund för många allvarliga sjukdomar hos människor som t.ex. viss typ av cancer och Alzheimers och man tror även att den ligger bakom andra åkomReactive oxygen species (ROS) consisting of various oxygen-based free radicals as well as other reactive non-radical species produced in O2-related metabolism or through other processes are involved in the oxidation of such vital biomolecules as DNA, proteins and lipids. The types of oxidation represented here are known to cause many different diseases and disorders in human beings, such as cancer
An article to be presented at the seminar “Breakdown and other Technological Phenomena”– directed by Professor Don Ihde to be held during the fall term of 2010 at the Techno-science Research Group; Department of Philosophy, Stony Brook University Aristotle understood the word “accident” as an attribute of a class or a thing that is not essential. The word comes from Latin accidentum meaning “some
It is known that the minimum edge length convex partition MWCP of polygons with holes (an example of a PSLG) is NP-hard. Partitioning polygons with holes into the minimum number of convex polygons MNCP is also known to be NP-hard. We show that The MWCP and MNCP problem for general PSLGs where the sum of the hole vertices and re ex vertices inside the convex hull is sub-logarithmic can be solved in
The aim of this thesis is to analyse how members of the Swedish press were represented in different media from the 1870s to the 1930s, how and why the representations were changed, and the way newspaper staff responded to them. The representations of journalists in novels, short stories, movies, press history, press debates, pictures in the funny papers and so on are analyzed as parts of the publi
Lokshtanov, Marx, and Saurabh SODA 2011 proved that there is no (k-epsilon)^pw(G)poly(n) time algorithm for deciding if an n-vertex graph G with pathwidth pw admits a proper vertex coloring with k colors unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) is false, for any constant epsilon>0. We show here that nevertheless, when k>lfloor Delta/2 rfloor + 1, where Delta is the maximum degree in th
This article explores how quantitative organological analysis can be implemented alongside historical musicology to help stimulate creativity in performance practice while promoting a diversity of timbre that is often lost amidst the hegemonic propagation of homogenized, normalized modern musical instruments. The tuba family provides an insightful case study demonstrating how the history and devel
This thesis consists of three independent research papers. Using both applied econometric methods and theoretical models, they study the functioning of electricity markets, including those for green certificates, and auction markets in the presence of policy and market imperfections. The first paper empirically examines the effect of regulatory uncertainty in quota-based green certificate markets,
INTRODUCTION: A recent study on patients with acute lower limb ischemia showed that the proportion of inadequate examination of lower extremity circulation was associated with higher rate of amputation and death. The aim of this systematic review was to explore evidence for how practical competence in performing a peripheral vascular status of the lower limb among medical students and junior docto
Occupancy is one of the primary contributors to the energy performance gap, defined as the difference between actual and predicted energy usage, in buildings. This paper limits its scope to residential buildings, where occupant-centric consumption often goes unaccounted for in standard energy metrics. This paper starts from the hypothesis that a simple occupant energy efficiency label is needed to
New-generation single-layer polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE-) or polyurethane (PU-) covered stent (CS) for the treatment of coronary artery perforation (CAP) during PCI offer high procedural efficacy. To evaluate the comparative long-term safety and efficacy of both devices. This is a multicenter pooled analysis of individual data of patients with CAP undergoing implantation of single-layer PTFE-CS o
Background: The prospective, multinational European 'Stroke in Young Fabry Patients' (sifap1) study collected 4,467 patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events aged 18-55 years. Initially, aetiologic subtyping was performed using the TOAST classification; however, recently the phenotypic ASCO classification was presented and might be more useful to identify stroke aetiologies in young pati
The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive
Ett utmärkande drag för aktiebolagsformen är att aktieägare som huvudregel inte har något personligt ansvar för ett bolags förpliktelser. Aktieägare är i princip endast ansvariga för tecknat aktiekapital. Det begränsade personliga ansvaret möjliggör för innovativa riskbenägna aktieägare att driva verksamheter på ett organiserat och varaktigt sätt utan att riskera sina privata förmögenheter. Det beA distinctive feature of a limited company is that shareholders do not risk more than they have invested. This makes it possible for innovative shareholders to run high-risk businesses in an organized and sustainable manner without having to risk their own private capital. The principle of limited personal liability promotes economic activity and therefore has a clear socio-economic purpose. It al
Article 102 TFEU prohibits any abuse by one or more undertakings in a dominant position. A dominant undertaking offering exclusivity rebates falls under the prohibition laid down in Article 102 TFEU. The treatment of exclusivity rebates in case law has been a controversy, the first cases held a strict approach towards exclusivity rebates and established that exclusivity rebates are to be assessed
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda och analysera på vilket sätt barnets bästa beaktas när frågor om vårdnad och umgänge ska prövas av domstolen och det föreligger uppgifter om våld och/eller skyddade personuppgifter. Våld i nära relationer är en utbredd problematik. Under 2012 var det ca 7 % av den svenska befolkningen som utsattes för våld i en nära relation. Vidare uppskattas att ca 150 000 barnThe purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyze in which manner the child’s best interests are taken into account by the Court considering custody and visitation when information concerning abuse and/or protected personal data exists. Domestic violence is a widespread problem. In 2012, approximately 7% of Sweden’s population suffered abuse from a close relative. Additionally, it is estimat
Gymnadenia conopsea s.l., the fragrant orchid is widely distributed over Europe and adjacent parts of Asia. It is frequently found in open grassland, woodland and rich fen habitats, particularly in calcareous regions. The species is characterized by a high variation in morphological and genetic characters including plant height, floral characters, flowering time, habitat preferences, allozymes and
