Swedish Health and Medical Services act states that good care should be given to the entire population on equal terms. Still studies show that access to care in Sweden differ related to for example gender and socioeconomic variables. One of the areas in Swedish health care that has attracted attention for potential inequity in access is Cataract Extraction (CE). Previous studies of access to CE in

Filmen Four Lions väckte stor uppmärksamhet och lockade storpublik i Storbritannien trot, eller tack vare, att den behandlade frågan om islamistisk terrorism med humorn som vapen-

The effect on a model drug delivery system when adding a drug, lidocaine, has been studied. Temperature and concentration dependence of a nonionic microemulsion with part of the oil, 1 and 10 vol. %, substituted with drug has been investigated. A nonionic oil-in-water microemulsion consisting of CH3(CH2)(11)(OCH2CH2)(5)OH, (C12E5), decane, water and the drug (lidocaine) that has been used to subst

The article is based on the string-hypothesis, which has important scientific consequences. Science has meant to associate the notion of number with the strict operation of counting. However, recent account of string-theoretical approaches is sharply distinguishing ”number” from ”magnitude”. In studying ”spinning” strings in the context of language, it is shown that rotation is a valid concept. Fo

Bacteria appeared on the Earth millions years before us and human evolution was triggered by the constant presence of pathogenic and symbiotic microorganisms in our surroundings. Interplay occurred between higher organism and microbial consortia residing in the host organs and on the epithelial surfaces; another natural space of bacteria human interaction is the indoor environment where we spend t

The soluble form of the urokinase receptor, suPAR, has been suggested as a novel biomarker of low-grade inflammation. Activation of the immune system has been proposed to contribute to the development of depression and suicidal behavior. In order to identify depressed and suicidal individuals who could benefit from an anti-inflammatory treatment, a reliable biomarker of low-grade inflammation is v

I Helsingborgs stad, likt i många andra större städer i Sverige, råder det platsbrist samtidigt som grönytor försvinner i takt med att nybyggnationer ökar. Helsingborgs stad har som vision att vara en skapande, pulserande, gemensam, global och balanserad stad för både människor och företag år 2035. Den nya urbaniseringstrenden ställer därmed krav på stadens uppbyggnad och planering. Vidare har gröIn Helsingborg, as in many other major cities in Sweden, there is a shortage of space as green space disappears while new construction increases. The municipality of Helsingborg has a vision to be a creative, vibrant, common, global and balanced city for both people and companies by 2035. The new urbanization trend places a demand on the city's construction and planning. Furthermore, greenery

Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) kan ses som lokala, immateriella tillgångar som finns på en viss plats i form av exempelvis billig arbetskraft eller en välutvecklad infrastruktur. I FN:s manual för internprissättning från maj 2013 ges både Kina och Indien egna kapitel där de förklarar sin syn på LSAs och hur de anser att multinationella bolag bör ta hänsyn till dessa i sin internprissättning. Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) can be considered as local intangibles in a specific place, as for instance: cheap labour or well-developed infrastructure. Both China and India have their own chapters in the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries from May 2013, where they are able to express their views on LSAs and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) shou

The competitive corporate environment of today, as marked by continuous changes and enhanced global competition, forces companies to constantly adapt their current business activities and increasingly excel. Innovation is considered a critical imperative in order to respond to these increased competitive threats. Hence, innovation ought to permeate corporate environments and their inherent busines

The purpose of this thesis is to create a greater understanding of the process of the commissionaires’ work with the report Malmö’s way to a sustainable future, which was finished and presented in March 2013. It is not the content of the report that is of interest for the writer, or in focus in this thesis, but how the commissionaires working with the report experienced the process: was it transpa

Det övergripande temat för denna uppsats är inriktat mot att reda ut den komplicerade, och i doktrin väl diskuterade, lojalitetsplikten för styrelsen i ett aktiebolag. Lojalitetsplikten är inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL), dess existens erkänns dock av en majoritet i doktrin. Diskussionen i doktrin hänvisar både till regler och allmänna rättsprinciper för att bekräfThe general theme of this thesis is directed towards unravelling the complicated, and in doctrine well discussed, duty of loyalty for the board of directors in a corporate company. The duty of loyalty is not explicitly legislated in the Swedish Company Act, however the majority in Swedish doctrine recognizes its exist-ence. The discussion in doctrine refers to rules as well as general principles o

Amyloid beta peptides (Aβ) proteins play a key role in vascular pathology in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) including impairment of the blood–brain barrier and aberrant angiogenesis. Although previous work has demonstrated a pro-angiogenic role of Aβ, the exact mechanisms by which amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and endothelial angiogenic signalling cascades interact in AD remain a largely un

BackgroundPretreatment is an important step in the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material. Using acetic acid together with steam pretreatment allows the positive effects of an acid catalyst to be retained, while avoiding the negative environmental effects associated with sulphuric acid. Acetic acid is also formed during the pretreatment and hydrolysis of hemicellulose, and is a known
