The first aim of this study was to on historical background survey women's alcohol habits and especially to investigate women aged 50-59 living in the Lund area. The second aim was to increase the understanding of how women's sex role has a restrictive influence on their alcohol habits. To investigate women's alcohol habits I made two quantitative studies. From secondary data I found t
Previous studies have found that launch prices reflect the therapeutic gains of pharmaceuticals (for instance: Ekelund and Persson, 2003, on Sweden and Lu and Comanor, 1998, on the US). Furthermore, Howard et al (2015) found that purely pharmaceutical costs to “Medicare” at launch for new anticancer drugs increased annually, from 1995-2013, after controlling for health benefits and inflation.

I svensk lagstiftning är en samförståndslösning något som eftersträvas och anses vara barnets bästa. På flera ställen i vår lagbok, bland annat i Föräldrabalken och i Socialtjänstlagen, finns regleringar vad domare och socialtjänstemän är skyldiga att göra för att underlätta en samförståndslösning. Även i Norge ses samförståndslösningar som något positivt. Förutom de frivilliga samtalen på socialk
Banker har en essentiell roll i det moderna samhällssystemet funktion som betalningsförmedlare, kreditgivare och mottagare av ekonomiska medel från allmänheten som placeras till exempel på konto i bank. Utan ett fungerande banksystem blir möjligheten för företag och privatpersoner att förmedla betalningar till varandra, söka krediter eller förvara sina intjänade medel på ett tryggt sätt starkt bFinancial companies in general, and banks in particular, plays an essential role for the function of modern society. Without a working banking-system there would be no effective way to make payments and hardship would meet the credit-market. Some banks have been thought of as ”to big to fail”, although during the last years well-known international banks such as Leeman Brothers has been forced t
The principal function of a trademark is to give consumers a guarantee of the identity of a market product, by enabling the consumers to distinguish that product from others of a different provenance. In order to make a product stand out in the market place, the industry constantly seeks to invent and use new ways to appeal to customers. Lately, unconventional sensory marks, such as scents have ma
Utvecklingen som skett i Sverige de senaste decennierna, där vi har gått från industrisamhälle till kunskapssamhälle, från hierarki till platta organisationer och från maskin till hjärna har medfört ett ökat behov av skydd för arbetsgivare. Större ansvar, närmre relation med kunder samt indirekt kontroll från ledning och styrelse har vidgat arbetstagares utrymme i arbetslivet till att bl a fatta vSweden’s business-market has change a lot during the recent decades, where the society have gone from being industrialbased to knowledgebased, where organizations has gone from hierarchy to “flat” and now we use brains instead of machines. This has led to an increasing need of protection for employers. Greater responsibility, closer customer relationships and indirect control from management has e
The foundation of this thesis has been to investigate the possibilities of giving Stena Aluminium, a company recycling aluminium, increased control to regulate and steer the risk they are taking when exposing raw material and finished goods. Stena Aluminium wants to minimize the risk of losses on raw material and finished goods when prices change. This is a large problem for instance when raw mate
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore how women experienced sexuality after radical cystectomy due to bladder cancer. Methods: We performed an interview study with qualitative design with content analysis. Inclusion criteria were age below 75 years. In total 10 women, with a median age of 64 years at surgery, were interviewed at median 24 months post radical cystectomy. Results: The 10 wom
Intercalation of very long molecules into the structure of multi-layered graphene oxide (GO) was studied using example of 1-hexadecanol (C16), an alcohol molecule with 16 carbon atoms. Brodie graphite oxide (BGO) immersed in excess of liquid C16 just above the melting point shows expansion of c-unit cell parameter from ∼6 Å to ∼48.76 Å forming a structure with two densely packed layers of C16 mole
BACKGROUND: The risks of developmental language disorder (DLD) for both educational progress and socio-emotional development are well documented, but little is known about how children and young people with DLD experience and describe their language and communication. The need to complement experimental and quantitative studies with qualitative perspectives of the lived experience of individuals w
Head and neck skin cancer surgery using a full thickness skin graft is a common procedure. Evidence concerning the effects of perioperative antithrombotic treatment on complications is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether perioperative antithrombotic treatment is associated with risk of necrosis, bleeding or infection after full thickness skin graft surgery. Retrospective single-
The aim of this paper is to present the construction of a male genetic linkage map as a result of the bovine genome mapping project, which is a common effort of the German cattle breeding federation (ADR), four animal breeding institutes, three blood group laboratories and two animal data and breeding value evaluation centres. In total 20 grandsires with 1074 sires were provided from the German ca
BACKGROUND: Patients with acute coronary occlusion (ACO) may not only have ischemia-related ST-segment changes but also changes in the QRS complex. It has recently been shown in dogs that a greater ischemic QRS prolongation (IQP) during ACO is related to lower collateral flow. This suggests that greater IQP could indicate more severe ischemia and thereby more rapid infarct development. Therefore,
BackgroundMizoram has the highest incidence of cancer in India. Among women, breast cancer is most prevalent and the state occupies fifth position globally. The reason for high rate of cancer in this region is still not known but it may be related to ethnic/racial variations or lifestyle factors.MethodsThe present study aims to identify the candidate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) biomarkers—ND1and ATP
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term post-recurrence survival outcomes in young women receiving fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) to verify the feasibility of the limited surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (OvCa). Study design: We performed a regional multicenter retrospective study from January 1986 and March 2020, using clinical data corrected under the central patholog
Different methods can be used to define healthy vascular ageing (HVA). In this prospective cohort study, we explored three different definitions in order to provide guidance for which to use. 2718 subjects were included from the Cardiovascular (CV) arm of the Malmö Diet Cancer Study (MDCS; median age 71.9 years, 62.2% females). Three different definitions of HVA were used: HVA-1 (<15th percentile
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNA-CN) is a surrogate biomarker of mitochondrial dysfunction and is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, despite being associated with both CVD and T2D, it is not known what role mtDNA-CN has in the association between T2D and CVD. Our aims were to investigate whether, (1) baseline mtDNA-CN is associ
Background: Self-care behavior is important in avoiding hospitalization for patients with heart failure (HF) and refers to those activities performed with the intention of improving or restoring health and well-being, as well as treating or preventing disease. The purpose was to study the effects of a home-based mobile device on self-care behavior and hospitalizations in a representative HF-popula
