Design: The cross-sectional observational study was performed in Nov. 2005. Setting: Hospitals and special accommodations. Participants: Out of 2945 persons, 2600 (88%) agreed to participate (1726 from special accommodations and 874 f
Background. To study group B streptococcus (GBS) colonisation in parturients and infants in relation to obstetric outcome and to define serotypes and antibiotic resistance in GBS isolates acquired. Methods. A population-based, national cohort of parturients and their infants was investigated. During 1 calendar week in 2005 all women giving birth (n=1,754) were requested to participate in the study
Historiskt har Sverige haft en unik relation till snus, som varit djupt rotat i den svenska kulturen. Denna uppsats undersöker hur denna produkt har hanterats juridiskt, från de tidiga 1900-talens liberala inställning till dagens betydligt mer restriktiva syn, med ett särskilt fokus på utvecklingen från 2000-talet och framåt. Uppsatsen analyserar hur regleringarna av snus och andra tobaksprodukterHistorically, Sweden has had a unique relationship with snus, which has been deeply rooted in Swedish culture. This paper examines how this cultural product has been handled legally, from the liberal attitude of the early 1900s to today's much more restrictive view, with a particular focus on developments from the 2000s onwards. The paper analyzes how the regulation of snus and other tobacco p
Beställarens rätt att avbeställa arbeten när denne ingått ett entreprenadavtal med avtalsgrund i AB 04 utreds och analyseras i denna uppsats. Vidare undersöks förhållandet mellan avbeställning och hävning. Detta görs med hjälp av en traditionell rättsdogmatisk metod. Författare på området synes vara överens om att beställaren har en avbeställningsrätt. Men, om denna kan anses följa direkt av AB The buyer´s right to cancellation of works in a commercial construction contract due to AB 04, is analysed in this paper. The relationship between cancellation and termination is also examined. This paper is based on a legal dogmatic method. Authors in this field agrees that the buyer is entitled to cancellation of works. But they do not agree if this right follows directly from AB 04, by outgoi
Objectives. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. This study investigated whether the IGF-I axis and thyroid hormones are associated with BMD and osteoporotic fractures before and after parathyroidectomy (PTX). Materials and methods. Forty-five patients with mild PHPT were examined before and 1 year after
Detta examensarbete behandlar utvecklingen av ett intelligent belysningssystem på Beckhoff Automation AB:s kontor i Malmö. Syftet är att minska energiförbrukningen utan att kompromissa användarkomforten, genom att automatisera styrningen av kontorets belysning med hjälp av närvarodetektering, ljusnivåmätningar och fördefinierade ljusscenarier. Projektet programmeras via Beckhoffs PLC-system, TwinC
Importance: Neuroprognostication studies are potentially susceptible to a self-fulfilling prophecy as investigated prognostic parameters may affect withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy. Objective: To compare the results of prognostic parameters after cardiac arrest (CA) with the histopathologically determined severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) obtained from autopsy results. Design,
Background: Neoadjuvant cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy (NAC) is standard perioperative treatment of patients with muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer (MIBC); however, about half of the patients experience recurrence of the disease. Biomarkers for response and survival represent an unmet medical need. We used tumor specimens from transurethral resections of the bladder to explore ge
Context. Multiplanet systems are excellent laboratories to test planet formation models as all planets are formed under the same initial conditions. In this context, systems transiting bright stars can play a key role, since planetary masses, radii, and bulk densities can be measured. Aims. GJ 9827 (K2-135) has recently been found to host a tightly packed system consisting of three transiting smal
The strength of soil can significantly increase by stabilisation with binders. Adding binders in correct proportions to improve soil parameters is of paramount importance for earthworks. In this article, we presented a framework to explore strength characteristics of soil stabilised by several binders and evaluated using applied geophysical methods by estimated P-wave velocities. The core of our w
The pancreatic islet is a highly structured micro-organ that produces insulin in response to rising blood glucose. Here we develop a label-free and automatic imaging approach to visualize the islets in situ in diabetic rodents by the synchrotron radiation X-ray phase-contrast microtomography (SRμCT) at the ID17 station of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The large-size images (3.2 mm ×
In the formulation of an active enzyme enclosed in a matrix for controlled delivery, it is a challenge to achieve a high protein load and to ensure high activity of the protein. For the first time to our knowledge, we report the use of a highly swollen lipid sponge (L3) phase for encapsulation of the large active enzyme, β-galactosidase (β-gal, 238 kDa). This enzyme has large relevance for applica
The world is today facing a serious problem with global warming, which is heading towards an appallingly high temperature level. The greater part of the overall climate science community agree that global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect, which depends largely on emitted CO2 emissions from the combustion of fossil fuel.

During the summer of 2005 more than 80 million articles of clothing from China, were being held in European harbours. This was a consequence of a striking increase of imported textile and clothing articles from China since the turn of the year, which was the time when all quantitative restrictions were extincted on these products. To protect its own market, the EU therefore reintroduced import quo
Between drug abuse and a more ordinary life – A qualitative study about former drug addicts experiences of past and present (translated title) The purpose of this study was to examine the experiences of a group of people after leaving a life of drug abuse behind to live a more ordinary life and to interpret these experiences in the light of interactional theory. The theoretic framework used was b
Calculating probability of default (PD) for low default portfolios in a statistically sound way can be a daunting task. For groups of coun- terparties with no or few defaults, e.g. large corporates and nancial institutions, standard approaches like logistic regression fail due to the low number of events. In this thesis, a dierent approach is used. The logit function in logistic regression is repl
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka den processuella gången som följer då poliser begår våldsbrott i tjänst. Förfarandet innebär processer i flera instanser vilket leder till en rad problem, inte minst ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Målet har varit att undersöka förfarandet så som det ser ut idag, att identifiera eventuella problem och att söka lösningar på dessa. Polisens aThe aim of this master thesis has been to examine the court proceedings when policemen commit violent crimes at work. The procedure involves processes in multiple instances causing a range of problems. The goal has been to investigate the procedure as it is today, to identify potential problems and to seek solutions to these problems. The police has a complex role in society and their work assig
