BACKGROUND: We measured serum levels of human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) in patients treated with radical retropubic prostatectomy (rrP) for clinically localized prostate cancer (PCa) with a total PSA (tPSA)-level below 10 ng/ml to investigate whether hK2 can be applied to preoperatively distinguish organ-confined (pT2a/b) from nonorgan-confined (> or = pT3a)-PCa more accurately than total PSA.
Background: A hip fracture is a common cause of morbidity, functional disability, and decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL). With demographic changes showing a growing proportion of older people, hip fractures will be an increasing challenge for healthcare services in the future. Hip fractures threaten the independence of individuals in their everyday lives. In Sweden, more than one thiBackground: A hip fracture is a common cause of morbidity, functional disability, and decreased health-related quality of life (HRQOL).

Popular Abstract in English Zirconium alloys are widely used in nuclear power reactors as cladding material for their fuels due to the high strength, good corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section, even in extreme environment, that is characteristic for zirconium. The element, however, also has strong affinity for hydrogen, and when both are present they readily react and form Zirconium alloys are widely used in the nuclear industry because of their high strength, good corrosion resistance and low neutron absorption cross-section. Zirconium has a strong affinity for hydrogen, however, and if hydrogen concentration builds up, the material will gradually degrade. In one class of such hydrogen caused degradation, called hydride induced embrittlement, hydrogen chemically re
Context. Open clusters are key tools to study the spatial distribution of abundances in the disk and their evolution with time. Aims. Using the first release of stellar parameters and abundances of the Gaia-ESO Survey, we analyse the chemical properties of stars in three old/intermediate-age open clusters, namely NGC 6705, NGC 4815, and Trumpler 20, which are all located in the inner part of the G
An increase in hip fracture incidence during the recent half-century has been reported worldwide and has been predicted to continue. Recent publications, however, have reported stable or even decreasing hip fracture incidence. No reports evaluate whether these changes in hip fracture incidence are associated with changes in bone mineral density (BMD), if they apply in both urban and rural settings
Agricultural intensification has contributed substantially to the increase in food production, but has come at the expense of soil degradation and environmental problems. Management of soil based ecosystem services need to be considered in agricultural management since intensive management implies not only costs to the farmer but also to society. In this study we used data from four long-term (55
Popular Abstract in Swedish Omkring 16% av alla cancerfall i världen beräknas vara orsakade av infektioner och omkring 5% av dessa orsakas av humant papillomvirus (HPV). HPV har etablerats som orsak till livmoderhalscancer och kondylom (könsvårtor). HPV-typer som förekommer på hud har förknippats med icke-melanom hudcancer såsom skivepitelcancer (SCC) men också ofarliga hudhudförändringar som aktiAround 5% of all cancer cases worldwide are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) which has been established as the cause of cervical cancer and genital warts (condylomas). Cutaneous HPV types have been weakly associated with non-melanoma skin lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK). We have analyzed skin and genital lesions for presence of HPV-DNA in order to searc
Background: The aim of this study was to provide normative data of bone mineral density (BMD; g/cm(2)) of the forearm and the calcaneus, evaluated by peripheral dual X ray absorbtiometry (DXA), in children aged 6 to 7 years of age and to evaluate the association with anthropometrics and sex. Materials and methods: 368 boys and 326 girls with a mean age of 6.7 +/- 0.4 years participated. BMD was me
This second digital edition includes my research from 2013 until November 2015. There are many important changes from de first version. This version introduces the Technocratic Mode of Production based on the exploitation of the consumers. It includes a complete description of the cyborg society as it is today, the new castes that constitute it and the economic acts that regulate the new Mode of P
De första levande organismerna uppstod på jorden när den funnits i 1,5 miljarder år. Under de följande tre miljarder åren bildades livet på jorden, och existerade i harmoni, med gravitation, kosmisk-strålning, elektriska och magnetiska fält och dess cyklisk-hemlighetsfulla variationer medan exponeringen från den naturlga mikrovågstrålningen var endast i storleksordningen 210-15 W/kg. Det var i deOur team of the clinical researchers in Lund, Sweden, found that electromagnetic radiation, such as those used in mobile communications, even at shallow power values, cause users’ blood albumin to leak through the blood-brain barrier “BBB” into the brain tissue. The BBB is supposed to protect the brain against unwanted and toxic molecules potentially present in the blood, to transfer to the brain
IntroductionGlobal water scarcity requires new approaches for water treatment. Membrane technology has proven itself as key technology for water treatment from seawater desalination with reverse osmosis to wastewater treatment with membrane bioreactors. In this presentation three new water treatment concepts based on membrane technology and their development from idea to pilot scale testing will b
Background: Neurofibrillary tangle pathology is thought to drive neurodegeneration in beta-amyloid positive (A+) cognitively normal (CN) individuals, i.e., preclinical Alzheimer’s disease (AD).However, in beta-amyloid negative (A-) CN, the contribution of tau pathology [primary age-related tauopathy (PART)] to neurodegeneration remains uncertain. We investigate the correlation between tau burden m
Denna uppsats fokuserar på offentliga upphandlingar och behandlar begreppet onormalt låga anbud. Dessa anbudens låga nivå kan vara grundade i dolda motiv eller missförstånd från anbudsgivaren. Detta medför att den upphandlande myndigheten kan vilja förkasta det aktuella anbudet. Den låga nivån kan däremot lika gärna vara helt legitimt och bör därmed inte förkastas. Regelverket samt praxis på områdThis thesis focuses on public procurements and deals with the concept of abnormally low tenders. The low levels in a tender can be founded in a hidden agenda or in a misunderstanding by the tenderer. This means that the contracting authority may wish to reject the current offer. The low level, on the other hand, can just as easily be completely legitimate and should therefore not be discouraged. T
Syftet med denna framställning är att, mot bakgrund av att arvsrätt existerar inom äktenskap, undersöka om sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad samt att diskutera sambors efterlevandeskydd de lege ferenda. För att uppnå syftet undersöks efterlevandeskyddet för sambor respektive makar, hur efterlevandeskyddet för sambor kan stärkas, hur sambors avsaknad av arvsrätt är motiverad och till sist hThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether or not it is justifiable that cohabiting partners don’t inherit from each other, given that married couples do. Furthermore, I am going to discuss cohabiting partners’ provision for surviving lex ferenda. Towards this purpose I will look into current survivorship legislation that affects cohabiting partners as well as married couples, how it can
In recent years, technological developments have been the focal point of the discussion in the shipping industry. The two main topics have been a general discussion on IT security and a discussion about autonomous ships. Concerning IT security, the discussion has been focused on the industry's knowledge in the field and preparedness for any attacks or mishaps that can affect companies that ar
Ensamrätten till ett varumärke är en dynamisk rätt, där skyddsomfånget förändras över tid. Skyddsomfånget avgörs utefter graden av särskiljningsförmåga, vilket innebär ett varumärkes förmåga att särskilja varumärkesinnehavarens varor eller tjänster från andra näringsidkares varor eller tjänster. Vid varumärkesregistrering är särskiljningsförmåga ett absolut krav. Är fallet så att ett varumärke helA trademark right is a dynamic right, where the scope of protection alters over time. The scope of protection is determined according to the degree of distinctiveness, which means the trademark’s ability to distinguishing the goods and services of one trader from the goods and services of another. A trademark must be capable of distinguishing to be registered. If a trademark has completely lost it
In public safety oversight authorities are traditionally assumed responsible of safeguarding operation and promoting safety by defining prescriptions and observing that they are complied with. Regulated entities on their side are assumed responsibility for complying. While this compliance-based approach has contributed to current levels of safety, it is increasingly debated that it has limitatio
I snart 500 år har människan använt sig av diverse optiska instrument för att betrakta sådant som inte är möjligt att se med blotta ögat. Teleskop har använts för att studera himlakroppar och mikroskop för att exempelvis undersöka små biologiska beståndsdelar. Det finns idag många olika metoder inom optisk mikroskopi men samtliga följer en liknande grundprincip. Objektet som ska avbildas exponerasSeveral significant pathogenic bacteria exhibit surface proteins that bind human antibodies, preventing them from being recognized by the human immune system. These bacteria are thus protected from elimination and can survive in the host organism. One common such bacteria is the Streptococcus pyogenes that exhibits the antibody binding M protein on its surface. Streptococcus pyogenes causes more t
Self-awareness is the ability to recognize oneself as a distinct individual from others. For a long time, this was thought to be a uniquely human capability. However, in the last 50 years, it has been argued that humans might not be the only self-aware organisms and different tests have been developed to investigate this. The most commonly used experiment to test self-awareness is the mirror self-
