STUDY QUESTION: What is the risk of death among men with oligospermia, unspecified male factor and azoospermia in the years following fertility treatment? SUMMARY ANSWER: No significantly elevated risk was observed among men with oligospermia and unspecified male factor, while an increased risk was found among men with azoospermia. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Previous studies have shown associations be
Computational approaches are essential to study the effects of inborn and somatic variations. Results from such studies contribute to better diagnosis and therapies. Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are rare inborn defects of key immune response genes. Somatic variations are main drivers of most cancers. Large and diverse data on PID genes and proteins can enable systems biology studies on their
About 8000 Swedish women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and around 1500 die from the disease. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) constitutes 7-14% of all breast cancer and is characterized by an aggressive phenotype with poor prognosis and no targeted therapy available. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate new potential prognostic biomarkers in breast cancer, and with special focu
Avhandlingen, som består av fyra delstudier, är en femårsuppföljning av kvinnliga missbrukare, som var tvångsomhändertagna på Lunden mellan januari 1997 och december 2000, och som genomgick en omfattande utredning. Klienterna har systematiskt utretts med psykologiska och neuropsykologiska test i samarbete med personal och Lundens psykiater. Test och skattningsskalor som använts är standardiserade The study focus is a sample of women with drug dependence admitted to compulsory treatment according to the Swedish act of care for drug abusers (LVM, 1988:870) and according to the act of care for young persons (LVU, 1990:52). From a cohort consecutively admitted to residential treatment at Lunden between 1997 and 2000, a sample of 132 women was selected for a five year follow-up. They were evalu
Numerous barbiturates, such as (±)-pentobarbital, reversibly enhance the affinity for equilibrium binding of [3H]diazepam to well-washed rat cortical membranes in a chloride-dependent and picrotoxinin-sensitive manner [Leeb-Lundberg et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:7468-7472 (1980)]. The chemical specificity and stereospecificity of this barbiturate effect in vitro has been examined in det
We report whole-rock elemental and Sm-Nd isotope geochemical data from mafic-ultramafic supracrustal rocks from the Nunatak 1390 area in southern West Greenland. Additionally, we report the metamorphic temperature history for these rocks as derived from tourmaline thermometry on a tourmalinite inlier, as well as in situ U-Pb, Hf and O isotopic data from zircons extracted from tonalite-trondhjemite
Task characteristics such as visual and manual demands influence the postures employed and the muscular load during task execution. According to ergonomic experts at a car assembly plant, these demands are difficult to predict during product and production development and can easily be underestimated. One such task with combined visual and manual demands is the application of deco-tape to the door
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide, affecting 1% of the general population, and is characterized by a predisposition for the generation of epileptic seizures. Despite having several different aetiologies, a common underlying cause of epilepsy seems to be an acquired imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory circuits in the brain, which leads to hyperexcitability
Popular Abstract in English The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in epidemic proportions around the globe. This epidemic accounts for huge health and economic burdens as a leading cause for morbidity and mortality. The development of these diseases is very complex and involves both genetic and lifestyle factors. The shift to sedentary lifestyles anType 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle interactions using the strongest T2D and CVD susceptibility genetic loci and to understand the causal natur
Biodiversity was during the 1990s perceived as 'green gold'. With the emergence of the biotechnology industry, biodiversity prospecting, or bioprospecting, was perceived to provide opportunities to gain benefits for several purposes. Benefits would attribute towards conservation, development of source countries, new medicines, profits for the industry and welfare to local providers of biog
In an economic environment signified by shortened product lifecycles, product proliferation and reduced profit margins, product replacement decision making (PRDM) ought to be an important part of management. The case is however often that considerably more energy and resources at a firm are spent at the opposite task, hence product development. The main purpose of this master thesis was to constru
Background & Problem: In previous years, there has been low focus on inventory control. Due to high margins on the products, a high inventory level has been kept to reduce the risk for lost sales. Today, the company is expanding, and therefore need to improve the inventory control to reduce tied-up capital. Purpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to reduce capital tied-up in inventories. B

The following three areas were investigated: • Process water purification, coagulation and flocculation • Flue gas condensate, mercury reduction • Stormwater ponds, degree of purification The coagulation and flocculation of the process waterwas in need of optimizatio
Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is classified as a Group 1 human carcinogen and increases the risk of lung cancer because it can generate reactive oxygen species, induce DNA damage, and trigger epigenetic alterations Occupational Cr(VI) exposure can occur during different work processes, but when this PhD study was initiated, the exposure level to Cr(VI) at Swedish workplaces and its health risk were
Context. OH/IR stars are examples of late stellar evolution on the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), and they are, as such, important objects to study. They are also excellent probes of stellar populations, in particular in regions of high interstellar extinction such as the central regions of our Galaxy. Aims. Our goal is to characterise the stellar and circumstellar properties of high-mass-loss-rat
