We present new data for the ∼3.0 Ga Maniitsoq Norite Belt of the Akia Terrane, West Greenland, with the aim of understanding its petrogenesis. The Maniitsoq Norite Belt is hosted in regional tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite (TTG) and dioritic orthogneisses, intruded by later sheets of TTG and granite pegmatites, and comprises two main rock types: plagioclase-rich “norites” and pyroxene-rich “mel

Background: Understanding the relationship among changes in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), patient outcomes, and probability of progression is crucial for evaluating the long-term benefits of disease-modifying treatments. We examined associations among changes in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) stages and outcomes that are important to patients and their care partners including activities of daily livin

Background: The complement and kallikrein-kinin systems (KKS) are activated during vascular inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate if blockade of the KKS can affect complement activation on the endothelium during inflammation. Methods: Complement deposition on endothelial microvesicles was assayed in vasculitis patient plasma samples and controls. Plasma was perfused over glomerula

OBJECTIVES: To illuminate patterns observed in International Cancer Benchmarking Programme studies by extending understanding of the various influences on presentation and referral with cancer symptoms.DESIGN: Cross-country comparison of Denmark, England and Sweden with qualitative analysis of in-depth interview accounts of the prediagnostic process in lung or bowel cancer.PARTICIPANTS: 155 women

Progresses in reconstructing Earth's history of biomass burning has motivated the development of a modern charcoal dataset covering the last decades through a community-based initiative called the Global Modern Charcoal Dataset (GMCD). As the frequency, intensity and spatial scale of fires are predicted to increase regionally and globally in conjunction with changing climate, anthropogenic activit

Overcoming cellular growth restriction, including the evasion of cellular senescence, is a hallmark of cancer. We report that PAK4 is overexpressed in all human breast cancer subtypes and associated with poor patient outcome. In mice, MMTV-PAK4 overexpression promotes spontaneous mammary cancer, while PAK4 gene depletion delays MMTV-PyMT driven tumors. Importantly, PAK4 prevents senescence-like gr

Demographic, psychosocial, and health status information was collected from 316 health maintenance organization members with fibromyalgia. A manual tender point exam was conducted. Tender point c

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling studerades artrikedom, rörelsemönster och utdöenden bland fjärilar och solitära bin. Under senare år har det uppmärksammats att antalet arter av insekter minskar i en alarmerande takt. Fjärilar, bin, blomflugor m.fl. blir allt färre. Eftersom insekterna utgör en stor del av arterna på jorden och dessutom har viktiga funktioner i ekosystemen, som t.ex.During recent decades, concern about the loss of biodiversity has increased. To change this negative trend there is an urgent need for effective conservation measures and there are ample evidence that conservation of organisms without an understanding of their ecology and behaviour is impossible. At the Kullaberg Nature Reserve in the south-western part of Sweden butterflies exhibited a disastrous

Sexualitet har länge varit föremål för kontroll, kategorisering och reglering. I vårt nutida västerländska samhälle har vi lagar som reglerar vilka sexuella handlingar som är acceptabla och vilka som inte är det, och vissa typer av sexualitet är även sjukdomsklassade. De senaste åren har viss form av sex diskuterats intensivt i svenska nyhetsmedier; nämligen pornografi. Diskussionen berör frågor oThe aim of the study is to examine discourse on pornography in Swedish news media. The methodological point of departure is Critical Discourse Analysis, as presented by Fairclough. The empirical material consists of 69 articles, editorials and chronicles publicized in Swedish news media between July 2013 and March 2017. The primary theoretical point of departure of the study is Fairclough’s critic

Ett väl fungerande skattesystem utgör basen för finansieringen av välfärdssystemet. Skatteflykt ger upphov till skattebaserosion, ett fenomen som ger upphov till stora kostnader, såväl för Sverige som för andra stater och försvårar finansieringen av välfärdssystemet. Generalklausuler utgör ett verktyg mot skatteflykt. I Sverige finns sedan många år tillbaka en generalklausul mot skatteflykt i skatThe basis for the funding of welfare systems is a well-functioning tax system. Tax base erosion, founded in tax avoidance, imposes significant costs for both Sweden and other countries and it risks obstructing the funding of the welfare system. General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAARs) is an instrument for countering tax avoidance. For many years, Sweden has had a GAAR in the Swedish Anti-Avoidance Act

Vad spelar Arktis för roll i klimatförändringarna? Denna avlägsna, och glest befolkade, del av världen utgör faktiskt en viktig del av klimatsystemet. Arktis spelar en betydande roll i kolets kretslopp; vilket innefattar såväl koldioxid och metan, två av de viktigaste växthusgaserna. Förändringar i koncentrationer av växthusgaser påverkar hur mycket värme som hålls kvar i jordens atmosfär. VåtmarkMethane is one of the most important greenhouse gases, and the Arctic region plays an important role in its dynamics. Due to limited observations in this remote and often harsh environments, large uncertainties surround the role of the Arctic region in a warming climate. In this thesis, I examine the performance of the three low-cost solid state sensors, Figaro sensors TGS2600-B00, TGS2611-C00 an
