The aim of this study was to analyse whether the interleukin-1 (IL-1) and IL-6 gene polymorphisms were associated with the susceptibility of chronic periodontitis. Genomic DNA was obtained from 20 patients with chronic periodontitis and 31 periodontally healthy subjects. All subjects were of North European heritage. The test subjects were kept in a maintenance program after periodontal treatment b

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka om takvolym är analogt tillämpligt på dynamiska inköpssystem. De senaste åren har prejudikat förändrat synen på vad som maximalt kan avropas inom ett ramavtal. Det skapar följdfrågor om takvolym kan tillämpas analogt på dynamiska inköpssystem, vilket är uppsatsens huvudsakliga fråga. Uppsatsen kommer att börja med att introducera upphandling i stora drThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the possibility of applying “ceiling volume” onto a dynamic purchasing system. Ceiling volume means the requirement to specify a maximum volume of supplies or services. In recent years legal cases have changed the view of the maximum volume that can be awarded during a given period within a framework agreement. A question has now been raised as to whethe

The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below.The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and t

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka om rekryterare upplever att det förekommer etnisk diskriminering mot den ansökande under rekryteringsprocessen, samt om rekryterare upplever moralisk stress. Den syftade också till att se om det finns ett samband mellan rekryterares moraliska stress och deras erfarenhet av etnisk diskriminering. En enkät gjordes med hjälp av både tidigare befintliga frågor sThis study aimed to investigate whether recruiters experience ethnic discrimination against the applicant during the recruitment process, as well as whether recruiters experience moral stress. It also aims to see if there is a relationship between recruiters' moral stress and their experience of ethnic discrimination. A survey was made using both a pre-existing questionnaire and self-construct

Switched capacitors are here investigated for use in reconfigurable matching networks, particularly for DVB-H frequencies. A $0.13$ $mu$m CMOS circuit is evaluated through both simulations and measurements. Source grounded NMOS transistors are used to switch high quality metal capacitors located above metal layer 8. The quality factor and tuning range depend on frequency, switch voltage, capacitor

Computationally hard problems, such as operations on n-dimensional maps, are in need of efficient solutions. Cellular Neural Networks have this promise. This paper explores digital realizations of such computational paradigms through the case of real-time image processing. It is shown that a behaviour-based spatial unrolling of the time-critical numerical convergence loop outperforms a classical f
