Objectives: Tetrachloroethylene is the dominant solvent used in dry cleaning worldwide and many workers are potentially exposed. We report here on results of 1296 measurements of tetrachloroethylene undertaken in Nordic dry cleaning shops 1947–2001. Methods: We searched documents and files in the Nordic institutes of occupational health for air measurements of tetrachloroethylene. Repeated measur

CandidatusNeoehrlichia mikurensis is the tick-borne agent of neoehrlichiosis, an infectious disease that primarily affects immunocompromised patients. So far, the genetic variability of Neoehrlichia has been studied only by comparing 16S rRNA gene and groEL operon sequences. We describe the development and use of a multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) protocol to characterize the genetic diversity

The expected increase in longevity of individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) in many countries of the world is a direct result of medical and social advances, which have also extended the longevity of the general population. It is important to assess the need for social services for people with ID across different administrative levels to ensure sufficient resources are allocated to where

The course of prostate cancer varies greatly, and additional prognostic markers are needed. Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains protein 1 (LRIG1) is an endogenous inhibitor of growth factor signaling and a proposed tumor suppressor. Publicly available gene expression datasets indicate that LRIG1 may be overexpressed in prostate cancer. In our study, the expression of LRIG1 protein

Ägarlägenheter är idag en ovanlig bostadsform på den svenska bostadsmarknaden, och har ännu inte byggts i särskilt vid omfattning. Boendeformen infördes i svensk lagstiftning år 2009, vilket kan vara en av anledningarna till att den ännu inte har hunnit etableras i samhället. Utomlands är boendeformen välkänd, men i denna uppsats undersöks främst den svenska lagstiftningen gällande fastighetsbildn

Centralt för uppsatsen är Leo-lagen som tillkom efter en företagsskandal på 1980-talet där ledande befattningshavare i AB Leo fått teckna aktier i bolaget till fördelaktiga villkor. Leo-lagen som nu återfinns i 16 kap. ABL stadgar att ett beslut om nyemission måste fattas av bolagsstämman med minst nio tiondelars majoritet om de som ska ha rätt att teckna aktier ingår i den av Leo-lagen utpekade f

Sustainable development has become a major goal of development policies across the globe and environmental innovation is commonly viewed as a means to fulfil this goal because it can create growth while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Recent research in economic geography has provided evidence for a positive relationship between variety in local knowledgebases and innovativeness. Fol
