One side-effect of breast cancer (BC) screening is a false-positive mammogram among healthy women. That is, finding(s) on a screening mammogram that lead to additional breast examinations but where the woman is eventually considered free from BC. There is evidence of short-term psychosocial consequences of false-positive BC screening. Regarding long-term consequences, research findings are inconsi

Understanding the responses of tundra systems to global change has global implications. Most tundra regions lack sustained environmental monitoring and one of the only ways to document multi-decadal change is to resample historic research sites. The International Polar Year (IPY) provided a unique opportunity for such research through the Back to the Future (BTF) project (IPY project #512). This a

Objective: A disturbed glucose metabolism has been observed in patients with aggressive behaviour. Interleukin (IL)-1β is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that can induce hypoglycaemia, but has also been suggested to be involved in the generation of hostility and aggression. Our group has previously shown an altered glucose metabolism in patients with self-inflicted aggressive behaviour. We investigat

Gluco-incretin hormones increase the glucose competence of pancreatic beta-cells by incompletely characterized mechanisms.

Despite the prevalence of FDSS in practice, and despite their significance both to the institutions using them and the financial system in general, few scientific studies address this topic. No past studies have attempted to evaluate FDSS in a financial risk management context. The objective of this research is to provide knowledge into how such FDSS are used to support financial risk assessmen

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: GIS som ett redskap för att se in i en möjlig framtid. Teknikutvecklingen har gått framåt med enorma steg under de senaste årtiondena. Forskningen inom luftföroreningar och ämnenas hälsoeffekter har dragit nytta av dessa framsteg bland annat genom användandet av Geografiska informationssystem (GIS). GIS är ett datorbaserat program som används för att ge rumslig The main purpose of this thesis is to look at in what different ways GIS, Geographic Information System, is used in the study of air pollution and also in the study of how air pollutions affect human health. Interest was focused on four different pollutions, because of their damage to humans. The background to why so many studies are conducted on the distribution of air pollution concentrations is

The use of CFD-models as an engineering tool for fire based analytical design of buildings has increased over the last few years. The reason for this is partly that the legislation allows for analytical dimensioning but also because the legislation demands a high degree of verification for the analytical dimensioning. The biggest reason is, however, that the computer power has increased and reache

Syftet med denna uppsats är att klarlägga det skatterättsliga läget beträffande omvandlingar av fordringar till villkorade eller ovillkorade aktieägartillskott samt omvandlingar av villkorade aktieägartillskott till ovillkorade.

I ett internationellt syndikerat låneförfarande går en grupp banker, under ledning av en så kallad arrangörsbank, ihop för att tillsammans finansiera en låntagares kapitalbehov. Det karaktäristiska för arrangemanget, som kan involvera allt från två till flera hundra långivare och enorma summor pengar, är att samtliga deltagande långivare ingår individuella låneavtal med låntagaren vilka samlas undAn international syndicated loan consists of a collection of two or more separate loans made by individual banks to one borrower, which are governed by a single agreement and subject to the same terms and conditions. The arrangement, which may involve everything from just a few to hundreds of banks and enormous amounts of money, offers many advantages for borrowers since it may allow for a more fl

Therefore for those practicing it, it can result in a more successful integration because of the socialization taking place when people integrate with each other in the sports arena. In this explorative paper soccer, basketball and boxing are illustrated as possible arenas for integration. Six men
