Too Many Doing Too Little On Contemporary European Film Production Cultures In a majority of Western European countries, the two concurrent, post-World War II tendencies of increasing economic difficulties for the national film industries and the developing recognition of film as a significant contemporary art form were imperative for the introduction of film support. With Hollywood dominating sc
This paper presents and suggests a load combination factor for moisture induced stress (MIS) when MIS and snow load are combined. It is argued that MIS may be considered as an ordinary load to be combined with other structural actions, for example snow load. This outlook is not new but till now the load combination factor issue has not been investigated. Based on measured snow depths and calculate
Research area: Modern society is increasingly dependent on a range of technical infrastructure networks including e.g. power, transport and IT networks. This dependence is illustrated by large disturbances which from time to time affect these systems, often to an extent which few did consider possible.The overarching aim of this thesis is to advance analysis methods concerning large disturbance ev
OBJECTIVE:: Caesarean section (C-section) is associated with various immune-mediated diseases in the offspring. We investigated the relationship between mode of delivery and celiac disease (CD) and CD autoimmunity (CDA) in a multinational birth cohort. METHODS:: From 2004 to 2010 infants from the general population who tested positive for HLA DR3-DQ2 or DR4-DQ8 were enrolled in The Environmental D
Background: Human milk is a complex fluid comprised of myriad substances, with one of the most abundant substances being a group of complex carbohydrates referred to as human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). There has been some evidence that HMO profiles differ in populations, but few studies have rigorously explored this variability. Objectives: We tested the hypothesis that HMO profiles differ in d
Using qualitative content analysis on adverse drug reactions reports filed to an open Internet-based reporting system in Sweden, this study explored patients’ and consumers’ experiences of antidepressant treatment and the medical encounter. By scrutinizing free text comments in 181 individual consumer reports of adverse drug reactions, we could obtain important information about how people, as ind
Measurement of serum testosterone (T) levels is recommended in the evaluation of osteoporosis in older men and estradiol (E2) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) levels are associated with the rate of bone loss and fractures, but the clinical utility of sex steroid and SHBG measurements for the evaluation of osteoporosis in men has not been examined. To evaluate whether measurements of T, E2,
BACKGROUND: : Inherited mutations in the CDKN2A tumor suppressor gene, which encodes the p16(INK4a) protein, and in the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) gene confer susceptibility to cutaneous malignant melanoma. We analyzed families with two or more cases of melanoma for germline mutations in CDKN2A and CDK4 to elucidate the contribution of these gene defects to familial malignant melanoma and to
Background: The use of mapping algorithms have been suggested as a solution to predict health utilities when no preference-based measure is included in the study. However, validity and predictive performance of these algorithms are highly variable and hence assessing the accuracy and validity of algorithms before use them in a new setting is of importance. The aim of the current study was to asses
