The radiocarbon concentration of different atherosclerotic plaque fragments obtained from 20 patients in Portugal, operated in 2000-2001, has been measured in order to define the year of plaque formation. A difference of 1.8-15 yr was observed, with the mean and median both 9 yr, between the bomb-pulse date estimated with the CALIBomb software and the operation date. Stable isotope (delta C-13 and
Around 90% of the energy requirement for urban water systems management is for heating domestic tap water. In addition, the energy content of wastewater is mainly in the form of heat (85%). Hence, there is an obvious interest in recovering a large portion of this heat. However, city-wide scenario analyses that evaluate heat recovery at various locations while considering impacts on wastewater trea
Previous research showed that living closer to bus stops could be a factor in promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. However, most of the studies relied on self-reported measures of distance, which might be affected by several confounders. In this study, self-reported distances among study participants were compared to actual ones, computed by the use of GIS (Geographic Information System) tech
Purpose: Forensic populations have high prevalence rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACE), but specific pathways from childhood victimization to adult victimizing behavior remain unclear. Difficulties in emotion regulation may prove to be a more proximal risk factor that functions as a pathway between ACE and aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB). In this study, we investigated concurrent ass
Neuroblastoma is a childhood tumor derived from primordial neural crest cells. The tumor cells exhibit a phenotype similar to that of developing neuroblasts, which indicates that the tumor arises due to perturbed differentiation of the sympathetic nervous system. It is well established that transcription factors control the steps leading to neuronal differentiation, and a number of basic helix-loo
The aim of this thesis was to investigate how ultrasound can be used in the diagnostic work-up of women with post-menopausal bleeding (PMB) to optimise and individualise their management. The thesis is based on six studies comprising post-menopausal women with (Study I-VI) and without (Study VI) abnormal bleeding. The clinical value of conventional ultrasound, with or without saline infusion (hyd
The sex trade is a market in constant change and, as a result of digitalization, has been given different conditions in the form of new arenas, conditions, and risks. This study aims to shed light on how women who have lived in prostitution describe the sex trade, focusing on how they describe power and control in the different areas of the sex trade. We have taken our empirical material from four
In the background of intensifying global climate change and rapid urbanisation, the frequent occurrence of extreme hydrological events and the increase in surface pollution pose serious challenges to the environmental quality of water bodies. Moreover, with the significant increase in public awareness of environmental protection, higher demands have been placed on water quality monitoring techniqu
Den samtida och framtida brassbandskompositionen" är ett examensarbete som syftar till att, utifrån ett tonsättarperspektiv, undersöka musik som är komponerad för brassbandstävlingar och identifiera de komponenter som behövs i både komposition och instrumentation för att skapa såväl en konstnärlig produkt som tävlingsförutsättningar. För att genomföra detta har författaren Daniel Möllås - tiThe contemporary and future brass band composition" is a thesis which, from a composers point of view, aims to investigate music composed for brass band competitions and to identify the components needed in both composition and instrumentation, in order to create an artistic product as well as conditions for competing. To accomplish this, the author Daniel Möllås - also a composition student
This study explores the strategic implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector, focusing on minimizing resistance through effective stakeholder engagement. As AI increasingly influences decision-making in healthcare, resistance from key stakeholders such as employees and management presents a significant challenge. This research investigates the causes and reasons for va
This research paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the barriers hindering the integration of sustainability in construction companies, with a focus on understanding both internal and external barriers influencing this transition. Through the analysis of the viewpoints of various stakeholders, such as project managers, frontline employees, and business executives, this paper aims
Denna uppsats syftar till att rikta uppmärksamhet mot svensk reglering av genitala ingrepp på minderåriga, mer specifikt lagen (2001:499) om omskärelse av pojkar och lagen (1982:316) med förbud mot könsstympning av kvinnor. Som framgår redan här finns två olika regleringar att tillämpa, beroende på vilket fysiskt könsorgan ingreppet riktas mot. I uppsatsen granskas dessa två regleringar. Fokus är
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur anställda på en skatte- och revisionsbyrå upplever organisatoriska förändringar samt hur organisationens kommunikation kan påverka dessa upplevelser och tilliten till organisationen. Studien genomfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio anställda i olika roller på en skatte- och revisionsbyrå i Sverige. Urvalet v
