It is currently unclear whether plasma biomarkers can be used as independent prognostic tools to predict changes associated with early Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we sought to address this question by assessing whether plasma biomarkers can predict changes in amyloid load, tau accumulation, brain atrophy and cognition in non-demented individuals. To achieve this, plasma amyloid-β 42/40 (Aβ
BACKGROUND: The Predicting Bleeding Complications in Patients Undergoing Stent Implantation and Subsequent Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (PRECISE-DAPT) score has been shown to predict out-of-hospital major bleeding after myocardial infarction treated with percutaneous coronary intervention and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). However, large validation studies have been scarce and the discriminative a
Background/aim: In ED chest pain patients, a 0-hour/1-hour protocol based on high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) tests combined with clinical risk stratification in diagnosing acute coronary syndrome is recommended. Two of the most promising risk stratification tools are the History, ECG, Age, Risk Factors and Troponin (HEART) and Emergency Department Assessment of Chest Pain (EDAC) scor
Background and aims Neutrophil-derived heparin binding protein (HBP; also known as azurocidin or CAP-37) is a key player in bacterial sepsis and a promising biomarker in severe infections. The aims of this study were to assess whether HBP is involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and, if so, whether it can be used to predict severe disease preferably using a point-of-care test. Methods This w
Wild bees are declining in many parts of the world, which poses a risk for crop pollination and ecosystem health. Land use and climate change are two of the main drivers of the decline, and understanding the interactive effects of these two drivers and wild bees is very important to be able to develop proper responses and mitigate future negative effects. In this thesis I have investigated the eff

År 2014 infördes en möjlighet till nedsättningen av arbetsgivaravgifter för personer som arbetar med forskning och utveckling (FoU), hädanefter kallat forskningsavdrag. Syftet var att stärka Sveriges tillväxtmöjligheter genom att skapa incitament för företag att satsa på FoU-projekt, men reglerna har kritiserats på grund av upplevda brister i rättssäkerheten. Näringslivsrepresentanter hävdar att r
Skattelagstiftning styrs av principer, som ibland kan säga emot varandra och då behöva vägas mot varandra. I förarbeten redogör lagstiftaren för hur denna bedömning ser ut, och det är möjligt att genom förarbeten analysera vilka principer lagstiftaren behandlar, hur de behandlas och hur de vägs mot varandra. Det finns olika sätt att dela in skatterättsliga principer; ett sätt är att dela in dem i Tax law is governed by principles, that sometimes may contradict each other and then need to be weighed against each other. In preparatory works the lawmaker gives their account for how the assessment of principles looks like, and it’s possible through preparatory works to analyse which principles the lawmaker considers, how they’re considered, and how they’re weighed against each other. There are
Idag har företagens varumärken gått från enbart det traditionella i form av en figur eller ett ord, antingen separat eller i kombination, till varumärkesportföljer som även inkluderar icke-visuella varumärken, vilka benämns inom varumärkesrätten som okonventionella varumärken. Till okonventionella varumärken hör bland annat ljudmärken, doftmärken, färgmärken, formmärken och även hologram. Hur denCorporate trademarks today have developed from solely a traditional form, meaning shape or word, together or in combination, to complete trademark portfolios that even include non-visual trademarks, referenced in trademark law as unconventional trademarks. Trademarks within audio, scent, color, form and even holograms are incorporated under unconventional trademarks. How this development has progr
Rammed earth is commonly used to construct traditional Bhutanese buildings. In colder areas, the thermal performance of these buildings is poor leading to the easy ingress of cold air demanding more heating energy to make a comfortable indoor climate. Modern insulation materials are not common in Bhutan due to the lack of knowledge on the advantage of thermal insulating materials, the unavaila

Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel
Aluminium alloys are used in a wide range of applications due to their high tensile strength concomitant with low density. Additionally, aluminium alloys form a naturally occurring and passivating oxide layer, which leads to high corrosion and weathering resistance. In industrial manufacturing, aluminium alloys acquire their desired properties through specially designed heating processes. A common

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats behandlar det som kommit att kallas ”kvinnorabatt”, gällande kvinnor i egenskap av gärningsmän vid grova våldsbrott ur perspektivet likhet inför lagen. För att se till detta har en mängd variabler beaktats och analyserats, för att genom ett bredare perspektiv finna vad en sådan eventuell särbehandling kan bero på. Att kvinnor särbehandlas inom rättsväsendet uppmärksamSummary This paper discusses what has come to be called "women's discount", regarding women as offenders for serious crimes of violence from the perspective of equality before the law. To ensure this, a number of variables considered and analyzed, to the broader perspective of finding what any such special treatment may depend on. Women in the judiciary received particular attention
Background and purpose: Angiosarcoma (AS), a rare and highly malignant tumour, can manifest spontaneously (primary AS, pAS) or secondary to previous radiation, exposure to chemical agents or Stewart-Treves syndrome (secondary AS, sAS). The aim of this study was to characterise the clinical presentation, management, treatment and outcome—including local recurrence, metastasis and overall survival—a
