The fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene, located within chromosome arm 3p, is a potential target for testicular tumorigenesis. In the present study, 62 primary testicular germ cell tumors were analyzed for allelic imbalance (AI) at 10 loci mapping to chromosome bands 3p14.1-21.1. Twenty-seven tumors (44%) showed AI at one or more 3p loci. The chromosome 3 copy number was evaluated by fluorescence

Aims and objectives. This study aimed at investigating life satisfaction and its relation to living conditions, overall health, self-care capacity, feeling lonely, physical activities and financial resources among people (65+) with reduced self-care capacity. Background. Knowledge about factors related to low life satisfaction among older people with reduced self-care capacity is sparse, although

Betydelsen och innebörden av konsumenttjänstlagens fackmässighetsbegrepp som återfinns i 4 § KtjL är svårdefinierbar. Lagen som tillämpas på flera olika typer av tjänster saknar en specifik definition på en tjänsts praktiska utförande. Begreppet fackmässighet baseras på hur branschen ser ut, vilka metoder som används och vilka regler som gäller i nuläget. Detta arbete har haft som syfte att redaThe Consumer Services Act´s professional execution, which can be found in § 4 KtjL, has generated a wide array of interpretations. The law is applicable to several different varieties of services and therefor lacks a specific and coherent definition of how a service should be performed. The concept of professionalism is based on the type of business, what methods are used and which rules that curr

The city of Stockholm has increased its number of surveillance cameras in public places the last few years in the name of crime prevention. However, as the number of cameras increases, how does this affect the people living in the city? This paper examines how surveillance cameras affect young women between the ages of 18-24 and their perception in different area around Sergels torg, T-Centralen a

In this essay I’ll be doing a Crip Reading of two Swedish young adult novels, Här ligger jag och blöder and Jag är ju så jävla easy going. By using Crip Theory and “Skevteori”, I examine how disabilities are constructed and performed within the text, as well as how it's talked about and viewed among the novels’ characters. I also examine how disabilities interact with gender and how some sympt

The purpose of this paper was, via broad application, to empirically test and examine the theoretical framework of communicative transference, as proposed by Broström (2023a). The paper aimed at studying the transfer of communication taking place between medical and legal systems, with a specific focus on the defendants' neurological circumstances within the district courts of Sweden, during t

Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for

The aim of Copenhagen municipality to attract socio-economically strong residents with its green infrastructure strategy inspired the analysis which aimed to assess whether improving access green areas in the city has had any impact on socio-economic mobility of its residents. Additionally, the concerns of potential displacement of socio-economically weaker residents warranted consideration of how

Background: The well-established core biomarkers used to identify Alzheimer's disease (AD) overlap with other dementia disorders such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD). This study aimed to evaluate whether the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-beta (A beta)(1-42)/A beta(1-40) ratio, measured by a novel method, could improve the differential diagnosis of

In the production of ethanol from lignocellulosic material, it is necessary to reach a high ethanol concentration after fermentation. Simply increasing the substrate concentration leads to stirring problems and inhibition of the enzymes and yeast in the process. Batch simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of steam-pretreated spruce with 13.7% water-insoluble solids (WIS) (25% total

Scand J Caring Sci; 2012 Adaptation to Swedish and further development of the 'Consequences of Screening - Breast Cancer' questionnaire: a multimethod study Rationale: Experiencing a false-positive screening mammography can cause considerable psychosocial distress. The Consequences of Screening - Breast Cancer questionnaire (COS-BC parts 1 and 2), recently developed in Denmark, is the only conditi

BACKGROUND: The method for red marrow dosimetry in radioimmunotherapy, in the absence of specific activity uptake in red marrow, is based on the activity measured in the blood or plasma. The activity concentration ratio of red marrow to blood is then assumed to be constant. The aim of the current study was to determine whether this ratio varies with time after injection. METHODS: Measurements were

Antileukoproteinase (ALP) is a physiological inhibitor of granulocytic serine proteases that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to its antiproteolytic activity. On the basis of its potential to block anti-collagen type II (CII) antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) and to suppress the conformational activation of beta(2)-integrins in leukocytes, the present study was under

The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect has influenced the United Nations’ Security Council in its resolutions from 2006 and 2007 with regard to the humanitarian situation in the Sudanese province of Darfur. The Responsibility to Protect was first introduced into the global community in 2001, serving as a response to the debate regarding intervent

The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between nostalgia, brand perception and brand community, aiming to provide insight in effectively revitalizing through brand extension. Further, we aim to assess whether a shift in brand perception is a prerequisite for brand revitalization. This qualitative study utilized focus groups to explore the use of nostalgia in brand extensions and i

The Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveal thick deposits of coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association; a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Preliminary OSL dating of the sandur sediments suggest that they are of a pre-Saalian age (>200 000 years). Of special interest here is, besides its pre-LGM age, the large-scale and intense

På Älgön, SV Sverige, finns en anortosit-norit intrusion tillhörande Hakefjordenkomplexet. Det finns dessutom två tillhörande enheter; en marginell monzonorit och en centralt belägen ilmenitberikad norit (IRL). I den ilmenitberikade noriten finns även olika sorters aggregat av Fe-Ti oxider. Genom att undersöka Mn-innehållet i ilmenit i alla litologiska enheter var det möjligt att få fram en kronolThe Hakefjorden Complex is an anorthosite-norite intrusion at Älgön, SW Sweden. There are two lithological units associated with it; a marginal monzonorite and a central Ilmenite-Rich Leuconorite (IRL). In the IRL there is a variety of aggregates of Fe-Ti oxides. By investigating Mn-content of ilmenite from all lithological units a chronological order of crystallization could be assessed; oxide ag
