Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects adults and children and has a negative impact on quality of life. The present multicentre randomized double-blind controlled trial showed a barrier-improving cream (5% urea) to be superior to a reference cream in preventing eczema relapse in patients with AD (hazard ratio 0.634, p = 0.011). The risk of eczema relapse was reduced by 37% (95% confidence interval (95% C

Complement analysis in the clinic is usually associated with the quantification of C3 and C4, measurement of C1-inhibitor and screening for complement activity. These analyses have been available in routine diagnostic laboratories for decades. In recent years, however, the field of complement analysis has expanded considerably, with the introduction of novel assays to detect complement activation

Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promem

This thesis develops an application-oriented framework to identify and predict residential demand-side flexibility from the temporal structure of electricity use, rather than energy totals. We construct structure-based, price-aligned labels that track shifts between peak and off-peak hours, and train three complementary models: a next-day behavioral classifier (M1) for short-horizon operations, a

Transdisciplinary research (TDR) seeks to involve non-academic perspectives from the start, ensuring that research draws on diverse knowledge to better address “wicked” problems. Since TDR researchers have to engage with non-academic perspectives throughout the research process, this chapter focuses on the kind of communication practices that are appropriate and effective for engaging with people

Additive manufacturing enables multi-material functionally graded materials (FGMs) with expanded functionality, yet post-machining remains challenging because flow stress varies with composition. This paper presents a data-efficient, physics-guided Gaussian process (GP) model for predicting milling forces in SS316/IN718 FGMs without repeated force-coefficient identification. A physics-based millin

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major form of primary liver cancer in adults. Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses and alcohol abuse are the major factors leading to HCC. This deadly cancer affects more than 500,000 people worldwide and it is quite resistant to conventional chemo- and radiotherapy. Genetic and epigenetic studies on HCC may help to understand be

As one of the successful approaches to GaAs surface passivation, wet-chemical nitridation is applied here to relate the effect of surface passivation to carrier recombination processes in bulk GaAs. By combining time-resolved photoluminescence and optical pump-THz probe measurements, we found that surface hole trapping dominates the decay of photoluminescence, while photoconductivity dynamics is l

The surface tension of adipic aqueous solution has been measured as a function of temperature (T = 278-313 K) and adipic acid mole fraction (X = 0.000-0.003) using the Wilhelmy plate method. A parameterization fitted to these data is presented. The evaporation rates of binary water-malonic and water-adipic acid droplets have been measured with a TDMA-technique at different temperatures (T = 293-30

Sverige har beslutat att år 2020 implementera barnkonventionen och konventionen blir då erkänd som svensk rätt. Barnets rätt att komma till tals i alla förfaranden som berör barnet är en grundläggande princip i barnkonventionen. Norge implementerade barnkonventionen år 2003 vilket resulterade i att barnets rättigheter stärktes. Barnets rätt att komma till tals är lagstadgad i föräldrabalken men tSweden has decided to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2020. The child’s right to be listened to in all procedures involving it, is a fundamental principle of the convention. Norway implemented the convention in 2003 which resulted in enhanced respect for the child’s right. The right of the child to be listened to is prescribed by law in the Children and Parents Code. Despite

Some theological schools consider the human conscience to be subordinate as a means to revelation of God’s nature compared to the biblical text. This can lead the reader of these texts to do violence to their own conscience by conforming it to the perceived biblical witness, although the two (the reader’s conscience and the biblical witness) can appear as in stark contrast to one another. A cognit

In this thesis the strategic behaviour of the three operators (Televerket/Telia, PTT Telecom and BT) on strong technological development and deregulation of the business during a period of fifteen years have been described, interpreted and analysed. Some thirty more operators have also been investigated in this respect - however not in depth. The strategic behaviour of the operators have been comp

Abstract The purpose of the study is to examine if the use of state aid in the EU have increased or decreased and especially the use of state aid to support the manufacturing sector. The development of total state aid in relation to GDP and sectoral distribution of total aid are studied. So is state aid to the manufacturing sector and its different objectives and forms, since this sector is grante

Before going into details and regulations behind the safeguard measures it's important to understand the basic starting point. The members of WTO all agree to have tariffs at a certain level and the member countries are prohibited to raise the tariffs above this level. This makes the system predictable&semic every one knows the tariff levels. Speaking in a broad sense one can say that this

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neuropsychiatric condition containing a large spectrum of developmental disorders. The diagnosed condition is increasing among people today. With this in mind, there is also a growing need for competence and experience with services and organizations providing care for this target group. The aim of this study was therefore to examine what competence and experien

This thesis started with a desire to delve into the impact that natural disasters have on small communities in an Australian context, how climate change exacerbates their effect, and the role that design can play in mitigating the impact on people and the natural environment. Initial research into bushfires, drought, floods, and heat landed this project in Western Sydney, in an area not far from w

The space of open source supply chain attacks is ever evolving and growing. There is extensive previous work identifying and collecting open source supply chain attacks, as well as identifying patterns in these attacks and proving that machine learning models may be able to detect these patterns. The aim of this thesis is to develop such a system and study its efficacy in detecting attacks. To ac
