Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis with a clear genetic component. To identify novel loci associated with hip OA we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on European subjects. Methods We performed a two-stage meta-analysis on more than 78 000 participants. In stage 1, we synthesised data from eight GWAS whereas data from 10 centres wer

The thesis deals with ritual remembrance ceremonies enacted in the three towns of Mostar, Jajce and Višegrad in BiH. The Old Bridge in Mostar, the Bridge over the Drina in Višegrad and the AVNOJ Museum in Jajce all carry a material presence that influences everyday life in these localities. Through ethnographic fieldwork, insights into local practices in relation to those World Heritage Sites are

Specific alterations (mutations, deletions, insertions) of virus genomes are crucial for the functional characterization of their regulatory elements and their expression products, as well as a prerequisite for the creation of attenuated viruses that could serve as vaccine candidates. Virus genome tailoring can be performed either by using traditionally cloned genomes as starting materials, follow

Title: The Impact on Cultural Distance on CBM&A success: A Holistic Approach Course: BUSN79 Authors: Oliver Julius Brännström, Yannick Michael Grotenburg Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to examine how cultural differences between U.S. acquiring companies and foreign targets influence the short-term value creation of CBM&As, using a more holistic and nuanced approach toward

Kosovo, världens 193:e land, blir den sjätte staten som bildats från den serbdominerade jugoslaviska federationen sedan 1991, efter Slovenien, Makedonien, Bosnien och Montenegro som blev världens nyaste stat 2006. Kosovos status som självständig stat är dock fortfarande omstridd. Frågan om Kosovo är ett internationellt subjekt som har en rätt till externt självbestämmande och därmed är ett subjektKosovo, the world’s 193rd country, will be the sixth state carved from the former Serbian-dominated Yugoslav federation since 1991, after Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Montenegro, which became the world’s newest state in 2006. Kosovo’s statehood is, however, still disputed. The question if Kosovo is a subject that has a right to external self-determination and therby hold international

Bakgrund Inläggning av central venaccess, exempelvis central venkateter (CVK), är en invasiv åtgärd som kräver sterila betingelser för att förhindra introduktionen av mikroorganismer till blodbanan med en ökad risk för kolonisation respektive kateterrelaterad infektion. Med ett strukturerat arbetskoncept kan man uppnå en infektionsincidens nära noll. Flera aspekter är betonade i riktlinjerna, men

Offentlig upphandling handlar om hur den offentliga sektorn ska agera vid inköp och har därmed en betydande påverkan på samhällsekonomin. Essentiella samhällsfunktioner som exempelvis sjukvård och skolor tillgodoses genom offentlig upphandling. Eftersom inköpen görs via skattemedel har samhällsmedborgare ett intresse av att förfarandet går rätt till. Vidare har leverantörer ett intresse av att förPublic procurement concerns how the public sector should act when making purchases and therefore has a great impact on the national economy. Fundamental societal functions such as healthcare and education are supported through public procurement. Because these purchases are made using tax revenue, citizens have an interest in ensuring that the procedure is conducted properly. Moreover, suppliers h

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn stod år 2020 för 21% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser (Boverket, 2023a). För att synliggöra och därigenom minska klimatpåverkan vid uppförandet av nya byggnader blev det den 1 januari 2022 obligatoriskt att genomföra klimatdeklaration av nya byggnader som kräver bygglov, med vissa undantag (Boverket, 2021a). Klimatdeklarationen ska redovisa klimatpåverkan från

The idea for nature based research design emerged in preparation of a workshop and subsequent exhibition regarding minimal surfaces, supervised by Andreas Hopf, Senior Lecturer at Lund University School of Industrial Design, and supported by Prof. Dr. Konrad Polthier (Chair Mathematical Geometry Processing, FU Berlin) at the DESIGNMAI digital crafts event in Berlin in 2007, for which Swedish desig

Purpose: Muda is a Japanese term literally meaning futility, uselessness, idleness, superfluity, waste, wastage or wastefulness. The term was introduced by the Japanese engineer Taiichi Ohno of Toyota Motor Corporation in the 1960s. Therefore, reducing and minimizing Muda is an effective way to increase the operational efficiency and productivity of an organization’s processes. In turn, the techni

A new global atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) real-time forecast is now available as part of the pre- operational Monitoring of Atmospheric Composition and Climate – Interim Implementation (MACC-II) service us- ing the infrastructure of the European Centre for Medium- Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Integrated Forecast- ing System (IFS). One of the strengths of the CO2 fore- casting system is that

Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is effective, but only 60-70% of patients benefit from the therapy. Despite numerous implantations, identification of predictive factors for response is still a challenge. We sought to assess the correlation of echocardiographic and clinical response to baseline demographics in relation to change in NT-proBNP levels at 6 months. Methods:

Bakgrund: En av hörnstenarna i palliativ vård handlar om att ge stöd till alla närstående. Enligt lagstiftning har sjukvården även en skyldighet att speciellt beakta barns behov av information, råd och stöd om barnets föräldrar eller någon annan vuxen som barnet varaktigt bor tillsammans med har en livshotande sjukdom eller avlidit.Syfte: Alla närstående inom Palliativ vård och ASIH i Skåne ska er

Background: Widespread implementation of Alzheimer's disease biomarkers in routine clinical practice requires the establishment of standard operating procedures for pre-analytical handling of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Here, CSF collection and storage protocols were optimized for measurements of β-amyloid (Aβ). We investigated the effects of (1) storage temperature, (2) storage time, (3)

Objectives: The aim is to estimate agreement between two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (2D-TVS) and three-dimensional volume contrast imaging (3D-VCI) in diagnosing deep myometrial invasion (MI) and cervical stromal involvement (CSI) of endometrial cancer and to compare the two methods regarding inter-rater reliability and diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Fifteen ultrasound experts assessed off
