Identification of novel biomarkers for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decision will be instrumental for improving disease outcome for patients suffering from complex diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune disorders. Within personalized medicine, the use of circulating biomarkers will allow clinicians to tailor medical treatment based on individual characteristics of each patient, using

In the mythological texts from Ugarit in modern Syria (probably 14th century BC), the motif of the deadly, drought-inducing sun plays a large part: the burning sun casts its destroying rays as a result of the power and influence of death, especially the god of death himself, Mot. However, the solar goddess Shapshu is in other cases portrayed as quite a benevolent entity. In this paper, I discuss t

The thermal stresses in a concrete bridge are affected by the surrounding climate. Varying temperature will produce movements which, if restrained, may induce stresses in the structure. To predict the thermal stresses due to climatic effects in concrete box cross-sections, FE simulations have been performed with extensive climatic input data to simulate the temperature and resulting stress fields

This study explores the value added contribution of informal investors in the entrepreneurial process, something that up to date has received very limited attention. By analyzing the life experience and career background of four informal investors the study examines the personal resources these individuals build up and develop during their careers and how these experientially acquired resources fa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antagonistiska hot mot godstransporter och logistik såsom stölder, smuggling, förfalskningar och terroristaktiviteter utgör ett stort och ofta förbisett problem. Bara i Sverige beräknas stölder under transport kosta samhället ca 1 miljard kronor årligen. Denna avhandling visar att många svenska transportföretag trots detta inte investerar i lösningar för att förbättra sThe objective of this study is to understand what factors influence the security of physical distribution networks. Thereafter it aims to bring to light what security measures exist today to enhance security and finally how to determine the profitability of security investments.
Eight stakeholders affecting security in physical distribution networks are identified and combined into a Physical

Popular Abstract in Swedish Till alla de som har undrat vad det är som jag har hållit på med under alla dessa år men inte vågat att fråga. Jag har arbetat med kloning av gener som kodar för olika enzymer. Enzymer finns i alla levande celler och fungerar som katalysatorer (hjälpare) i olika biokemiska reaktioner. Deras uppgift är att påskynda reaktionshastigheten utan att själva förbrukas i reaktiPart I: Plant peroxidases are useful in many areas of application e.g. as tracer enzymes for clinical applications and in biosensors as well as for industrial purposes like in waste water treatment and bleaching processes. A gene encoding a new, neutral horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme, HRP-n, was isolated. The encoded protein shows only 50% sequence identity with the classical HRP-C and lacks the

Den nya socialtjänstlagen har fått förödande konsekvenser för samhällets mest utsatta. En enkätundersökning i tio kommuner omfattande samtliga tjänstemän inom socialtjänsten visar att åtta av tio anser att den nya lagen försämrat rättsskyddet för de sämst ställda. Två av tre inom socialtjänsten uppfattar dessutom den nya lagstiftningen som ett direktiv för att prioritera hemförsäkringar före missb
