Childhood cancer survivors face risks from a variety of late effects, including cardiac events, second cancers, and late mortality. The aim of the pan-European PanCare Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivor Care and Follow-Up Studies (PanCareSurFup) Consortium was to collect data on incidence and risk factors for these late effects among childhood cancer survivors in Europe. This paper describes

The aim of this article is to analyse popular neuroimaging of (dis)able(d) brains as a cultural phenomenon, as well as to explore how there has been, during the last decades, a subtle but important change in the way “normal” brains are depicted in popular science. Popular neuroimaging is introduced and used as an empirical basis to analyse what Fiona Kumari Campbell sees as a critique against able

Ferrofluids based on insulating liquids are intensively studied as a potential substitute of liquid dielectric in high voltage technologies. In this work we focus on the experimental investigation of flow and thermal transport characteristics of a ferrofluid based on transformer oil (Mogul) and iron oxide nanoparticles. The magneto-rheological behavior of the ferrofluid was studied by a rotational

The aim of this study was to investigate hydrogen mobility within innate and demineralized human dentine. Dentine sections from extracted human molars, demineralized or not, were analyzed by combining neutron spectroscopy with thermal analysis. For the thermal analysis of the samples, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis, coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectr

A model of (Formula presented.) atmospheric transport in vegetated canopies is tested against measurements of the flow, as well as (Formula presented.) concentrations at the Norunda research station located inside a mixed pine–spruce forest. We present the results of simulations of wind-speed profiles and (Formula presented.) concentrations inside and above the forest canopy with a one-dimensional

The design of buildings using multilayer constructions poses a challenge for fire safety and needs to be understood. Narrow air gaps and cavities are common in many constructions, e.g. ventilated façade systems. In these construction systems flames can enter the cavities and fire can spread on the interior surfaces of the cavities. An experimental program was performed to investigate the influence

An atmospheric pressure aerosol-based wet thin film coating technique called the nFOG is characterized and applied in polymer film coatings. In the nFOG, a fog of droplets is formed by two air-assist atomizers oriented toward each other inside a deposition chamber. The droplets settle gravitationally and deposit on a substrate, forming a wet film. In this study, the continuous deposition mode of t

The article tells the story of the rise and fall of the organic store Yggdrasill in Iceland. That story features humble founders, caring customers, dedicated staff, as well as anonymous investment funds, and it describes the conversion of organics from a niche market to mainstream consumption. Through an ethnographic account of everyday life at the organic store, the article analyzes how intimacy

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is currently incurable, but there is general agreement that a minimally invasive blood biomarker for screening in preclinical stages would be crucial for future therapy. Diagnostic tools for detection of AD are either invasive like cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers or expensive such as positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. Here, we determine the secondary structu

The longitudinal study started with children aged up to 4 who had been taken into care because of unacceptable living conditions and deficient parental care. After their initial stay in a children's home, the 26 children in the research group went on to have diverse placement histories throughout their childhood (up to age 18). The children have been divided into 4 subgroups in accordance with the

Since the accomplishment of the first conventional securitisation transaction in the beginning of the 1980's, both conventional- and synthetic securitisation have played an important role in corporate finance and risk management. Banks and corporations have used these advanced financial instruments to, for example, obtain new funding for big investments, improve balance sheet characteristics a

The state of California is using a certain model of private judging called rent-a-judge. The subject matter of this thesis is the public policy problems surrounding the rent-a-judge and the constitutional problems it creates. These problems arise mainly because of the hybrid form of the system. On one side, rent-a-judge gives decisions equivalent to state courts' and on the other side, it is a

Den 27 september år 2000 kom Kommissionen med ett förslag till en ny förordning om genomförandet av konkurrensreglerna i artiklarna 81 och 82 i EG-fördraget. För närvarande regleras tillämpningen av artiklarna av förordning nr 17 från 1962 som dras med stora problem. När den antogs var konkurrensrätt ett nytt fenomen i Europa. Det saknades både nationell lagstiftning och nationella konkurrensmyndi

I Sverige, liksom i många andra länder, finns sedan länge en tradition av muntlighet vid rättegångsförfarandet. Denna ordning anses utgöra bäst underlag för bevisvärdering och argumentation. I svenska förvaltningsrättsliga mål har denna muntlighetsprincip dock inte fått genomslag, utan i dessa mål är förfarandet normalt skriftligt. Efter andra världskrigets slut var det uppenbart att skyddet för m

Development of innovative drugs is a lengthy, risky and expensive enterprise, and the research-based pharmaceutical industry depends uniquely on intellectual property rights, e.g. patents and regulatory data protection to support its investments in drug development activities. After the expiry of intellectual property rights for original drugs, generic drugs may enter the market. A generic drug is

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur tillämpningen av bestämmelsen i 7 kap. 16 § sekretesslagen påverkar den svenska offentlighetsprincipen. Bestämmelsen aktualiseras när en myndighet får in en begäran om utlämnande av allmän handling innehållande personuppgifter. 7 kap. 16 § stadgar nämligen att ett sådant utlämnande är förbjudet om det kan antas att uppgiften kommer att behandlas i stri
