Aims Immediate treatment with a loading dose of clopidogrel at diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is recommended by ESC/AHA/ACC guidelines in patients eligible for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the evidence for this practice is scarce. Methods and results All patients who underwent PCI for STEMI in Sweden between 2003 and 2008 were identifi

Previously we reported the presence of anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) specific to autoantibodies against GAD65 (GAD65Ab) in healthy individuals while the activity of anti-Id directed to GAD65Ab in T1D patients was significantly lower. These anti-Id recognize the antigen binding site of GAD65Ab, thus preventing their binding to GAD65. Here we characterized the IgG subclass profile of these ant

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:In studies performed in mice, rose hip powder has been shown to both prevent and reverse high-fat diet-induced obesity and glucose intolerance as well as reduce plasma levels of cholesterol. The aim of this study was to investigate whether daily intake of rose hip powder over 6 weeks exerts beneficial metabolic effects in obese individuals.SUBJECTS/METHODS:A total of 31 obese

Carotenoids and vitamin C are thought to be associated with reduced cancer risk because of their antioxidative capacity.

The objective was to study obesity and insulin resistance in relation to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and occupational physical activity (OPA) in a Swedish population, with particular focus on sex differences. Using a cross-sectional design, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), glucose/insulin metabolism, blood pressure, heart rate, self-reported education, smoking, alcohol consump

The focus of my thesis has been the Swedish lay judges. My purpose has been to examine the Swedish system of lay judges and furthermore study it in relation to legal certainty. My major problem statement has been: In accordance with legal certainty, what advantages and disadvantages can be seen with the system of lay judges? The Swedish lay judges participate primarily in district and appellate c

The purpose of the thesis is to examine to what extent former high ranking state officials are immune for international crimes before foreign national courts. Historically national courts have recognized absolute immunity, but this approach has gradually to some extent changed after the establishment of international tribunals and the International Criminal Court in which official capacity is irre

Våld i nära relationer och särskilt mäns våld mot kvinnor, anses idag utgöra ett allvarligt samhällsproblem. Det finns studier som visar att ungefär vart tionde barn i Sverige någon gång har upplevt våld mellan närstående vuxna. Detta kan få förödande konsekvenser för barnet i form av både fysiska och psykiska skador. Att låta barn bevittna våld eller andra brottsliga gärningar mellan närstående äViolence in close relationships and especially men’s violence against women, is today considered a social problem. There are studies showing that approximately every tenth child in Sweden has ever experienced violence between related adults. This can cause devastating consequences for a child, such as both physical and mental injuries. Letting children witness violence or other criminal acts betwe

Denna uppsats handlar om den delen av kvinnorörelsens historia där kvinnors rätt till högre statstjänster berörs. I takt med industrialiseringen förändrades det svenska samhället och medförde att kvinnor tog plats på arbetsmarknaden på ett helt annat sätt än tidigare. Sedan mitten av 1800-talet var kvinnor aktiva på den statliga arbetsmarknaden och fick tillträde till universitetsstudier i början This essay is about the part of the history of the women's movement where women's right to higher civil service is affected. In time as the industrialization happened, Swedish society changed which resulted in that women took their place in the labor market in a completely different way than before. Since the middle of the 19th century, women were active in the state labor market and gaine

Barsebäcks kärnkraftverk driftsattes 1975 och den första reaktorn togs ur drift 1999 och den andra 2005. Nedmontering och rivning av kärnkraftverket har inletts och processen beräknas vara klar på 2030-talet. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att kartlägga eventuell radioaktiv kontamination i området runt Barsebäcksverket. Mitt mål är att ta fram en metod för att särskilja bakgrundsstrålning från Background and aim: The Barsebäck nuclear power plant (NPP) units ceased operations in 1999 and 2005. Now the NPP is in the phase of decommissioning, which is a complicated process that will take many years to complete. Radiological characterization of the surrounding area is a part of the decommissioning process. The aim of this thesis was to identify and quantify residual anthropogenic radioacti

En uppskattning på en fjärdedel av all våld som sker i nära relationer anmäls till polisen. Våld i nära relationer är komplex i sin natur som i sin tur orsakar ett omfattande mörkertal. Första gången en kvinna utsätts för våld tror hon att det är en engångsföreteelse. Efter ett antal upprepade våldshandlingar förskjuts hennes gränser och hennes verklighet cirkulerar kring mannens verklighet. Hon iAn estimate around a quarter of victims by domestic violence is reported to the police. Violence in intimate relationships has a complex nature that causes substantial number of unrecorded cases. The first time a woman is subjected to violence, she thinks it is a one-time occurrence. After a number of repeated acts of violence, her boundaries shift and her reality revolves around the man's rea

Asfalt är den vanligaste vägbeläggningstypen i Sverige. Asfalt består av bitumen, filler, sten-material och eventuella tillsatser. Stenmaterialet utgör huvuddelen av asfaltmassan och ska ta upp trafiklasterna. När bitumen blandas med filler bildar det ett asfaltbruk som binder samman stenmaterialet till en beläggning. En väsentlig del för beläggningen är att den har rätt egen-skaper för det avseddThe Master Thesis was set to study the possibility to measure the rheological properties of bitumen-filler mastic with RVB (Rotational Viscometer type Brookfield) and DSR (Dy-namic Shear Rheometer). This was carried out with an initial study, with promising results, from the RVB. It is known that filler has a stiffening effect when mixed with bitumen (FAS Method 253-02) and this was also confirmed

Ändtarmscancer är en av de vanligast förekommande cancersjukdomarna. Tillsammans med tjocktarmscancer är det den tredje vanligaste cancersjukdomen i världen. Den behandlas vanligen med kirurgi, under vilken en stor del av ändtarmen och dess omgivande fettvävnad tas bort. För att minska risken för återfall kan operationen kompletteras med strålbehandling, där patienterna oftast strålbehandlas innanBackground and purpose: During radiotherapy, rectal cancer patients show inter-fractional internal motion that effects the delivered dose distribution. The purpose of this work is to study I) the inter-fractional bladder volume change, II) the effect of bladder volume change on bowel dose distribution, III) the effect of bladder optimization on the relationship between bladder volume and bowel dos

This paper presents the outcomes of an applied cultural study carried out during spring semester 2010 with more than 10 Chinese female postgraduate students in Swedish universities. The aims of this research were to investigate Chinese female postgraduates’ decision-making process, to understand university lives in Sweden with the main focus on their learning experiences and social activities, and

Chemical Loping Combustion (CLC) is a novel combustion technology in which the exhaust gas is inherently divided into oxygen depleted air in one stream and CO2 and water vapour in another. This is however under the ideal condition that the fuel conversion is complete, i.e. all the hydrocarbons in the fuel is transformed to heat, water vapour and CO2. The CO2 capture rate can under such ideal condi

Background: We recently demonstrated that increased expression of the RNA-binding protein RBM3 is associated with a favourable prognosis in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic value of RBM3 mRNA and protein expression in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and the cisplatin response upon RBM3 depletion in a cisplatin-sensitive ovarian cancer cell line. Methods: RBM3 mRNA

Background: Innate defence mechanisms of the airways are impaired in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), predisposing patients to lower respiratory tract infections, but less is known about the association with other infections. In this population-based cohort study, we investigated the associations between COPD and invasive bacterial disease by comparing incidence rates of bacteraemia i
