Sinus node dysfunction (SND) causes significant morbidity in patients after Fontan surgery. Heart rate variability (HRV) reflects the autonomic regulation of the heart, and changes in HRV have been associated with SND in adults. We aimed to study whether changes in HRV could be detected in 24-h electrocardiographic (ECG) recordings in Fontan patients with SND. We compared HRV results from two pati
In silico tools for splicing defect prediction have a key role to assess the impact of variants of uncertain significance. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of a set of commonly used splicing in silico tools comparing the predictions against RNA in vitro results. This was done for natural splice sites of clinically relevant genes in hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome.

The European Union is currently managing two projects heading under the names Europe for Citizens Programme and Culture Programme. The main aims of these projects interconnect in several interesting ways; they both have to do with questions of a cultural heritage of Europe related to the EU-citizenship. Investigating the relationship between cultural patterns and the EU-citizenship is the central
The objective with this master thesis is to analyze how the service life of wood in ground contact, with regard to decay, varies between different test fields. Different factors are evaluated whether it is possible to estimate the service life of a specimen in a specific test field. Also the influence of the climate on the service life in different test fields is investigated by calculated climate
The reliability of energy supply is crucial for the well-being of individuals and the prosperityof countries. At the same time, energy production is closely connected to CO2 emissions,which is believed to have an important impact on human-induced global warming. In light ofresultant, partly counteracting challenges, energy efficiency has gained increasing attention as ameans of ensuring energy sup
The purpose of this essay is to examine if the ethics of journalism have been transformed during the so-called war on terrorism. The analysis is based on press material in Svenska Dagbladet from two comparative cases regarding the detention of Swedish citizen Mehdi Ghezali by the US and Pakistani government. The theoretical framework is based on the situation of ethics in contemporary internation
The European Union is a major global political actor both in fields of trade as well as that of human rights. While the union is engaged in holding their members responsible for human rights abuses and reducing world poverty through aid and beneficial trade, its trade policy is often subject to criticism. Such critique serves as a valuable gate opener to relevant trade policy documents for this es

In this paper I build upon the theory of endogenous economic growth to explain the presence or absence of convergence between the industrialized and the developing world. This is done by emphasizing the role of the business firm as an avenue to technological “catch up”. I suggest that the importance of knowledge incorporated within the private business firm and it’s effect on the process of techno
