Background We present 2DDB, a bioinformatics solution for storage, integration and analysis of quantitative proteomics data. As the data complexity and the rate with which it is produced increases in the proteomics field, the need for flexible analysis software increases. Results 2DDB is based on a core data model describing fundamentals such as experiment description and identified proteins. The
In order to achieve optimal diagnostic performance in breast tomosynthesis (BT) imaging, the parameters of the imaging chain should be evaluated. For the purpose of such evaluations, a simulation procedure based on the Monte Carlo code system Penelope and the geometry of a Siemens BT system has been developed to generate BT projection images. In this work, the simulation procedure is validated by
OBJECTIVE. We re-evaluated a cohort of patients referred for reflux symptoms and objectively diagnosed with pathological reflux, with the purpose of clarifying the course of conservatively treated gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). MATERIAL AND METHODS. All consecutive patients with GERD diagnosed between 1984 and 1988 showing pathologic 24-h pH-metry in the interval 3.8-10% and without any p
School refusal (SR) can have several negative consequences, but effective treatments are available. When chronic, school absence requires comprehensive treatment. This study evaluates an intervention for SR based on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model, Hemmasittarprogrammet (HSP). Attendance, anxiety, depression, quality of life, and emotional and behavioral symptoms were measured at pre-tr
The 54Fe nucleus was populated from a 56Fe beam with an energy of E=A=500 MeV. The internal decay of the 10+ metastable state via g-ray emission was observed. The structure of this isomeric state has to involve at least four unpaired nucleons, therefore it cannot be populated in a simple two-neutron removal reaction from the ground state of 56Fe, and we suggest that it was populated via the decay
Objective: To study how Schenker can work with packaging related issues to achieve business advantages. Problem: How is the package an important part of the supply chain? Who should make demands on packaging? Is a transportation company a main actor to help improving packaging? Is working with packaging logistics valuable for Schenker? Which requirements should the transportation company have
In the light of the debate about the nature of the European Union, the current study proposes to look at how the EU is perceived by its policy-makers. The purpose of the study is to identify how the EU is understood in normative terms. Another aim of the study is to speculate as to why this kind of understanding is preferred in the documents. In order to achieve that, the study employs theoretical
Chemical Management Services (CMS), an application of Product Service Systems (PSS) in the chemical sector, attempts to optimise chemical consumption patterns. CMS works by changing the fundamental relationship between chemical suppliers and chemical customers and providing incentives to both to reduce the quantity of chemicals used. CMS is gaining increasing popularity as a tool for cost savings
The purpose of this study is to compare the process regarding sustainable development in Sweden and Norway. Furthermore the study aims to identify successful or potentially successful activities that have been initiated by public authorities.
Visual inspection in order to assure quality control is a challenging field that is attracting increasing interest after a long period of silence due to the trust and hope in computers and automation. Human visual inspection is however a challenging area as it requires the designer of the system to take in to account demands and limitations of technical, economic and psychological nature. This st
This paper centers on visual imagery and the hypothesis put forward by Laeng & Teodorescu regarding imagery or visualization. The hypothesis states that scanpath done during perception of an object or scene is reenacted during imagery of the same object or scene. In addition it claims that the reenactment has a positive functional role in memory retrieval. This paper cannot confirm nor refute
The overall aim of the study was to develop a theoretical understanding of how films in general and the photographic image in particular alter the way we conceive of and relate to our environment. Setting of where social constructivism, Cartesian dualism and textualism ends, the essay brings forward an alternative approach to cultural experience and identity construction. With the advent of the m
This thesis provides an overview of the unemployment problems and economic stability in Thailand. The purpose of this study was the relation of different factors that indicating the level of employment and unemployment, wage labour, movement of labour from rural area to urban area, migration of labour (domestic and international) and the natural rate of unemployment. It calculates non-accelerating
Parallel trade in goods is generally viewed as a positive phenomenon within the EU as a consequence of the principle free movement of goods: When traders buy goods in one part of the common market at a low price and transfer it to a higher priced area, allowing them to undercut those prices, then this will enhance competition, drive down prices and give consumers more choice- an overall positive e
This thesis analyses the problem of the conflict between fundamental rights with special attention to the clash between freedom of expression and human dignity In my view the hate speech problem is a good example of this clash: the right to freedom of expression can be in conflict with other human rights, mainly with the right to human dignity. My question is: how should one solve this problem, or
