Degradable starch microspheres (DSMs) are starch chains cross-linked with epichlorhydrin, forming glycerol-ether links. DSMs have been used for many years for temporary vascular occlusion and drug delivery in treatment of malignancies. They are also approved and used for topical haemostasis by absorbing excess fluid from the blood and concentrating endogenous coagulation factors, thereby facilitat
The c-KIT receptor tyrosine kinase mediates the cellular response to stem cell factor (SCF). Whereas c-KIT activity is important for the proliferation of hematopoietic cells, melanocytes and germ cells, uncontrolled c-KIT activity contributes to the growth of diverse human tumors. Suppressor of cytokine signaling 6 (SOCS6) is a member of the SOCS family of E3 ubiquitin ligases that can interact wi
A time-dependent mathematical model for the heat transfer in laser-induced hyperthermia has been developed. The model calculates the temperature distribution in surface-irradiated tissues. Good agreement was found between the predictions of the model and in vitro experimental results obtained for bovine liver irradiated with an expanded beam from a Nd:YAG laser. Surface evaporation of water was in
Following the implementation of advanced treatment procedures in radiotherapy, there is a need for dynamic dose verification in 3D. Gel dosimetry could potentially be used for such measurements. However, recently published data show that certain types of gels have a dose rate and fractionation dependence. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a polymer gel dosimeter for
This thesis examines the international climate movement, Extinction Rebellion. Since its establishment, it has been the topic of considerable media criticism, where several groups believe that they are not politically inclusive. This study seeks to show how their portrayal of themselves and their politics is not a neutral discursive terrain, but has political implications. Using frame analysis as
Den rådande rättspolitiska debatten avseende omedelbarhetsprincipen och dess behov av reform har lett till ett flertal offentliga utredningar och propositioner. Dessa förslag har under uppsatsskrivandets gång resulterat i lagändringar medförande att tidiga förhör får åberopas som bevis i domstol. Syftet med denna framställning är att med avstamp i förarbetena till 1948 års rättegångsbalk göra en jThe current legal policy debate regarding the principle of immediacy and its needs for reform has led to several Swedish Government Official Reports and government bills. During the writing of this essay, these proposals have resulted in amendment of an act; early non-public hearings may now be plead as evidence in court. The purpose of this thesis is to make a comparison between corresponding arg
Gräsrotsfinansiering är en växande alternativ finansieringsform, både i Sverige och internationellt. Finansieringsformen kännetecknas av att många investerare tillsammans investerar en relativt liten men totalt sett betydande summa kapital i en affärsidé eller ett projekt. Andelsbaserad gräsrotsfinansiering är en variant av gräsrotsfinansiering som innebär att investeraren erhåller andelar i det iCrowdfunding is a growing alternative form of financing, both in Sweden and internationally. This form of financing is characterized by the fact that many investors together invest a relatively small but overall significant amount of capital in a business idea or project. Equity crowdfunding is a variant of crowdfunding which means that the investor acquires shares in the invested company in. The
Denna uppsats ämnar att kasta ljus över humanitära interventioner och huruvida de är lagliga enligt folkrätten idag samt om deras rättsliga ställning är på väg att förändras i framtiden. Fokus i uppsatsen ligger på den humanitära krisen i Syrien och hur de rättsliga övervägandena såg ut för en humanitär intervention där, samt vad som blev implikationerna för den gällande rätten efter denna kris. UThis essay seeks to shed some light on the concept of humanitarian intervention and whether it is considered legal or not in international law. Furthermore, the concept of humanitarian intervention is discussed in a developmental perspective, where the current regulation of humanitarian intervention is analysed and suggestions are presented for what might be the future for the concept. The essay f
This paper seeks to provide insight on the status and fertility of e-voting as a leveling agent in the municipalities of Haparanda and Botkyrka, which has the lowest voter turnout in Sweden. Through quantitative surveys in the townships, and further interviewing the development manager of the Swedish election committee. The collected material on e-voting was tested on parts of the rational choice
Bakgrund: ADHD är en av de vanligaste funktionsnedsättningarna hos barn och unga vilket kan påverka individens förmåga till aktivitet och delaktighet. En vanlig konsekvens är att barnet kan få svårt att klara skolgången vilket skapar lidande för eleven och familjen, samt utgör en stor kostnad för samhället. Arbetsterapi i skolan syftar till att möjliggöra aktivitet och delaktighet för individen.
The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers in the primary school work for the social situation of autistic school pupils from year 6 to 9. The main focus in this investigation was to study the teacher's own experience on how they contribute to social inclusion and participation of autistic school pupils. We look at existing teaching methods and improvements which the teachers use to
The scale and legal implementation make the Swedish deinstitutionalization process for people with intellectual disability (ID) a particular experience. The aim of this study was therefore to explore this experience by analysing the political problematization/s of institutional residence that were made in connection with the political decision to start the deinstitutionalization process. Utilizing
Bygg- och fastighetsbranschen står idag för ungefär en femtedel av Sveriges nationella växthusgasutsläpp. Majoriteten av branschens ansträngningar för att minska utsläppen har fram tills idag fokuserat på hållbar nyproduktion och energieffektiviseringar av byggnader vilket har motiverats med att detta har ansetts vara de områden som ger upphov till störst utsläpp. Kommersiella byggnader genomgår dThe construction and real estate industry in Sweden accounts for approximately one-fifth of the country’s national greenhouse gas emissions. Until today, the majority of the industry’s efforts to reduce emissions have focused on sustainable construction of new buildings and energy efficiency improvements of existing buildings, which has been justified by the fact that these have been the areas con
Bakgrund: Hjärntrötthet definieras som en extrem, framförallt mental trötthet som begränsar individens funktion, aktivitet och delaktighet i det vardagliga livet. Hjärntrötthet post stroke är i sig ett direkt resultat av organisk hjärnskada. Besväret beskrivs som lägre energikapacitet och är relativt förekommande post-stroke. Symtombilden är multidimensionell och komplex då ett flertal kognitiva f
This paper presents solutions to the modelling of frequency data of species labels, but the data is incomplete in the sense that some rarely-occurring species labels give zero observed frequency. The data can be modelled by a monotone probability function with parameters to be estimated, and yet, due to the order constraints and the incomplete data, using conventional parameter estimation methods
During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception o
Bakgrund: Åttiotvå procent av Sveriges befolkning har någon gång under sin livstid avstått från att söka vård för problem kopplade till sin sexuella hälsa. Majoriteten av arbetsterapeuter lyfter inte sexuella hälsoproblem med sina patienter på grund av bristande kunskap, otydliga riktlinjer samt få träningsmöjligheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka faktorer i mötet mellan arbetsterapeut och kli
The development in Africa has for a long time been harmed because of its high corruption levels. During the last decades, Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) have increasingly flown into African states as an attempt to strengthen the societies. Therefore, this thesis has investigated what kind of impact FDI between 1975 and 2000 has had on corruption levels in Africa. Through a hypothesis testing
Uppsatsen beskriver omfattningen av momskaruseller och hur omvänd skattskyldighet i vidare utsträckning används för att motverka dessa typer av bedrägerier. EU-rättens omfattning spelar stor roll på mervärdesskattens område och har därför även utretts inom ramen för denna uppsats. Gällande omvänd skattskyldighet har det på senare år tillkommit flera möjligheter för EU:s medlemsstater att införa olThe focus of the thesis is to describe the scope of carousell fraud and how reverse charge mechanism is used as a preventable measure.
