Background The popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., primary aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. The tattooing process invokes an immunologic response that causes translocation of tattoo ink from the injection site. Deposition of tattoo pigment in lymph nodes has been confirmed
Characterization of emissions from fires in a laboratory-controlled environment are presented in this report. The project is initiated by the CERN HSE Unit and is called FIRIA, Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment. The objective of FIRIA is to enhance the knowledge of aerosols emitted from fires in order to develop dispersion models of radiologically-activated material in case of fire.
Earlier studies show that different concrete aggregates have different thermal properties, and from this an idea to optimize thermal properties of concrete was developed. The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate thermal properties of concrete so additional costs and negative environmental impacts can be minimized. Measurements of thermal properties of different Swedish aggregates from e
2010 års straffrätts reform initierades som en reaktion på att straffen för de grövsta formerna av misshandel endast dömdes ut i den nedre fjärdedelen av straffskalan. Reformen medförde bl.a. att straffskalan för grov misshandel i 3 kap. 6 § delades upp i två stycken, där andra stycket med en strängare straffskala på fyra till tio år skulle vara tillämplig för synnerligen grova fall. De grövsta faThe criminal reform of 2010 was initiated as a reaction to sentencing levels being concentrated to the lower quarter of the range of punishment for serious cases of assaults. The reform led to the division of the range of punishment for aggravated assault in chapter 3 article 6, to two separate subsections. The second subsection would apply a range of punishment between four to ten years applicabl
The Maha Oya (river) originates in the Kandy district of Sri Lanka and travels about 130 km passing four districts to reach the sea at Kochchikade in Sri Lanka. It holds the 3rd largest average annual runoff among the 103 of distinct river basins in Sri Lanka. Its contribution as a fresh water source is of great significance. During year 2004 the river provided five percent of the total production
BACKGROUND: Women with intellectual disabilities face significant barriers to gynecological, reproductive, antenatal, and perinatal care, which may adversely impact maternal and fetal health. Previous research indicates increased risks for gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, caesarean birth, preterm birth, and other complications in pregnant women with intellectual disabilities. However, studies
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the fastest-evolving human pathogens. Understanding HIV-1 transmission, within-host adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics is pivotal for development of interventions and vaccines. HIV-1 infection is generally caused by a single transmitted founder virus (TFV), and TFV sequences are typically obtained using single genome amplificatio
PURPOSE: To estimate the effect of dexamethasone eye drops on the risk of progression from type 2 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) to ROP requiring traditional treatments.DESIGN: Register-based cohort study.PARTICIPANTS: Preterm infants born before 30 weeks' gestation from 2015-2018 (control years) and from 2020-2021 (intervention years) registered in the Swedish Quality Register for ROP at 4 Swed
We urgently need to move from a fossil-based to a bio-based society. From a Swedish perspective, a promising way forward are biorefineries with an integrated production of materials, chemicals, and energy from the softwood species Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies). A diverse set of process routes will be necessary to produce all intermediates and commercial products. In
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether a prime-boost vaccination strategy, i.e., a dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and a dose of 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23), enhances antibody response compared to single PCV dose in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases treated with different immunosuppressive drugs and controls. METHODS: Patients receiving rituximab (n = 30), abatacept (n
Analytical chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that even young schoolchildren encounter at an early stage in their education. Gravimetry and measurement uncertainties are aspects that form a part of such education, as well as measurements of pH and colorimetry. These are all an integral part of children’s early educational experiences, which shows the importance of this discipline within th
1. The distribution of the carbon monoxide (CO) producing enzymes haem oxygenase (HO)-1 and -2 was studied by immunohistochemistry in the pig's lower urinary tract, including bladder extramural arteries, and the oesophagogastric junction (OGJ). In isolated smooth muscle from the urethra and the OGJ, the mechanisms for CO-induced relaxations were characterized by measurement of cyclic nucleotide le
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett kärnkraftverk är utrustat med ett omfattande försvar avsett att förhindra radioaktivt utsläpp vid en eventuell reaktorolycka. Detta försvar är uppbyggt av ett antal skyddsbarriärer, där reaktorinneslutningen utgör den sista barriären mot omgivningen. Inneslutningens primära uppgift är att motstå det inre övertryck som kan förväntas vid en reaktorolycka. Alla svenskaA nuclear power plant is provided with an extensive defense intended to prevent radioactive discharge in case of a reactor accident. This defense is built up of several independent safety barriers, where the reactor containment constitutes the last barrier to the environment. The fundamental safety function of the containment is to withstand the internal pressure expected in the event of an accide
BACKGROUND: Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world's population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries from causes affecting children, to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) more common in adults. For the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD 2015), we
Denna rapport avser en stabilitetsanalys för att undersöka möjligheten att bygga en kupol i trä med en spännvidd på 300 meter. Alla lastbärande delar har modellerats med limträ av klassen GL30c och med dimensionerna 0.8×1.6 m2. Lastfallen valdes till 2 kN/m2 respektive 4 kN/m2 för symmetriska och asymmetriska snölaster. De numeriska beräkningarna utfördes i finita element-mjukvaran Abaqus FEA och The aim of this thesis is to study the feasibility of building a timber dome with a span of 300 metres, concerning elastic stability. The load-bearing members were modelled with the properties of glued laminated timber GL30c with the dimensions 0.8×1.6 m2. The design loads were 2 kN/m2 and 4 kN/m2 in symmetrical and asymmetrical load cases, respectively. The numerical calculations were performed u
Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori är en spiralformad Gramnegativ human-specifik patogen, som kan penetrera magsäckens slemlager och kolonisera epitelskiktet. H. pylori infektion är en högriskfaktor för utvecklandet av kronisk gastrit, magsår och ventrikelcancer. Både aktivt växande spiralformer av H. pylori och dess runda viloformer framkallar kronisk magkatarr (gastrit) i BALB/cA möHelicobacter pylori is a human pathogen strongly associated with chronic type B gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma.

The Thesis, which is titled ''Reform of the United Nations Security Council: A Requirement of the Times'', consists of six chapters. Chapter I, ''Overview'', begins with the very brief historical background of the United Nations, the Charter and the UNSC. The focal point in this Chapter is about the functions and powers, the reasons - both objective and subjective -
1. In the present study we compared neuropeptide Y (NPY) and NPY-related analogues for their ability to activate or bind to vascular NPY receptors in four experimental set-ups. Previous results have suggested the existence of different receptor subtypes, Y1 receptors requiring full-length NPY (1-36) or [Pro34]-NPY, and Y2 receptors recognizing also N-terminally truncated forms of NPY but not [Pro3
