OBJECTIVE: Resistance to activated protein C (APC resistance), caused by a single point mutation in the factor V gene (FV:R506Q), is a major risk factor for venous thrombosis. As the significance of this mutation among unselected outpatients with deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is not established, we have studied its prevalence among consecutive outpatients attending the emergency room due to a clinica

The long-term fates of duplicate genes are well studied both empirically and theoretically, but how the short-term evolution of duplicate genes contributes to phenotypic variation is less well known. Here, we have studied the genetic basis of flowering tithe variation in the disomic tetraploid Capsella bursa-pastoris. We sequenced four duplicate candidate genes for flowering time and 10 background
Bakgrund: Denna studie utforskar klienter, terapeuter och handledares erfarenheter av lekmannaterapi som traumabehandling i norra Uganda. Deltagarnas erfarenheter av vad som anses vara viktigt gällande implementering, planering och kontext utforskas tillsammans med vilka möjligheter och begränsningar deltagarna ser gällande detta behandlingsupplägg. Metod: 14 semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördBackground: This study explored the experiences of clients, therapists and supervisors in regards to lay therapy as trauma treatment in Northern Uganda. The participants’ experiences of what is important in the implementation, planning and context for such treatment setup to be successful, as well as the potentials and limitations are explored. Method: A total of 14 semi-structured interviews were
The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the discussion on the relation between memory and security in how Holocaust remembrance discourse affect the construction of security in Israel.

The aim of this essay is to assess whether or not it is compatible with EU law to require foreign investment funds resident in third countries to have the same legal form as Swedish contractual investment funds, in order to be exempt from withholding tax. Swedish contractual investment funds fulfilling certain requirement are tax exempt which resulting in a different treatment if withholding tax i
Purpose This research aims to deepen the view of willingness to share knowledge within the organization by using the lens of organization-based self-esteem in a case study. Methodology Utilizing an interpretive tradition, especially symbolic interactionism, this research employs a qualitative case study methodology with an abductive approach. The empirical material is gathered through 14 semi-
This thesis investigates whether corruption levels in European Union (EU) member states have changed following their accession, with a particular focus on countries joining after the establishment of the Copenhagen Criteria in 1993. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study first conducts a quantitative analysis of corruption trends on a year-by-year basis across all post-1993 accession countr
Kristensen MT, Bandholm T, Holm B, Ekdahl C, Kehlet H. Timed Up & Go test score in patients with hip fracture is related to the type of walking aid. OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between Timed Up & Go (TUG) test scores and type of walking aid used during the test, and to determine the feasibility of using the rollator as a standardized walking aid during the TUG in patients with
Type II collagen is synthesized in the tympanic membrane during healing of a perforation. The time course and appearance of Type II collagen regrowth in the newly healed tympanic membrane is the subject of the present study.
Objective: The role of HIV exposure in determining growth among HIV-uninfected children is debated. We determined whether intrauterine HIV exposure influences linear growth in a cohort of Ethiopian children followed up to 18 months of age in public health facilities in Adama city, Ethiopia. Methods: Participants were offspring of pregnant women enrolled in a prospective cohort study that included
Background and aims: Several susceptibility gene variants predisposing to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been identified in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Evidence supports that 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 13 (HSD17B13) rs72613567 plays a role in NAFLD development by affecting lipid homeostasis. Since lipid droplets may accumulate in the kidneys and contribute to renal injur
OBJECTIVES: It has been commonly accepted that untreated acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) results in an hourly mortality rate of 1–2% during the 1st 24 h after symptom onset. The data to support this statement rely solely on patients who have been denied surgical treatment after reaching surgical centres. The objective was to perform a total review of non-surgically treated (NST) ATAAD and p
Background The prognostic value of blood lactate as a predictor of adverse outcome in the acutely ill patient is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate if a peripheral venous lactate measurement, taken at admission, is associated with in-hospital mortality in acutely ill patients with all diagnosis. Furthermore, we wanted to investigate if the test improves a triage model in terms of pr
In its most recent Energy Union package, the European Union puts citizens at the core of the cleanenergy transitions. Beyond policy, disruptive innovations in energy sectors are challenging thetraditional business model of large energy utilities. One such disruptive, social innovation is theemergence of new clean energy communities (“NEWCOMERS”).The possible benefits of these “NEWCOMERS” for their
Daily school physical activity (PA) improves musculoskeletal traits. This study evaluates whether the benefits remain 4 years after the intervention. We followed 45 boys and 36 girls who had had 40 min PA/school day during the nine compulsory school years and 21 boys and 22 girls who had had 60 min PA/school week (reference), with measurements at baseline and 4 years after the program terminated.
In the summer of 2013, millions of Egyptians returned to Tahrir square in Cairo to demand the resignation of the country’s first democratically elected president. This article examines the two key terms mainly used to describe the ousting of President Mohamed Morsy, ‘coup’ and ‘revolution’, and how these terms can be understood as arguments for two different interpretations of the event.
