The granite massif in the Tjärnesjö area, southwestern Sweden, was deformed and metamorphosed under granulite facies conditions in late Sveconorwegian time. The intrusive is dominated by a coarse-grained, megacrystic orthoclase granite. Pb-Pb evaporation datings on single zircons from the granite yield an age of ca. 1.36 Ga, interpreted as the intrusion age. A similar age was obtained on zircons f
Over the last decade the music festival sector grew enormously: in 2008 over a million festivalgoers gathered in the UK to share music and companionship. However in doing so musicfestivals generate large volumes of waste streams and consume large quantities of resources. Amusic festival of more than 40 000 people will produce in the order of 2000 tons of CO2e –with audience transportation and on s
Material contributes to a large share of construction costs and as prices are increasing companies must seek creative solutions and find new approaches in order to find ways of saving money. As a part of a strategic development Peab, one of Sweden’s leading construction- and contractor companies, is making an effort to streamline their purchasing system using the purchasing tool PIA, which digital
During an archaeological excavation in Uppåkra 2010 I found a so-called “guldgubbe”(goldfoilfigure). This find really caught my attention and especially so because their functions are still debated. This master thesis is about the meaning and use of this, more appropriately called, goldfoilfigure. Many attempts to solve the questions surrounding the functions of the figures have been made during t
Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att utreda om det med härledning till EU-rätten och EUD:s rättspraxis kan utrönas en gränsdragning för när en privatperson till-handahåller tjänster kan anses göra detta i egenskap av en beskattningsbar person och följaktligen faller transaktionen under mervärdesskatterättens tillämpnings-område. Utredningens analytiska utgångspunkt utgår från det ekonomiska sam-liThis essay's main purpose is to examine when a private individual, who provides services, can be considered to do this as a taxable person and therefore falls under the scope of VAT. This survey's analytical starting point is based on the economic concept collaborative consumption. The term describes an economic model which is based on the coordination of individuals' consumption needs
Objectives: To develop evidence based recommendations for the management of hand osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: The multidisciplinary guideline development group comprised 16 rheumatologists, one physiatrist, one orthopaedic surgeon, two allied health professionals, and one evidence based medicine expert, representing 15 different European countries. Each participant contributed up to 10 propositio
Aim. Endovascular repair of complicated type B dissections has evolved as a promising alternative to open repair. Previous studies have indicated that continued false lumen flow is a predictor of continued aortic dilatation and risk of rupture during follow-up. This multicenter study was conducted to analyze the postoperative changes of the false lumen after endografting of complicated type B diss
Popular Abstract in Swedish Moraxella catarrhalis är en human luftvägsbakterie som ofta koloniserar de övre luftvägarna och som orsakar mellanöroninfektion hos barn. Bakterien associeras även med bihåleinfektion, laryngit och nedre luftvägsinfektioner främst hos vuxna med underliggande sjukdomar som kronisk obstruktiv lugninflammation. Forskningen fokuserar främst på moraxellas ytexponerade antigeMoraxella catarrhalis is now an established human pathogen that frequently colonizes the upper respiratory tract causing most importantly otitis media in children. It has also been associated with sinusitis, laryngitis and lower respiratory tract infections in adults with predisposing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current research mainly focuses on surface antige
The present study addresses the question why there is a positive relationship between nitrogen deposition and potential net nitrogen mineralisation and nitrification in oak (Quercus robur L.) forest soils in south Sweden (Falkengren-Grerup et al., 1998), and how this is related to the carbon mineralisation. We tested three hypotheses based on European studies (Persson et al., 2000a,b) that postula
We have compiled data on the occurrence of a threatened beetle, Osmoderma eremita, in Sweden. The species inhabits tree hollows with wood mould. The data were compiled from field surveys conducted in 1993-2003, using pitfall traps at 401 localities and using wood mould sampling at 104 localities. We have also gone through published data and all larger Swedish museums and registered old records. O.
At first sight, Villacañas seems like a dull and unassuming village in the centre of Spain. In contrary to so many other Spanish villages, Villacañas doesn’t have a strong and visible historical heritage with narrow streets and old buildings. The first thing that meets your eye, when entering the village, is an avenue of abandoned door factories and industrial complexes. The architecture of Villac
This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans
A normal mineral metabolism is integral for skeletal development and preservation of bone integrity. Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) is a bone-derived circulating factor that decreases serum concentrations of inorganic phosphorous (P-i) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3 [1,25(OH)(2)D-3]. Increased FGF-23 expression is a direct or indirect culprit in several skeletal disorders; however, the relati
In birds the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) organization differs both among and within orders; chickens Gallus gallus of the order Galliformes have a simple arrangement, while many songbirds of the order Passeriformes have a more complex arrangement with larger numbers of MHC class I and II genes. Chicken MHC genes are found at two independent loci, classical MHC-B and non-classical MHC-Y,
Objective: To examine the relationship of knee malalignment with occurrence of incident and enlarging bone marrow lesions (BMLs) and regression of BMLs. Methods: Subjects from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study aged 50-79 years with or at high risk of knee osteoarthritis were studied. Full-limb radiographs were taken at baseline and hip-knee-ankle mechanical axis was measured. Baseline and 30-mo
Background Plasma triglyceride levels are heritable and are correlated with the risk of coronary heart disease. Sequencing of the protein-coding regions of the human genome (the exome) has the potential to identify rare mutations that have a large effect on phenotype. Methods We sequenced the protein-coding regions of 18,666 genes in each of 3734 participants of European or African ancestry in the
Background The activity of the human enzyme thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) varies greatly between individuals because of genetic polymorphism. TPMT is involved in the detoxification and activation of thiopurines such as 6-mercaptopurine, 6-thioguanine, and azathioprine. These drugs are used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. A total of 29 sequence
