However, with increased complexity, manufacturingcost increased. The manufacturing cost includes the test

This study investigates the sex steroid hormone profile in younger men with distal radius fracture (DRF) to elucidate if this could explain the low bone density and osteoporosis previously observed. In a case–control study, 73 men with DRF (mean age 38 ± 9 years; range, 20–51) was compared with 194 age-matched, population controls. Performed assays: total testosterone (TT), calculated free testost

The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) will deliver 30,000 fully coherent, high brilliance X-ray pulses per second each with a duration below 100 fs. This will allow the recording of diffraction patterns of single complex molecules and the study of ultra-fast processes. Silicon pixel sensors will be used to record the diffraction images. In 3 years of operation the sensors will be exposed t

The aim of this article is to study how selected variables influence delays in train traffic. Data has been collected on train movements, timetables, weather and capacity utilization on a highly utilized single-track railway line in southern Sweden during 2014. Based on this dataset, we have analysed how different factors affect delays in passenger traffic. We measure delays in a novel way, as devThe aim of this article is to study how selected variables influence delays in train traffic.

INTRODUCTION: Remote consultations help reduce contact between people and prevent cross-contamination. Little is known about the changes in consultation in European rural primary care during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this mixed-methods cross-sectional study was to find out more about the effects of the pandemic on changes in patient consultations in European rural primary

Objective: IgG antibodies against apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) have been found to be elevated in subjects from the general population with clinically manifest cardiovascular disease and in myocardial infarction patients with an adverse prognosis. Here, we investigated whether these antibodies are prospectively associated with carotid artery disease progression and with the risk for first-time cardi

Hedersproblematiken blev känd i Sverige under 1990-talet, då två väldigt uppmärksammade hedersmord på Sara och Fadime begicks i Sverige. Morden väckte stor debatt och alla försökte förstå hur detta kunde inträffa och framförallt varför. Inom hederskulturen förekommer en hederskod som är en uppsättning regler och samhällsnormer för hur ett sunt och acceptabelt liv ska levas och framförallt för kvinHonour-related problems became known in Sweden during the 1990s, when two famous honour killings of Sara and Fadime were committed. The murders of the young girls caused big sensation and raised an intensive debate in Sweden. Everyone tried to understand and find explanations for how this horrible incident could have happened and most importantly why. Honour-related cultures often have a set of ru

This essay focuses on the verse 3:28 from Paul´s letter to the Galatians, in which Paul writes that “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” I have chosen to focus, primarily, on the concepts of “male nor female” in a combined exegetical study and hermeneutical search for an inclusive, Pauline language

Asteroids and Kuiper belt objects are remnant planetesimals from the epoch of planet formation. The first stage of planet formation is the accumulation of dust and ice grains into mm-cm-sized pebbles. These pebbles can clump together through the streaming instability and form gravitationally bound pebble `clouds'. Pebbles inside such a cloud will undergo mutual collisions, dissipating energy into

Reproductive success usually declines in the course of the season, which may be a direct effect of breeding time, an effect of quality (individuals with high phenotypic or environmental quality breeding early), or a combination of the two. Being able to distinguish between these possibilities is crucial when trying to understand individual variation in annual routines, for instance when to breed,

Popular Abstract in English Research has shown the Ugandan construction industry to be, primarily, an informal sector dominated by unskilled labour contracted mainly on minor building works such as alterations and renovations. Within such a context, the industry has also received negative publicity due to increasing quality failures on sites – commonly referred to as shoddy work.

Skatterättens område är dynamiskt. Företag och privatpersoner har i olika omfattning möjlighet att planera sin verksamhet. Det finns ett kontinuerligt intresse av att finns nya vägar som resulterar i en förmånligare skattemässig situation. Dessa nya förfaranden med vad som kan te sig röra procentenheter kan i slutändan resultera i enorma ekonomiska vinster. Under 2003 tillkom nya regler om skattTax law is a dynamic field. Businesses and individuals are to a different extent able to plan their activities. There is a continuous interest to find new ways that result in more favorable tax situations. These new procedures with what may seem to concern percentile margins may ultimately result in huge economic gains. In 2003 a new legislation was introduced regarding tax exemption on business-

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen, som består av tre delar, handlar om olika metoder för att undersöka algebraiska begrepp med hjälp av datorberäkningar. I första delen visar vi att en viss Liealgebra inte, till skillnad från många andra Liealgebror av liknande typ, kan brytas ned i vinkelräta komponenter av en speciellt enkel typ. Andra delen handlar om vilka polynom som kan bildas genomThis thesis consists of a collection of articles all using and/or developing algorithmic methods for the investigation of different algebraic structures. Part A concerns orthogonal decompositions of simple Lie algebras. The main result of this part is that the symplectic Lie algebra C3 has no orthogonal decomposition of so called monomial type. This was achieved by developing an algorithm for fin

Abstract Background: Caring for tracheostomized patients in the intensive care unit is a common practice, and there are many advantages to having an endotracheal tube. It is for example easier to wean from a ventilator, facilitates oral hygiene and intake, and leads to earlier use of speaking valves while still needing respiratory assistance. Specialist nurses are invaluable in terms of patient

Design importance in product marketing has been dramatically increasing in the last few years. There is hardly a commodity available in the market which could escape the ever-growing design trend. Consumer design awareness is growing simultaneously and thus more and more companies choose to invest into researching possible design applications to their products. Currently where production costs are

I uppsatsen du har framför dig undersöker jag målsägandens ansvar i förhål-lande till en tilltalads uppsåt eller oaktsamhet avseende målsägandens ofrivil-liga deltagande i en sexuell handling. Vi befinner oss alltså i de två första pa-ragraferna av brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, 6:1 och 6:1 a BrB. Min undersök-ning kretsar dock inte framförallt kring gällande rätt utan kring hovrätternas tillämpninThis essay investigates whether the law or its practice can be said to impose on the plaintiff a responsibility in relation to the defendant’s intent or negli-gence regarding the plaintiff’s involuntary partaking in a sexual act with the defendant. We are hence located in the first two paragraphs of the sixth chap-ter in the Swedish criminal code, 6:1 and 6:1 a Brottsbalk (1962:700). My essay does

I detta examensarbete undersöker jag hur det demokratiska statsskicket upprätthålls och skyddas i det svenska rättssystemet, samt vilka typer av risker rättssystemet utgör för upprätthållandet av demokratin i Sverige. Nyligen publicerade rapporter från icke-statliga organisationer visar att världen, och Europa, är i en trend av demokratisk tillbakagång. Det är därför dags att utvärdera vilka riskeIn this thesis, I investigate how the democratic form of government is maintained and protected in the Swedish legal system, as well as what kinds of risks the legal system poses to the maintenance of democracy in Sweden. Recent reports from NGOs show that the world, and Europe, are going through a trend of democratic backsliding. Thus, it is timely to evaluate what risks the Swedish system might

The lifetime extension of smartphones is seen as a prominent way to reduce the environmental impacts caused during the production of the devices. Smartphones may be small devices, but their impact is no longer small as for the past years e-waste has been the largest growing waste generated globally. This research aimed to learn what perspectives Swedish smartphone users had towards repairability a
