Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, often aggressive type of B-cell lymphoma with poor survival and no cure. Cancer and cancer treatment has a negative impact on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) both during active disease and in the long term, and improvement of HRQOL is a crucial objective of cancer therapy in older patients and no curative intent. Baseline HRQOL has in other lymphoma pop
Background: There is an urgent need for effective treatments against glioblastoma (GBM). In this trial, we investigated the efficacy and safety of an adoptive cell-based immunotherapy. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed GBM were recruited at 4 study sites in Sweden. The patients were randomized 1:2 to receive either radiotherapy (RT), 60 Gy/30 fractions, with concomitant and adjuvant temozolom
Spectrum clustering is a powerful strategy to minimize redundant mass spectra by grouping them based on similarity, with the aim of forming groups of mass spectra from the same repeatedly measured analytes. Each such group of near-identical spectra can be represented by its so-called consensus spectrum for downstream processing. Although several algorithms for spectrum clustering have been adequat
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a type of cardiac arrhythmia that significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. In general, in the case of patients affected by AF, their electrocardiogram (ECG) shows a typical pattern of irregular RR intervals and abnormal P waves. However, discriminating AF from a normal sinus rhythm or from other types of rhythms remains a challenging problem today.
Dermatitis herpetiformis has been investigated in the past; however, only a limited number of studies have reported its incidence based on validated nationwide population-based registries. To address this gap, the aims of this study are to estimate the incidence of dermatitis herpetiformis in Sweden and to validate the National Patient Register (NPR) for diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. A po
The purpose of the study was to develop a simple and rapid method for measuring the average settling velocity of particles in stormwater ponds. Water samples with suspended particles were collected from the bottom of a stormwater pond in Lund, Sweden. The absorbance in various samples was measured over 24 hours (at 600 nm wavelength) and then translated into total solids concentrations. A one-dime
Skiljeförfarande som tvistlösningsform har blivit allt vanligare mellan kommersiella parter, till stor del på grund av dess effektivitet och slutgiltighet. Skiljedomar kan enbart upphävas enligt ett begränsat antal grunder i 34 § 1 st. lag (1999:166) om skiljeförfarande (LSF). En av dessa klandergrunder kan åberopas om skiljenämnden begått ett handläggningsfel utan parts vållande som sannolikt påvCommercial arbitration has become increasingly common in Sweden mostly due to its effectiveness and finality as a mechanism for solving disputes. However, according to the Swedish Arbitration Act of 1999 (SAA), arbitration awards can only be set aside in a limited number of situations. One of the situations when it is possible to set aside an award is when an arbitration tribunal has made a proced
The purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge on the influence and benefits of business incubator networks in direct connection to residing Early and rapid internationalizing firms. A qualitative research method was used in order to shed light on the workings of Swedish incubator networks and how residing Early and rapid internationalizing startups make use of them to overcome
The aim of this study is to see how big the estimated number of unrecorded cases in Sweden are when it comes to reporting sexual molestation and to see if the court sees the victim as an ideal victim. If so, it is in our interest to investigate if the ideal victim can be associated with the number of unrecorded cases. The cases from the court in Malmö has been coded, placed into charts and analyse
What does the EU’s emerging outbound review architecture reveal about the future limits of Article 63 TFEU in third-country capital relations? This thesis argues that the outbound investment screening agenda of EU is best understood as a constitutional stress test for external dimension of the Article 63 TFEU. While the potential outbound screening framework still relies on a soft-law review and r
This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization
För att klimatförändringarna inte ska bli för stora har Sverige som mål att till år 2020 reducera utsläppen av växthusgaser med 40%. För att klara detta arbete behöver Sveriges kommuner hjälpa till med lokala mål och åtgärder, och Ängelholms kommun har då valt att i sin miljöplan bestämma att kommunen år 2021 ska vara helt fossilbränslefria i alla transporter som kommunen äger eller brukar. SyftetSweden has a goal to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases with 40 % until 2020 to prevent the climate change from becoming too big. Too succeed in this work, the Swedish municipalities need to help with local goals and arrangements. The municipality of Ängelholm has chosen to decide in its environmental action plan that the municipality by 2021 is going to be completely free of fossil fuels in
Food Waste is a global issue concerning the environment, resources, social justice and economy. Despite being so pressing, around one-third of food produced is discarded worldwide. Meanwhile, food waste is incredibly complicated, requiring collaborations of all stakeholders and various innovations. Too Good To Go (TGTG) utilizes technology to bridge consumers and food business and save food waste
Mål rörande rena utflyttningsskatter har det senaste decenniet varit tämligen frekvent förekommande i EU-domstolen. Detta har i sin tur medfört att, b.la, Kommissionens fokus har riktats gentemot ifrågakommande medlemsstaters utformning/tillämpning av denna typ av skatter då medlemsstaterna i sin strävan att skydda sina respektive skattebaser gärna använder sig av utflyttningsskatter i olika utforOver the last decade there has been an increase in the number of cases that are referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) with regards to matters of exit taxes. Consequently, this has turned the Commission’s focus towards the outline of the respective exit tax regimes applied in the different Member States (MS). This since the MS, in their efforts to protect their respective ta
Population growth and urbanization increase the housing demand in cities. Densification with limited expansion has environmental and social benefits and is therefore a common development strategy. However, many interests must be balanced in urban planning and spaciousness, and green space especially, is important for sustainable and livable cities. Green Infrastructure (GI) provides Ecosystem Serv
The aim with this study is to analyse how social workers reason and understand that some youth who grew up in households living on social assistance is also in need of assistance as a young adult. This study contains qualitative interviews with seven social workers in Malmö. All respondents work in the field of social assistance. This study also investigates how social workers understand and perce
Background Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a carcinogen. Exposure to Cr(VI) may occur in different industrial processes such as chrome plating and stainless steel welding. The aim of this study was to assess occupational exposure to Cr(VI) in Denmark. Methods This cross-sectional study included 28 workers and 8 apprentices with potential Cr(VI) exposure and 24 within company controls, all recruite
Grassroots innovations are seen as important contributors to sustainability transitions, however, given their dependence on place-specific conditions they face diffusion challenges. Responding to previously outlined gaps regarding conceptualisation and exploration of the spatiality of grassroots innovations, this paper introduces a conceptualisation of nomadic grassroots innovations. These are gra
