In recent years, exterior thermal insulation systems became more and more important leading to an increasing amount of houses equipped with biocide-containing organic façade coatings or fungicide treated wood. It is known that these biocides, e.g. terbutryn, carbendazim, and diuron, as well as wood preservatives as propiconazole, leach out of the material through contact with wind driven rain. Hen
The identity of the cells that contribute to brain tumor structure and progression remains unclear. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have recently been isolated from normal mouse brain. Here, we report the infiltration of MSC-like cells into the GL261 murine glioma model. These Brain Tumor derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BT-MSCs) are defined with the phenotype (Lin-Sca-1+CD9+CD44+CD166+/-) and have m
In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), thrombus material is often present in partial or total coronary occlusion of the coronary vessel. However, prior to the thrombus aspiration during ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in Scandinavia (TASTE) trial, it remained unclear whether routine thrombus aspiration during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment of STEMI would resu
To accurately examine associations of physical activity (PA) with disease outcomes, a valid method of assessing free-living activity is required. We examined the validity of a brief PA questionnaire (PAQ) used in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). PA energy expenditure (PAEE) and time spent in moderate and vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was measured in 1,94
Background/objectives: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are at present treated with galantamine without actual knowledge of plasma concentration levels. The aim of this presentation is to analyse the relationship between galantamine plasma concentration, dose, demographics and body mass index (BMI). Methods: A total of 84 AD patients recruited at the Memory Clinic in Malmö, Sweden, treated w

Företagens minutiösa och komplicerade skatteupplägg innebär ofta att företag erhåller en av lagstiftaren icke avsedd skatteförmån. Den uppfinningsrikedom företag uppvisar när det kommer till kringgående av skattelag är i princip gränslös. Samtidigt kan inte lagstiftningen i samma utsträckning täppa igen luckorna i lagen. Detta medför att det finns ett behov av effektiv och omfattande skattelagstifAggressive use of tax avoidance by multinational companies results in a reduced tax burden unintended by the legislator. The creativity with which companies circumvent tax law is virtually boundless. At the same time the legislation struggles to correct the loopholes, resulting in the need for effective and extensive anti-tax law. The essay will first study the different methods of preventing tax
Ecotourism is the concept of traveling responsibly to natural areas where the environment and the well-being of the local people are sustained, where the economic profit is reinvested in the area and where knowledge is communicated to decrease visitor impact and maintain the local environment. Ecotourism is the fastest growing segment of the global tourism industry and therefore it is important to
This study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h
Background: It has been suggested that changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) over time (ie, PSA velocity [PSAV]) aid prostate cancer detection. Some guidelines do incorporate PSAV cut points as an indication for biopsy. Objective: To evaluate whether PSAV enhances prediction of biopsy outcome in a large, representative, population-based cohort. Design, setting, and participants: There were 27
The aim of this thesis was to contribute to the understanding of aspects related to home, health and participation for community living people with disability and identify different groups with different needs for interventions.

Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Orthopaedic department of a regional hospital in Sweden. Participants: Patients aged 65 years or older with previously untreated DC of 30 degrees or greater in the metacarpophalan
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mängden och kvaliten på avfall förändras när intresset för resurserna i avfallet ökar. Ett omhändertagande av avfall med sortering, återvinning, förbehandling och utnutjande av energi producerar nytt avfall. En del hamnar på deponin. En möjlig följd är att det organiska materialet som deponeras minskar. En annan är att avfallet blir torrare. Framförallt inom EU finns deWhen attention is drawn to the recovery of resources within waste, the amount and types of waste disposed of at landfills change. A waste management system based on separate kerbside collection, sorting, recycling, and pretreatment with material and/or energy recovery produces new residues, which finally end up at landfills. This is the case in, for example, the US and the EU. As a possible result
The authors of this thesis have conducted a qualitative study on four artists situated in the countryside of Österlen in Sweden and being participating members of the Österlen Art Circuit. The theories of lifestyle entrepreneurship and extreme entrepreneurship have been applied as an interpretive framework to gain an understanding of the motivation for this specific group of small business owners.
Rökning ses enligt praxis idag ännu som något normalt och något hyresgästen får göra i lägenheten och på tillhörande balkong. Rökning i hyreslägenheten kan dock medföra att tvister uppstår mellan hyresgäst och hyresvärd av olika skäl. Det står klart att en hyresgäst kan bli skadeståndsskyldig för skador som orsakats av rökning i lägenheten. De kriterier som bedöms när det gäller frågan om hyresgäAccording to Swedish law, smoking is considered normal behavior and tenants are allowed to smoke in a rented flat. Smoking in the rented flat may still result in disputes between tenants and landlords, for various reasons. It has been established that a tenant can be liable for damage caused by smoking in the flat. The criteria considered for the tenant's liability is the damage caused and it
Viktigt för rättssäkerheten i Sverige är att ingen ska kunna dömas oskyldig och att medborgare anklagade för brott ska betraktas som oskyldiga till dess att motsatsen bevisats. Misstag sker dock och därför finns regler kring resning i brottmål till förmån för den tilltalade i 58 kap. 2 § Rättegångsbalken (RB). Rättelse kan därmed nås genom att den dömde begär resning och på så sätt får sin dom ompIt is of importance that citizen’s accused of crime is seen as innocent until proven guilty and no one should be innocently convicted. But mistakes happen and therefor there are rules for granting convicted citizens a new trial in 58 kap. 2 § Rättegångsbalken (RB). It is essential in a legal certain society that a verdict which has gained legal force is not easily removed, but as previously menti
En arbetsmiljö är både fysisk och psykosocial. Den fysiska delen är enkel att överblicka eftersom den är objektiv, medan den psykosociala är lite mer komplicerad då den är subjektiv och personer uppfattar den olika. I uppsatsen utreds begreppet psykosocial arbetsmiljö för att ge en förståelse för dess innebörd och relevans till ämnet. Kränkande särbehandling är det begrepp som används i svensk rätA work environment is both physical and psychosocial. The physical part is easy to overlook because it is objective, while the psychosocial is a bit more complicated since it is subjective and people perceive the differently. In the essay the concept of psychosocial work environment is examined in order to provide an understanding of its meaning and relevance to the subject. Victimization is the c
