Tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGAs) represent the first evidence of celiac disease (CD) development. Associations of HLA-DR3-DQA1*05:01-DQB1*02:01 (i.e., DR3-DQ2) and, to a lesser extent, DR4-DQA1*03:01-DQB1*03:02 (i.e., DR4-DQ8) with the risk of CD differ by country, consistent with additional genetic heterogeneity that further refines risk. Therefore, we examined human leukocyte antig

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade extracellular matrix proteins and play important roles in development and tissue repair. They have also been shown to have both protective and pathogenic effects in atherosclerosis, and experimental studies have suggested that MMP-12 contributes to plaque growth and destabilization. The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between cir

A large number of polls on party preferences are published today. In order to get an estimate of the changes in political opinion, the polls may be combined into a poll of polls. We discuss a method for combining polls using the fact that they are compositions and respecting the properties of the compositional sample space (the simplex). The method is easily implemented and the estimate may be com

This essay first outlines a philosophical theory of concepts and then applies it to two areas of relevance to psychiatrists, especially forensic psychiatrists. In the philosophical theory, the respective roles of verbal and non-verbal definitions are illuminated, and the importance of the phenomenon of division of semantic labour is stressed. It is pointed out that vagueness and ambiguity of a ter

Att behöva bedöma en muntlig utsaga är något rätten ofta ställs inför. Med anledning av den fria bevisvärderingen som råder får underinstanserna främst söka ledning i de avgöranden som HD meddelat på området. Det finns även inom rättspsykologin gedigen forskning kring bedömningen av en utsaga. Framställningen syftar till att undersöka hur rättsläget avseende tillförlitlighetsbedömningen av en muIn criminal cases, the oral evidence can be the deciding factor for whether the court will convict the defendant or not. However, it is not an easy task to evaluate a statement. By reason of the principle of free evaluation of evidence, the District Court and the Court of Appeal may find guidance in precedent. In order to do the evaluation as accurate as possible, the court may also consider foren

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur synen på en lämplig förälder och föräldrarnas kön framställs och påverkar vid vårdnadstvister samt hur det står i relation till principen om barnets bästa. Det har gjorts genom att analysera, undersöka och diskutera hur föräldrarna beskrivits av socialnämnder och i domar. I uppsatsen har en rättsdogmatisk och en diskursanalytisk metod använts. IThe purpose of this essay is to examine how the issue of a suitable parent and the sex of the parent is described and influences in custody battles and how this relates to the principle of what is best for the child. This has been done by analyzing, examining and discussing how the parents are described by social services and courts. In the essay a classic legal method and a discourse analysis hav

En värdeöverföring innebär att ett bolag gör en vederlagsfri utbetalning till någon annan. Det finns olika typer av värdeöverföringar, men den som ligger i fokus för denna uppsats är den förtäckta värdeöverföringen, som finns i 17 kap. 1 § 1 st. 4 p. ABL och definieras som en ”annan affärshändelse som medför att bolagets förmögenhet minskar och inte har rent affärsmässig karaktär för bolaget”. Såd

This master thesis is a project report of a system identification experiment of pressure sensors in order to characterise their frequency behaviour. The information about the frequency behaviour is for example very useful in the automotive industry, where pressure sensors are used to measure the dynamic pressures in combustion engines. The sensors are identified by means of impulse response analys

A building-integrated multifunctional PV/T solar window was suggested and developed by Andreas Fieber. The solar window is constructed of PV cells laminated on solar absorbers placed in a window behind the glazing. To reduce the costs of solar electricity, tiltable reflectors have been introduced in the construction to focus radiation onto the solar cells. The reflectors make it possible to contro

Insulin plays an important metabolic and transmitter role in the central nervous system, but few studies have investigated the relationship between central and peripheral insulin concentrations. 35 patients undergoing knee surgery had cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples drawn before, 3 h after, and in the morning following surgery. Serum insulin concentrations increased after surgery and CSF insulin
