Background and purpose The Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) XIV protocol was based upon the organisations experience from 3 previous osteosarcoma trials and was considered best standard of care for patients with extremity localised, non-metastatic osteosarcoma. We report the outcome of this protocol. Patients and methods From March 2001 to April 2005, 63 patients recruited from 10 centres in Finla

Overexpression of Foxf2 in adipose tissue is associated with lower levels of IRS1 and decreased glucose uptake in vivo. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 298: E548-E554, 2010. First published December 15, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00395.2009.-Many members of the forkhead genes family of transcription factors have
Gene-lifestyle interactions have been suggested to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Glucose levels 2 h after a standard 75-g glucose challenge are used to diagnose diabetes and are associated with both genetic and lifestyle factors. However, whether these factors interact to determine 2-h glucose levels is unknown. We meta-analyzed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) X BMI and SN
OBJECTIVE-To develop a model for the prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk on the basis of a multivariate logistic model and 1-h plasma glucose concentration (1-h PG). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-The model was developed in a cohort of 1,562 non-diabetic subjects from the San Antonio Heart Study (SAHS) and validated in 2,395 nondiabetic subjects in the Botnia Study. A risk score on the
Packaging stands for the largest use of plastic today and increased recycling of plastic packaging must be urged to maintain our natural resources. Plastic packaging is essential in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, however the environmental impact of plastic packaging implies that the industry should take responsibility in this matter. The purpose of this study is to define which ac
Nature has provided us with delicious and nutritious food for many years. It is estimated that one third of all edible food is wasted globally. This means a substantial loss of resources. Consumers are unaware of the great amount of avoidable food waste that is created from household consumption and the environmental impact it has. It is of great importance to increase consumer awareness to reduce
Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa
The European furniture industry is driven to change from linear to circular business models. Product-service systems (PSS) are considered to offer promising solutions that may enable the transition towards the circular economy. In the furniture industry, one example of a product-service system is the furnishing rental service. However, understanding of how such a service could be developed and imp
Miljöproblemen har länge varit ett aktuellt och omtalat diskussionsämne som man aktivt jobbat för att begränsa och minska människans negativa klimatpåverkan med målsättningar samt nya lagar och krav. Byggsektorn står idag för en betydande del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp och för att ha möjlighet att uppnå de mål som finns i Parisavtalet krävs åtgärder i byggbranschen. Klimatneutralitet är ett rela
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur de uppdaterade kriterierna i certifieringssystemet Miljöbyggnad påverkar hållbarhetsmålen inom bygg- och fastighetssektorn. Arbetet utgår från den centrala problematiken att byggsektorn är en av de största källorna till utsläpp och negativ miljöpåverkan. Miljöcertifieringssystem har potentialen att minska den negativa miljöpåverkan inom bygg- och fastighetssektorThis thesis examines how the updated criteria in the Miljöbyggnad certification system affect sustainability goals in the construction and real estate sector. The work is based on that the construction sector is one of the largest sources of emissions and negative environmental impact. Environmental assessment methods have the potential to reduce the negative environmental impact of the constructi
Stiftelser är en verksamhetsform som kan spåra sina rötter tillbaka till medeltiden. En stiftelse är en självständig förmögenhet som avskiljer egendom för att tillgodose ett särskilt ändamål. Historiskt sett har permutationsförfarandet utövats genom sedvana och konstitutionellt ansvar under Kungl. Majt. Idag är permutationsrätten reglerad i 6 kap 1 § stiftelselagen och tillåter stiftelser att ändr
Being a woman living in an abusive relationship is tearing but leaving your abuser is a difficult and complex process. Although intimate partner violence and men's violence against women have received increased research attention, the process of leaving your abuser and what happens after that has received less attention. Therefore, this study aimed to explore how women who have left an abusive
Bristande tillgänglighet är en unik diskrimineringsform. I viss utsträckning kräver diskrimineringsformen att arbetsgivaren anpassar arbetet för funktionsnedsatta i behov av särskild anpassning, med mål att individen hamnar i jämförbar situation med andra medarbetare. Denna har nära band med indirekt diskriminering. Ofta åberopas dessa i kombination med varandra, och i vissa länder har denna nära
Uppsatsen undersöker bolagsrevisorns externa skadeståndsansvar enligt 29 kap. 1–2 §§ aktiebolagslagen (2005:551). Då det externa ansvaret är fokus för uppsatsen behandlar uppsatsen skyddet för aktieägare och andra tredje män. Normskyddslärans betydelse för det externa skadeståndsansvaret är centralt för uppsatsen. I uppsatsen tillämpas en rättsdogmatisk metod. Metoden tillämpas då uppsatsen ämnar
