Background: Early hospital arrival and rapid intervention for acute myocardial infarction is essential for a successful outcome. Several studies have been unable to identify explanatory factors that slowed decision time. The present study examines whether personality, psychosocial factors, and coping strategies might explain differences in time delay from onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infa
The Nordic countries Sweden and Denmark have a long and intertwined history. The Second World War, though, formed different experiences in the two countries that led to diverging paths in the Cold War. Denmark became a member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization, while Sweden stayed non-aligned. Thus, it can be assumed that Denmark was more likely to adopt Western foreign policies and doctrines t
The feasibility of measuring g-factors using the TDPAD method applied to high-energy, heavy fragmentation products is explored. The 2623 keV I-pi = 12(+) isomer in Pb-192 with tau = 1.57 mu s has been produced using the fragmentation of a 1 A GeV U-238 beam. The results presented demonstrate for the first time that such heavy nuclei produced in a fragmentation reaction with a relativistic beam are
Premise of the study: Storage oil (triacylglycerol) accumulates in tissues such as the embryo and endosperm of seeds and the fruit mesocarp, but seldom in underground organs. As a rare exception, cultivated variants of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) contain high amounts of both oil and starch in the mature tubers. Methods: Biochemical analyses and light and electron microscopy were used to s
This thesis addresses different aspects of the legal perspective on the patentability, valuation, and scope of biotech patents in the European Union and the United States when mergers & acquisitions transactions are in question. To facilitate mergers & acquisition of a biotechnology company a specific regulatory environment must be established, particularly what effects the most such trans
En stor del av narkotikaförsäljningen sker idag via internet och distribueras genom det nationella postflödet där köpare inte sällan får hem försändelserna direkt i sin brevlåda. Mot bakgrund av detta föreslår 2021 års postlagsutredning (SOU 2021:29) ökade möjligheter för de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna att förhindra denna illegala handel. Utredningen föreslår bland annat att ge personal inom po
Introduction: International cooperation is essential for public health, as countries need to access medical equipment, combat health crises, and strengthen health capacities. Medical Diplomacy is a concept and practices that combines the goals of improving intergovernmental relations and health, by initiating and facilitating intergovernmental health cooperation. Objectives: This study specificall
Uppsatsen har granskat svenska myndigheters möjligheter att omedelbart tvångsomhänderta barn med hjälp av LVU. Detta har undersökts i relation till barn som har och inte har sin hemvist i Sverige samt i relation till barn vars hemvist inte kan fastställas. Både Bryssel II-förordningen och LVU har an-vänts för att redovisa gällande regler kring fastställande av barnets hemvist samt förutsättningar The aim of this thesis is to investigate the Swedish regulations regarding immediate care taking of children, especially regarding children whose place of residence is in another EU-country. The Brussels II regulation ap- plies to decisions to take into care and place a child. Article 8 Brussels II regulation states that the courts of a Member State are to have jurisdiction in matters of parental
Investeringar är per automatik behäftade med risker och osäkerheter. För utländska investerare, vars investeringar oftast är långsiktiga, är det dessutom svårare att planera och förutse potentiella risker. Bilaterala investeringsavtal (”BIT”) syftar till att ge utländska investerare skydd och ett sätt att tillvarata detta skydd. Investeringsskyddet har gett investerare bättre möjlighet att planeraInvestments are per definition subject to risk and uncertainties. In the case of foreign investments, that usually are long-term, it is even more difficult to plan and anticipate potential risks. Bilateral investment treaty (“BIT”) aim to provide foreign investors with protection and a way to deal with risk. Investment protection has given investors an opportunity to better plan their business, wi
A method of correcting the asymmetry in the scattering of the tangential beam configuration in a rheo-small-angle neutron scattering experiment is proposed. The asymmetry of the scattering in the tangential beam configuration can be attributed to the difference in pathlength for neutrons that are scattered toward compared with those which are scattered away from the axis of rotation of the shear c
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of estradiol and tamoxifen alone and in combination on the estrogen binding site status of the urogenital tract in the rabbit. Bilaterally ovariectomized rabbits were divided into four groups of six. Wereas the control group received no treatment, the remaining rabbits were treated with estrogen orland tamoxifen. Cytosolic and nuclear fractions w
Learning disability is common, affecting 1-2.5% of the general population in the Western world, and encompasses many different conditions. It usually leads to major functional impairment and lifelong need for support and interventions, not the least important of which are medical and health-care services. Rapid progress is being made in the understanding of the cause and pathogenesis of many learn
DNA copy number aberrations (CNAs) are a hallmark of cancer genomes. However, little is known about how such changes affect global gene expression. We develop a modeling framework, EPoC (Endogenous Perturbation analysis of Cancer), to (1) detect disease-driving CNAs and their effect on target mRNA expression, and to (2) stratify cancer patients into long-and short-term survivors. Our method constr
Numerous studies have been performed aimed at limiting the extent of retinal injury after ischemia, but there is still no effective pharmacological treatment available. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α and its receptors (TNF-R1 and TNF-R2), especially considering the neuroretina and the retinal vasculature since the retinal blood vessels are key
Descriptive sensory analysis was used to characterize the flavor changes of peanuts during boiling. The attributes investigated were rawness, astringency, and bitterness. Samples of peanut sauce prepared with seed coating and without seed coating and taken at different cooking times (1, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min) were compared. A descriptive panel (N = 16 peanuts with coating and N = 17 pea
Landscape-scale land use is important in driving species communities and interactions. However, despite increasing concerns regarding the ecological consequences of insect declines, our understanding of how the relative proportions of different land cover types influence insect herbivory in species-rich semi-natural habitats remains limited. This study assessed leaf, stem, and flower herbivory acr
