This pictorial review highlights cancers detected only at tomosynthesis screening and screens falsely recalled in the course of breast tomosynthesis screening, illustrating both true-positive (TP) and false-positive (FP) detection attributed to tomosynthesis. Images and descriptive data were used to characterise cases of screen-detection with tomosynthesis, sourced from prospective screening trial
The persistently high annual numbers of rape in Sweden and numerous legal amendments following internal critique, prove the legal response to be ineffective for the subjects of the protection of the law. Viewed in combination with the prevalence of detrimental conceptions of sexuality and rape, this actualizes questions regarding the potential for and shape of influences on the decision-making act
RNA interference (RNAi) plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in most eukaryotic organisms. On a basic level it is a protein complex named RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) that binds a RNA strand, a micro RNA (miRNA) or a small interfering RNA (siRNA), which guides it to its intended target, an mRNA. The RISC then disrupts translation of the bound mRNA, either by restricting it t
Bakgrund: Hälsoläget och dödligheten bland schizofrena patienter är i jämförelse med normalpopulationen klart försämrad. Patientgruppen dör i genomsnitt 10-20 år tidigare och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar (CVD) är särskilt utmärkande. Patientgruppen lever stillasittande liv i högre utsträckning, men fysisk aktivitet, fysisk träning och ökad fysisk fitness har i flera studier visat sig ha goda hälsoeff
För varje detaljplan som en svensk kommun behandlar skall en påverkansbedömning göras där planens miljöpåverkan undersöks. Om påverkan utifrån bedömningen antas vara betydande skall detta utredas vidare. Kommunerna får dock själva avgöra hur bedömningen genomförs, och kontrollen av bedömningen är svag. Studien undersöker vad detta lett till genom att granska vilka metoder som används idag, och vilThe environmental impact of each new detailed development plan must in some way be assessed in Sweden. If the impact is deemed be significant, this must be further investigated. However, the municipalities can determine themselves how the assessment is done, and the monitoring of the assessment is weak. The study examines the consequences of this by screening what methods are used for the assessme
The aim of this study was to investigate how Palestinian refugee women in refugee camps perceive themselves as actors who affect and influence their lives and communities. Research shows it is a topic that is not often discussed or highlighted in today’s discourse about refugees. The material was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight Palestinian women in a Palestinian refugee cam

Aerial spraying is common procedure at banana plantations in Costa Rica even though the plantations often are situated very close to villages. The fungicide Mancozeb, which is metabolized into the more toxic substance ETU, is one of the pesticides used in aerial sprayings. This thesis has evaluated the exposure of ETU to children living in one of these villages and compared that exposure to differ
There is a constant need for the fire and rescue service to develop new methods, materials and extinguishing media to implement the most effective firefighting operations as possible while minimizing environmental impacts. The effect of additives in the extinguishing water is fairly unknown. In this report small-scale experiments shows that additives and fire retardants can provide a significant i
EU:s mervärdesskattesystem är idag uppbyggt kring destinationslandsprincipen, vilket innebär att försäljning till annat land inom EU inte påläggs någon skatt. Mervärdesskatt upptas istället i destinationslandet. Detta var till en början tänkt som en övergångs-ordning. Den slutliga ordningen för mervärdesbeskattningens vidkommande var tänkt att baseras på ursprungslandsprincipen, där skatt läggs påThe European VAT system is built around the destination principle, which means that intra-community sales are exempt from taxation. Instead VAT is collected in the buyers member state. This system is in fact an interim system, and according to art. 402 of the VAT directive must be replaced by a system based on the origin principle. This would mean that VAT is also levied on intra-community sales b
Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi
Sysav tar emot och förbränner brännbart avfall i ett avfallskraftvärmeverk. Vid förbränningen bildas rökgaser som bland annat innehåller svaveloxid. Rökgaserna behöver gå igenom en avsvavlingsprocess eftersom svaveloxid utgör en stor hälsofara på grund av sin toxicitet. Reningsprocessen för rökgaserna består av två skrubbar. I första skrubbern tvättas rökgaserna med vatten och liten mängs kalkslu
Design, as a principal function for innovation in business, governments, and other social units, can play a critical role in creating sustainable solutions. While current debates acknowledge expanding design scope and continuing competencies that distinctively qualify design professionals for undertaking sustainability challenges, design schools in higher education institutions are struggling to m
This thesis is divided in two with a theoretical research question as well as a practical research question. The theoretical question I sought answered was: Can architects support democracy? The question was sought answered through a literature study from which I concluded that especially two out of the many prerequisites for democracy relates to architectural practice: A need for a sense of “we”
In light of a growing realization at the global level that the world’s agricultural system needs to change, the Dutch ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality recently announced its desire to transition into a circular agricultural system: a system where biomass and nutrient loops are closed at the lowest level of governance possible. However, as transitions are highly complex and the Dutc
En av EU:s grundläggande principer är den fria rörligheten för personer som även ska gälla för familjemedlemmar. Då varje medlemsstats familjerättsliga lagreglering omfattas av begreppet skydd för den nationella identiteten, befinner sig området utanför EU:s lagstiftningskompetens. Harmonisering av medlemsstaternas nationella lagstiftningar i frågan är därför inte aktuellt då det medför en begränsFree movement of persons is one of the fundamental principles of the EU, which also applies to members of the family. The family law is governed nationally to preserve the national identity; therefore, it is outside of EU’s legislative competence. The harmonisation of the national legislation in question, therefore, is not appropriate as it implies a limitation on a state’s national identity. The
