Ärendet väcker en rad konkurrensrättsliga frågor: Vilken marknad berörs – en bredare plattformsmarknad eller olika marknader för mjukvaruprogram? Är det dominerande företagets skyldigt att på konkurrensrättslig grund dela med sig immaterialrättsligt skyddad kunskap? Vilka effekter ger dessa skyldigheter för informationsflöde mellan konkurrenter - löser myndigheternas bedömning ett problem för att

Background: Genetic polymorphisms associated with common aetiologically complex diseases have recently been identified through genome-wide association studies. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing for such polymorphisms, with provision of absolute genetic risk estimates, is marketed by several commercial companies. Polymorphisms associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) have shown relatively large r

This paper is about the application of Radical Constructivism to the field of archaeology and its consequences.

Many patients with cleft palate deformities worldwide receive treatment at a later age than is recommended for normal speech to develop. The outcomes after late palate repairs in terms of speech and quality of life (QOL) still remain largely unstudied. In the current study, questionnaires were used to assess the patients' perception of speech and QOL before and after primary palate repair. All of

BACKGROUND: Proliferative markers are not recommended as prognostic factors for clinical use in breast cancer due to lack of standardization in methodology. However, proliferation is driving several gene expression signatures emphasizing the need for a reliable proliferative marker for clinical use. Studies suggest that cyclin A is a prognostic marker with satisfying reproducibility. We investigat

Few studies have examined the association between LS in the oldest-old and not only health-related, but also psychological and socio-economical factors. The aim of this study was to examine LS in relation to functional capacity, locus of control (LoC) health status and other factors previously known to influence LS in the oldest-old. The study population consisted of 681 individuals aged 78-98 yea

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is well known that physicians' night-call duty may cause impaired performance and adverse effects on subjective health, but there is limited knowledge about effects on sleep duration and recovery time. In recent years occupational stress and impaired well-being among anaesthesiologists have been frequently reported for in the scientific literature. Given their main focus o

Background A routine goal in the analysis of microarray data is to identify genes with expression levels that correlate with known classes of experiments. In a growing number of array data sets, it has been shown that there is an over-abundance of genes that discriminate between known classes as compared to expectations for random classes. Therefore, one can search for novel classes in array data

The concentrations of ''free'' chloride and hydroxide ions in extracted pore solution from concrete exposed and submerged in a marine field station were studied by the pore solution expression method. In addition, the corresponding concentrations of total acid soluble chloride in the concrete was analyzed. The relationship between total and free chlorides was analyzed and compared with similar dat
