En kärnfråga i miljömålsarbetet rör hur miljömålen kan respektive bör användas vid tillämpningen av miljöbalkens olika styrmedel. Rapporten redogör för olika aktörers erfarenheter och åsikter i dessa frågor. Forskningen bygger på djupintervjuer med personer inom bland annat kommuner, länsstyrelser, miljödomstolar och näringslivet. Fokus ligger på två styrmedel: tillstånd till miljöfarlig verksamhe
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer worldwide with more than 700,000 deaths every year. Prognosis mostly depends on disease stage at diagnosis, however, outcome may vary considerably even within the same stage. Thus, there is a great need for new prognostic biomarkers to better identify patients with a high risk of developing metastases and select right patients for adjuvant tr
Many patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) require parathyroidectomy (PTX). Trends and current rates of PTX on a national level are not known. Furthermore, it is not completely clear which factors influence rates of PTX. Thus, our aim was to investigate the incidence, regional distribution and factors associated with PTX as well as possible temporal changes, in the Swedish RRT population.
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. DC-SIGN, encoded by CD209, is a receptor capable of binding and internalizing Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Previous studies have reported that the CD209 promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-336A/G exerts an effect on CD209 expression and is associated with human susceptibility t
In modern standard Swedish genitive is marked by -s, which, according to the standard analyses, is a phrasal clitic, viz. [mannen på gatan]s åsikt (man on street-s opinion). In dialects in parts of Småland, Halland, and Västergötland a variant on -a or -e, here called a-genitive, is used, primarily on proper names, viz. Erik-a bil (Erik-gen car) ‘Erik’s car’, a form that should be compared to the
This paper presents a technique for reconstructing two interfering wavefronts by analyzing their 3D interference field pattern. The method is based on the numerical inverse problem and will present a robust algorithm for reconstructing of wavefronts. Several simulations are done to validate the proposed method.

In nearly all papers concerning enzyme-nanoparticle based bio-electronic devices, it is stated that the presence of nanoparticles on electrode surfaces per se enhances bioelectrocatalysis, although the reasons for that enhancement are often unclear. Here, we report detailed experimental evidence that neither an overpotential of bioelectrocatalysis, nor direct electron transfer and bioelectrocataly
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna studie var att (I) utvärdera sambandet mellan övervikt mätt med det s.k. body mass index (BMI) och operation med höftleds- eller knäledsprotes (konstgjord led) på grund av artros, (II) utvärdera sambandet mellan mekanisk belastning på grund av yrke och operation med höftleds- eller knäledsprotes på grund av artros, (III) utvärdera naturalförloppet för eThe purpose of this study was to (I) assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and total hip replacement (THR) and total knee replacement (TKR) due to osteoarthritis (OA), (II) assess the association between the mechanical load of work and THR and TKR due to OA, (III) evaluate the natural history of radiographic hip OA with regards to THR and hip fracture, (IV) to determine the prevalen

Objectives. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potentially serious complication of hospitalization and immobilization. The use of anticoagulant prophylaxis in acutely ill medical inpatients is still under debate. New data including a recent meta-analysis have recently been published. We aim at studying the efficacy and safety of anticoagulant prophylaxis in acutely ill medical inpatients, and demon
OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of lipid lowering drug, simvastatin, on apolipoprotein M expression in the hyperlipidemic mice and in hepatic cell line, HepG2 cells. METHODS: Swiss male mice were randomly divided into the high fat group and control group, and were intragastrically fed with 0.9% saline (control group) or lipid emulsion (high fat group) at the daily dosage of 15 ml/kg body weight
The Sondrum stone quarry (Halmstad, SW Sweden) exposes a transition from migmatized granitic gneissic country rock into a foliated clinopyroxene-free granitic gneiss, and then a central pegmatoid dyke dominated by clinopyroxene megacrysts. This transition zone represents a fracture-controlled, fluid-alteration zone that developed under conditions of 650-700 degrees C and 790MPa. Mineral chemical t
Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for both trachoma and sexually transmitted infections, causing substantial morbidity and economic cost globally. Despite this, our knowledge of its population and evolutionary genetics is limited. Here we present a detailed phylogeny based on whole-genome sequencing of representative strains of C. trachomatis from both trachoma and lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV
Background Prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths. For diagnosis, predicting the outcome of the disease, and for assessing potential new biomarkers, pathologists and researchers routinely analyze histological samples. Morphological and molecular information may be integrated by aligning microscopic histological images in a multiplex fashion. This process is usually

Acidogenic fermentation of wastewater can serve as a first step in a process for mixed culture production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) since the produced volatile fatty acids (VFA) are preferred substrates for PHA production. Acidogenic fermentation of industrial wastewaters (cheese whey permeate and three pulp and paper mill effluents) was evaluated in batch and continuous experiments. From the
