This paper analyses John Buridan’s approach to the notion of syllogism by putting it in the institutional and doctrinal contexts where he belongs, that is, the faculty of arts of the University of Paris and its Aristotelian logical tradition. The analysis aims to ascertain Buridan’s innovative contribution to the history of logic by underscoring the points of continuation and rupture with respect
Summary Background: The aim was to assess sexual risk-taking behaviour in a sample of Swedish youth who were sexually active while travelling abroad and to examine possible associations with sexual risk-taking behaviour during such travel.Methods: From a population-based sample of 2189 Swedes 18e29 years 768 who were sexually active while abroad, were assessed by a questionnaire concerning socio-d
This thesis is about the legal protection of the Intellectual Property (IP) of the design of the graphical user interface (GUI) for computer programs aka software. The research into this matter of law was done by finding out and analysing how this protection is provided through international treaties, statutory law and case law. It concludes that there is a certain amount of legal uncertainty with
In Sweden today we have an electric power system which is changing. In context of the set energy- and climate goals the use of the transmission grid has started to adjust with consequences for the underlying sub-transmission grid. The situation is special since these two grids are firmly interconnected to each other, but are run by different companies. E.ON who is the operator of the sub-transmiss
The RELOC-AGE program addresses knowledge gaps on associations between housing, relocation, and active and healthy aging. The aim of this study was to investigate preferred housing attributes, and whether such attributes differed depending on desired type of dwelling or individual characteristics, among adults in Sweden aged 55 years and older with an expressed interest in relocation. From the Pro
The acylative modification of IDN 5390 (3a), a 7,8-secotaxoid under preclinical development, was investigated. A modest decrease of potency was observed upon acylation of the primary and the enolic hydroxyls, suggesting that, just like in paclitaxel, the hydroxyl groups in the upper right-hand sector are not critical for cytotoxicity. The activity of these analogues, and especially of the chemical
OBJECTIVE: To present our results of non-surgical primary management of appendiceal abscesses using ultrasonic percutaneous drainage under local anaesthesia, and selective interval appendicectomy. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: University hospital, Sweden. SUBJECTS: 24 patients with appendiceal abscesses 3-12 cm in size. INTERVENTIONS: Primary ultrasonic percutaneous drainage under local an
Objective: To investigate prolactin levels and related side effects in 128 men and 90 women initially treated with risperidone. Method: Patients initially treated with risperidone were followed over 5 years, during which 45% were switched to other antipsychotic drugs. Results: Initially, prolactin levels were fivefold the norm in women, and threefold in men. Diagnosis did not affect the prolactin
Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy such as fluticasone propionate (FP) is effective in moderate-to-severe asthma, but for patients on ICS who still experience symptoms, treatment guidelines recommend either increasing the dose of ICS or adding a long-acting beta2-agonist such as salmeterol or formoterol. Several studies have now shown that adding salmeterol provides greater clinical benefit than
In neutron grating interferometry, the dark-field image visualizes the scattering properties of samples in the small-angle and ultra-small-angle scattering range. These angles correspond to correlation lengths from several hundred nanometers up to several tens of micrometers. In this article, we present an experimental study that demonstrates the potential of quantitative neutron dark-field imagin
Randomised control trials (RCTs) do not always reflect real-life outcomes for glucose-lowering drugs. In this work we compared RCT and real-life data on the efficacy of the dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-4) inhibitor vildagliptin or sulfonylureas when added to metformin.
Vascular endothelial cells that are in direct contact with blood flow are exposed to fluid shear stress and regulate vascular homeostasis. Studies report endothelial cells to release ATP in response to shear stress that in turn modulates cellular functions via P2 receptors with P2X4 mediating shear stress-induced calcium signaling and vasodilation. A recent study shows that a loss-of-function poly
The issue of natural and forced groundwater movements, and its effect on the performance of ground heat exchangers is of great importance for the design and sizing of borehole thermal energy systems (BTESs). In Scandinavia groundwater filled boreholes in hard rock are commonly used. In such boreholes one or more intersecting fractures provide a path for groundwater flow between the borehole and th
Mikhlin's method for solving Laplace's equation in domains exterior to a number of closed contours is discussed with particular emphasis on the Dirichlet-Neutnann map. In the literature there already exit tyro computational modes for Mikhlin's method. Here a new mode is presented. The new mode is at least as stable as the previous modes. Furthermore, its computational complexity in the number of c
Palaeoecological analyses from a small fen deposit, combined with pollen analysis from buried soil profiles under prehistoric burial mounds, have been used to investigate the timing and vegetation change associated with the Holocene development of a cultural landscape in southern Sweden. Traditional pollen analysis is complemented with plant macrofossil analysis and soil pollen analysis from withi
Problem: Kan den externa värderingen, i form av aktiekursen, förklaras av en enskild aktivitet eller av flera aktiviteter i läkemedelsföretagens produktlivscykler? Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att pröva om förändringar i läkemedelsföretagens börskursutvecklingar kan förklaras av aktiviteter i företagens produktlivscykler. Metod: För att på bästa sätt uppfylla vårt syfte är uppsatsen indelad
Sammanfattning: Arbetets syfte var att göra en utvecklingshistorisk tolkning av området kring Örseryd, mellersta Blekinge. Ett 2000 x 600 m stort område ytkarterades, varefter olika enheter definierades och korrelerades med tidigare undersökningar utförda i Blekinge. Arbetet koncentrerades sedan till torvmarksområden påträffade under ytkarteringen. Tre torvmarksområden kan urskiljas inom undersöknSummary: The aim of this investigation was to study the Holocene history of a river valley near the village of Örseryd, situated in the middle part of the county of Blekinge in South Sweden. Covering 2000 x 600 m the area was investigated by survey mapping. Grain size analysis were made on representative samples and the different sediments were correlated to lithostratigraphic units defined in ear
