OBJECTIVES: We examined approaches to reduce sodium content of food served in settings operated or funded by the government of the County of Los Angeles, California.METHODS: We adapted health impact assessment methods to mathematically simulate various levels of reduction in the sodium content of food served by the County of Los Angeles and to estimate the reductions' potential impacts on mean sys
Even with the availability of targeted drugs, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only therapy with curative potential for patients with CLL. Cure can be assessed by comparing long-term survival of patients to the matched general population. Using data from 2589 patients who received allo-HCT between 2000 and 2010, we used landmark analyses and methods from relative sur
In 2014 a small fire started in a forest in central Sweden. Within a few days it developed into the largest wildfire in Sweden in the last 50 years. As the scale of the fire increased, so did the need for direction and coordination of the resources engaged in the response operation. Both official investigators and the research community have studied the challenges and come up with recommendations
The survival of grafts of dissociated allogeneic fetal neural dopamine (DA) rich tissue in the striatum has been studied after transplantation between inbred strains of mice differing at defined immunogenetical loci between donor and recipient. Six to 7 weeks and 15 weeks after grafting, surviving grafted DA neurons were found in the brains of all the recipients, albeit with a large variation in n
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) consists of two syndromes, one autoantibody-positive and one autoantibody-negative. Existing data on the relation between age of onset and prevalence of autoantibodies were conflicting. Therefore this multicohort study assessed the age of onset in relation to the presence of autoantibodies. The association with characteristics of the anti-citrullinated protein
A dosimeter gel, based on an agarose gel infused with a ferrous sulphate solution and evaluated in a magnetic resonance scanner, was used for complete verification of calculated dose distributions. Two standard treatment procedures, treatment of cancer in the urinary bladder and treatment of breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy, were examined using pixel-by-pixel and dose volume histogr
A new technique for assessing tissue blood flow using hyperpolarized tracers, based on the fact that the magnetization of a hyperpolarized substance can be destroyed permanently, is described. Assessments of blood flow with this technique are inherently insensitive to arterial delay and dispersion, and allow for quantification of the transit time and dispersion in the arteries that supply the inve
We review the main results concerning high-order generation processes from the point of view of a potential user of this new source of XUV radiation. The perspectives for optimizing the source, both in efficiency and in spectral range, its characteristics and in particular, its coherence properties, are discussed. Finally, we describe two experiments, which demonstrate the usefulness of the harmon
Some scholars maintain that pre-industrial England was held in a Malthusian ‘trap’, and that this trap prevented the sustained growth of real wages until as late as 1800. Opponents to this view argue that the structural transformations occurring in preindustrial England – urbanization, labour reallocation between sectors, and human capital investments – are features of development that are incompa
Människors köpmönster ändras i takt med att digitala lösningar blir en allt mer integrerad del i deras vardag. Det blir allt lättare att hitta produktinformation och inköp kan utföras var som helst. Denna förändring är lätt att se inom de flesta delar av detaljhandeln, men inom livsmedelsbranschen är förändringen inte lika tydlig. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att genomföra en analys av köpmAs digital solutions become a more integrated part of peoples’ everyday life, their purchasing patterns are changing. Today it is easier to research products and purchases can be performed anytime, anywhere. The change is apparent in most retail sectors but not as much in the fast moving consumer goods sector. By using a user-centred approach this master thesis aim to analyse the user behaviour wi
Objective: Primary adrenal insufficiency [Addison's disease (AD)] is rare, and systematic studies are few, mostly conducted on small patient samples. We aimed to determine the clinical, immunological, and genetic features of a national registry-based cohort. Design: Patients with AD identified through a nationwide search of diagnosis registries were invited to participate in a survey of clinical f
Syftet av detta arbete är att visa hur en person utan insiderinformation kan kartlägga nybyggnationen av kontorsfastigheter och utvärdera huruvida det är en balans mellan utbud och efterfrågan på denna marknad. Arbetet grundar sig i antagandet att det finns en obalans i utbud och efterfrågan på Malmös framtida kontorsmarknad. Till arbetet samlades information från hemsidor, marknadsundersökningar
Justitiedepartementet har lagt fram en promemoria i vilken ett förslag om utökat byråjäv tas upp. Om förslaget går igenom innebär det att de, i småföretag, vanliga kombiuppdragen förbjuds. Många småföretag skulle därmed behöva anlita ytterligare en revisionsbyrå med ökade kostnader som följd. För att underlätta för småföretagen har det föreslagits att revisionsplikten för dessa ska slopas. Syftet
Den här uppsatsen handlar om språkförändring i några utvalda bebyggelsenamn i socknarna Allerum, Kattarp och Kropp i Luggude härad. Syftet är att undersöka vilka strukturellt respektive socialt betingade orsaker till förändring som förekommer i bebyggelsenamnen med utgångspunkt från namnens tidigaste skriftliga belägg, vilka ordelement som ingår, analys och tolkning av dessa samt hur de utvecklats
Titel: Diversity markering ett komplement till marketing management? Nivå: Kandidatuppsats, Helsingborg maj 2009 Författare: Pia Albinsson, Emma Granat & Cecilia Törnell Handledare: Christer Eldh & Veronica Åberg Problematisering: Vi anser det viktigt att ifrågasätta diversity marketing och undersöka hur det verkligen fungerar i praktiken gentemot vad teorierna säger. Många företag som ida
Skiljedomsrätt är sedan urminnes tider en använd tvistelösningsmetod. Hänvisningar till skiljerätt finns att hitta i både romersk och gammalgrekisk rätt, så som Digesta, Codex Iustinianus och Novellae. Även Sverige har en lång tradition av kommersiellt skiljeförfarande och metoden har nyttjats som ända sedan Hansan etablerades. Förmodligen har skiljeförfarandet även använts för att avgöra kommersiArbitration is an immemorial dispute settlement method with references to be found in both Roman and ancient Greek law, such as Digesta, Codex Iustinianus and Novellae. Sweden also has a long tradition of commercial arbitration and it has been used as a dispute settlement method at least since the Hanseatic League was established. It is also believed that arbitration was used to settle commercial
Somatic mutation activity in immunoglobulin V kappa genes during the response to the hapten 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone was measured in lymph node B-cell populations at various timepoints after footpad immunization. When the V kappa Ox1 genes rearranged to the J kappa 5 segment were amplified from genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and sequenced, somatic mutations could be detected as early
Biosynthesis of decorin was investigated by incubating a rat fibroblast cell line with various radiolabelled protein and galactosaminoglycan precursors. The following cell-associated and distinct intermediates were isolated and identified: a pool of non-glycosylated core protein, two pools of decorin with incomplete chains, one with three sulphated disaccharide repeats and another with five or mor
