Bone and soft tissue tumors (BSTT) belong to a diverse group of solid tumors of mesenchymal origin, with a large number of histological types affecting individuals of all ages. The general aim of the present thesis (Articles I-V) was to investigate in detail the genetic aberrations in selected subtypes of benign and malignant BSTT. Aberrations identified by chromosome banding analysis were studied
The sensitivity of biosensors can be increased substantially by incorporation in a substrate recycling scheme. Based on the amplification of NAD+/NADH by the recycling reaction catalyzed by glycerol dehydrogenase (GDH) and diaphorase, NAD+/NADH can be determined amperometrically with around 1000 times higher sensitivity than for the substrate sensing mode. The sensitivity of enzyme electrodes were
The general aim of this thesis was to study how memorial places and objects serve as links and meeting points between the bereaved and their conceptions and memories of the departed. This has been examined in several different ways, from various viewpoints, and placed in different contexts and periods in time. The general result is that there are several and complementary ways through which materi

The numbers of Somali immigrants in Sweden has increased during the last years and there is a need of more competence for teaching Swedish as a second language to this group.Star This paper investigates aspects of difficulties in the pronunciation of Swedish for Somali speakers. Recordings of two Somali speakers living in Sweden have been analyzed and it is obvious that there are pronunciation dif
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det stora flertalet bakterier som människan kommer i kontakt med är helt ofarliga och i vissa fall även nyttiga, eller till och med nödvändiga för oss. De bakterier som orsakar sjukdom utgör således en liten minoritet, men åsamkar trots det stort lidande och höga kostnader i alla världens länder. En av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna heter Streptococcus pThe bacterial surface can be thought of as the interface where pathogenic bacteria encounter the human host. Interactions between bacterial surface proteins and human proteins are important determinants of the eventual outcome of infection. A bacterial protein, Protein F1, that binds the human plasma and connective tissue protein fibronectin, was found to reduce the virulence of Streptococcus pyog
Radionuclide imaging of cardiac function represents a number of well-validated techniques for accurate determination of right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and LV volumes. These first European guidelines give recommendations for how and when to use first-pass and equilibrium radionuclide ventriculography, gated myocardial perfusion scintigraphy, gated PET, and studies with
“Energy Futures Øresund” is the final report on the energy system of the Øresund Region. It comprises a regional overview of the current state and trends of selected energy systems, discussions on potential technological solutions to overcome barriers and an analysis of the energy strategy of the island Bornholm. The report forms the basis for further strategic energy planning of Energi Öresund, a
The UWB circular disc monopole (CDM) antenna has been previously used for positioning applications. But at higher frequencies, its pattern does not remain omnidirectional in azimuth and it tends to shift upward. We propose new structures for both monopole radiator and ground plane to yield an antenna with a stabilized radiation pattern. Comparing the main lobe characteristics of the proposed and C
This work concerns an experimental study of pressure drop and heat transfer for turbulent flow inside a U-duct. Such duct geometries can be found in many engineering applications where cooling air extracts heat from hot internal walls of the duct, e.g., passage cooling inside gas turbine blades. Both friction factors and convective heat transfer coefficients were measured inside a U-duct for three
This edition of The Life of Saint Bathilde consists of four different versions in prose. All the authors of the versions are anonymous. The first version is preserved in three manuscripts; this edition is based on Paris, Bibl. Nat. ms. fr. 23112, which was copied by a Picardian scribe in the thirteenth century. The edition of the second version, preserved in four manuscripts, is based on Paris, Bi

The structure and motion problem of multiple one- dimensional projections of a two-dimensional environment is studied. One-dimensional cameras have proven useful in several different applications, most prominently for autonomous guided vehicles, but also in ordinary vision for analysing planar motion and the projection of lines. Previous results on one-dimensional vision are limited to classifying
This paper presents the first results of analyzing the functions of intonation and word order in Puyuma. Puyuma is an endangered Austronesian language spoken in Taiwan. As other languages of this branch, Puyuma is verb initial and displays variations in word order, so that VOS, SVO and VSO are attested. The aim of our study is to explain these word variations. We investigate the connection between
