Background: Activating KRAS mutations are common in ovarian carcinomas of low histological grade, less advanced clinical stage and mucinous histological subtype, and form part of the distinct molecular alterations associated with type I tumors in the dualistic model of ovarian carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated the occurrence, clinicopathological correlates and prognostic significance of specif

This work investigates the prospective impacts of climate change on wind-driven rain (WDR) and walls through simulating the hygrothermal performance of rain screen of common vertical wall constructions for the climatic conditions of Gothenburg in Sweden. While a substantial amount of work has been done on the impact of climate change on the thermal performance of buildings, this paper studies its

The concentrations of the monoamine metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (HMPG) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with clinical frontotemporal dementia (FTD; n = 30), early onset Alzheimer's disease (EAD; n = 33), late onset Alzheimer's disease (LAD, n = 27) and normal controls (n = 31) were determined using HPLC. A

A positive relationship between daily physical activity and aerobic fitness exists in adults. Studies in children have given conflicting results, possibly because of differences in methods used to assess daily physical activity and fitness. No study regarding daily physical activity and fitness in children has been published, where fitness has been assessed by direct measurement of maximum oxygen

In this paper, we analyse in detail two famous space weather events; a railway problem on 13-14 July 1982 and a power blackout on 30 October 2003. Both occurred in Sweden during very intensive space weather storms and each of them a few years after the sunspot maximum. This paper provides a description of the conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind leading to the two GIC events on the ground.

Summary The leaking of water through roofs is a major problem in many parts of Tunisia. As a part of a collaboration between "École N: ionale d'Ingénieurs de Tunis" (E.N.I.T.) and Lund University, Institute of Science and Technology (L.N.T.H.), Sweden, a measuring method has been developed to compare the watertightness of different roofing membranes. With the method, three roof structues with diff

Prostaglandin E1 has earlier been shown to decrease pulmonary platelet trapping (PPT) following shock. This experiment was performed to evaluate a new method to study PPT in vivo, and to study the effect of prostaglandin E1 and a new antiplatelet drug (ticlopidine) on PPT in rabbits after i.v. administration of endotoxin. Following platelet labeling with In-111, the rabbits were placed under a sci

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), a thermally responsive polymer, was end-grafted to mercaptopropyl derivatives of silica gel, plane glass sheets and glass capillary tubing by free radical polymerization of the monomer in 1,4-dioxane at 100 degrees C. The polymer monolayer attached to the glass carriers provided them with thermally controlled wettability registered by two independent methods: direct me

The MAKEDEP model is used to reconstruct the time-series input files of deposition, forest growth, uptake and litterfall needed to run the dynamic biogeochemical model SAFE. The amounts and timing of N made available for tree growth is what determines most of the model output. In this paper, the sensitivity Of MAKEDEP to various amounts and timing of N availability, including increased supplies of

Purpose: A scale assessing primary care physicians' priorities for genetic education (The Gen-EP scale) was developed and tested in five European countries. The objective of this study was to determine its factor structure, to test scaling assumptions and to determine internal consistency. Methods: The sample consisted of 3686 practitioners (general practitioners, gyneco-obstetricians, pediatricia

Background/Aims: Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is a liver disease which may lead to liver cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a well-known risk factor for hepatocellular cancer. Lymphoma is a disease, where immune modulating drugs as well as the autoimmune disease itself may contribute to the elevated risk. The aim was to investigate the risks of malignancies in a large cohort of AIH patients. Methods: Four hund

Abstract in UndeterminedOur world is changing and cities and regions are increasingly understood not only asplaces, but also as vital hubs in national and global networks, through which people,capital, goods and services flow to ensure the functioning of society, as we know it. Peopleand capital are increasingly concentrated in these hubs, which aside of positive effects onefficiency also is assoc

Med en befolkning på cirka 30 miljoner människor är kurderna den fjärde största etniska gruppen i Mellanöstern. Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suvWith a population of around 30 million people, the Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Despite this, the Kurds do not have their own independent state which makes them a minority group in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Since the Kurds are scattered over four different states it is of interest to examine how they refer to each other in relation to the idea of having an inde

The aim of our study was to investigate the image the Swedish media present of cannabis and in particular hasch. We gathered all articles published during one month in the year 2002 and in 2012 in three major newspapers in Sweden. The newspapers examined where Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Metro. Through a social constructive perspective and discourse analysis as method we divided the content in

Denna studie sökte svar på huruvida människor tenderar att känna mer empati för personer som tillhör deras politiska ingrupp än de som befinner sig i utgruppen, och därmed om empati är selektivt i förhållande till politiska in- och utgrupper. Empati definieras här som (1) kognitiv empati, (2) affektiv empati, och (3) empatisk oro. Urvalet bestod av personer som identifierar sig som socialdemokrateThis study sought to answer whether people have a higher tendency to feel empathy towards people who are part of their own political ingroup, rather than those who are in the outgroup, meaning, if empathy is selective in relation to political in- and outgroups. Empathy is defined here as (1) cognitive empathy, (2) affective empathy, and (3) empathic concern. The sample consisted of people who symp

Inom svensk arbetsrätt är (SFS 1982:80) lagen om anställningsskydd den centrala lagstiftningen som reglerar anställningsform och hur en uppsägning får ske. Arbetstagaren har turordningsreglerna i 22§ Lag om anställningsskydd som skydd och i det anciennitetsprincipen (senioritetsprincipen), då arbetsgivaren anfört arbetsbrist inom verksamheten som uppsägningsskäl. Turordningsreglerna har varit In Swedish labor law (SFS 1982: 80), the Employment Protection Act is the central legislation that regulates the form of employment and how a termination may take place. The employee has the rules of priority in section 22 of the Employment Protection Act as protection and in the seniority principle, when the employer cites lack of work as a reason for termination. The rules of priority have been
