År 2000 satte den Europeiska Unionen ett strategiskt mål att bli en större, mer konkurrenskraftig ekonomisk region med stark tillväxt för ekonomi och arbetskraft. En viktig komponent i att nå detta mål är att utveckla den inre marknaden och stödja den fria rörligheten för varor, kapital, tjänster och personer inom den Europeiska Unionen. Kommissionen har identifierat skillnader i Medlemsstaternas In 2000, the European Union set out the strategic goal to become a more competitive, stronger economic region with sustainable growth in terms of economy and jobs. An important part in achieving this goal is the complete establishment of the internal market to fully promote freedom of movement of goods, capital, services and people within the European Union. The Commission has identified diversity

Abstract Purpose: This paper is written as a personal evaluation of the entrepreneurial journey starting a new venture based on a new product and concept. Design/methodology/approach: This is a paper designed on to analyze the past experiences of developing a product and searching for a reference customer to start a knowledge based company, using the authors personal experiences with a self-ethnog

The work examines the problem of interrelation between Internet-based art and its medium – the World Wide Web. It elucidates the ways of how net-artists employ and reconsider the basic qualities of the Internet-medium in their virtual projects. All the net-art works are subjected to the terms of the Web-environment, which drastically differs from the context of real exhibition space or traditional

Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to test the applicability of the dashboard development procedure by Vilarinho, Lopes and Sousa (2017) in the application case of a single case study for a redesign of a production dashboard. In doing so a practical new dashboard layout shall be reached, which considers the needs of all dashboard users. Design/methodology/approach – This thesis was co

This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans

The aim of this thesis project was to develop or lay the base for an innovative oat and chickpea based fermented product. From a previous thesis project, Glucanova AB had developed an oat and chickpea base called OatChic®. The goal of this thesis project was to evaluate the effects of fermentation on OatChic® by characterizing prototypes based on the beta-glucan content, phytic acid content, sugar

Immunotherapy utilizes the patient’s own immune system for the treatment of cancer. Due to exceptional antigen-presentation capacity Dendritic Cells (DCs) have great potential for cancer immunotherapy. Using direct cellular reprogramming our group has identified a combination of transcription factors, PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 that reprograms mouse and human fibroblasts and a range of cancer cell line

This is a project about local small scale production, a story about how an artisan designer could take on the IKEAs of the world armed with modern day technology and some old fashioned hard work. This project is at its core a reflection about the future of design general and my role in particular. This contemplative journey does a few stops along the way to discuss the following sentence and wh

OBJECTIVE: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity globally, disproportionately affecting low/middle-income countries (LMICs). Understanding the factors determining implementation success for in-hospital Trauma Quality Improvement Programs (TQIPs) is critical to reducing the global trauma burden. We synthesised topical literature to identify key facilitators and barriers to in-hospita

Aims. We report the discovery of a massive and dense transiting planet CoRoT-27b on a 3.58-day orbit around a 4.2 Gyr-old G2 star. The planet candidate was identified from the CoRoT photometry, and was confirmed as a planet with ground-based spectroscopy. Methods. The confirmation of the planet candidate is based on radial velocity observations combined with imaging to rule out blends. The charact

Randomised controlled trial (RCT) protocols contain essential details needed to understand and evaluate the trial's planned aims, design, data collection methods, monitoring, data analysis, and participants' safety. However, key information is often omitted from paediatric RCT protocols, including details on dose adjustments of interventions based on age, body surface area, or weight; developmenta

Background: Cyclic Cushing's syndrome (cCS) features fluctuating cortisol secretion, often causing diagnostic errors or delays, and possibly poorer outcomes. We aimed to identify unpublished cCS cases to characterise clinical challenges and guide strategies for improving outcomes by characterising cycle patterns, peak frequency, and evaluating complications. Methods: This was a retrospective obser

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate quantitative and qualitative cell and tissue properties of human articular cartilage using phase-contrast synchrotron microtomography to determine what biological information can be obtained in comparison to traditional histopathology.DESIGN: Human knee cartilage from 49 deceased donors without known osteoarthritis (ages 18-85 years, 25 females and 24 males) and 4 patients u

Increasing aridity is one major consequence of ongoing global climate change and is expected to cause widespread changes in key ecosystem attributes, functions, and dynamics. This is especially the case in naturally vulnerable ecosystems, such as drylands. While we have an overall understanding of past aridity trends, the linkage between temporal dynamics in aridity and dryland ecosystem responses

Under de senaste åren har det skett en förskjutning i forskningen från att försöka förstå vem som löper risk att bli radikaliserad, till att undersöka vad som gör att vissa individer har större benägenhet att bli radikaliserad. Känslor av exkludering, diskriminering och marginalisering har tidigare kopplats till extremistiska handlingar. Trots det finns det få empiriska studier som utforskar samba

OBJECTIVES: To study long-term patient-relevant outcomes after meniscectomy, a surgical procedure associated with a high risk of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Principal objectives were to compare traumatic with degenerative meniscal tear and partial with subtotal meniscectomy.METHODS: We studied a well-defined cohort of 205 patients who had undergone isolated unilateral meniscectomy between 1983 and 1

The tubular cells of the adult kidney are normally mitotically quiescent, in stark contrast to the massive regenerative capacity of the injured renal epithelium. In Paper I we characterized a new cell population of progenitor cells using ALDH as a selection marker. These cells are situated in the proximal tubular epithelium and are called proximal tubular progenitor cells (PTPCs). Gene expression

Background: The primary aim of this paper is to describe the design of a project evaluating the effects of using a research-based strategy for managing housing adaptations (HAs). The evaluation targets clients' perspectives in terms of activity, participation, usability, fear of falling, fall incidence, use of mobility devices, and health-related quality of life, and determines the societal effect

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stamceller är unika celler som har möjlighet att både förnya sig själva och ge upphov till en mängd mogna celler. Den ultimata stamcellen är det befruktade ägget, som är den cell som efter omfattande celldelning kommer att ge upphov till alla vävnader och celler i den färdigutvecklade kroppen. Dessa celler kallas därför pluripotenta. Även i den färdigutvecklade kroppen
