Background Alpha-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) deficiency is the only recognised genetic risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Since A1AT is the major inhibitor of neutrophil elastase (NE), this enzyme has become widely implicated in the pathogenesis of COPD in general; however, there is currently no specific biomarker for its pr
Malaria is a public health problem which affects developing countries world-wide. Inadequate skilled lab technicians in remote areas of developing countries result in untimely diagnosis of malaria parasites making it hard for effective control of the disease in highly endemic areas. The development of remote systems that can provide fast, accurate and timely diagnosis is thus a necessary innovatio
A transition to a more sustainable energy system is called for, and to realise such a transition governments around the world have introduced various research programmes and policy instruments. In this paper, we elaborate on how the transition of the energy system could be reinforced through evaluation of research programmes and policy instruments, focusing on energy efficiency in buildings. We ar
Objectives: Meshes/matrices are commonly used in immediate breast reconstruction. There are few studies comparing biological and synthetic meshes and it is unknown what type of mesh gives the best long-term results. The aim of this study was to compare long-term health-related quality of life (HrQoL) and patient satisfaction in implant-base

Background: Repetitive head injury in contact sports is associated with cognitive, neurobehavioral, and motor impairments and linked to a unique neurodegenerative disorder: chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). As the clinical presentation is variable, risk factors are heterogeneous, and diagnostic biomarkers are not yet established, the diagnostic process of CTE remains a challenge. The general
This thesis examines the evolution of income inequality in Germany from 1991-2010, by analyzing the literature on labour market theories. It is assumed that human capital, labour market segmentation and globalization are the main long-term determinants of income inequality. Most importantly, skill-biased technological change (SBTC) has increased the dispersion of incomes to the detriment of people
The purpose of this paper is to determine to what degree there are textual and conceptual similarities between the British National Party’s (BNP) and UK Independence Party’s (UKIP) construction of in-groups and out-groups. The focus is on the two discursive strategies nomination (attribution of word form) and predication (attribution of quality). For the present study I adopt the Discourse-Histori

Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat
In the light of the 2008 financial crises, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania experienced the greatest output declines in the world. In 2012 however the output gap has almost been reduced, competitiveness is regained and the budget balance deficit is kept within the requirements of the EU Maastricht criteria. These achievements were reached by conducting the controversial fiscal stance of austerity, im
I takt med att klimatet förändras ser vi allt oftare naturkatastrofer äga rum, och Sverige är inte undantaget från denna utveckling.
