Popular Abstract in Swedish Rörelseorganens sjukdomar är ett samlingsnamn för sjukdomar i skelett, muskler, leder och senor. Rörelseorganens sjukdomar är tillsammans med psykiska sjukdomar den vanligaste orsaken till sjukskrivning i Sverige. I sjukskrivningssammanhang studeras ofta rörelseorganens sjukdomar som en grupp men i själva verket innehåller gruppen en mängd olika sjukdomar och symptom soOsteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of pain and disability in the musculoskeletal system. Even though the prevalence of OA increases rapidly with age, OA also impacts the working age population. The overall aim of this thesis was to increase the knowledge on sick leave and disability pension in OA and other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Specific aims were to study patients ex

Aims/hypothesis Outcome data on individuals with diabetic foot ulcers are scarce, especially in those with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We therefore examined the clinical characteristics that best predict poor outcome in a large population of diabetic foot ulcer patients and examined whether such predictors differ between patients with and without PAD. Methods Analyses were conducted within

A distinctive feature of BRCA1-linked breast cancers is that they typically do not express estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha). Previous investigation suggests that methylation of CpGs within the ERa promoter mediates repression of gene expression in some ERalpha-negative breast cancers. To determine if methylation of CpGs within the ERalpha promoter is associated with BRCA1-linked breast cancers, w

In the literature enlarged/increased cross-sectional area (CSA) of type I muscle fibres has been reported as a morphological mark of work-related localised myalgia in the descending part of the trapezius muscle of women. These studies did not use enough subjects or lacked an adequate control group. The recording of surface electromyograms (EMG) is central to the research field of work-related myal

Ergosterol was used as a marker of fungal biomass and 3-hydroxy fatty acids were used as markers of bacterial endotoxin to determine microbial colonisation of building materials by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pieces (0.3-0.5 g) of materials from two water-damaged buildings were hydrolysed to liberate the markers from larger microbial structures; the preparations were then purified, deriv

Acoustic driving techniques can produce luminescence in semiconductors quite efficiently. A mixture of grain particles, for example, emits light when driven by sufficiently intense acoustic fields. This effect is therefore particularly interesting for exploring the dynamics of granular solids. By applying this novel technique, further insight is gained when monitoring the driving-induced evolution

Establishing the introduction pathways of alien species is a fundamental task in invasion biology. The common wall lizard, Podarcis muralis, has been widely introduced outside of its native range in both Europe and North America, primarily through escaped pets or deliberate release of animals from captive or wild populations. Here, we use Bayesian clustering, approximate Bayesian computation (ABC)

Muramic acid (Mur) is found in bacterial peptidoglycan ( PG) whereas 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH FAs) are found in Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Thus Mur and 3-OH FAs serve as markers to assess bacterial levels in indoor air. An initial survey, in a school, demonstrated that the levels of dust, PG and LPS (pmol m(-3)) were each much higher in occupied rooms than in the same roo

E-mail som kommunikationsverktyg är en given förutsättning för många av oss idag. På företag, i vardagen och på skolor runt om i Sverige och Europa skickar vi och tar emot e-mail dagligen. Den stora frågan är dock hur vi reagerar på att få information via e-mail och hur vi tolkar andra individers ord. Det skrivna ordet har och kommer alltid vara öppet för tolkning, men forskarna börjar nu peka på

Uppsatsen behandlar Storbritanniens nya lagstiftning vars syfte är att motverka terrorism. Lagstiftningen innebär att specifika offentliga myndigheter kan tvingas att förhindra att människor in dras in i terrorism. Lagstiftningen har fått mycket kritik från den akademiska världen som menar att den kommer att begränsa yttrandefriheten. Frågan som uppsatsen ställer är hur skulle Europadomstolen bedö

This research study aims to study the press releases that had been published by the Saudi Public Investment Fund for the time period, beginning in April 2016 and ending in November 20231. This research intends to understand the potential framing strategies that had been used in the official press releases of the Saudi Public Investment Fund in its communication strategy in the broader context of S

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens ämne är monstrets roll i människans försök att definiera sig själv – hur kroppar som kan benämnas ”monstruösa” fungerar som naturfilosofiska figurer i humanismens strävan att avgränsa det mänskliga från det omänskliga. Studien spänner över perioden från renässansen eller den tidigmoderna eran till postmoderniteten men fokuserar den franska miljön och två gThis dissertation studies the problem of the inhuman in relation to human nature in philosophy from antiquity to the present, highlighting the interrelationship between science and philosophy in the development of concepts of monstrosity in France from mid-sixteenth century to late twentieth century thought. By means of constraint, it focuses on Ambroise Paré (1509/10–90) and Gilles Deleuze (1925–

Multi-proxy analysis was performed on a radiocarbon-dated core, collected from a relic oxbow lake in the Limpopo River-plain, Mozambique, with the aim to reconstruct paleo-environment and past flooding of the lower river system over the past c. 800 years. An additional objective was to evaluate and investigate the potential use of different proxies as recorders of paleo-flooding events and paleo-e

Basal-like breast cancer is an aggressive subtype generally characterized as poor prognosis and lacking the expression of the three most important clinical biomarkers, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2. Cell lines serve as useful model systems to study cancer biology in vitro and in vivo. We performed mutational profiling of six basal-like breast cancer cell lines (HCC38, HCC1143,
