PURPOSE: Perceived Threat of the Risk of Graft Rejection (PTRGR) is prominent in organ transplant recipients' lives. When asked about what they fear most, the commonest response is graft rejection. A reasonable assumption is that this perceived threat is also relevant for heart recipients and involves various psychological reactions, such as efforts to cope with the perceived threat. There are no
This paper is about interdisciplinary common initiatives to enhance and encourage quality of engineering education nationwide, by means of a scientific approach to teaching. To reach innovative pedagogical approaches it is seen as important to stimulate collaboration and knowledge sharing across discipline borders. STEM, referring to the academic disciplines of science, technology, engineering, an
Renewable energy sources (RES), such as biomass, can be used to address two important issues in Europe: climate change and energy security. If biomass is produced sustainably and used efficiently, bioenergy contributes very little to CO2 emissions. The overall objective of the work presented in this thesis is to provide a scientific basis describing how bioenergy can play a fundamental role in the
Mucosal surfaces of the reproductive tract as well as their secretions have important roles in preventing sexual transmission of HIV-1. In the current study, the majority of the intrinsic anti-HIV-1 activity of human seminal plasma (SP) was determined to reside in the cationic polypeptide fraction. Antiviral assays utilizing luciferase reporter cells and lymphocytic cells revealed the ability of w

Despite a common colonial past under the British empire, Singapore and Malaysia have experienced vastly different development paths since independence. While Singapore has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world today, Malaysia’s economy remains a mere third of that of Singapore’s. Despite the economic disparity between the two countries, the newly available data on well-being, as prese

I Sverige får, som huvudregel, i princip all egendom som gäldenären innehar utmätas om gäldenären underlåter att betala sina skulder. Reglerna för utmätning av bostäder skiljer sig åt beroende på bostadsform och uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra dessa skillnader. Bostadsrätter omfattas som utgångspunkt av utmätningsfrihet enligt beneficiereglerna och kan därför undantas från utmätning, med hänvisAll property which the debtor owns can, as a main principle according to Swedish law, be seized if the debtor fails to pay the debts. The regulatory framework for seizing property used as the debtor’s residence varies depending on the form of the property. This thesis aims to clarify these differences. As an ulterior motive for social protection of housing, co-operative apartments are, as a main p
Fastighetsbolag på den svenska aktiemarknaden har under en lång tid varit mycket lönsamma och en god investering för aktieinvesterare. Syftet med denna undersökning är att avgöra och definiera vilka strategier svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag använder sig av, samt hur dessa val av strategier påverkar ett fastighetsbolags värdeutveckling på börsen. Ytterligare skall undersökningen ta reda på huProperty management companies on the Swedish stock market have long been very profitable and represented a good investment for shareholders. The purpose of this study is to determine and define the property-related strategies of listed Swedish property management companies – and how the choice of strategies affects the company's performance on the stock market. Furthermore, the analysis aims t
The Global Compact on Refugees, which is to be adopted in the autumn of 2018, represents an aspiration on the part of the international community towards strengthened solidarity with refugees and affected host countries and is the most ambitious instrument of its kind to date. Indeed, the creation of the Refugee Compact is timely, although perhaps also somewhat surprising in an era of rising popul
This thesis investigates whether the share of female legislative representation on a national level has an impact on public expenditure on social issues such as health care, education and elderly care. Using panel data primarily from the Comparative Welfare States dataset I perform a within-country analysis over time using both OLS and IV estimations. I use two instruments, laws on gender quota an
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure encryption key generation process to be used by two users in the presence of an eavesdropper. The no-cloning theorem allows the sender "Alice" to securely send qubits with single photons to the receiver "Bob". However, due to real-life imperfections, it is not always possible to have a single-photon source with its properties matching
Bakgrund: För att skelettmuskulaturen ska kunna kontraheras krävs energirika fosfatbindningar som heter adenosintrifosfat (ATP). För att tillgodose muskulaturens behov av energi finns 3 olika system, där det största, som producerar majoriteten av all ATP under vila och längre ansträngningar (>1 minut) är det aeroba systemet. I avsaknad av syre eller när de aeroba processerna inte hinner ta vara p
Bakgrund Handboll innehåller mycket kroppskontakt och riktningsförändringar i hög hastighet och med stora krafter. Baserat på sportens utformning är axelskador vanligt förekommande, både i form av akuta skador till följd av att spelare blir dragna i armen eller landar på armen, och överbelastningsskador från upprepade skott och passningar. Syftet med studien var att kartlägga och jämföra förekomst
Försäljning av alkohol har varit reglerat under mycket lång tid i Sverige. Den nuvarande regleringen kan spåra sina rötter till 1800- talets mitt och även om reglering förändrats över tiden så är försäljning av alkohol fortfarande starkt reglerad. Alkoholagens syfte är att begränsa alkoholens skadeverkningar. En konsekvens av alkoholagens syfte är att det ställs hög krav på den som vill bedriva seThe sale of alcohol has been regulated for a very long time in Sweden and the origin of the current regulations can be traced to the middle of 1900 century. The nature of these regulations have changed a great deal overtime but the sale of alcohol remains heavily regulated. The main purpose of the Swedish alcohol law “alkohollagen” is to limit the damages caused by alcohol use and as a consequence
Bakgrund: Kritisk sjukdom kan definieras som ett tillstånd av svikt i vitala parametrar, vilket ökar risken för oplanerad inläggning på intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA), intrahospitalt hjärtstopp samt död. På vårdavdelning används idag ett standardiserat bedömningsverktyg, National Early Warning Score (NEWS), för att bedöma vitala parametrar. Vid höga NEWS-poäng bör en mobil intensivvårdsgrupp (MIG) k

European integration has increasingly come to depend on the abolition of national regulations, driven by the Court of Justice of the European Union (ECJ). According to previous research, this mode of integration effectively undermines the institutional foundations of social democratic welfare states and coordinated systems of industrial relations – something which has not been fully appreciated by
