Popular Abstract in Swedish I debatterna om sociala och ekonomiska frågor under 1800-talets första hälft utvecklades grundvalarna för de förhållningssätt till arbetslöshetsfrågan som sedan återkommit i skilda former. Det gällde t.ex. det perspektiv som betonade politikens roll och behovet av statlig intervention för att stimulera produktion och sysselsättning. Det gällde också det renodlade markna
Objectives: To test the utility of the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society (ISN/RPS) criteria for lupus nephritis (LN) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the American College of Rheumatology renal response criteria (ACR-RRC) for renal follow-up in an observational cohort. Method: All 52 biopsy-verified cases of LN during 19 years w
With the aid of time-resolved dynamic light scattering (DLS) and static light scattering (SLS), we have analyzed the ejection kinetics from the bacterial virus bacteriophage (or phage) lambda, triggered in vitro by its receptor. We have used DLS to investigate the kinetics in such a system. Furthermore, we have shown that both SLS and DLS can be interchangeably used to study the process of phage D
The organisational network of global environmental governance (GEG) mirrors the complexity of the planet's manifold and overlapping ecosystems. Bursting onto the international stage in the 1970s, environmental issues began to be addressed by a series of new international organisations, most of them affiliated with the United Nations. Some of them, such as the United Nations Environment Programme (
This thesis is about how and why employees spend large proportions of their working hours on empty labor, i.e. private activities on the job. It is written against the backdrop of a highly debated subject within critical theory, namely the possibility of individuals resisting taken-for-granted power asymmetries. Critical theorists' stress on ideological power and the internalization of submission
Background: Breast edema is reported as a common complaint after breast conserving surgery and radiotherapy (RT). Measurements of local water in skin and upper subeutis with tissue dielectric constant (TDC) technique have the potential to detect breast edema in patients after breast cancer treatment. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine development of edema in breast, axilla
The present study is composed of a series of six independent yet related articles treating various aspects of international trade and economic growth. In Chapter two the effects of European Integration (EI) on long-run economic growth is studied. Contrary to earlier empirical results long-run effects of EI are identified. As a development Chapter three examines two potential channels linking EI to
Wide bandwidth time-of-flight spectrometer (TOFS) developed in the Group of Biophotonics,Lund University, is a unique tool which is capable to deliver continues absorption/scattering spectra of turbid samples in a singularly broad wavelength range from 600nm up to 1400nm. The main focus of this thesis work is to calibrate and optimize the performance of the instrumental setup of this system for bi
Uppsatsen undersöker hur rättsfiguren ”urminnes hävd”, som enligt 1 § rennäringslag (1971:437) utgör grunden för samernas renskötselrätt, har hanterats i fem statliga utredningar om renskötande samers markrättigheter under perioden 1886 – 2006. Utredningarna betraktas som fem historiskt präglade uppfattningar om samers rätt, men inte som representationer av samtliga diskussioner som under tidsperiThis bachelor’s thesis investigates five government inquiries regarding property rights for reindeer husbandry during the period 1883 to 2006. It looks at how the legal entity “urminnes hävd” (prescription from time), which according to 1 § Reindeer Husbandry Act (1971:437) constitutes the legal basis for the Saami peoples’ husbandry rights, has been applied during the period. The aim is to resear
Vid en skilsmässa är det ofta osäkert och oklart hur parterna ska göra med boende fram till dess bodelning sker. I många fall flyttar ena maken från den gemensamma bostaden och den andra bor kvar. Maken som flyttar har vanligtvis kostnader för det nya boendet samtidigt som denne måste fortsätta betala de löpande kostnaderna för det gamla, gemensamma boendet. Frågan som uppkommer är då om den kvarbAt a divorce there is often a level of uncertainty to how the parties are going to structure their living situation until the estate division. Most commonly, one spouse moves from the shared accommodation while the other one stays. The moving spouse usually has costs for the new accommodation and is also often required to pay for the old, common place. The upcoming question is if the staying spous
Delivery of goods at the port of discharge is an obligation incurred upon the carrier under a contract of carriage by sea. The extent of the carrier’s obligation is to give the consignee a reasonable time to take proper delivery of the goods against presentation of an original B/L. Delivery of goods is currently not regulated in any international laws on carriage of goods by sea, it is only regula
To satisfy the increased demand for transportation in Sweden the new high-speed railroad line is expected to be finished in 2035. The railroad is expected to connect the three major cities Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg with a top speed of 350 km/h. In this report the cost of on-board personnel and energy is investigated on the Lund – Stockholm stretch for speeds up to 420 km/h. The cost of perso
Skatterättsliga klassificeringen av fastigheter påverkar inkomstslag, avdragsrätt, kapitalvinstbeskattning, beskattningstidpunkt, skattereserveringar, sociala avgifter och förmåner. Klassificeringen kan påverka skattesatsen avsevärt. En fastighet klassificeras i regel som antingen privatbostadsfastighet eller näringsfastighet. Reglerna återfinnes i IL 2 kap. med en del hänvisningar till FTL. BedöThe Swedish taxation legal classification of properties affects type of incomes, deduction right, capital gains taxation, time of taxation, tax reservations and employee benefits. The classification can significantly affect the rate of taxation. A property is as a rule classified as either private residential or business property. The regulation is found in the IL Chapter 2. and in FTL. The asses
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is currently the standard of care for many malignant and nonmalignant blood diseases. As several treatment-emerging acute toxicities are expected, optimal supportive measurements critically affect HSCT outcomes. The paucity of good clinical studies in supportive practices gives rise to the establishment of heterogeneous guidelines across the different
Background The World Health Organisation (WHO) 2013 diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been criticised due to the limited evidence of benefits on pregnancy outcomes in different populations when switching from previously higher glycemic thresholds to the lower WHO-2013 diagnostic criteria. The aim of this study was to determine whether the switch from previous Swedish
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) for early breast cancer can make breast-conserving surgery more feasible and might be more likely to eradicate micrometastatic disease than might the same chemotherapy given after surgery. We investigated the long-term benefits and risks of NACT and the influence of tumour characteristics on outcome with a collaborative meta-analysis of individual patien
This thesis deals with the development and application of new estimation methods of heterogenous panel data models. In Paper I, a new estimator for heterogeneous panel data models with random interactive effects is proposed. The heterogeneity in this paper is viewed as heterogeneity over time, which is modeled by having the slope coefficients exhibit multiple structural breaks. The suggested estim
Background: Previous studies demonstrated increases in diagnostic confidence and change in patient management after amyloid-PET. However, studies investigating longitudinal outcomes over an extended period of time are limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes up to 9 years after amyloid-PET to support the clinical validity of the imaging technique. Methods: We analyzed longitud
