Introduction: Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is present in 5% of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in plasma. It is a carrier of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), which is important for vascular barrier protection. The aim was to determine the plasma concentrations of apoM during sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and correlate them to levels of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA1), apol

OBJECTIVE: Lower limb lymphedema (LLL) is a chronic condition. To be able to evaluate changes of LLL over time and effects of interventions reliable measurement methods are important. Currently, there is limited knowledge of the reliability of commonly used measurement methods in LLL. The study objective was to evaluate the test-retest (intrarater) reliability of impedance of extracellular fluid,

Reducing microorganisms by UV light is has been commonly used for drinking water for many years. In other liquid products like apple juice it is a rather novel application. The advantages would be that quality parameters like aromas and vitamins are less affected by the UV treatment compared to a heat treatment. Furthermore it would probably be cheaper, as the lamps need less electrical energy tha

Relapsed or recurrent breast cancer is the chief cause of breast cancer related deaths and it is estimated that one-third of breast cancer patients would likely suffer a relapse. Due to high mortality and incidence, recurrent breast cancer requires better means of prediction, prevention and treatment. The AFFIRM platform uses recombinant antibody technology and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) m

3D-modell av höftbenet kan hjälpa till att förutspå artros Det är viktigt att förebygga sjukdomar innan de bryter ut. Vanliga 2D-röntgenbilder är inte alltid tillräckligt noggranna men med 3D-modeller kan tidiga tecken på artros lättare identifieras. Vi strävar för att få fram 3D-bilder av höften från vanliga röntgenbilder.Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two medical conditions involving the hip which affect the life quality of many people worldwide. These two diseases are diagnosed with 2D imaging by analysis of radiological measures, bone mineral density and joint space. Computed Tomography (CT) can provide 3D images of the hip, but has higher cost and imposes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Another op

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Utvärdering av borrhålsloggar. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att göra en utvärdering av wireline borrhålsloggar från borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km öster om Staffanstorp i Skåne. Den undersökta delen av borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4 befinner sig inom den potentiella reservoarsandstenen, Lundasandstenen. Wireline borrhålsloggar är geofysiska verktyg som används This study is an evaluation of formation characteristics, as derived from wire-line well logs, of the Lund Member in the borehole Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km east of Staffanstorp, Skåne, Sweden, through the comparison to measured core data. The purpose is to assess the feasibility of using some of the porosity and permeability equations and cross-plots derived for the investigated section and applying th

I syfte att undvika dubbelbeskattning och på så sätt skapa goda för-utsättningar för tillväxt på den globala marknaden, väljer många stater att ingå skatteavtal. En baksida med skatteavtalen är att de i vissa situationer resulterar i dubbel icke-beskattning. Vissa inkomster beskattas med andra ord inte alls, tack vare skatteavtalet. I syfte att förhindra dessa situationer, väljer många stater att In order to avoid double taxation and thus create good conditions for the growth on the global market, many states choose to conclude tax treaties. However, the downside of tax treaties is that they in certain cases results in double non-taxation. Some income is in other words not taxed at all, due to the tax treaty. To prevent these situations, many states legislate against tax evasion and tax av

To attain an Internal Market, in which goods, capital and natural and legal persons can move from Member States to Member State, is one of the main aims of the EU. The Treaty of Rome was laid down in order to tear down obstacles that existed and to create bonds between the Member States. The EC Treaty contained the fundamental freedoms, essential in the work to­wards an Internal Market. In order t

Nowadays, many evacuation models exist in the market, and new models are continuously released with new features. How to assess the usability and reliability of model results becomes an issue for both developers and users. Therefore, verification and validation (V&V) protocols were introduced in the assessment process of evacuation models. To conduct V&V of a model, a widely accepted test

Connecting science to political agenda-setting is essential for a sustainable transition and acceptable politics. This task is complicated by phenomena like post-truth, for which facts are a non-issue. However, post-truth is not the only issue. The practice of political spin, in which the significance of facts is reconstructed according to specific interests poses another threat to scientific cred

In the construction of high-speed railways, an important starting point is to make as little Intrusion on land as possible, therefore it is of high importance to carefully investigate which construction alternatives are the most advantageous. The purpose of this work is to compare and evaluate land use and building on viaduct. The work will be based on literature and interview studies. Sections of

Previous studies clarified that the electron enriched NADH and NADPH by RBC glycolysis could be used in an extracellular chemical reaction, where electron energies are extracted by an electron mediator methylene blue (MB). The reduced form of MB permeates the phospholipid bilayer of liposomes and reduce encapsulated ferric methemoglobin (metHb) to ferrous hemoglobin. Moreover, in vitro screening s

Background: Vitamin A supplementation (VAS) at birth has been associated with decreased mortality in Asia. Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine is given at birth in tuberculosis-endemic countries. Previous studies suggest that VAS may influence the immune response to vaccines. Objective: Our objective was to examine whether VAS influences the immune response to simultaneously administered BCG vac
