Data on allergic conditions as risk or protective factors for cancer are controversial probably because most studies have used self-reported data on mixed groups of allergies in a case-control setting. We define cancer risks in medically diagnosed hay fever/allergic rhinitis patients in a nationwide cohort study. A total of 138,723 hay fever/allergic rhinitis patients were identified from three Sw

We aimed at assessing familial risk of melanoma by considering a detailed family history of multiple primary (invasive/in situ) melanomas (MPM), stratified by histology and location.

A strongly coupled dipolar fluid confined in a sphere has been examined by Monte Carlo simulations using a modified distance-dependent pair interaction to emulate retardation effects. The effective dipole-dipole interaction and a property closely related to Kirkwood's g-factor have been analyzed for potentials with different distances at which the retardation effects became effective. The retardat

Background: The incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in early life has increased in recent decades, but the relevant risk factors remain largely unknown. We examined perinatal and family risk factors for NHL in childhood through young adulthood. Methods: We conducted a national cohort study of 3 571 574 individuals born in Sweden in 1973-2008 who were followed for incidence of NHL through 2009

The Swedish government has presented a welfare reform, set to be implemented in 2026-2027. The reform includes an activation requirement with a clearly defined target group and a dual set of obligations imposed on both municipalities and individuals. This intends to address the long-term “welfare dependency” that recipients of welfare benefits are perceived to be trapped in. We situate this policy

The environmental movement is a fixture of the political landscape, but our empirical understanding of its ideology is still lacking. In this thesis I examine ideological divides in the environmental movement. This is done through categorising ten areas where earlier discussions on green theory have argued that the movement is divided. To test these ten divides a survey has been created and spread

Narratives about Europe are stories of shared European past, present and future, that provide meaning to the existence of the European Union and to the policy it pursues. In this thesis, narratives about Europe are analysed in nine State of the Union speeches, given by Commission presidents from 2010 to 2020, and situated in the theoretical framework of discursive institutionalism. A combination o

This thesis aims to bring a greater understanding of the normalization of right-wing populism by analysing the immigration discourse of Donald Trump and the way he speaks about building the Wall against Mexico. In this study, three different transcripts of his speeches are analysed with a critical discourse theory and the right- wing theoretical framework of Ruth Wodak. These methodological and th

The issue of riba, or interest, is crucial for both Islamic and non-Islamic countries. Western economic systems use the interest rate to efficiently distribute financial resources for investment and/or consumption. In the entire economic system outside the Islamic countries, interest rates are practically a prerequisite, for the functioning of the economic system. Islamic economies, on the contrar

Intensity ratio-based phosphor thermometry is a promising technique for instantaneous temperature measurement of fast-moving objects. However, its accuracy is limited by the blueshift effects of interference filters induced by angle of incidence (AOI) variations. This is especially problematic for phosphors with significant temperature-dependent emission band shifts. To address this issue, we prop

Glutathione is a major component of the cellular antioxidant system, providing a means of controlling redox homeostasis and affording protection against oxidative damage. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers insights into brain metabolism by enabling the noninvasive quantification of metabolites. Previous studies have demonstrated that the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA detect

Sammanfattning Titel: Tillväxt i start-up företag - en kvantitativ studie på forskningsbyn Ideon Författare: Pontus Ek, Martin Larsson och Tobias Sjövall Handledare: Hans Landström Nivå: Magisteruppsats Nyckelord: Start-up, tillväxt, resurser, motivation, kvantitativ studie Problemformulering: Finns det ett samband mellan initiala resurser, entreprenörens motivation till tillväxt och framtida till

”Fan fiction writing”, or the writing of stories based upon a popular entertainment franchise, has become a topic of academic discussion. Fan fiction writers have waked the ire of movie producers, since they often write fiction that is in direct contradiction to the movie’s plot or spirit. While most academic studies on fan fiction have concentrated on his confrontational aspect of the writers’ ps

Följande faktorer är avgörande för Rambölls innovationssträvanden: Branschlogik. Ramböll verkar i en bransch där aktörerna försöker positionera sig med kvalité, men där priset är den främsta konkurrensfaktorn på en homogen marknad. Strategi. Ramböll försöker framstå som innovativt men detta når inte ner till medarbetarna, som i första hand styrs av effektivitetskrav. Vinst- och effektivitetskrav p

Vårt syfte är att förklara och beskriva vad olika intressenter anser om IAS, med fokusering på värdering till verkligt värde. Vi har använt en deduktiv ansats och för att få en bredd på undersökningen valdes en kvantitativ metod. Med utgångspunkt i ett antal teorier sammanställdes en enkät vilken skickades ut till utvalda intressenter. Med hjälp av denna data har vi försökt få ett grepp om vad oli

Dagens reklam visar ofta unga människor. Man ser personer som är smala, aktiva, har attityd och hela livet framför sig. Samtidigt håller det på att ske en förändring i Sveriges befolkningsstruktur. Vi får allt fler äldre personer och det är framförallt gruppen som som är födda under 40-talet som kan vara intressant för flera företag att vända sig till. Detta beror på att de är många, har mycket ti

Syfte: Uppsatsen avser undersöka om anmälningsplikten har haft den betydelse för externa intressenter som dess ursprungstanke var samt att utreda vilka eventuella konsekvenser ett avskaffande kan komma att leda till, framförallt för externa intressenter. Uppsatsen har också behandlat anmälningspliktens funktion i praktiken de år den varit verksam. Metod: I uppsatsen användes kvalitativ metod med b
