Introduction: Ethiopia has one of the largest number of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV). As these adolescents reach adulthood they need to transfer from pediatric to adult-oriented clinics. Clear implementation guidelines for transition are lacking and factors associated with successful transition are inadequately investigated.

Africa is largely influenced by fires, which play an important ecological role influencing the distribution and structure of grassland, savanna and forest biomes. Here vegetation strongly interacts with climate and other environmental factors, such as herbivory and humans. Fire-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) display high uncertainty in predicting the distribution of current tropi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut pankreatit (bukspottkörtelinflammation) drabbar årligen cirka 300 individer per miljon invånare i Sverige. Dödligheten ligger totalt på cirka 4-7 % och betydligt högre, cirka 20 %, vid svår nekrotiserande pankreatit. Mortaliteten är vanligen associerad med multipel organsvikt och korrelerad till storleken på det inflammatoriska svaret. Underliggande mekanismer för Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and the remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The aim of the present study was to further characterize the dynamics and sequence of the immune response in AP, and to determine the cellular origin of the initiating ev

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förändring av kroppsprotein hos cancerpatienter under behandling Bakgrund Det är välkänt att patienter med cancer ofta drabbas av nedsatt aptit, viktminskning, orkeslöshet och ämnesomsättningsrubbningar under sin sjukdom. Denna samlade symptombild kallas kakexi. Detta tillstånd minskar toleransen för olika behandlingar, som cytostatika- och strålbehandling, försämrar The purpose of this study was to investigate how total body protein and its fraction of body weight (body protein fraction) change in cancer patients during different anti-tumor treatments, and to see if these changes have any clinical significance in the form of prognostic value or correlation with disease course and tumor response. In 84 patients, 28 with lung cancer, 24 with gastrointestinal t

Arsenic enrichment of groundwater in the Red River (Song Hong) delta in Vietnam was discovered in 1998. Several studies performed in this area found concentrations of As exceeding the WHO-guideline of 10 lg/L. This study focuses on an area south of Hanoi city, Nam Du, where a new well field came into operation in 2004. The new well field is situated on the bank along the Red River in order to faci

Policy-makers in the European Union (EU) have increasingly emphasised public procurement as an instrument that can be used to stimulate innovation. These developments reflect and respond to a growing concern among EU member states and regions about how to maintain competitive advantage in an economic environment increasingly subject to global competition The Lisbon goals set for the EU in 2000 req

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stamceller är unika celler som har möjlighet att både förnya sig själva och ge upphov till en mängd mogna celler. Den ultimata stamcellen är det befruktade ägget, som är den cell som efter omfattande celldelning kommer att ge upphov till alla vävnader och celler i den färdigutvecklade kroppen. Dessa celler kallas därför pluripotenta. Även i den färdigutvecklade kroppen Hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation that originates with the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC), a cell type that is responsible for the life-long supply of mature blood cells. HSCs are defined by their ability to self-renew as well as giving rise to differentiated cells of all blood lineages. Because of these features, HSCs are also the basis for bone marrow transplantation regimens for tr

Vid avtalsförhandlingar mellan privata näringsidkare kan det vara nödvändigt att utlämna hemlig information för att avtal ska kunna komma till stånd. Information och kunskap utgör ofta centrala tillgångar i ett företag och möjligheten att skydda sådana tillgångar i avtalsförhållanden kan vara av avgörande betydelse vid affärsuppgörelser. I detta avseende spelar sekretessavtal en viktig roll inom nIn contract negotiations between commercial parties, it may be necessary to disclose confidential information to establish a contractual relationship. Information and knowledge are often key assets of a business, and the ability to protect these assets may be crucial for the contracting parties. In this respect, confidentiality agreements play an important role in commercial relationships. In the

Objectives Evidence suggests that certain occupations and related exposures may increase the risk of malignant lymphoma. Farming, printing and paper industry, wood processing, meat handling and processing, welding, shoe and leather manufacturing and teaching profession are among the categories that have been implicated in previous studies. The relationship between occupation and malignant lymphoma

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mitralisklaffen (lat. valva mitralis; valva bicuspidalis) är den klaff i hjärtat som finns mellan vänster förmak och vänster kammare. Till utseendet liknar klaffen påvens huvudbonad, mitra, varifrån namnet härstämmar. Mitralisklaffen består av två segelliknande flikar (klaffblad) med en upphängningsapparat som fäster sig i vänster-kammarens vägg. När vänster kammare konNormalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. The general aim of this thesis was to bring research on treatment of degenerative mitral regurgitation a step further in order to improve clinical

Popular summary Deforestation has been recognized globally as the second largest source of Human-induced release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Carbon stored in trees is important in the global carbon cycle and affects the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The process of deforestation takes place when man clears forested land. The amount of carbon stored in forested areas is larg

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sepsis, blodförgiftning, är ett potentiellt allvarlgt och komplicerat kliniskt syndrom samt är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till döden på intensivvårdsavdelningar. Cirka 200 per 100,000 invånare i Sverige drabbas årligen av svår sepsis. Sepsis är systemisk inflammatorisk reaktion mot mikrobiell invadering. Svår sepsis är den sepsis som associerad med en eller flera orgSepsis and subsequent organ failure remain the major cause of mortality in intensive care units in spite of significant research efforts. The lung is the most vulnerable organ affected by early hyper-inflammatory immune response in septic patients. On the other hand, the septic insult induces immune dysfunction in later phases of sepsis which in turn increases susceptibility to infections. The aim

In this master´s thesis I seek to explore the concept of restorative justice, an ideological approach to justice which aims to repair the harm caused by crime through means of communication, cooperation, participation and restoration. By involving all parties affected by crime, restorative justice seeks to address crime through empowering victims, increasing community cohesion and making offenders

Mycket forskarmöda har ägnats åt den stora reduktionen i början av 1680-talet, då den svenska adelns förläningar drogs in till kronan och maktbalansen skiftade till den enväldige kungens fördel. Denna forskning har framför allt behandlat den politiska och ekonomiska utvecklingen, ofta ur ett elitperspektiv. Andra gruppers agerande och levda verklighet har sällan blivit belysta, vilket inte minst gA large body of scholarly work has been dedicated to the Swedish reduction in the early 1680s when fiefs granted to the nobility were revoked as the crown strengthened its position. However, this research has focused on political and economic developments from an elite perspective. Insufficient attention has been paid to the actions and lived realities of other groups, not least the servants of th
