It has been suggested that electromagnetic fields (EMF) act as promoters late in the carcinogenesis process. To date, however, there is no convincing laboratory evidence that EMFs cause tumour promotion at non-thermal exposure levels. Therefore the effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields were investigated in a rat brain glioma model. Some of the exposures correspond to electromagnetic fields

The childhood tumour neuroblastoma is derived from immature cells of the sympathetic nervous system, which have become arrested at different maturation stages. Neuroblastoma is a malignancy with a high degree of heterogeneity, and there is a correlation between a poor differentiation status and a more aggressive phenotype. The MYCN gene is amplified in approximately 25% of neuroblastoma tumours an

Previous studies have suggested that the frequency of chromosomal aberrations (CAs), but not of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs), predicts cancer risk. We have further examined this relationship in European cohorts comprising altogether almost 22,000 subjects, in the framework of a European collaborative project (CancerRiskBiomarkers). The present paper gives an overview of some of the results of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under det senaste decenniet har föräldrars intresse att välja fristående skolor för sina barn ökat markant. Läsåret 1998-99 gick, enligt Skolverket (1999), drygt 30 000 eller 3 % av grundskolans elever i fristående skolor. Det är emellertid en stor variation mellan landets kommuner. Trots den ringa andel som eleverna i fristående skolor utgör, har diskussionen om skolorAbstract Although the number of children attending private schools in Sweden is less than 4% of those attending compulsory schools, the debate of these schools has been intense. Apart from details as fees and funding, the role of education’ in the Swedish welfare system has been subject of much debate. In spite of the debate, in Sweden there is a lack of knowledge about private schools. The aim of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bidragsmissbruk har under lång tid varit föremål för debatt i vårt land. Därvid har bl.a. diskuterats om frekvensen av missbruk är hög och om de rättsvårdande myndigheterna har tillräckliga möjligheter att beivra detta missbruk. Kännetecknande för bidragsmissbruk är att det riktar sig mot det allmänna. Det rör sig om allmänna medel, som tas i anspråk på otillåtna sätt. This thesis treats allowance fraud. Very probably, allowance fraud is frequent and the authorities have difficulty in stopping it. For that reason, it is important to study the area of allowance fraud. The administrative system of sanctions is compared with the penal system of sanctions against different kinds of allowance fraud relating to social welfare, sickness benefit insurance, and housing a

OBJECTIVES: We examined whether the association between hormone therapy (HT) use and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk differed between women with and without vasomotor symptoms (VMS). STUDY DESIGN: We used data from a Dutch (EPOS) and Swedish (WHILA) population-based sample of 8865 women, aged 46-64 years, and free of CHD, stroke, venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism or cancer at baseline. Data o

Complex scientific questions often require collaboration between scientists to access scientific instruments (deS. Price, Res Policy 13:3–20, 1984; Shrum et al. 2007, Structures of scientific collaboration, The MIT Press, 2007), knowledge and social capital from scientists outside of their immediate networks (Burt, Am J Sociol 110:349–399, 2004; Collins, Tacit and explicit knowledge, University of

Capsaicin acts on sensory nerves via vanilloid receptors. TRPV1 has been extensively studied with respect to functional lower urinary tract (LUT) conditions in rodents and humans. We aimed to (1) provide background information on capsaicin and TRPV1 and its mechanisms of action and basis for clinical use, (2) review the use of acute intravesical capsaicin instillation (AICI) in rodents to mimic va

Hydrodynamical simulations predict the inward migration of giant planets during the gas phase of the protoplanetary disc. This phenomenon is also invoked to explain resonant and near-resonant exoplanetary system structures. The early inward migration may also have affected our Solar System and sculpted its different minor planet reservoirs. In this study we explore how the early inward migration o

On-going debates within feminist and social science research are increasingly highlighting the need for reflexive scholarship (particularly within qualitative research) – both in terms of considering the emotionality of the research process (Brownlie 2014, Burkitt 2012, Doucet 2008, Holland 2005, Mauthner and Doucet 2003) and in terms of applying an intersectional lens and discussing researchers’

BACKGROUND: To analyze the potential effect of social inequality on pancreatic cancer risk in Western Europe, by reassessing the association within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) Study, including a larger number of cases and an extended follow-up.METHODS: Data on highest education attained were gathered for 459,170 participants (70% women) from 10 European

The development of catecholaminergic neuronal systems in the brain of a teleost, the three-spined stickleback, was studied through embryonic to early larval stages by immunocytochemistry using specific antibodies against dopamine, tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine β-hydroxylase. By analysing the spatiotemporal patterns of development for the catecholaminergic nuclei, possible homologies with nucle

Med de senaste årens skenande bostadspriser har bostadspolitiken återigen börjat få aktualitet i samhällsdebatten. Vissa argumenterar för att det beror på Sveriges generösa skattesubvention som medför en ökad inkomst för privatpersoner varpå de får ett större finansiellt utrymme att köpa en dyrare bostad. Avdrag för räntekostnader är något som särskilt har uppmärksammats under senare tid och idag With the past years of rampant housing prices, housing policy has once again begun to get topicality in the public debate. Some argue that it is due to Sweden’s generous tax subsidy that bring increased income for individuals, whereupon they get a greater financial space to buy a more expensive residence. Mortgage interest deduction is something that recently has been particularly noted, and today

Climate change consequences are forecasted to severely affect urban life. Already in the past years, extreme events such as heat-waves, cloudbursts, and storm surges have strained cities’ infrastructures and inhabitants. In this thesis, I investigate the impact of extreme weather events on Public Transport (PT) in Hamburg/Germany. As a framework I apply the resilience concept with the four key di

Problem background: The barrier between physical stores and online stores is blurred, which is paving the way for multi- and omni-channel retailing. Consumers of today are having a great access to information, due to their increased use of digital devices. Thus, the power among consumers is increasing, which is creating a thought of whether the consumer, or the retailer, is the party in charge. A
