AimDespite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable. Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) is a well-characterized cell surface protein involved in prostate cancer pathogenesis, differentially expressed during transition from hormone-sensitive to CRPC. This study aimed to investigate ICAM-1 as a target for imaging and radioimmunotherapy of CRPC.MethodsAntiDespite new therapies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still incurable.

Automatic construction of Shape Models from examples has been the focus of intense research during the last couple of years. These methods have proved to be useful for shape segmentation, tracking and shape understanding. In this paper novel theory to automate shape modelling is described. The theory is intrinsically defined for curves although curves are infinite dimensional objects. The theory i

The autodetachment of 1s2s2p 4p0 in He- and nsnp 2 4P(e) in Be- (n = 2), Mg- (n = 3), and Ca- (n = 4) is calculated using an extension to continum processes of the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock method. The main interest is to investigate the processes giving rise to long-lived, metastable states in negative ions. In He- and Be- our results agree with earlier experimental and theoretical ones, an

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den andra vågens kvinnorörelse uppstod i Sverige med Grupp 8 1968 under en växande antikrigsrörelse mot USA:s krig i Vietnam. En ny generation kvinnor gick ut på gatorna och krävde fri abort, gratis daghem, organiserade kampanjer mot kvinnors låga löner och sexuell exploatering. Med denna avhandling försöker jag för det första visa vad som karakteriserar den nya kvinnorThe second-wave women's movement emerged in Sweden with Group 8 in 1968, at the height of the anti-war struggle against the US war in Vietnam. A new generation of women took to the streets to demand free abortion, and free childcare, and to campaign against women's low pay and sexual exploitation. This thesis focuses on a number of women's groups? collective action and organising during a politica

Abstract in Spanish Inger Enkvist, catedrática de español de la Universidad de Lund, Suecia, trabajó durante tres años en un proyecto de investigación junto con Ángel Sahuquillo, de la Universidad de Sodertorn, también en Suecia, en un proyecto titulado ”Identidad e ideología en la literatura hispánica: un estudio basado en la obra de Juan Goytisolo”. El presente artículo demuestra que el resultad

We propose a new algorithm for feedback nonlinear synthesis. The algorithm computes suboptimal solutions, with bounds on suboptimality, to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. For systems that are modeled with polynomials the computations can be done efficiently via semidefinite programming. To illustrate the strength of the proposed method, we computesmooth stabilizing feedback controllers for s

Även om vi skulle lyckas minska de globala utsläppen av växthusgaser, så finns det ett angeläget behov att anpassa samhället för att kunna motstå klimatförändringens skadliga effekter. Denna process kallas klimatanpassning. Städer står inför särskilda risker från klimatförändringen och nuvarande tillvägagångssätt, som ofta förlitar sig på tekniska lösningar och toppstyrd implementering, bedöms intEven if current attempts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions would succeed, society-wide adjustment to the harmful effects of climate change is urgently needed. This process is known as climate adaptation. Cities face particular risks from climate change, and there is increasing evidence that traditional approaches, which have often relied on technical solutions and top-down management struc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgår från förhållandet att mödradödligheten traditionellt varit en tungt vägande faktor för kvinnors totala sjukdomsbörda i låginkomstländer. Mödradödligheten är starkt knuten till såväl allmänna levnadsförhållanden i samhället som till tillgång och kvalitet av professionell hälsovård. Det är därför inte förvånande att mer än 99 av 100 mödradödsfall i värlMaternal health services are the least equitable health care services in most low- and middle-income countries. Improving maternal health in Ghana continues to be a major public health challenge. Socio-economic inequalities within the country are greatly reducing the use of maternal health care services despite government policy reforms to improve access to maternal health care services and interv

I februari 2006 antogs en ny "superkonvention” vid den internationella arbetskonferensen för sjöfart som ett svar på utvecklingen inom sjöfarten under de senaste 25 åren. Initiativet till sjöarbetskonventionen (the MLC) kom från arbetsmarknadens parter i ILO och syftet var att anpassa de arbetsrättsliga reglerna till den moderna sjöfarten och att ersätta så många som möjligt av ILO:s konventiIn February 2006 a new “super convention” was adopted at the Maritime Session of the International Labour Conference as a response to the developments in the maritime industry over the past 25 years. The initiative to the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) came from the social partners of the ILO and the purpose was to adapt the maritime labour standards to the modern maritime industry and to replac

Penningtvätt har länge varit ett uppmärksammat problem, men inte förrän på senare år, särskilt efter den 11 september 2001 och terroristattackerna i USA har stora krafttag gjort att bekämpningen av problemet kommit igång. Bekämpningen och förhindrandet av penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism är även viktigt utifrån ett större perspektiv. Om man kan strypa finanserna för kriminell verksamhet,Money laundering has for a long time been an acknowledged problem, now more than ever. Especially after 9/11 2001 and the terrorist attacks in the USA, joint efforts have made combating the problem a serious matter. Combating and prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing is also important from a larger perspective. If you can close off finances of criminal activity, you are one step c

The Treaty provisions regulating the free movement of goods are articles 28 to 31 EEC (former articles 30 to 36). Article 28 prohibits Member States from discriminating, that is, favouring or in any other way putting its domestic products at an advantage against imported products unless the Member State can find just cause under article 30 (former article 36) for its practices. For a national meas

The paper/presentation gives an overview of Peer-Assisted Study Schemes (SI-PASS) in Higher Education in Europe. SI-PASS is a method of improving student performance in “difficult” courses combining “how to learn” with “what to learn”. SI-PASS sessions are scheduled parallel to the regular education and are guided and facilitated by a “senior” student, the SI-PASS leader. The sessions are based on

To address the absence of the comprehensive analysis of energy-water-carbon emissions nexus between large-scale economies and different industries and the inability to predict policy impacts across industrial hierarchies, this study develops a novel framework integrating environmentally-extended multi-regional input-output analysis with structural decomposition analysis and policy-driven scenario

During the 1980s the word ’postmodernism’ was inserted into the dicourse of Swedish literature in a curious way. Even though both writers and critics found the word bewildering – or deemed it a buzzword devoid of meaning – it sparked fierce debates. Despite this, and despite the fact that few wanted to be associated with the word, it has become common to describe the 1980s as the era of Swedish li
