BACKGROUND: Advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptors (RAGE) have been implicated in cancer development through their proinflammatory capabilities. However, prospective data on their association with cancer of specific sites, including pancreatic cancer, are limited.METHODS: Prediagnostic blood levels of the AGE product Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and the endogenous secreted rec
This report contains a fire safety evaluation of Le Cardinal, a restaurant and nightclub located in Helsingborg, Sweden. A normal Saturday evening Le Cardinal has about 400 guests in very various ages, from 20 to over 60 according to information from Johan Fredholm, safety responsible on Le Cardinal. The report only covers the early stages of the fire until untenable environments occur. It just co
Authors: Lisa Grönlund and Jenny Jalvelius Title: Body & Mind – A discourse analysis of two participants’ constructions of transsexualism within the frame of a public investigation [translated title] Supervisor: Mats Hilte Assessor: Anna Meeuwisse Lately transsexualism and transsexuals have received increased attention in media and in the field of research and we have aimed to contribute t
The valuation of assets and the value of investments has been a frequently discussed phenomenon in the academia over the years. Discussions have concerned the game of chance, behavior of investors and computer traded automatic algorithms. Despite these hypotheses investing gurus as Warren Buffet basically try to find undervalued stocks where the fundamental value exceeds the market value of the st
Many studies show that socioeconomic and demographic variables have a strong link with human health which in turn affects life expectancy and age. This paper presents the results of a principal component regression analysis, in order to describe a good regression model for mean age of the population of all the countries in the world. The data are from “Philips Geographical Digest” and “World Resou
This paper examines the structure of livestock farming and of the meat industry in Sweden, focusing on possibilities for small-scale farmers to develop, whether individually or in a group, self-sufficient systems of high quality meat production. The four areas identified as presenting structural difficulties (and in some cases opportunities) to small-scale producers are: i) the centralized structu
De flesta aktiebolag i Sverige är fåmansföretag – vilket innebär att de ägs till övervägande del av en eller ett fåtal personer – och för dessa företag gäller särskilda skatterättsliga regler. Bakgrunden till denna särreglering är att det inte föreligger något sant tvåpartsförhållande mellan företaget och dess ägare, vilka utan särreglering därför skulle kunna skaffa sig omotiverade skattemässiga
Search engines have become a starting point to the Internet, and for the large majority, Google Search is the preferred choice. Research shows that users perceive search engines as neutral tools, or neutral platforms of information, when in fact search results per definition are ranked according to many different principles and regulations. Therefore, search engines are important gatekeepers of th
The purpose of this paper is to analyze organization active immigrants' social relationships and how they describe it have changed since they moved to Sweden. We will also reason about possible gender differences. We have used a qualitative approach in which we interviewed nine persons from Iraq who moved to Sweden, five of them are women and four are men. We met our respondents in an organiza
Purpose: The main purpose of our research is to create interesting theoretical and practical insights rather than developing empirical generalisations about the experiences of employees from Prestige Consulting and BigTech regarding the merger and subsequent integration of the two organisations. Methodology (Empirical Foundation): The research is based on an empirically driven case study within th
Monapostrukturen ligger i Nampula provinsen i norra Moçambique, och utgör en del av Mocambique bältet. Strukturen är ca 35-40 km i diameter och har en mycket låg topografi. Trots detta syns den väl på satellitbilder och flygfotografier. Relationer mellan samt utbredning av de enskilda bergartsleden är inte helt klarlagd och frågor såsom transportriktning, litostratigrafisk uppdelning samt tektonisThe Monapo Structure is situated in the Nampula Subprovince in northern Moçambique, and makes up a part of the Moçambique Orogenic Belt. It is a 35 x 40 km subcircular structure, with a very flat topography, and it clearly shows up on aerial photos. The regional setting of the Monapo Structure is not yet clearly settled and many questions regarding transportation directions, lithostratigraphic gro
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Röjningsrösen kan härstamma från bronsålder och ända in i modern tid. De är svåra att datera då det inte finns några karaktäristika för ett röse som skapats under en viss tidsepok. Röjningsröseområden är likväl en stor källa till kunskap om hur jorden brukats under förhistorisk och historisk tid. Med hjälp av paleoekologi kan den förhistoriska miljön studeras. PIn the village Berg, Gällared’s parish, Halland, there is an area with 60 to 75 hectares of abandoned arable fields is present. Within Berg, Yttra Berg’s nature reserve is situated, where 9 hectares of the abandoned arable fields has been recorded, consisting of clearance cairns, terraces and stone walls. Close to the recorded abandoned arable fields a smaller bog, Sänkemosse, is situated. Nearby
Mätningar av magnetisk hysteresis har genomförts på sedimentborrkärnor med hög tidsupplösning för att studera om sedimentkornstorleken kan relateras till relativ bottenströmshastighet. Mätningarna utfördes på tre borrkärnor, en från Nordatlanten och två från Norska havet. Hysteresismätningar är känsliga för variationer i de magnetiska kornstorlekarna (Day et al. 1977) och anses vara representativaHigh-resolution magnetic hysteresis measurements were carried out on three sediment cores, one from the North Atlantic and two from the Norwegian Sea. These measurements can be used to reconstruct changes in magnetic grain-size. Physical grain-size has been interpreted as a proxy for bottom current intensity (McCave et al. 1995) and this study shows that the hysteresis measurements can contribute
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate if there are any differences regarding syntactic complexity in written language between persons with (phonologically based) reading and writing difficulties and a control group. Earlier research has pointed to such a difference, indicating that texts written by subjects with reading and writing difficulties display a lower grade of syntactic complexity
Title: Improvisation ? a pedagogical perspective. This investigation studies how church musicians and pianists describe the use of improvisation in their teaching. The research questions focus on the relationship between improvisation and interpretation, the aim how to use improvisation and how this could be realized. To get the answer of these questions, I have interviewed two organists and two p
In this essay I have aimed to examine how the theology of Paul Tillich relate to modern views of reality, both the way it was expressed in his contemporary time and the way I see it today. Reality I have defined as an entirety of the physic- and metaphysic reality. A so called panentism where God is reality and the world is a part of this reality. With Tillichs Systematic Theology as my principal
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
