Chip area parameters, such as undeformed chip thickness, equivalent chip thickness, contact edge length, etc., along with tool angles are among defining for the mechanical and thermal conditions of the cutting process. This paper considers the case of external turning with a round insert under variation, in wide range, of back and side rake angles and their influence on the main chip area and surf
Westergren R, Nilsson D, Heglind M, Arani Z, Grande M, Cederberg A, Ahren B, Enerback S. Overexpression of Foxf2 in adipose tissue is associated with lower levels of IRS1 and decreased glucose uptake in vivo. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 298: E548-E554, 2010. First published December 15, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00395.2009.-Many members of the forkhead genes family of transcription factors have
Background: Family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity are likely to benefit from utilising case management services performed by case managers. However, research has not yet explored their experiences of case managers. Objectives: The aim of the study was to deepen the understanding of the importance of case managers to family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity. D
Femtosecond laser pulse control of exciton dynamics in biological chromophore complexes is studied theoretically using the optimal control theory specified to open quantum systems. Based on the laser pulse induced formation of an excitonic wave packet the possibility to localize excitation energy at a certain chromophore within a photosynthetic antenna system (FMO complex of green bacteria) is inv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen med detta avhandlingsarbete har varit att undersöka cyklin D1 och HIF-1 i förhållande till ÖR i brösttumörer. Ytterligare en målsättning var att undersöka om cyklin D1 och HIF-1 kan påverka utfallet av tamoxifenbehandling i kliniska bröstcancerstudier. I delarbete 1 fann vi att i ÖR-positiva tumörer med områden där tumörcellerna faktiskt var ÖR-negativa, Estrogen receptor (ER) status can define breast cancer patients who would benefit from adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. However, resistance to tamoxifen is often observed and possible mechanisms may be loss or reduction of ER, dysfunctional ER- signaling and ligand independent activation of the receptor. Hypoxia and hypoxia inducible factor-1? (HIF-1) expression has been correlated to loss of ER in bre
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av tre olika artiklar som kan läsas separat. Varje artikel har tilldelats ett eget kapitel i avhandlingen. Självständigheten av dessa kapitel bör inte tolkas som att de inte hör ihop. Förutom att alla tillhör området makroekonomi, har alla den gemensamma egenskapen att relatera till nutida ekonomisk politiska debatten. Titeln på den första artikThis thesis consists of three distinct articles that can be read separately. Each one has been awarded a chapter of its own. The independence of these chapters should not be taken as meaning that they are unrelated. Besides belonging all to the subfield of macroeconomics, they share the common feature of being inherently economic policy oriented. The title of the first article is "Fiscal Policy a
Karyotype structures of Scenedesmus acuminatus (Lagerch.) Chod. and Scenedesmus pectinatus Meyen are compared. The karyotype of S. acuminatus (n = 5) is described for the first time. It reveals four large metacentric and one large submeta centric chromosomes (4M + 1SM). The established karyotype differences have been helpful in clarifying the taxonomic position of these two species. The cytologica
We studied the prevalence and intensity of the haemosporidian blood parasite Haemoproteus payevskyi in great reed warblers at Lake Kvismaren (6 years) and Lake Segersjo (3 years) in Sweden. Based on microscopic inspection of slides from 282 adult birds, 20.6% showed infection of H. payevskyi in circulating red blood cells in at least 1 year. For parasite prevalence, there was no difference between
Qusta ibn Luqa (fl. 860) was a prominent figure in the Graeco-Arabic translation movement that reached its peak in the 9th century. At the request of wealthy and influential commissioners, Qusta translated Greek works on astronomy, mathematics, mechanics and natural science into Arabic. He also produced works of his own: more than sixty treatises are attributed to him. He wrote mainly on medical s
We compare two ternary microemulsions, stabilized by the nonionic surfactant pentaethylene-glycol-dodecyl-ether (C12E5), containing decane or hexadecane. The comparison involves phase behavior and properties of O/W droplet microemulsions investigated with SAXS, static and dynamic light scattering, and NMR. Striking differences are observed. The systems are analyzed in terms of curvature elastic pr
In this written study, I have researched video game music from the 90’s and early 2000’s to see what I can learn from the process of composing music for video games, as well as how the hardware and software capabilities of the game consoles shaped the music. First it presents my own background and relation to the subject, next it establishes what functionally separates video game music from conven
Electric cars are by many considered a sustainable solution to the ever-growing demand for road vehicles and fuel. The transportation sector is responsible for almost a third of the total greenhouse gas emissions globally and approximately 80% of these emissions can be attributed to road vehicles. Thus, there is an urgent need for a shift away from fossil fuels in the sector. While the consumer in
In light of a feminist read of violence as existent along continuums, this study examines how violence against women and girls is discursively represented in Northern Ireland’s strategy to End Violence Against Women and Girls. This is done based on Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be” approach to policy analysis, through which two prominent problem representations were identified.
This thesis analyzes the legal challenges of inheritances within Colombia’s tax treaty network, specifically addressing the asymmetrical tax coverage that arises when Colombia applies Double Taxation Conventions on Income and Capital to cross-border inheritances. The core research question is whether inheritance taxes can be covered by the OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and Capital, as interp
Background and Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Working Party (WP) on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology (RCI&BGT) held six business meetings between December 2021 and June 2024. This report describes the new blood group systems and antigens ratified during these meetings. Materials and Methods: Candidate systems and antigens were reviewed acco
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin disease associated with impaired quality of life. Evidence from Sweden on out-of-pocket expenses and productivity losses remains limited. This study assessed the burden of AD among adults in relation to health-related quality of life (HRQoL), work productivity, activity impairment, willingness to pay for symptom relief, economic outcomes, considering comorb
Summary Title: Taxes and Human Capital as Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment in EU: The role of Most Favoured Nation treatment Author: Andreas Helmersson Supervisors: Cecilé Brokelind and Rikard Larsson Problem discussion and problem Formulation: The recent year’s rapid increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) is a clear indication of increasing globalisation. In order to stay competitiv
Background: Research suggests that the growing prevalence of obesity may be related to the influence of the health behaviours of peers. We look at clustering of exercise and eating behaviours amongst a previously unstudied group, young adults in Sweden. Previous research has mainly been conducted in the United States and Britain, countries that have relatively high rates of obesity. Methods: Using
Kearns-Sayre syndrome is a mitochondrial disorder characterized by the emergence before the age of 20 years of progressive external ophthalmoplegia, pigmentary retinopathy, with other heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Generally, mitochondrial DNA deletions were associated with KSS but the size and position of these deletions differ among patients. This study reported a Tunisian patient with t
