Background: Delayed reconstruction of transection or laceration injuries of peripheral nerves is inflicted by a reduced regeneration capacity. Diabetic conditions, more frequently encountered in clinical practice, are known to further impair regeneration in peripheral nerves. Chitosan nerve guides (CNGs) have recently been introduced as a new generation of medical devices for immediate peripheral

The 2010 population and housing census in Ghana revealed that more than half of the Ghanaian population lived in urban centers. Critical to the phenomenon of urbanization is the question of how to sustainably feed the urban population especially the urban poor as rapid urbanization has the tendency to urbanize poverty. This has led to renewed policy debate about the implications of farming in citi

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) remains a leading cause of transfusionrelated deaths. In most cases, anti-leukocyte antibodies in the transfusion product trigger TRALI, but not all anti-leukocyte antibodies cause TRALI. It has been shown that the anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antibody 34-1-2S (anti-H-2Kd) causes TRALI in BALB/c mice (MHC class I haplotype H-2Kd)

BACKGROUND: Two pathways are responsible for the majority of regulated protein catabolism in eukaryotic cells: the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and lysosomal self-degradation through autophagy. Both processes are necessary for cellular homeostasis by ensuring continuous turnover and quality control of most intracellular proteins. Recent studies established that both UPS and autophagy are capa

The subject of this study is the re-intensified dispute between rhetoric and philosophy in the times of the Second Sophistic. The focus of our investigation has been on two authors of this period who have left behind treatises the explicit purpose of which is to attack or defend rhetoric: Sextus Empiricus who is sharply criticising rhetoric and Aelius Aristides who is defending it. Our purpose has

The aim of this thesis is to show how modal particles can be integrated into a modular description of language where grammar and pragmatics are seen as two independent but interacting modules. The modular approach is chosen because of the problems connected with a functional approach. On the syntactic level, it is assumed that modal particles are XPs. The fact that modal particles cannot occur alo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra kapitel. Efter det inledande kapitlet används i kapitel två och tre ekonomiska experiment för att undersöka hur deltagare fördelar ett överskott mellan sig då det finns två fokalpunkter. Kapitel fyra undersöker huruvida en penningpolitisk störning har asymmetriska effekter på de svenska länens sysselsättning. I kapitel två, samförfattat med This thesis consists of two parts. The first part uses economic experiments to investigate how participants choose to divide a surplus in the presence of competing focal points. The second part examines whether a monetary policy shock has asymmetric regional effects. Chapter 2 suggests a simple separation mechanism based on heterogeneity among subjects to understand how they choose equilibrium wh

Denna uppsats avser att utreda hur anställningsskyddet för en professionell tränare ser ut. Syftet är att tydliggöra under vilka förutsättningar som en idrottsförening kan avsluta en tränares anställning. Särskilt fokus riktas mot frågan om det utifrån den nuvarande arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen går att rättfärdiga en uppsägning av en tränare som sker med hänvisning till att denne inte presterat This thesis is aimed at describing the employment protection of sports coaches. The purpose is to clarify the conditions under which a sports association can terminate a coach's employment. Focus will be placed on the question of whether it, on the basis of the current labour law legislation in Sweden, is possible to justify the dismissal of a coach on the grounds that he or she has not achiev

År 2018 ändrades reglerna för förmånsbeskattning av privatfinansierad vård som arbetsgivare betalar åt sina anställda. Tidigare var sådan vårdförmån inte skattepliktig för den anställde och icke avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren, men värdet ska nu tas upp till beskattning i inkomstslaget tjänst och istället är kostnaden avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren. Ett huvudsakligt argument för arbetsgivare att stå In 2018, the rules on taxation of private health care and health care insurances that employers pay to their employees were changed. Previously, such care was not to be taxed for the employee and non-deductible for the employer. The value of such service must now be included for taxation for the employee and is instead deductible for the employer. A major argument for employers to bear these costs

Denna uppsats ämnar att reda ut beskattning av influencers med ett särskilt fokus på hur beskattningen blir när influencers mottar produkter samt om avdragsrätt ligger förhanden för avgivande företag. Influencer marketing innebär att företag marknadsför sig via influencerns kanaler och som ett led i marknadsföringsstrategin, är det inte helt ovanligt att företag skickar produkter i hopp om att inThis essay will explore the taxation of influencers with a focus on how the taxation occurs in situations where the influencer receives a product and how the tax deduction is possible for the business concerned. Influencer marketing entails companies marketing themselves through the social media channels of influencers, as a marketing strategy. It is not uncommon for companies to send out produc

I denna rapport diskuteras mjukvara som används för system bestående av automatiska maskiner som producerar produkter i ett företag. Testning är nödvändigt för att maskinerna ska fungera som planerat. Oftast görs testning manuellt, både under utveckling och medan produktionen är igång. Detta kallas för traditionell testning. Testning görs för att förbättra maskinens programkod. För att testen ska

I Sverige har mängden solel ökat och mängden installerade solcellspaneler likaså. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera kunskapsläget kopplat till hanteringen och den framtida återvinningen av de uttjänta solcellspaneler som installerades i Sverige mellan år 2009 och år 2018. Detta sker både genom att ta reda på vilka mängder solcellspaneler det rör sig om, och genom att undersöka de olika aktIn Sweden, the amount of solar power has increased and so has the amount of installed solar panels. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current state of knowledge about the handling and future recycling of the obsolete solar panels, originally installed between 2009 and 2018. This is done both by finding out the amounts of installed solar panels and by investigating the roles and attitudes

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the limited literature on sustainable consumption in Vietnam with a focus on the young urban consumer. Sustainable consumption is an important area to focus on as Vietnam is an emerging economy with a young population where consumption is increasing and where the young and fast-growing labor market underpins their economic prosperity. Vietnam is also e

Understanding the patterns of evolutionary sequence divergence is fundamental for comparative analyses like phylogenetics or genomics. The rate at which the different sites of protein sequences evolve is multifactorial and the causes of variation among them are highly convoluted. Inference methods have been developed to estimate site-specific evolution rates from sequence alignments. Moreover, sev

Digital 3D city models are used in many GIS applications, such as urban planning. Manual digitization of 3D buildings is rather tedious, hence automated approaches are much preferred. In this study, a pipeline for automated extraction and estimation of building roof facets from LIDAR data are devised based on available methods and ideas, which is part of the entire frame work of automatic creating

Entrepreneurs have difficulties in performing maintenance activities due to the increasing intensity of train services and failing infrastructure. Annually, the state loses billions of SEK due to delays caused by failures in infrastructure or maintenance not performed on time. The largest amounts of delays occur during winter time, when our infrastructure cannot cope with the climate as it is expo
