End-to-side (ETS) nerve repair is used in selected clinical cases. The mechanisms, by which regeneration into the attached nerve segment is initiated and occur, are still not fully understood. Based on numerous experimental studies, different mechanisms have been Suggested by which regenerating axons are recruited, such as contamination From the proximal nerve segment, collateral sprouting, and te
Fanconi anemia is a recessively inherited disease that is characterized by congenital abnormalities, bone marrow failure, and a predisposition to develop cancer, particularly squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) in the head and neck and anogenital regions. Previous studies of Fanconi anemia SCCs, mainly from US patients, revealed the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA in 21 (84%) of 2
It has been suggested that inflammation related to intracerebral transplantation surgery can affect the survival of intrastriatal neural allografts. To test this hypothesis, we transplanted dissociated embryonic mesencephalic tissue from one of two rat strains, Lewis (allogeneic grafts) or Sprague-Dawley (syngeneic grafts), to the striatum of Sprague-Dawley rats. The target striatum was either int
Previous findings suggest a link between neuroinflammatory processes and suicidality. Despite several lines of evidence supporting this link, including increased pro-inflammatory markers in blood-, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- and in post-mortem brain samples from suicidal individuals, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this pilot study, we explored the possibility that autoimmun
The proteolytic caspase cascade plays a central role in the signaling and execution steps of apoptosis. This study investigated the activation of different caspases in apoptosis induced by MAL (a folding variant of human alpha-lactalbumin) isolated from human milk. Our results show that the caspase-3-like enzymes, and to a lesser extent the caspase-6-like enzymes, were activated in Jurkat and A549
The first recovery of the conodont Hindeodus parvus from Žiri (Slovenia) a few years ago highlights this area for Early Triassic biostratigraphical study. Systematic sampling of five sections in the Idrija-Žiri area has yielded the new species Platyvillosus corniger sp. nov. and Neospathodus planus sp. nov. Based on these new species and other conodont elements collect
The aim of this study was to find out how girls with anorexia nervosa experienced response from their environment, including health professionals as well as family, friends and the society. The study focuses on the girls stories about the response, their experience from their illness; therefore we used a qualitative content analysis, based on five autobiographies. Our questions which we based our
Denna uppsats redogör för den senaste ändringen rörande tidsbegränsade anställningar i Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd, samt undersöker huruvida syftet med den har uppnåtts. Dessutom undersöks huruvida den nuvarande regleringen behöver ändras ytterligare på grund av den kritik den fått beträffande att den enligt TCO och EU-kommissionen inte skulle uppfylla Visstidsdirektivets syfte. ResultateThis thesis gives an account of the latest change regarding fixed term employment in the Swedish Employment Protection Act (Lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd) and whether the purpose of it has been fulfilled. Furthermore, an investigation is made regarding whether this regulation needs further change due to accusations from TCO (The Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees) and the Euro
Temporary employment was legalized in 1992 in Sweden and the development has since been strong. A Euro directive on working conditions for temporary workers was passed by the European Parliament in 2008. The directive on temporary agency work contains a principle of equal treatment of employees in the temporary-work agencies. This provision means that the basic working and employment conditions fo
Volatility smile arising from the Black-Scholes model is a long studied subject in option pricing theory. By analysing higher order derivatives of the model, I hope to put another perspective to the problem. Accoridng to a study on the American S&P 500 future options, about 90% of the risks of holding an option in five days can be removed by using higher order derivatives of Black-Scholes. The
Algeria, alongside many other countries, was not swept up in the so called third wave of democratization. Instead, the wake of some political opening, it experienced a return to authoritarian rule. With the holding of regular elections in a multi-party system that allowed for relatively free press, traditional democratization theory would predict political reform. Arguing that this liberalized for
Den svenska jämställdhetspolitiken utgår från ett övergripande mål om att kvinnor och män ska ha samma möjligheter att forma både sitt eget liv och samhället. Målet bygger på en tanke om att det existerar ett strukturellt och ojämlikt maktförhållande mellan män och kvinnor. Det övergripande jämställdhetspolitiska målet anknyter på så sätt till Yvonne Hirdmans teori om genussystemet och den underorThe gender equality policy in Sweden is based on a main objective of equal opportunities for both men and women to shape their lives as well as the society. The objective is founded on an idea that there exists an unequal relationship of power between women and men. Therefore, the objective also relates to Yvonne Hirdmans theory on the gender system and the subordination of women that follows from
Ungdomar befinner sig i en utsatt position på den europeiska arbetsmarknaden. De saknar av naturliga skäl ofta den kompetens och arbetslivserfarenhet som efterfrågas av arbetsgivaren, samtidigt som ungdomars anställningar – när de väl erhåller en – tenderar att vara mer otrygga än vad som är fallet för andra kategorier av arbetstagare. Finanskrisen år 2008 har i flera avseenden inneburit en förvär
