Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), the authors examined the association of ethanol intake at recruitment (1,119 cases) and mean lifelong ethanol intake (887 cases) with lung cancer. Information on baseline and past alcohol consumption, lifetime tobacco smoking, diet, and the anthropometric characteristics of 478,590 participants was collected between 19

As multimedia- and group-oriented computing becomes increasingly popular for the users of wireless mobile networks, the importance of features like quality of service (QoS) and multicasting support grows. Ad hoc networks can provide users with the mobility they demand, if efficient QoS multicasting strategies are developed. The ad hoc QoS multicasting (AQM) protocol achieves multicasting efficienc

PURPOSE: To study factors that might contribute to intraoperative proximal type I endoleak and to evaluate the placement of giant Palmaz stents as a therapeutic option. METHODS: Thirty-three patients (30 men; median age 72 years, range 50-85) with abdominal aortic aneurysms underwent implantation of fully supported Gianturco Z-stent-based endografts (12 custom-made aortomonoiliac and 21 bifurcated

Customer orientation is strongly visible in the visions and strategies of most organizations, but how do these visions and strategies move from intentions to practice? This question provides the focus for this research which aims to acquire deeper insights into this process. The point of departure is the change in perspective from a product to a customer orientation in product and service developi

The relationship between on the one hand personality traits and, on the other hand, neuropsychological test performance, self-rated distress symptoms, psychosocial work exposure, and social interaction patterns, was studied in a group of healthy women (N= 101). All subjects completed the Karolinska Scales of Personality inventory (KSP) and the majority of the subjects (n = 88) completed the State

Denna uppsats syfte är att undersöka sätt att utveckla engagemang i och förståelse av klimatfrågan genom läsundervisning. Metoden jag har valt för att utreda det är aktionsforskning, genomförd på en gymnasieskola i södra Skåne. Där gjorde jag med sex elever en övning utifrån min valda sorts läsundervisning, lässtrategin dialogbaserad strategiundervisning, och en aktuell text om klimathotet. På så

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om svenska företag resultatmanipulerar åren innan konkurs. Dessutom syftar denna studie till att undersöka om mängden resultatmanipulering åren innan konkurs korrelerar med hur kapitalintensiva företagen är och med företagens storlek. Metod: Studien har använt den modifierade Jones-modellen för att mäta mängden resultatmanipulering bland 738 svenskaPurpose: The purpose of this study is to examine if Swedish companies perform earnings management four years prior to filing for bankruptcy. This study also aims to examine whether the amount of earnings management before bankruptcy correlates with how capital intense the companies are and the size of the companies. Methodology: The modified Jones model has been used to measure the amount of earn

Title: Sustainable investments. How are they interpreted and used as a part of branding?

Do bacteria handle stress better than us? Do bacteria have stress too? Are they able to deal with stress? If so, how do bacteria deal with stress? Certainly, bacteria experience stress too. Bacterial stress can be chemical (caused by toxic, harmful compounds e.g. antibiotics), or physical (caused by heat or harsh environment). Bacteria are pretty smart to handle stress. They have developed specif

Användning av den maltosnegativa jäststammen Saccharomycodes ludwigii för tillverkning av alkoholfri öl, metodutveckling. I detta projekt har en metod utvecklats som ger mikrobryggerier möjligheten att tillverka alkoholfri öl. I takt med att fler blir medvetna om alkoholens negativa effekter, ökar intresset för alkoholfri öl, även hos väldigt små bryggeriet, så kallade mikrobryggerier. Då det kräNon-alcoholic beer is gaining more attention in the brewing industry due to the negative health and economic consequences of alcohol consumption, even smaller microbreweries are showing interest in the production of non-alcoholic beer. Producing non-alcoholic beer has been restricted to the large breweries due to the special equipment needed and the high investment costs, but by using biological m

The purpose of this paper was to develop a better understanding of the discursive, cognitive and emotional experience of symbolic management attempts of strategic change and its enactment in the organizational practice from both a managerial and a non-managerial perspective. To realize this research purpose, we conducted an explorative, ethnographically-inspired qualitative case study in a single

Apoptosis is a vital physiological defence mechanism against tumorigenesis and critical for embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and discharging damaged or infected cells. Protein members of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family regulates the cellular commitment to cell survival or programmed cell death by intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptosis. In response to intracellular stresses, this apoptotic bala

This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an

Bakgrund: Det finns en brist på studier som belyser omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården. Fokus ligger på den akuta medicinska behandlingen och omvårdnadsåtgärder prioriteras inte i ett akut skede. För att kunna utveckla ambulanssjukvård är det viktigt att inte bortse från omvårdnadsbehov i det akuta skedet. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors perspektiv på om

Under projektets gång användes gen-editeringsmetoden CRISPR/Cas9 för att förhindra uttrycket av en gen som är associerad med en familjär form av ALS i två stamcellslinjer som hade blivit differentierade till hjärnceller. Genom genuttrycksanalys visades att CRISPR/Cas9 hade lyckats orsaka en fyrfaldig minskning av SOD1-uttryck i båda cellinjer. Amyotrofisk lateralskleros, förkortat ALS är en neuromAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration and death of both upper and lower motor neurons for which there is no cure currently available. The degeneration of motor neurons leads to the inability to carry out voluntary movement and death usually occurs 3-5 years after disease onset by respiratory failure. The most common cause of familial ALS i

Swedish working class literature has since its origins as rebellious poems shared among working class citizens become an acclaimed literary movement. During the last century working class literature changed drastically depending on factors such as reception and literary trends, most notably the trend of autobiographic novels presenting the authors own experiences of class based injustice during “t

Affärssystem ses som en organisations nervsystem då det integrerar verksamhetens alla avdelningar och processer. Att byta affärssystem är en komplex förändring vilket gör det relevant att ha vetskap om vilka drivkrafter som ligger till grund för systembytet. Syftet med studien är att bidra till ökad förståelse för på vilka grunder organisationer väljer att implementera nya affärssystem. Studiens f
