Uppsatsen presenterar utförligt den grönbok kommissionen utfärdade 1995 inför den framtida revideringen av vertikala avtal och analyserar effekterna av de fyra alternativa förslag som grönboken innehåller. Uppsatsen pekar på att den strikt formella hållning som gemenskapspraxis dittills utvecklat inte befrämjar en sund ekonomisk utveckling. Inte minst är den ensidiga betoningen av integrationsaspe

Relationen mellan de levande och döda kroppar är tvetydig bland svenskar i allmänhet. Å ena sidan fins ett avståndstaagande till den döda kroppen. Den tas om hand av specialister i speciella lokaler för döda. Å andra sidan ger många uttryck för en närhet till den döda kroppen. Den avlidnes identitet hör nära samman med det liv som just levts på jorden, och inte med ett himmelskt liv efter döden. K

Over the last decades there has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of some diseases associated with the male reproductive system, including poor semen quality, testicular cancer and congenital developmental abnormalities such as cryptorchidism and hypospadias, malformations of the urethra and scrotum respectively. Based on these observations one recurring theme is the concern that certain e

The Lundby study is a classic epidemiological investigation. The first field investigation took place in the parishes of Dalby and Bonderup in 1947. The Lundby population, consisting of 3563 probands, was investigated for the fourth time in 1997 -2000 by Per Nettelbladt and his research team. Previous investigations took place in 1947, 1957, and 1972. Several sources of information have been used,

Objectives. RA is associated with joint destruction and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Possible predictors for CVD are early changes in body composition. We therefore evaluated whether lean mass of arms and legs (LMAL), total body fat mass (BFM) or truncal fat distribution (TFD) are altered early in RA, and if so, which factors are associated. Methods. We included 132 RA patients (95 women) with

The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) in Sweden. This evaluation is set against the background of evidence-based social work practice and is organized around four separate but interrelated studies. The first of these studies used program theory reconstruction to investigate three conceptualizations of evidence-based

Despite recent progress, therapy for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is still inadequate. Dysregulated Notch signaling in CCRCC contributes to tumor growth, but the full spectrum of downstream processes regulated by Notch in this tumor form is unknown.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Medical emigration from developing to developed countries is a well established phenomenon of substantial importance. Though Libya is classified as an upper-middle income country, it has been affected by this trend. This study was undertaken to identify some of the possible reasons behind the emigration of Libyan doctors and factors that might motivate them to return. FINDING

Since their introduction to the toad-free Australian continent cane toads (Bufo marinus) have caused a dramatic increase in naïve varanid mortality when these large lizards attempt to feed on this toxic amphibian. In contrast Asian-African varanids, which have coevolved with toads, are resistant to toad toxin. Toad toxins, such as Bufalin target the H1-H2 domain of the α(1) subunit of the sodium-p
