Early intravesical epirubicin instillation after transurethral resection for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer is inefficient for recurrent tumours
The Visibility of Information Science and Library Science Research in Bibliometric Mapping of the LIS Field
The relation between information science and library science has been debated for decades, and even attempts at utilizing methods generally acknowledged as robust for the purpose of mapping research fields have yielded results with large variations. Therefore, a set of citation analyses was performed, comparing the results of analyses on information science and library science separately but also

Peptide-imprinted polymer microspheres prepared by precipitation polymerization using a single bi-functional monomer.
A single bi-functional monomer, N,O-bismethacryloyl ethanolamine (NOBE), was used in precipitation polymerization system to synthesize molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microspheres. Highly specific binding sites were obtained for N-terminal protected neuropeptides, Boc-Leu-enkephalin and Pyr-Leu-enkephalin. The use of NOBE allowed binding sites to be formed in polymer microspheres that are able

Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants influencing this trait have been identified. We conducted a meta-analysis of 32 genome-wide association studies for WHR adjusted for body mass index (comprising up to 77,167 participants), following up 16 loci in an addit
Maternal and genetic factors determine early life telomere length
In a broad range of species-including humans-it has been demonstrated that telomere length declines throughout life and that it may be involved in cell and organismal senescence. This potential link to ageing and thus to fitness has triggered recent interest in understanding how variation in telomere length is inherited and maintained. However, previous studies suffer from two main drawbacks that
Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
The present thesis is aimed to examine the hypothesis that the degree of vascular inflammation correlates with the expression of vascular endothelin and angiotensin receptors. The receptor changes were studied in subcutaneous resistance arteries in patients with different degrees of ischemic heart disease (IHD). In addition, patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) were also investigated because o
Scaphoid Fractures - epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Båtbenet är ett lite ben i handloven som är väsentlig för handledens funktion. Båtbenet kan skadas om man ramlar och tar emot med handen, och den skadade är ofta en ung man, som inte sällan håller på med sport. Man ser ingen felställning på handledens utsida, men patienten upplever ofta smärta på handledens tummsida. Röntgen har svårt att påvisa ett brott, eftersom båtbAbstract The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. The diagnosis is difficult and untreated the long-term results are poor. Approximately 10% do not unite even if they are treated properly. The aim of this thesis was to study scaphoid fracture epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. During a four-year period (2004-03-01 to 2008-02-28) all patients attending the Emergency Department a
Decentralized LQG Control of Systems with a Broadcast Architecture
In this paper, we consider dynamical subsystems interconnected in a broadcast architecture. In the broadcast-out case, the root node can affect several leaf nodes, but the leaf nodes do not affect any other nodes. Each subsystem is locally controlled via output feedback, and the controllers can communicate according to a structure that parallels the dynamic coupling between subsystems. Explicit st
Employee Compensation in Entrepreneurial Companies
Despite the central role played by human capital in entrepreneurship, little is known about how employees in entrepreneurial firms are compensated and incentivized. We address this gap in the literature by studying 18,935 non-CEO compensation contracts across 1,809 privately held venture-backed companies. Our key finding is that employee compensation varies with the degree to which VCs versus foun
Error-bounded lossy compression of floating-point color buffers using quadtree decomposition
In this paper, we present a new color buffer compression algorithm for floating-point buffers. It can operate in either an approximate (lossy) mode or in an exact (lossless) mode. The approximate mode is error-bounded and the amount of introduced accumulated error is controlled via a few parameters. The core of the algorithm lies in an efficient representation and color space transform, followed b

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 is found in skin and its C-terminal region encodes for antibacterial activity.
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) is a matrix-associated serine protease inhibitor with an enigmatic function in vivo. Here, we describe that TFPI-2 is present in fibrin of wounds and also expressed in skin, where it is up-regulated upon wounding.
Kvinnors rättigheter engagerar muslimska Indonesien
I Indonesien pågår en livlig aktivitet kring hur man bör tolka kvinnors rättigheter inom den muslimska läran. Insikten om genus betydelse står högt på agendan inom forskning och utbildning; vid flera universitet skrivs kursplaner och kurslitteratur utifrån ett genusperspektiv. Även utanför akademien pågår islambaserat arbete för att stärka kvinnors rättigheter. Ett exempel är information om hiv oc
Brända hallar - diskontinuitet och kontinuitet: Ett järnåldersresidens i Uppåkra, Sydsverige
The on-going excavation campaign at Uppåkra in Scania began in 1996 and the site has seen fieldwork annually since. The archaeology covers c. 40 hectares and represents continuous settlement from c 100 BC to AD 1000. Trial trenches have been scattered across the site, with a concentration to what is now seen as the most important part, the residence. Here the foundation of an apparently cultic bui
Gas Monitoring in Human Body Cavities Using Non-Intrusive Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy
Diode laser absorption spectroscopy was utilized for non-intrusive assessment of gas content in human body cavities, including intestines and lungs of a new-born, the mastoid bone, and sinus cavities for monitoring sinusitis recovery in adults.
Ostrich chick humoral immune responses and growth rate are predicted by parental immune responses and paternal colouration
One of the most important measures of offspring performance is growth rate, which is often traded off against another important survival trait, immune function. A particular feature of ostrich chicks maintained in farmed environments is that cohorts of chicks vary widely in size. As parents can have a profound effect on the phenotype and fitness of their offspring, we investigated whether chick gr
