To identify variants for multiple myeloma risk, we conducted a genome-wide association study with validation in additional series totaling 4,692 individuals with multiple myeloma (cases) and 10,990 controls. We identified four risk loci at 3q26.2 (rs10936599, P = 8.70 x 10(-14)), 6p21.33 (rs2285803, PSORS1C2, P = 9.67 x 10(-11)), 17p11.2 (rs4273077, TNFRSF13B, P = 7.67 x 10(-9)) and 22q13.1 (rs877

Thiazide diuretics have been recommended as a first-line antihypertensive treatment, although the choice of 'the right drug in the individual essential hypertensive patient' remains still empirical. Essential hypertension is a complex, polygenic disease derived from the interaction of patient's genetic background with the environment. Pharmacogenomics could be a useful tool to pinpoint gene varian

Permanent ponds are valuable freshwater systems and biodiversity hotspots. They provide diverse ecosystem services (ESs), including water quality improvement and supply, food provisioning, and biodiversity support, despite significant pressure from multiple anthropogenic stressors and the impacts of ongoing global change. However, ponds are largely overlooked in management plans and legislation, a

To assess whether anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], waist-hip ratio [WHR], and estimated fat mass [EFM]) are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and to assess their added prognostic value compared with serum total-cholesterol. The study population comprised 109,509 individuals (53% men) from the MORGAM-Project, aged 19–97 years, without establish

Background: Western multicenter studies on distal pancreatectomy with celiac axis resection (DP-CAR), also known as the Appleby procedure, for locally advanced pancreatic cancer are lacking. We aimed to study overall survival, morbidity, mortality and the impact of preoperative hepatic artery embolization (PHAE). Methods: Retrospective cohort study within the European-African Hepato-Pancreato-Bili

One of the most rapidly evolving genes in humans, PRDM9, is a key determinant of the distribution of meiotic recombination events. Mutations in this meiotic-specific gene have previously been associated with male infertility in humans and recent studies suggest that PRDM9 may be involved in pathological genomic rearrangements. In studying genomes from families with children affected by B-cell prec

Arbetet är utfört åt skogsforskningsstationen Mógilsá som ligger strax norr om Reykjavik. Forskningen inom Mógilsá bedrivs inom delar av eller för hela Island med inriktning inom exempelvis dendrokronologi, proveniensförsök, och studier av insekter. Sedan 1900-talets början har inplantering av exotiska trädarter blivit allt vanligare och i en allt större skala. Syften med inplanteringen är bland aThis study was made in an attempt to give the forest research centre Mógilsá a produced tetratherm map and a better understanding of how topography and temperature influence the growth of two tree species. The digital tetratherm map model, covering the northern part of Iceland, was developed to investigate the correlation between tetratherm and the growth of Picea sitchensis and Larix (sukaczewii

Att Söka efter Higgs-Bosonen Den dittills oupptäckta Higgs-bosonen upptäcktes förra året på CERN i Schweiz. Denna partikel har en central roll i partikelfysiken, och var därför oerhört viktig att upptäcka. Då den lever väldigt kort tid går den inte att detektera direkt. Detta arbete söker finna massan hos Higgs-bosonen, och använder sig då av fallet då den sönderfaller till fyra myoner. Higgs-bosoAbstract Within the Standard Model of particle physics, there was only one undiscovered fundamental particle. This was the Higgs boson. In July 2012, the announcement was made that a Higgs like particle had been discovered by the ATLAS Collaboration and the CMS Collaboration at CERN. The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis was to use data collected by the ATLAS detector facility to estimate the mass of

The Swedish Government has recently initiated additional permit-free buildings with the aim to simplify the Planning and Building act, reduce the housing shortage and increase a property owner’s proprietorship. According to the amendment it is possible to construct a complementary home with the size of 25 square meters in close proximity to an existing house. This building is known as an Attefall

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att ur ett civilrättsligt perspektiv undersöka hur de svenska civilrättsliga reglerna skyddar någon som riskerar att utsättas för barn- och tvångsäktenskap, samt olika myndigheters agerande och förhållningssätt när de möter någon som befinner sig i riskzonen för påtvingade äktenskap. En stor del av de äktenskap som ingås mot någons vilja berör parter som bor i oliThe purpose of this paper is to examine from a civil law perspective how the Swedish legislation protect anyone at risk for child and forced marriages, as well as how various government agencies intervene and approach situations when they meet someone who is at risk of forced marriage. A large part of the marriage entered against someone's will affect parties who live in different countries.

The Swedish government has in July 2010 incorporated a legislation regarding the possibility to deduct a loss incurred by a non-resident subsidiary, from the parent company’s taxable income. This Law is based on the Swedish administrative court’s interpretation of the European Union Court’s judgement of the Marks & Spencer case and the Oy AA case. The law is in my opinion not completely compat

Till följd av finanskrisen förlorade konsumenter genom placeringar i riskfyllda finansiella instrument stora delar av sina investeringar. Under åren 2008 och 2009 inkom fler klagomål till Finansinspektionen och Konsumentverket jämfört med tidigare år om att många konsumenter via rådgivning rekommenderats produkter som inte motsvarat den risk de varit beredda att ta eller att information om risken The aftermath of the financial crisis meant that many consumers lost parts of their investments because they had invested their savings in risky financial instruments. Between the years of 2008 and 2009, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, Finansinspektionen, and the Swedish Consumer Agency, Konsumentverket, received more complaints, compared to previous years, regarding financial advisor

Människohandel för sexuella ändamål är ett komplext fenomen och ett globalt problem som både berör och upprör. Människohandel är gärningar som syftar till ett efterföljande utnyttjande av offret och ett brott där skyddssyftet är personlig frihet och frid. Det är också ett sammansatt problem, det vill säga att det innefattar bland annat brott mot mänskliga rättigheter, organiserad brottslighet, migHuman trafficking for sexual purposes is a complex phenomenon and a global problem that upsets. Human trafficking is an acts aimed to subsequent exploit the victim and a crime which aim the protection of personal liberty and peace. It is also a complex problem, that includes human rights violations, organized crime, migration, gender, poverty and social, economic and political differences between

Den svenska sexualbrottslagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar över åren. Våldtäktsbestämmelsen har på olika sätt utvidgats och tvångskravet har sänkts med tiden. Syftet har delvis varit att förstärka och tydliggöra rätten till sexuellt självbestämmande och sexuell integritet. Detta är två begrepp som har varit återkommande i sexualbrottslagstiftningen under senare år. Trots detta har tvåThe Swedish legislation on sexual offences has been subject to major changes over the years. The provision of rape has in various ways been extended and the coercion requirement has been reduced over time. The purpose of the changes has partly been to strengthen and clarify the sexual integrity and self-determination – two concepts that have been recurring in the legislation on sexual offences in

The current Jägersro horse racetrack in southeast Malmö will be replaced with apartments. Alongside this area Skånska Travsällskapet plans to build a new Jägersro Horse Center on their private land. They wish the center to be Europe's most prominent with a focus on sustainability. In July 2024, the first building is planned to be inaugurated, which is assumed to be subscribed for a power ratin

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda rättsläget för barn som häktas och därefter diskutera hur det förhåller sig till barns särskilda skyddsvärde i straff- och straffprocessrätten. Jag diskuterar och reflekterar även över lagstiftningens eventuella brister, behov av förändring och förbättring samt hur förändringar och förbättringar i sådana fall skulle kunna te sig lämpliga utifrån ett barnrättsThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate the legal position for children being detained and discussing how that relates to children’s particular protective value in penalty- and criminal procedure law. I am also discussing and reflecting on the legislation’s eventual flaws, need of change and improvement and how changes and improvements in those cases could be appropriate from a perspective of

On the July 1, 2020, a new framework of rules regarding reportable arrangements was introduced in Sweden and at the same time a reporting obligation to give information about reportable arrangements to the Swedish Tax Agency (STA) was introduced. For an arrangement to be reportable it must be cross-border and include at least one hallmark. A hallmark is a characteristic in an arrangement which is

Vattnets plats i staden är en fråga som vinner allt mer mark i den svenska samhällsdebatten. Malmö drabbades i augusti 2014 av ett häftigt skyfall som ledde till översvämningar som orsakade stora problem både för privatpersoner och samhället. Förhoppningarna med den nya väderradartekniken är att konsekvenserna av ett sådant skyfall i framtiden inte ska bli lika omfattande. Under sommaren 2018 satThroughout history it has always been crucial to accurately measure, track, and predict precipitation. This has been done using various methods with varying degrees of precision. As the world evolves and as urban areas expand, it has become more apparent that there is a need for a more efficient way to observe and record precipitation. During the summer of 2018, an X-band weather radar located in
