Use of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) has increased substantially during the last decades. In the beginning fire safety engineering was mainly used for fire performance based design of buildings but recently new areas such as marine transport have appeared as new applications for fire safety engineering. So on one hand we have the increasing use of FSE. On the other hand we have the introduction of

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av tio kvinnor utvecklar bröstcancer någon gång under sin livstid, vilket innebär att bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancertypen hos kvinnor idag. De vanligaste behandlingarna av bröstcancer är kirurgi, radioterapi, kemoterapi, hormonterapi och immunoterapi. Nackdelen med dessa behandlingsmetoder är att de flesta av dem ger allvarliga bieffekter hos patienten. Därför Apoptosis is a defined process for cells to commit suicide through a set of biochemical and morphological cell changes. Activated apoptotic signals converge on the mitochondria, leading to permeabilization of mitochondrial membranes and release of different apoptosis regulatory proteins into the cytosol. With my studies I wanted to investigate the importance of polyamines in the regulation of apop

Three potential filter materials, granular activated carbon, bone meal and iron fines, were evaluated for treatment of heavy metal contaminated landfill leachate. All materials could sorb some metals to a high extent; more than 90 % of some metals were removed. However, all filters suffered from the drawback of releasing unwanted substances. Geochemical modelling was used to elucidate sorption mec

The article presents the results of a quantitative study of Norwegian and Swedish newspaper articles from 2000 and 2001. The study includes a limited content analysis of the newspaper articles, and a comparison to statistical data on migration.

Background Anastomotic leak is one of the most serious complications following bariatric laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), and associated with high morbidity rates and prolonged hospital stay. Timely management is of utmost importance for the clinical outcome. This study evaluated the approach to suspected leakage in a high-volume bariatric surgery unit. Methods All consecutive

In this thesis, the nutritional regulation and clinical significance of selenoprotein P (SeP) in human plasma of healthy and diseased subjects was investigated. For the analysis of SeP, a radioimmunoassay was developed using polyclonal antibodies. The epitope recognized by the antibodies was apparently stable after storage of plasma in the frozen state for years. In the studies included, the coeff

In today’s business landscape the view and role of the customer, or market, in shaping and guiding strategy and the competitive advantage of a business, is given increasing attention within many areas of business theory. By definition the supply chain discipline focuses on suppliers from the perspective of the manufacturer, not customers. However this paper illustrates the use of the supply chain

Popular Abstract in Swedish Digital bildteknik dominerar snart all bildhantering inom alla delar av samhället. Målsättningen med denna avhandling var att utveckla en undersökningsmetod för mätning av knäleden i belastat läge med hjälp av digital bildplatteteknik. Vad är bildplatteteknik? Traditionellt har röntgenbilder framställts med hjälp av fotografisk film. De framkallade bilderna har sedan The overall aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a measurement system for computed radiography (CR) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), permitting measurements of long distances and angles in and between related images. The developed measurement system, which was based on the QUESTOR Precision Radiography (QPR) system, was applied to the weight-bearing knee with specia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en av de få större statsrättsliga studierna i Sverige på senare år. Vad som analyseras i boken är inte rättsläget beträffande någon enskild rättighet utan de skyddsmekanismer för de medborgerliga rättigheterna som finns i ett antal västliga rättssystem. Förutom Sverige behandlas Danmark, Norge, Finland, Tyskland, Frankrike, Storbrittanien och USA. Särskilda kapConstitutional Protection of Human Rights means something else than international protection, first and foremost since it is exercised at a national level. This protection may be excercised by courts or by special mechanisms of protection within the legislative process. However, if this protection of the basic rights of the individuals is to be a strong one, it is likely to limit the freedom of ac

This booklet is a report for a case study visit during four day field trip, a group of nine PhD students and their supervisors – all part of the National Research School for Architecture and Planning in the Urban Landscape, APULA – set out to explore what may be considered the outback of Western Europe’s conurbations, the transnational region of Kiruna -Narvik.Both “remote” and “resourceful”, “thr
