This thesis is about bargaining in the Swedish Riksdag and the Danish Folketing. It departs from the propositions, forwarded by Swedish and Danish scholars. (1) that the level of conflict in the parliaments have increased and (2) that minority governments are weak and unable to pursue a consequent and responsible economic policy. It examines the function of bargaining between political parties (em
Using data from an ongoing Swedish intervention project, the observed durations of nasopharyngeal carriage of penicillin-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (PNSP) (MIC of penicillin G of >= 0.5 mu g/ml) stratified by both pneumococcal serogroup and age of the carrier were compared. The means and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by fitting a gamma distribution to the observed dura
The aim of the study was to investigate arterial blood pressure (BP) and the use of pharmacological treatment in patients with Lewy body dementia (cLBD) and Alzheimer's disease (cAD) diagnosed on clinical grounds. BP and pharmacological treatment was analysed based on the medical records of 200 deceased dementia patients. Forty-eight cases with LBD and 45 AD were diagnosed using clinical criteria.

BACKGROUND: BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the two major susceptibility genes involved in hereditary breast cancer. This study was undertaken to provide reliable population-based estimates of genetic influence and to characterize the nature and prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline mutations in early-onset breast cancer.METHODS: In a series comprising all women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of
Exposure to organic dust originating from biofuels can cause adverse health effects. In the present study we have assessed the dustiness in terms of microbial components and particles of various biofuels by using a rotating drum as a dust generator. Microbial components from straw, wood chips, wood pellets and wood briquettes were quantified by several methods. Excellent correllations (r greater t
Analys av Edgar G Ulmers filmer med särskilt fokus på hans tidiga jiddisch-språkliga verk.
In apparently monogamous or polygynous birds, sperm from several males may compete to fertilize the eggs laid by one female. In this study we evaluate sperm competition in the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) by means of a mate-switching experiment. Already-mated males were removed between 1-7 d before their mates started egg-laying, resulting in the female remating with a new male. The origin
BACKGROUND: In the prostate, the importance of sex hormones for its normal development and function is well known. However, it has been proposed that various neuroendocrine (NE) hormones and growth factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of prostatic carcinoma (CaP). Neuroendocrine differentiation appears to be associated with tumour progression and the androgen-independent state, for which th
In this paper, we consider fundamental limitations for DOA estimation with arbitrary lossless antennas or antenna arrays inserted inside a sphere. Spherical vector modes and their associated equivalent circuits and Q factor approximations are employed as a general framework for the analysis. The classical broadband matching theory by Fano is extended to a general multiport S-parameter model of the

We study classical and quantum chaos for two interacting particles on the plane. This is the simplest nontrivial case which sheds light on chaos in interacting many-body systems. The system consists of a confining one-body potential, assumed to be a deformed harmonic oscillator, and a two-body interaction of Coulomb type. In general, the dynamics is mixed with regular and chaotic trajectories. The
Discussion about Director/Actor/Film Historian Peter Bogdanovich with regard to his book Who the hell is it? (In Swedish)
Trichoderma cellulases appear in several isoforms which makes their purification and analysis difficult. We used fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) to purify three major cellulases and to quantitate these enzymes in reconstituted mixtures during cellulose hydrolysis studies (in lack of specific substrates and because of the synergism between the enzymes such analysis is very difficult, if a
Analysis, assessment, and design of advanced wire-line transmission schemes over multipair copper cables require accurate knowledge of the channel properties. This paper investigates modeling of multiconductor cables based on interpair impedance measurements. A unified approach to the application of the "Cioffi" model is introduced. The direct measurement approach of the underlying interpair imped
