Objective: To evaluate a simple working procedure for recording postoperative complications. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Teaching hospital, Denmark. Subjects: 218 of 312 patients who were operated on from March to July 1996. Interventions: Follow up 30 days after operation by looking up the local register of complications, review of medical records and by structured telephone interv
In the Nordic countries, university language policy and planning centres on balancing the use of the national language(s) vis-à-vis English, whereas less attention has been paid to the roles played by other languages. This study focuses on how space was negotiated for languages other than Swedish and English during language policy negotiations at a Swedish university. Using an ethnographic discour
Background and purpose Polymorphisms in coagulation genes have been associated with early-onset ischemic stroke. Here we pursue an a priori hypothesis that genetic variation in the endothelial-based receptors of the thrombomodulin-protein C system (THBD and PROCR) may similarly be associated with early-onset ischemic stroke. We explored this hypothesis utilizing a multistage design of discovery an
The EUROASPIRE surveys (EUROpean Action on Secondary Prevention through Intervention to Reduce Events) demonstrated that most European coronary patients fail to achieve lifestyle, risk factor and therapeutic targets. Here we report on the 2-year incidence of hard cardiovascular (CV) endpoints in the EUROASPIRE IV cohort. EUROASPIRE IV (2012–2013) was a large cross-sectional study undertaken at 78
True comorbidity is the independent occurrence of more than one disease in a patient. In a disease like systemic sclerosis (SSc) which involves almost all organs, it is problematic to define comorbidity. A good example is SSc and primary Sjögren's disease. Figures as high as 80% comorbidity have been published, but in the majority it may be caused by fibrosis and not inflammation and thus should b
Solen är den primära källan för jordens klimatsystem, som driver den atmosfäriska och oceana cirkulationen. Förutom att solens varierande instrålning påverkan jordens klimat, så bestämmer instrålningen även den atmosfäriska produktionen av kosmogena partiklar (t. ex. 10Be, 14C, 36Cl) som sedan lagras i diverse klimatarkiv på jorden. Förändringar i solinstrålningen över tid kan därför undersökas ocThe Sun is the primary source for Earth’s climate system. Its fluctuations in irradiance are also known to have an impact on climate. In addition, changes in solar activity modulate the atmospheric production rates of cosmogenic radionuclides (e.g. 10Be, 14C, 36Cl) that all eventually deposit to different environmental archives. The signal of the changing solar activity through time can thus be re
I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 198 svenska fågelarter för åren 1975–2016. Fåglarna har räknats vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan 1996) men täcker hela Sverige. Nattaktiva fåglar har räknats sedan 2010. Utöver detta rWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2016 include data from: 565 winter point counts in 2015/2016 (41st winter), of which 281 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 249 summer point count routes (42nd year) an

Heritage has always been an important vehicle through which the past has been mobilized in the present in the nameof specifc cultural identities and communities. Or more specically, as Barbro Klein taught us, “heritage is phenomena in a group’s past that are given high symbolic value and therefore, must be protected for the future” (Klein 2000:25). In what ways have contemporary political processe
Begreppet plattformar har under de senaste åren seglat upp som ett av de mest centrala begreppen i den digitala ekonomin. Digitala plattformar möjliggör mängder av nya, effektiva sätt att organisera samhället – med långtgående konsekvenser för en rad centrala samhällsfunktioner. Detta ställer en rad frågor om medbestämmande och reglering, om innovationens förutsättningar och hur en plattformsmedve
The aim of this work was to investigate how mixtures of starch granules of different size and shape from different botanic sources affect starch-stabilized Pickering emulsions, and to understand which type of granules that dominate at the interface of the emulsion droplets. Pickering emulsions were prepared by combining quinoa starch with waxy maize or oat starch. The effects of the individual sta
This chapter describes particle-stabilized emulsions, the so-called Pickering emulsions. The principles behind particle stabilization of emulsions are described. The key properties of particle-stabilized emulsions such as stability, rheology, and the influences of other ingredients on the system, as well as some additional functional properties imparted by the stabilized particles in food emulsion
In this chapter, we describe some of the main concerns when it comes to formulating emulsions. This includes the choice of ingredients, such as emulsifiers, oils, preservatives, and thickeners. This is done with a focus on how these ingredients can give the desired properties of the emulsions, such as texture, flavor, nutrition, and stability. Commonly encountered thickeners and emulsifiers are de
A flow cell was designed for continuous non-invasive measurements of macromolecular adsorption and removal under well-defined flow conditions. The adsorption of the protein β-lactoglobulin to stainless steel surfaces and its subsequent detergent-induced removal were followed in the flow cell using in situ ellipsometry under both laminar and turbulent conditions. Factors varied include the cleaning
The adsorption from pure protein solutions and binary mixtures of proteins with opposite net charges was studied at pH 7 by in situ ellipsometry. The investigated proteins were β-lactoglobulin, lactoferrin, and lysozyme. On hydrophilic silica surfaces, β-lactoglobulin (negatively net charged) adsorbed in small amounts while lactoferrin and lysozyme (both positively net charged) adsorbed in higher
