Objective. Most methods for measurements of the regional cerebral blood flow are unable to provide absolute blood flow values. Until now interest has been focused on measurement of the gray matter blood flow, while the white matter blood flow has been rather neglected. The aim of the present project was to develop and evaluate an improved method for reliable tomographic measurements of absolute wh

The research area of packaging logistics naturally comprises the product, its package and packing operations, the physical distribution system and the information systems involved throughout the whole logistical value chain, including the end user. This paper focuses on the effects of the sales channel of the Internet on the research discipline of packaging logistics and aims at identifying method

The aim of the article is to highlight how the writer Mihail Sebastian created the evasion in an imaginary realm in the first novel he wrote. The novelist was interested in different ways to dissimulate the belonging to the realness. He aimed at eluding the guide marks of reality through the devise of parallel worlds whose characteristics are accessible and meaningful only to heroes initiated in t

Via rättspraxis tar sig EU-domstolen in på områden där den inte hör hemma. Sverige måste intervenera kraftfullt och inse att rötan bara blir värre ju längre man väntar, anser jur dr Lars Pelin och fil dr Mikael Sundström vid Lunds universitet.

An RH method was proposed in the late 1970s to replace the traditional CM-method in Sweden and from 1984 the RH-method is the dominating method to measure moisture in concrete floors before applying a moisture sensitive floor covering. The required total uncertainty must be smaller than 2-3 % RH depending on the method used. The paper describes the historical development of RH measurements in conc

An early age at first full-term birth is associated with a reduction in the subsequent development of breast cancer among women in the general population. A similar effect has not yet been reported among women who carry an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. We conducted a matched case–control study on 1816 pairs of women with a BRCA1 (n = 1405) or BRCA2 (n = 411) mutation in an attempt to elucidat

Purpose of this paper This paper aims to contribute to the logistics complexity discourse driven at the NOFOMA conference with a novel perspective on complication vs. complexity in studying and managing logistics and supply chains. Design/methodology/approach Research approach is based on description, exploration and analysis of root causes and origins of supply chain complication and complexity.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been shown to promote the survival of cultured fetal mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons of rat and human origin. In the present study, BDNF was tested for its ability to influence neuronal structure of dopaminergic neurons in dissociated cultures of human fetal ventral mesencephalon after 7 days in vitro. Following immunocytochemical staining for tyrosi

Modern office buildings have high energy savings potential and potential for indoor climate improvements. During the nineties many office buildings with glass facades were built, in several cases with double skin glass facades. The advantages of buildings with double skin facades (compared with single skin glazed ones) are considered to be the reduced heating and cooling demand, the increased soun
