A collection of papers from the celebration of professor emeritus Erik Cinthio's 90th birthday in february 2011. Cinthio established the subject medieval archaeology and four articles concerns his main fields of interest - the subject of medieval archaeology, now transformed to historical archaeology, church archaeology, urban archaeology and agrarian archaeology. The book also includes an introdu
This thesis deals with signatures in sediments on Earth related to the L-chondrite parent body break-up event at 470 Ma. The aim of this thesis is twofold: (1) investigate if the increased flux of extraterrestrial material to Earth, following the disruption of the L-chondrite parent body included larger, asteroid-sized bodies (2) try to develop new methods and tools for finding and classifying rel
nnominate artery and left carotid artery cannulation for antegrade brain perfusion allows accurate bilateral pressure-controlled brain perfusion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of adverse neurological events and 90-day mortality in 40 consecutive patients undergoing elective aortic arch repair using this technique. Forty consecutive patients underwent elective aortic arch repa
In this study, we used proton-localized spectroscopy ((1) H-MRS) for the acquisition of the neurochemical profile longitudinally in a novel rat model of human wild type alpha-synuclein (a-syn) overexpression. Our goal was to find out if the increased a-syn load in this model could be linked to changes in metabolites in the frontal cortex. Animals injected with AAV vectors encoding for human a-syn
This thesis is an exploratory, descriptive and comparative study of teachers’ focus and teaching methods in Spanish as a third language (L3) in Sweden. The curriculum of Modern Languages emphasizes communicative competence and the purpose of the study is to examine how this is applied in the teaching of the course Spanish 4 and how the students progress during the course. Five teachers at four Sen
The prospects for patients suffering from systemic small vessel vasculitis have improved substantially in recent decades. The introduction of cyclophosphamide in the 1970s led to a dramatic improvement in survival rates. The discovery of ANCA meant a substantial increase in the number of detected cases, especially among elderly patients, as well as detection at an earlier stage of disease. At the
Let $\scr H$ denote a Hilbert space consisting of functions analytic on a bounded, open, connected subset $\Omega$ of the complex plane. Given certain natural hypotheses on $\scr H$, the author characterizes the finite-codimensional subspaces of $\scr H$ that are invariant under multiplication by $z$, showing that all such subspaces have the form $(p\scr H)^-$, where $p$ is a polynomial whose zero
The penetration of mobile phones in Chinese daily life has made collective actions easier to organize and challenged government censorship. Highlighting this new form of communication, the following essay shows how the traditional mass media’s role as gatekeeper is waning.

Microseminoprotein-beta (MSMB, MSMB) is an abundant secretory protein contributed by the prostate, and is implicated as a prostate cancer (PC) biomarker based on observations of its lower expression in cancerous cells compared with benign prostate epithelium. However, as the current literature on MSMB is inconsistent, we assessed the expression of MSMB at the protein and mRNA levels in a comprehen
Right ventricular volumes and ejection fraction are challenging to assess by echocardiography, but are well established as functional and prognostic parameters. Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has become widespread and relatively easy to use, making calculation of these parameters feasible in the large majority of patients. We review past attempts to estimate right ventricular volumes, cur
BACKGROUND: Topical negative pressure (TNP) therapy is increasingly used in open abdomen management. It is not known to what extent this pressure propagates through the dressing to the bowel surface, potentially increasing the risk of bowel fistula formation. The present study in a porcine model was designed to evaluate pressure propagation. METHODS: A commercially available TNP therapy system (AB
Abstract An N-Heptane mechanism and a Methane/Propane mechanism have been reduced by an Automatic Reduction Tool (ART) and simulated with two different solver combinations, which solve the set of ordinary differential equations governing the time evolution of the species simultaneously with solving algebraic equations for species that can be considered to be in quasi steady state. The most succes
