Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Ischemisk hjärtsjukdom (IHS) och slaganfall är de främsta orsakerna till morbiditet och mortalitet i västvärlden och är ett stort hälsoproblem för samhället. Kardiovaskulära läkemedel används med syfte att förebygga (t. ex. blodtryckssänkande läkemedel och lipidsänkande läkemedel) eller lindra (t. ex. nitrater) dessa sjukdomar. Den optimala effektiviteten ("efBackground: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in developed countries and hence constitute a large public health problem. Cardiovascular drugs are used in an effort to prevent (e. g. blood pressure lowering drugs (BPLD) and lipid lowering drugs) and palliate (e. g. nitrates) these disorders. The efficacy and safety of these drugs have been evalu

This anthology comprises thirteen chapters exploring and explaining informatics at Lund University. The book represents several perspectives and views on the subject of informatics held by researchers at the Informatics Department, and also how the subject has evolved and developed over the years.The central theme is that the design of information systems links social and organisational perspectiv

This paper provides an extensive analysis of the demand for alcohol in terms of total quantity and quantity subdivided into frequency and intensity demand. The analysis compares across alcohol types (beer, wine and spirits), alcohol drinking pattern (average drinker vs. binge drinkers) and also how these decisions differ across gender. The analysis is based on a large sample of cross-sectional dat

Som underlag för ett internationellt forskningssamarbete kring Paracaskulturen har Statens Museer för Världskultur givit mig i uppdrag att sammanställa en samlingshistorisk utredning av de svenska Paracassamlingarna. Utredningen skall sätta de samlingar som staden Göteborg äger (och som myndigheten förvaltar) samt statens egna samlingar i en historisk kontext och i förhållande till andra motsvaran

Aldrig tidigare har det svenska folket konsumerat så mycket film som just nu, i 2000-talets begynnelse, antingen det är på biograferna, på video, DVD eller TV. Detta har fått till följd att den svenska filmproduktionen skjutit ordentlig fart, om än under andra former än tidigare. Antologin Solskenslandet ger en aspektrik bild av det svenska filmskapandets (och filmrecenserandets!) dynamiska nu. H

This is an account of the Stockholm Film Workshop, founded in 1973 by the Swedish broadcasting corporation SR and the Swedish Film Institute. The workshop was open for amateurs and semi-professionals who wanted help, directing and producing filmic shorts in several genres. The workshop was closed down in 2000. The study puts the workshop in the context of cultural policy and cultural democracy, bu

An atomic force microscope was used to directly examine the physical state of nanometer-sized particles. The critical diameter of indium particles, where evidence of melting at room temperature was observed, was 7.8±1.2 nm. This conclusion is based on a method relying on the manipulation of particles in ambient air and at constant temperature. This method involves a simple set up that permits a co

From its inception, “animal magnetism” and hypnosis have been related to reputed psi phenomena. However, only until recently have phenomenological and neurophysiological approaches advanced enough to go beyond a putative –and vague- hypnotic state. In this study we are following a neurophenomenological approach by analyzing in parallel experience and brain processes. We selected a group of individ

Methods to achieve admittance matching of rectangular dielectric resonator antennas intended for 60~GHz impulse radio are reported. The motivation is to find a suitable antenna that may be integrated in the V-band gated tunnel diode wavelet generator, replacing its tank circuit and forming a low complexity transmitter. Probed one- and two-port scattering parameter measurements have been performed
