We present morphological and molecular evidence of the occurrence of hybrids between great reed warblers Acrocephalus arundinaceus and clamorous reed warblers A. stentoreus in Kazakhstan where both species breed. Three males and one female of 249 examined individuals had wing characteristics that were intermediate between the parental species. Molecular analyses of a nuclear microsatellite locus a

As part of the development of the teaching of literature in school, it is also important to reflect upon what pupils read outside school. This thesis deals with the spare time reading of twenty 15-16-year-old girls which has been examined during a two-year period. Empirical material related to young girls’ reading is examined in a variety of scholarly methods. Young girls’ reading is studied in th

Background. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are important causes of morbidity and death. The present study investigated whether genetic factors influence susceptibility to acute pyelonephritis (APN). CXCR1 expression was investigated as a factor predisposing to APN, because low CXCR1 expression has been associated with disease susceptibility in mice and disease-prone children. Methods. The familie

The problem of identifying jets at CERN LEP and DESY HERA is studied. Identification using jet energies and fragmentation properties is treated separately in order to investigate the degree of quark-gluon separation that can be achieved by either of these approaches. In the case of the fragmentation-based identification, a neural network is used, and a test of the dependence on the jet production

The brainstem origin of preganglionic fibers to the sphenopalatine ganglion in rat was revealed by the aid of the retrograde axonal tracer True Blue (which does not traverse to a second order neuron) applied deep in the sphenopalatine ganglion or the Vidian nerve on one side. The majority of fibers originate in the ipsilateral lacrimo-muconasal nucleus in the ventrolateral rostral medulla oblongat

The aim of this study is to discuss the production, use, and interpretation of a group of decorative interior textiles during the period 1750–1950 belonging to the County Museum in Halmstad. Questions guiding the investigation are: How did production take place? How were the textiles used in different times and places? How have the textiles been interpreted and what effects have different interpre

Different studies on the stability of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in frozen serum or plasma have yielded conflicting results, namely increase, decrease, or no change at all during prolonged storage under freezing conditions. As part of a major trial on lipid-lowering strategies we statistically demonstrated a time-related decrease in HDL cholesterol during storage up to 46 months at

Multinuclear pulsed field gradient NMR measurements and theological viscosity measurements were performed on three series of polymer gel electrolytes. The gels were based on a lithium salt electrolyte swollen into a copolymer matrix comprising an acrylate backbone and ethylene oxide side chains. In each series the side chains differed in length and number, but the acrylate-to-ethylene oxide ratio

Denna avhandling tar upp frågan om det epistolografiska formuläret, genrefrågan, den retoriska dispositionen i Galaterbrevet samt sammanfattar på ett bra sätt resultaten. Bokens titel antyder redan huvudresultatet av undersökningen, nämligen att själva den yttre formen har större betydelse för budskapet än man vanligtvis tillmäter denna. Och här är det alltså fråga om den epistolografiska som man This dissertation handles the question of the rhetorical formula, the genre and the rhetorical disposition of Galatians. There is also an excellent summary with further perspectives. The title of the book already gives a glimpse of the main result, namely that the form has more bearing on the message than usually acknowledged. Here it is the question of the epistolographical form which often is tr

Water extracts of the bark of Uncaria tomentosa, a vine indigenous to South America, has been used for generations as an "immuno modulator". To understand the basis of this immuno modulatory effect we fed mice in their drinking water with C-Med 100, which is a commercially available water extract from Uncaria tomentosa. We found a dose-dependent increase in spleen cell numbers in the supplemented
