Relationships between subjective perception of indoor air quality, building characteristics, indoor exposures, and personal factors were studied in 225 female Swedish hospital workers. The prevalence of weekly complaints to do with dry air was 87% for air dryness, and 36% for static electricity. Such com plaints were more common in new and well ventilated buildings. The sensa tion of air dryness w

Female religious communities, and later also convents, accompanied the return of the Catholic Church to the Nordic countries in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är den tredje vanligaste dödsorsaken och den vanligaste orsaken till neurologiskt handikapp. Idag är möjligheten att motverka skadeutvecklingen vid stroke begränsad. Experimentella modeller för stroke innebär att vi kan studera mekanismer för nervcellsskada vid patologiskt sänkta blodflödesnivåer (ischemi). I våra studier har mellersta hjärnartären på ena sidan tStroke caused by focal cerebral ischemia is a major cause of death and neurological disability in humans. The forebrain region most commonly affected by ischemic incidents is that supplied by the middle cerebral artery. In this thesis, neuronal cell death has been investigated using immunohistochemistry for identification of specific neurons and unbiased counting methods after transient occlusion

It is shown that under certain regularity conditions on the norm, the functions in a nontrivial invariant subspace of the backward shift operator have meromorphic pseudocontinuations in the Nevanlinna class of the exterior of the unit disk. In addition, we provide a regularity condition which implies that the subspace itself is contained in the Nevanlinna class of the disc.

Efter krigets och ångestens fyrtiotal vände sig den svenska litteraturen mot den ljusa romantiken, heter det i handböckerna. Paul Tenngarts studier av fem svenska författare med rötter i den legendariska Metamorfoskretsen - Paul Andersson, Lasse Söderberg, Svante Foerster, Petter Bergman och Birgitta Stenberg - ger en annan bild, där romantiken är samhällskritisk med udden riktad mot folkhemsbygge
