Beta blockers reduce left ventricular mass less than other antihypertensive drugs: a systematic review and meta analysis
Transport through (Ga, Mn) As nanoislands: Coulomb blockade and temperature dependence of the conductance
We report on magnetotransport measurements of nanoconstricted (Ga, Mn) As devices showing very large resistance changes that can be controlled by both an electric and a magnetic field. Based on the bias voltage and temperature-dependent measurements down to the millikelvin range we compare the models currently used to describe transport through (Ga, Mn) As nanoconstrictions. We provide an explanat
Converging structures? Recent regulatory change in bus-based local public transport in Sweden and England
This paper compares the regulatory structures that have developed in local bus regulation over the past 20 years in local public transport in Sweden and England outside London, and their impacts. The paper will attempt to assess how far there are similarities in these structures and whether there is evidence of any form of convergence. It does so with a review of the relevant legislation and struc
Transforming meadows into free surface water wetlands: Impact of increased nitrate and carbon loading on greenhouse gas production
In a laboratory study we investigated 1) the potential production of nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2) the effect of nitrate (NO3−) and anaerobic N2O development on CH4 production in sediment from a recently recreated free surface water wetland (FSWW) and in soil from an adjacent meadow. We designed an experiment where production of greenhouse gases was registered
Cancer risk in amyloidosis patients in Sweden with novel findings on non-Hodgkin lymphoma and skin cancer
Background: Systemic amyloidosis (SSA) is a common form of amyloidosis but it remains often unnoticed because of the slow progression in old patients. The cause for SSA is the accumulation of wild-type transthyretin amyloids in critical tissues. We provide here data showing that SSA may be associated with old-age non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Systemic amyloidoses include immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amy
A Legitimate or an Ilegitimate problem? : How School Nurses Establish a Logic of Distinctions among Children who are Overeweight or Suffer from Obesity
Overweight and obesity among children has gained increased attention as one of the most unequally distributed health problems. This article draws on interviews with school nurses, who in their daily work handle this problem. Their responses articulate a discrepancy between the general view on overweight and obesity as a “disaster” for the afflicted children and the practice of turning "a blind eye
Law and Spatial Planning. Socio-legal Perspectives on the Development of Wind Power and 3G Mobile Infrastructures in Sweden
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna sammanläggningsavhandling i fysisk planering visar hur viktig rättens och juridikens roll är för planeringen och styrning av landskap och miljö, och de fall som studerats och analyserats är den svenska utbyggnaden av 3G-infrastruktur och vindkraften. Utifrån ett rättssociologiskt planeringsperspektiv visar Stefan Larsson (som också disputerat i rättssociologi tidiThis PhD thesis in Spatial Planning argues for the importance of understanding the approaches to knowledge and rationalities embedded in spatially relevant decision-making. It emphasises the significance of seeing law as an empirical object of study for planning and environmental management. The Swedish development of wind power and 3G mobile infrastructures are used as cases to study these issues
Sensitivity of peatland carbon loss to organic matter quality
Peatland soils store substantial amounts of organic matter (OM). During peat formation, easily decomposable OM is preferentially lost and more recalcitrant moieties accumulate. In a peat profile, OM quality thus scales with depth. Drainage and ongoing climate change poses the risk of rapid OM loss when formerly anoxic peat layers oxidize. During peat decomposition, deeper, more recalcitrant peat i
Ideologi och musik i Läroplan för grundskolan, förskoleklassen och fritidshemmet 2011
In this chapter, the author analyses a new Swedish curriculum for schools that was presented in 2011 and came into effect the same year. Basically the focus in the subject of music is on playing music, creating music, and listening to music. But key citations within the subject of music show a return to some ideas from the beginning of the 20th century regarding nationalism, a Nordic ethnocentric
Cardiovascular disease in relation to diabetes status in immigrants from the Middle East compared to native Swedes: a cross-sectional study.
Type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent in immigrants to Sweden from Iraq, but the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its risk factors are not known. In this survey we aimed to compare the prevalence of CVD and CVD-associated risk factors between a population born in Iraq and individuals born in Sweden.

Impact of prolonged rainy seasons on food crop production in Cameroon
This study set out to examine why agricultural production in differing agro-ecological zones of the same country responds differently to a common environmental event (an extension of the rainy season). We find that the heavy reliance of farmers in the drier agro-ecological zones on seasonal cycles make them more vulnerable to an extension of the rainy season than those in regions where rainfall is
Pre-treatments for enhanced biochemical methane potential of bamboo waste
Various pre-treatments (acid, alkaline, enzyme and alkaline aided enzyme also termed combined) were evaluated on different fractions of bamboo waste from a chopstick production factory. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) solubilisation, monomeric/dimeric sugar yield, methane yield enhancement and methane production rate were assessed. The biochemical methane potential was determined in batch assays unde
MST With Conduct Disordered Youth in Sweden: Costs and Benefits After 2 Years
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the costs and benefits associated with multisystemic therapy (MST) for conduct disordered youth, 2 years following intake. Methods: The study employed a secondary analysis of 156 youth enrolled in a randomized trial assessing the psychosocial and behavioral outcomes of MST. Results: MST cost on average 105,400 SEK per youth. MST was associat
Så fick bolsjevikerna antisemitisk dräkt

Large-scale pollination experiment demonstrates the importance of insect pollination in winter oilseed rape.
Insect pollination, despite its potential to contribute substantially to crop production, is not an integrated part of agronomic planning. A major reason for this are knowledge gaps in the contribution of pollinators to yield, which partly result from difficulties in determining area-based estimates of yield effects from insect pollination under field conditions. We have experimentally manipulated

New μs Isomers in the Neutron-rich 210Hg Nucleus
Neutron-rich nuclei in the lead region, beyond N = 126, have been studied at the FRS-RISING setup at GSI, exploiting the fragmentation of a primary uranium beam. Two isomeric states have been identified in Hg-210: the 8(+) isomer expected from the seniority scheme in the vg(9/2) shell and a second one at low spin and low excitation energy. The decay strength of the 8(+) isomer confirms the need of
