Recension av Pierre Nora (ed.), Realms of Memory I-III.

We present a qualitative physical model of the origin of two very brightUV lines of Fe II at 2507-2509 Å, present in high-resolutionspectra of gaseous condensations (blobs) close to the central star ofeta Carinae. The spectra have been obtained with the Hubble SpaceTelescope (HST). The model is based on a type of Bowen mechanism withselective photoexcitation of Fe II by a broad HLyalpha profile,ge

Continuous supermacroporous chromatographic columns with anion-exchange ligands [2-(dimethylanlino)ethyl group] and immobilized metal affinity (IMA) ligands (Cu2+-loaded iminodiacetic acid) have been developed allowing binding of Escherichia coli cells and the elution of bound cells with high recoveries. These poly(acrylamide)-based continuous supermacroporous columns have been produced by radical

Adolescents reporting selling sex for payment were studied with respect to socioeconomic background, perceived mental health and health behavior, antisocial behavior, sexual experiences, including sexual abuse and abusive behaviors, and the use of pornography. The sample consisted of a representative sample of 4,339 students (response rate, 77.2%) from the third year of upper secondary schools in

While many mutations thought to result in protein S (PS) deficiency are known. there have been few attempts to relate genotype expression with plasma phenotype. We have investigated the nature and consequence of PS gene (PROS 1) mutations in 17 PS-deficient families who presented with mixed type I and type III phenotypes. Seven different mutations were found in nine families: delG-34 (STOP codon a

Popular Abstract in Swedish ?Överbrygga det kommunikativa gapet mellan personer med en demenssjukdom och deras vårdare. Ett omvårdnadsperspektiv? En problematik i omvårdnaden av personer med långt framskriden demenssjukdom är hur vårdare skall tolka och förstå den demensdrabbade så att omvårdnaden kan anpassas till dennes behov. Forskning tyder på att vissa reaktioner, bland annat aggressiva handThe aim was to explore possible areas and sources that could inform the care for people with dementia. These were the people with dementia themselves, nurses reflective discussions about caring, nurse-patient interaction together with information from close family members, and the previous personality and sense of coherence of people with dementia in relation to behaviour during the disease as rel

Scenarios of changes in biodiversity for the year 2100 can now be developed based on scenarios of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate, vegetation, and Land use and the known sensitivity of biodiversity to these changes. This study identified a ranking of the importance of drivers of change, a ranking of the biomes with respect to expected changes, and the major sources of uncertainties.

Alkaline sphingomyelinase (alk-SMase) is a new member of the NPP (nucleotide pyrophophatase/phosphodiesterase) family that hydrolyses SM (sphingomyelin) to generate ceramide ill the intestinal tract. The enzyme may protect the intestinal mucosa front inflammation and tumorigenesis. PAF (platelet-activating factor) is a pro-inflammatory phospholipid involved in pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel di

Develops a framework for manufacturing flexibility which illustrates how to obtain consistency from manufacturing strategy to the resource characteristics in the production system. Provides guidance on how to analyse and develop manufacturing flexibility in a corporate decision-making context. Uses the well-known input-transformation-output (ITO) model as a starting point for building the frame-wo

The aim was to compare urinary symptoms and their influence on daily life among elderly (75+) women and men in a sample that previously had reported difficulties controlling urine (urine incontinence (UI)) and/or other urinary symptoms (OU). A further aim was to find underlying structures of urinary symptoms and to identify symptoms that had an impact on seeking medical help and need of help in da

The spectroscopic properties of a molecule is strongly dependent on interactions with the surrounding environment. We have used time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and a multilevel perturbation model to study the transition energies, polarizability, and dipole moments of a bacteriochlorophyll in an electric field. The perturbation Hamiltonian was constructed as to give an electric fie

Thirty-five strains of Pasteurella multocida from humans and animals were tested for susceptibility to five cephalosporins by a broth dilution method. Cefcanel showed high activity against all isolates (MIC and MBC, less than or equal to 0.64 micrograms/ml). The corresponding figure for cefaclor and cefuroxime was 2.56 micrograms/ml. Cefadroxil and cephalexin were the least active compounds tested

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING För varje person som har problem med alkohol berör's i genomsnitt minst ytterligare en person. Under de senaste två decennierna har medvetenheten och kunskapen om de anhöriga's situation och hur de känslomässigt kan påverka's av ett långvarigt alkoholproblem ökat. Den stres's alkoholproblemet skapar påverkar den anhörige's samspel mRandomized studies of various support programs for spouses and children of alcoholics are few in the international literature. This thesis comprises two randomized controlled studies of intervention programs for two family groups: spouses living with an alcoholics partner (paper I and II) and university students who have grown up with at least one parents with alcohol problems (paper III and IV).

PURPOSE: This study assessed whether there is a dilating diathesis in peripheral arteries of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). METHODS: The anteroposterior diameters of the common femoral artery (CFA) and popliteal artery (PA) were measured in 183 consecutive patients with an AAA (158 men, 25 women; age range, 57-78 years) before elective surgery on the AAA and compared with that of

This paper describes a method for online supervision of control loops that automatically detects oscillations in the loops. The paper describes the method, its implementation in a Honeywell TDC3000 system, and experiences obtained from its use in the mill AssiDomän Frövi.

The quality of the waste sampling procedure and chemical analysis was evaluated in a research program on characterization of organic waste obtained after disc screening of source-separated organic household waste. The sampling procedures focused on a truckload of waste and involved several steps of subsampling including shredding, mixing, blending, high-speed-blending, drying and milling prior to
