Abstract in UndeterminedRelevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and pollen productivity for 11 key taxa characteristic of the pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains, Switzerland, were estimated using pollen assemblages from moss polsters at 20 sites. To obtain robust pollen productivity estimates (PPEs), we used vegetation survey data at a fine spatial-resolution (1 x 1 m(2)) and randomize
Background Today, dislocated femoral neck fractures are commonly treated with a cemented hip arthroplasty. However, cementing of the femoral component may lead to adverse effects and even death. Uncemented stems may lower these risks and hydroxyapatite (HA) coating may enhance integration, but prosthetic stability and clinical outcome in patients with osteoporotic bone have not been fully explored
Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt fler människor drabbas av cancer, som idag är den ledande dödsorsaken globalt. De vanligaste cancerformerna i världen är lungcancer, bröstcancer och tjocktarmscancer och det är störst risk att dö i lungcancer, levercancer och magcancer. Även i Sverige ökar antalet cancerfall, till stor del på grund av att vi lever allt längre och cancer är idag en av våra stora folCancer incidence is increasing and it is the number one cause of death worldwide. Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease and there is a great need for new early diagnostic, prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers in order to improve patient outcomes. The RNA-binding motif protein 3, RBM3, is an emerging candidate biomarker of favourable prognosis and treatment response in several types of
As with mosquitoes, female tabanid flies search for mammalian hosts by visual and olfactory cues, because they require a blood meal before being able to produce and lay eggs. Polarotactic tabanid flies find striped or spotted patterns with intensity and/or polarisation modulation visually less attractive than homogeneous white, brown or black targets. Thus, this reduced optical attractiveness to t
Artskyddsförordningen kan föranleda en inskränkning av en skogsägares rådighet över sin skogsbruksfastighet. Rådighetsinskränkningen utgör ett ingrepp i en skogsägares äganderätt, vilket kan berättiga intrångsersättning. För att intrångsersättning ska erläggas krävs dels ett stadgande som berättigar intrångsersättning, dels att pågående markanvändning inom berör del av fastigheten avsevärt försvårForest owners' right of disposition over their forestry property units might be limited by restriction under the Species Protection Ordinance. The restriction of use constitutes a potential violation of the right to property. A forest owner may be entitled to compensation if there is a correlated regulation that justifies compensation and if the restriction of use causes a significant difficul
Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskor arbetar i en högteknologisk miljö med mycket engångsmaterial av plast. Anestesislangar som används är av plast och ofta avsedda för engångsbruk. Enligt ICN:s etiska kod ska alla sjuksköterskor arbeta för FN:s globala mål för hållbar utveckling, att minska plastanvändningen är en central fråga. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka anestesisjuksköterskans uppfat
A study combining information from infrared spectroscopy and adsorption experiments was carried out to investigate phthalate, trimellitate, and pyromellitate complexes at the goethite (alpha-FeOOH)/water interface. Infrared spectra showed evidence for inner-sphere complexes below pH 6 and outer-sphere complexes in the pH range 3 to 9. Normalized infrared peak areas were used as a semi-quantitative
Non-marine Late Cretaceous sediments from the Vilui Basin, Siberia, yield a diverse palynoflora of over 180 taxa, a third of which had a circum-polar distribution. The Vilui palynoflora belongs generally to the northerly Aquilapollenites Province admixed with minute Normapolles types, and comprises about 36-70% angiosperm pollen forms, indicating a late Campanian/early Maastrichtian age. Using a c
Results of three searches are presented for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with missing transverse momentum and exactly two isolated leptons, e or mu. The analysis uses a data sample collected during the first half of 2011 that corresponds to a total integrated luminosity of 1 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions recorded with the ATLAS detector
This work presents a new inclusive search for supersymmetry (SUSY) by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV in final states with jets, missing transverse momentum and one or more isolated electrons and/or muons. The search is based on data from the full 2011 data-taking period, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1).
Artiklarna i denna antologi belyser hur nutida forskningsrön och vetenskaplig diskussion om frågor som kaos och komplexitet, förutsägbarhet och kausalitet, emergens och ordning påverkar traditionella religiösa och vetenskapliga tankar om oförutsägbarhet, slump, ändamål och skapelse. Teologer och naturvetare från sekulär, protestantisk, katolsk och ortodox tradition visar hur ordning och oordning h
The adverse effects from reactions of reactive aggregates in concrete dams are well known worldwide. The mechanisms ruling alkali silica reactions (ASR) are partly but not fully understood. A majority of the Swedish concrete dams are so far considered to be protected from ASR due to the common use during the 50:s, 60:s and 70:s of the Swedish low alkali cement Limhamn LH. Today there is a discussi
Abstract in Danish Denne afhandling handler om livskvalitet hos ældre mennesker med kræft. Risikoen for at få kræft stiger med alderen, og til trods for at de fleste mennesker, der får kræft er ældre, har forskning i hvordan ældre lever med en kræftsygdom været yderst begrænset. Viden om hvordan ældre mennesker oplever det at få en kræftdiagnose og hvordan de lever med sygdommen er en forudsætningOver the coming decades, the numbers of elderly will increase, and through improved lifestyles and better treatment longevity has increased, and with it, the risk of contracting cancer. How elderly people live with cancer has until now attracted limited research. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the QoL of elderly persons from the time of a cancer diagnosis through the following s
Treatment with alkali, particularly overliming, has been widely used as a method for the detoxification of lignocellulose hydrolysates prior to ethanolic fermentation. However, the mechanisms behind the detoxification effect and the influence of the choice of cation have not been well understood. In this study, a dilute acid hydrolysate of spruce and an inhibitor cocktail consisting of six known i
