In cases of suspected scaphoid fracture where the initial radiographs are negative, a supplementary MRI, or alternatively CT, should be carried out within three to five days. Fracture classification, assessment of dislocation as well as evaluation of fracture healing is best done on CT with reconstructions in the coronal and sagittal planes, following the longitudinal axis of the scaphoid. After a

The acceleration of developing magnesium alloys for biomedicine requires the advancement of experimental methods evaluating their performance. We have been developing an advanced immersion testing method for the assessment of biomedical Mg alloy degradation in aqueous environments. It is based on the combination of isothermal calorimetry with pressure measurement in the reaction cell. Such a combi

I dagens samhälle med klimatförändringar och miljöproblem ses cykeln som ett allt viktigare transportmedel för att minska bilanvändning. Trafikverket konstaterade att ökad cykling medför stora vinster för samhället, inte minst för miljön. Således borde cykel prioriteras allt mer i planeringen, vilket inte alltid görs. Hur man planerar cykelinfrastruktur och vad som klassas som bra eller dålig cyke

Enterococcus faecalis cells are known to have ferric reductase activity and the ability to transfer electrons generated in metabolism to the external environment. We have isolated mutants defective in ferric reductase activity and studied their electron transfer properties to electrodes mediated by ferric ions and an osmium complex modified redox polymer (OsRP), respectively. Electron transfer med

Prospects to use III-V technology to increase the performance of key millimeter wave circuits are discussed. We use 60 GHz wavelet generators to form coherent pulses with controllable pulse lengths down to 25 ps under low-power operation. The transmitters are used to demonstrate transmission at high data rates and very low bit-error-rates with simple modulation schemes (OOK) in direct links over s

This is an interview based qualitative case study on two Women's Migrant Associations in Malmoe, which I interpret as being part of a women's movement, with characteristics of a new social movement. The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding on how the collective identity is being constructed, in this women's movement where the membership is not based on an exclusive ethnic

The aim of this master thesis is to study if the websites of the Swedish public libraries are accessible to all people. According to the library law all people must have access to the public libraries and their information services. Today, when the Internet is one of the largest sources of information, it is important that all people, including those with different kind of disabilities, children,

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibilities of minimising waste generation in the healthcare institutions in Kaliningrad, Russia. In order to meet this purpose the following research question is investigated: what kind of drivers are enforcing and which barriers are hindering waste minimization in the healthcare sector in Kaliningrad? The research carried out among public and priva

Denna uppsats behandlar den orangea revolutionen ur ett transitionsperspektiv och försöker teoriprövande utröna om denna revolution kan anses som en demokratisk transition i enlighet med transitionsterin. Uppsatsen är teoriprövande till sin karaktär och kontrasterar den politiska processen i Ukraina mellan den första omgången i presidentvalet den 31 oktober 2004 och den tredje omgången den 26 dec

The purpose of this paper was to study the various organisations that work with drug abusing homeless people in Lund. We have tried to compare the possibilities they have to change the way the homeless people look at themselves. The organisations that we have studied are Aluma, Diakonicentralen, the shelter Piletorp and the social welfare office. The methods used to collect data were interviews w

Studien bygger på en offerundersökning genomförd på två gymnasieskolor i Malmö under våren 2005. Sammanlagt svarade 243 ungdomar födda mellan år 1984-1989 på ett frågeformulär om utsatthet för brott. Syftet med studien var att deskriptivt beskriva utsattheten för brott för gymnasieungdomar i Malmö, främst under den senaste ettårsperioden. Studien ville dessutom belysa hur de unga brottsoffren ser

This thesis analyses the question of the right to compensation for victims of racial discrimination. The purpose is first of all to determine whether or not victims of racial discrimination have a right to compensation under international human rights law and to establish the content and limits of such a right. In order to achieve this purpose four specific questions are examined, namely: 1. Is th
