Popular Abstract in Swedish Ehrlichia hos människor och djur Fästingburna infektioner uppmärksammas alltmer både hos människor och djur. Fästingar har visat sig kunna överföra flera olika infektiösa agens som till exempel borrelia- och ehrlichiabakterier, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)-virus och babesia-parasiter. De i Skandinavien förekommande ehrlichia-bakterierna Ehrlichia phagocytophila, orsakEhrlichia phagocytophila is a tick-borne pathogen of domestic animals, which has recently been acknowledged also as a human pathogen. It is a strictly intracellular bacterium, infecting granulocytes of the host, sometimes resulting in clinical disease - granulocytic ehrlichiosis - with manifestations ranging from mild flu-like conditions to severe infections with multi-organ failure and death. Thi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetet i denna avhandling syftar till att förbättra etanolproduktionen från lignocellulosa. Etanol framställd från förnyelsebara råvaror har fått förnyad uppmärksamhet på grund av den växande medvetenheten om den globala uppvärmningen och farhågor för en trytande tillgång på olja. Lignocellulosa utgör en potentiell råmaterialkälla för framtida storskalig etanolproduktiThe work presented in this thesis has been aiming at improving ethanol production from lignocellulose. Ethanol from renewable resources is receiving renewed attention due to apprehensions of global warming and dwindling oil reserves. Lignocellulose constitutes a potential raw material source for large scale ethanol production. To produce ethanol from lignocellulose, the hemicellulose and cellulose

To predict the effects of environmental change and nature management on the distribution of plant species, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of plant niche differentiation and habitat specialization. The importance to habitat specialization of particular plant traits and requirement of the regenerative phase of the plants life has received scanty interest. Our experiments on seed germinat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Interaktionen mellan laddade polyjoner och motsatt laddade tensid joner har undersökts. Detta har gjorts genom att syntetisera det komplexa saltet (polyjon-tensid jon) och använda detta som utgångspunkt. Olika parametrar för det komplexa saltet har varierats systematiskt och effekten på struktur och vattenupptag har undersökts. Komplexa salt (CxTAPAy) bestående av alkylThe interaction between poylions and oppositely charged surfactant ions has been investigated. This has been done by using the pure complex salt (polyion + surfactant ion) as a point of departure. Different parameters of the complex salt have been varied in a systematic way and the effect on structure and water miscibility has been investigated. Complex salts (CxTAPAy) consisting of alkyl trimethy

Most couples therapy theories are developed and tested in the USA. In this clinical study, we investigated such therapies in a Swedish context. Over 300 couples were enrolled in the study of whom just under half completed the end-of-treatment assessment and just over 40 per cent a two-year follow-up. At the start, the study group displayed severe problems in marital adjustment, dyadic interactions

OBJECTIVE: To determine the natural history of adnexal cysts incidentally detected at transvaginal ultrasound examination and judged to be benign in postmenopausal women.METHODS: One hundred and thirty-four postmenopausal women referred for ultrasound examination and found to have an adnexal cyst judged to be benign and not causing any symptoms were followed with transvaginal ultrasound at 3, 6 an

The exclusive H-2 (He-3, t)2p reaction has been studied at 2 GeV for energy transfers up to 500 MeV and triton angles up to 3.4degrees. The protons were measured in the large acceptance magnetic detector DIOGENE, in coincidence with the forward tritons detected in a dedicated magnetic arm. The energy transfer spectra extend well above the pion threshold. However, in the region of Delta excitation,

Let M and N be simply connected space forms, and U an open and connected subset of M. Further let n: U-*N be a horizontally homothetic harmonic morphism. In this paper we show that if n has totally geodesic fibres and integrable horizontal distribution, then the horizontal foliation of U is totally umbilic and isoparametric. This leads to a classification of such maps. We also show that horizontal

Bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) have distinctive depth distributions and vertical movement patterns. They remain in the uniformed temperature surface layer at night and can descend to greater than 500 m depth at dawn. They thus mirror the vertical migrations of the small nektonic organisms of the deep sound scattering layer and extensively exploit these as a food resource. At their maximum depths, bi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta arbete handlar om utvecklingsneurobiologi. Ett långt ord men så beskriver det också precis vad det rör sig om: biologiska studier rörande nervsystemets utveckling. Generellt sett kan man säga att utvecklings-neurobiologisk forskning på lång sikt syftar till att förstå nervsystemets utveckling såpass väl att man skall kunna använda denna kunskap för att reparera etThe striatum is part of the telencephalon, the most anterior part of the vertebrate brain. From when it first can be identified, telencephalic morphology is highly complex and a wide range of mechanisms has been suggested to participate in its induction, patterning and neurogenesis. Sonic hedgehog (shh), a gene coding for a secreted protein has been suggested to be required for ventral telencephal

Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to present early outcome data for patients treated for penile cancer with organ-sparing reconstructive surgery at two referral centres in Sweden. Material and methods. Oncological, cosmetic and functional outcome and complications were analysed retrospectively during the period 2011-2013. Twelve patients with non-invasive penile cancer were treated wit

Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants influencing this trait have been identified. We conducted a meta-analysis of 32 genome-wide association studies for WHR adjusted for body mass index (comprising up to 77,167 participants), following up 16 loci in an addit

Ämnet för denna uppsats är näthat vilket kan innebära brott som förolämpning, förtal och ofredande. Men trots att ärekränkningslagstiftningen är vedertagen är den inte helt vattentät. Ärekränkning är ett gammalt hedersbrott som sedan lång tid tillbaka har reglerats i svensk straffrätt. I Sveriges strafflag från 1864 (SL) avsåg förtalsbestämmelsen att värna om den enskildes goda namn och medborgerlThe subject of this essay is net hate, which can implicate felonies such as insult, defamation and harassment. Even though the Swedish rules specific to defamatory acts are recognized, they are far from comprehensive. Defamation, an offence that violates someone’s honor, is an old crime in the Swedish history of law. In the Criminal Law (SL) from 1864 the rule of defamation was intended to protect

Ever since corporate social responsibility (CSR) became a prominent school of thought, this subject has constantly upgraded itself to keep pace with the fast-changing world. However, given that CSR is largely a market-driven, top-down response, it has entered into a bottleneck where downstream stakeholders are out of the picture. Speaking of improving labour standards via CSR, when business and no

A cDNA coding for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) α1-microglobulin (Leaver et al., 1994, Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 108B, 275-281) was expressed and purified from baculovirus-infected insect cells. Specific monoclonal antibodies were then prepared and used to isolate the protein from plaice liver and serum. Mature 28.5 kDa α1-microglobulin was found in both liver and serum. The protein consisted of an
