Artikeln ger en översikt av den svenska receptionen av Charlotte Brontës Jane Eyre (1847) och hur romanen har översatts till svenska från den första (indirekta) översättningen 1850 fram till vår tid. Förlagshistoriska, såväl som översättningsanalytiska och receptionskritiska aspekter beaktas.

Tumour deposit count is an independent prognostic factor in colorectal cancer—a population-based cohort study

Tumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer. However, the current TNM staging system does not account for the presence of tumour deposits in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer, or for the presence of multiple deposits. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic effect of tumour deposit count in patients with coBackgroundTumour deposits are a prognostic factor for overall survival and distant metastasis in lymph node-negative colorectal cancer.

A Finance Model for the Built Cultural Heritage - Proposals for improvements of future Heritage Economics

Abstract The new role of built cultural heritage, as an economic asset for development strategies and the widened definition of built heritage as a concept-, explains today’s affluence of sites. These can only be guaranteed with sufficient heritage funding. Financers’ inducement to fund cultural heritage depends on that heritage’s current value estimation and only highly revered sites qualify fo

Dialogues on the Net - Power structures in asynchronous discussions in the context of a web based teacher training course

The general aim of this thesis is to investigate the interaction processes that occur in group dialogues when teacher students work in small groups, using net based asynchronous dialogues to solve a problem in the area of environmental sustainability. More specifically, the interest is to determine whether students’ net based dialogues give rise to patterns of dominance/subordination similar to th

Towards improved management of Lynch syndrome; ovarian cancer profiles, risk perception, knowledge and family perspectives

Lynch syndrome (hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer) is one of the most common hereditary cancer syndromes and predisposes to several cancer types, including cancer of the colorectum, endometrium and ovaries. Cancer develops at an early age and one third of the individuals are affected by a metachronous cancer. Recognition of families with Lynch syndrome is important since this allows inclus

Psychosomatic aspects on diabetes and chronic pain Alexithymia, depression and salivary cortisol The Affect School and Script Analysis Therapy

This thesis explores links between psyche and soma in diabetes and in chronic benign pain (CBP). Interventions with Affect School and Script Analysis (ASSA) compared to Basic Body Awareness Therapy (BBAT) are tried. In a feasibility and treatment efficacy study we offered ASSA to 59 patients with CBP, and 54 (92%) completed. Alexithymia prevalence went from 33% to 11% (p = 0.013), depression from

The clinical relevance of vertebral fractures and low back pain in elderly men

The number of vertebral fractures has increased during the last few decades.The increase could at least partly be explained by the increasing proportion of elderly in society since these fractures are more commonly found in elderly than in young individuals. Low bone mass and osteoporosis which are also partly related to aging are risk factors for fracture but both age and low bone mass are indepe

Meniscal Tear - A Feature of Osteoarthritis

Meniscectomy is recognized as an important risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA), a disease that traditionally has been considered as a simple "wear and tear" phenomenon. However, despite numerous reports, little evidence has been presented that a limited meniscal resection, compared with a more extensive resection, reduces the risk of OA by preserving meniscal function. Why?

Helicobacter pylori and its Association with Gastric and Oesophageal Carcinomas

Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common infections in man. The infection is often acquired during childhood and usually results in a chronic life-long inflammation in the gastric mucosa. The aim of our studies was to investigate the association between H. pylori seropositivity and the development of gastric and oesophageal carcinomas. Nested case-control studies were performed in the Malmö P

Genetic Determinants of Obesity in Relation to Diet, Weight Gain and Mortality

Obesity is one of the major health concerns that has reached epidemic proportions globally. It is generally believed to be a result of interactions between genetic and environmental factors. In this thesis we investigated the role of dietary factors in modifying the genetic susceptibility to obesity (papers I to III), studied the association between genetic susceptibility to obesity and weight gai

Effect of Physical Activity on Bone, Muscle and Fracture Risk during Growth

Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. Previous prospective pediatric exercise intervention studies, however, are short-term, mostly covering less than one year and use bone traits as surrogate endpoints for fractures. The Pediatric Osteoporosi

Laser Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring

This thesis studies the techniques of laser remote sensing and their applications in environmental monitoring, as documented in several published papers. The environment where the human being live is degrading with an accelerating speed. Quantitative monitoring characterizes the quality of the environment and offers possibilities to solve environmental problems. Laser remote sensing actively prob

Osteonecrosis. Prognosis and Prevention of the Consequences of Osteonecrosis

Abstract Background Osteonecrosis (ON) is defined by the in situ death of bone cells, osteocytes, hematopoietic and fatty marrow precursor cells. Events and risk factors known to be associated with ON are femoral neck fracture, hip dislocation, slipped capital femoral epiphysis in children, humeral head fracture and insufficiency fractures in load-bearing joints. The etiology of non-traumatic ON

Male inguinal hernia repair with mesh. Short- and long-term results and the question of infertility.

Background: In the nineties, the patients with inguinal hernias were exposed to several newly developed repair techniques using alloplastic mesh prosthesis. Although the scientific knowledge was limited, the new techniques were rapidly introduced due to surgical enthusiasm, but also by an eagerness to reduce the recurrence rate and to shorten the time to recovery. When the first study of this thes

The Significance of Spaciousness: an investigation of spaciousness in the context of the residential yard

The new interest in density displayed by professional town planners and town-planning researchers is related to the present densification of the urban environment in many towns and cities. Research on densification is primarily concerned with the link between urban form and sustainable development. The point of departure of this thesis is to consider what a denser housing environment will mean to

Hydrological aspects of the carbon balance in a boreal catchment: A model study

AbstractThe cycling of carbon in its gaseous, solid and dissolved forms is of central importance to ecosystem science, particularly, when the natural carbon cycle has been perturbed by human activity. Mathematical models are commonly used to asses and predict global and regional patterns of terrestrial carbon exchange. At the same time, processes operating on smaller (sub-grid) scales are usually
