Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom innebär att maginnehåll backar (reflux) upp från magsäcken till matstrupen på ett onormalt sätt. Hos den friska individen finns flera mekanismer som skyddar matstrupen från reflux, vilket tydligt åskådliggörs av att man efter en måltid kan ställa sig upp och ner utan att föda backar upp i matstrupen. Vid refluxsjukdom föreligger defekter inEsophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most dist

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and often causes pain and functional impairment. Despite its high burden on society, knowledge about the occurrence of OA and its associated mortality is sparse. The epidemiology of OA is difficult to determine due to the patients’ fluctuating symptoms and challenges in detecting and defining the radiographic disease. The specific aims of th

Many Swedish multifamily buildings from the 1960s are now reaching a stage where major renovation is needed to improve energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and long-term climate performance. At the same time, renovation strategies may involve trade-offs between operational energy savings, embodied carbon, thermal comfort, and material circularity. This thesis evaluates energy-efficien

Objectives: – To quantify the risk of incident psychiatric morbidity after community-acquired sepsis and assess whether new chronic diseases mediate the association. Design: – Nationwide, population-based matched register cohort; hazards estimated with weighted Cox regression. Setting: – Sweden, linking the National Quality Sepsis Registry, National Patient Register, Prescribed Drug Register, and

SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] penetrated China in spring of 2003, created havoc in the social society, exposed weaknesses within the political system and pushed the nation towards a crisis of confidence. At the same time the crisis revitalised the Party's position, brought people from different social stratum together and had a beneficial impact on the populace's knowledge on he

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid förbränning av bränslen som innehåller kol, till exempel ved, olja och biobränslen, bildas sotpartiklar då det finns ett underskott av syre, så kallad ofullständig förbränning. Det är sotpartiklarna i brasan som ger dess gula sken. Dessa partiklar är små och består till största delen av oförbränt kol från bränslet. De små sotpartiklarna är hälsofarliga då de följer In the thesis work, two X-ray scattering techniques, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) were combined to study particle formation in-situ and non-intrusively in ethylene laboratory flames. Combining these two techniques enabled information concerning the size and concentration as well as the subnanometer structure of the nanoparticles within the 1–100 nm range there to be obtai

BACKGROUND: The American Diabetes Association (ADA)/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD)/International Diabetes Federation GDFAFCC Consensus Statement on the worldwide standardization of HbA(1c) states that"...[HbA(1c)] results are to be reported world-wide in IFCC units...and derived NGSP units...,using the IFCC-NGSP master equation." METHODS: We describe statistical methods to e

This study investigates the relationship between evidentiality, temporality and epistemic control through detailed interpretive analysis of wine reviews written by Robert Parker, whose outstanding authority in this particular discourse field provides an exceptionally fruitful backdrop for the exploration of credibility in discourse. The material consists of 200 entire reviews, which are divided in

Objective: To study the effects and serum levels of glibenclamide (Gb) and its active metabolites in patients on chronic Gb medication on different daily doses. Material and methods: Fifty patients with type 2 diabetes on regular Gb therapy (1.75-14.0 mg daily). Blood samples were taken immediately before and 90 min after regular Gb intake. A standardized breakfast was served 30 min after drug int

Background: The need for a mobile workforce inevitably means that the length of the total work day (working and traveling time) will increase, but the health effects of commuting have been surprisingly little studied apart from perceived stress and the benefits of physically active commuting. Methods: We used data from two cross-sectional population-based public health surveys performed in 2004 an

Det kan antas vara svårt för en domare att granska sakkunnigbevisning utan att själv besitta samma kunskap som den sakkunnige. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur rätten går tillväga för att granska sakkunnigbevisning och att undersöka hur denna granskning eventuellt skulle kunna förbättras. Särskilt fokus riktas mot situationer då fler sakkunniga presenterar motstridiga uppgifter i samIt can be assumed that it is a difficult task for a judge to evaluate expert evidence, while not possessing the required specialist knowledge. The purpose with this thesis is to examine how the court evaluates expert evidence and how that evaluation could be improved, particularly in situations where several experts present contradictory positions on the same issue. By researching legal literatur

Background Coronary artery disease is one of the most common causes of death. A common cardiac examination is to give a visualization of the myocardial blood flow by injecting a radio pharmaceutical and detect the radiation with a camera. The camera has for decades been using thallium doped sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) as the detector material. New detector materials have been developed because of the

The global transition to renewable energies is increasingly driven by wind energy, which now experiences its biggest growth in the emerging and developing countries. The development of large-scale wind farms raises concerns over often neglected territorial and social dimensions of wind energy development – important issues in areas like the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico, where indigenous

Power system infrastructure has been facing many challenges when it comes to harmonics distortion, and power electronic devices are no exception considering their wide usage in the system. In this thesis the focus is on the impact of these system harmonics on the electrical motors which are vastly used in industry for different applications. Motors usually come with a softstarter, and are connecte
