Objective: To test the hypothesis that sub-optimal factors in perinatal care services resulting in perinatal deaths were more common among immigrant mothers from the Horn of Africa, as compared to Swedish mothers. Design: A perinatal audit, comparing cases of perinatal deaths among children of African immigrants residing in Sweden, with a stratified sample of cases among native Swedish women. Se

The integrating properties of the atmospheric boundary layer allow the influence of surface exchange processes on the atmosphere to be quantified and estimates of large-scale fluxes of trace gases and plant isotopic discrimination to be made. Five flights were undertaken over two days in and above the convective boundary layer (CBL) in a vegetated region in central Siberia. Vertical profiles of CO

Objective: Individual-based studies on restricted geographical settings have suggested that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may precipitate congestive heart failure. As NSAID use is very extensive, it might increase the occurrence of symptomatic heart failure in the general population. Therefore, in order to study the impact of NSAID utilisation (prescribed and over the counter) on h

Previously it demonstrated that in the absence of Ca2+ entry, evoked secretion occurs neither by membrane depolarization, induction of [Ca2+]i rise, nor by both combined (Ashery, U., Weiss, C., Sela, D., Spira, M. E., and Atlas, D. (1993). Receptors Channels 1:217-220.). These studies designate Ca2+ entry as opposed to [Ca2+]i rise, essential for exocytosis. It led us to propose that the channel a

Traditional 14C urea breath tests are normally not used for younger children because the radiation exposure is unknown. High sensitivity accelerator mass spectrometry and an ultra-low amount (440 Bq) of 14C urea were therefore used both to diagnose Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in seven children, aged 3–6 years, and to make radiation dose estimates. The activity used was 125 times lower than

The long-term shoreline evolution at Hai Hau Beach in the Red River Delta, Vietnam was simulated using the one-line model GENESIS (Hanson, 1989). Dikes were modelled as seawalls and the sediment continuity equation in GENESIS was modified to take into account the offshore transport of fine-grained sediment. The model performed well, reproducing the magnitude and trend of the long-term shoreline ch

Popular AbstractJag är konstnär! beskriver konstnärskapet i en mindre konstvärld ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Den lilla konstvärlden är specifik. Den utmärks av en hög grad av överblickbarhet, igenkännande och osäkerhet. Igenkännandet kan till en del minska den osäkerhet man känner inför vad som är konst och vad som inte är det, och vem som bör tillskrivas en konstnärsroll och vem som bör utdefI am an artist! describes the process of recognition that surrounds being an artist in a local art world; how boundaries are drawn up not only by the artists themselves, but also others in the art world. It also describes the advantages and restrictions of a local art world as far as the artist´s possibilities to be seen, mentioned, judged and distributed, and also the specific general view which

Different aspects of hybrid control systems are treated: analysis, simulation, design and implementation. A systematic methodology using extended Lyapunov theory for design of hybrid systems is developed. The methodology is based on conventional control designs in separate regions together with a switching strategy. Dynamics are not well defined if the control design methods lead to fast mode sw

We present angle- and polarization-dependent photoelectron spectra of solid C-60 recorded over a large range of emission angles. The bands derived from the three highest molecular orbitals are very similar in their angular distribution and show a strong dependence on both light polarization direction and sample orientation. We show that a molecular emission pattern modified by solid-state effects

Weekly resource use data for local wound treatment was collected from a clinical survey (138 patients). Annual costs were calculated from the weekly resource usage multiplied by unit costs and published epidemiological prevalence data for Sweden. The average weekly cost was 101 euro, though it differed depending by ulcer size. The total direct annual cost of venous leg ulcers in Sweden could be es

Objectives: At the request of the European Commission and in the framework of the European Machinery Directive, research was performed in five different laboratories to develop specifications for surface temperature limit values for the short-term accidental touching of the fingertip with cold surfaces. Methods: Data were collected in four laboratories with a total of 20 males and 20 females perfo
