Popular Abstract in Swedish Njurarnas huvudsakliga funktion i kroppen är att rena blodet från slaggprodukter och reglera vätskebalansen. Hos patienter med nedsatt njurfunktion måste blodet renas på alternativa sätt. Antingen leds blodet ut via slangar till en maskin som renar blodet (hemodialys), eller används bukdialys, så kallad peritoneal dialys (PD). Vid PD häller patienten dialysvätska i bukhIn the present thesis, the quantitative role of active transport (transcytosis) in bulk transvascular protein movement in vivo was evaluated. Using chemical transcytosis inhibition (N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) and filipin), we were able to show that NEM actually increases endothelial permeability to macromolecules, probably as a result of unspecific toxic action on endothelial cells. Filipin, on the ot

Software inspections have shown to contribute improved software quality. However, as they are time consuming; sometimes the resources available are not sufficient to inspect all documents. Instead of selecting documents ad hoc, sample-driven inspections (SDI) is proposed as a systematic approach to select which subset of documents to inspect. The selection is based on a pre-inspection, where sampl

This article describes four types of new elites which have emerged in the post-post-socialism (PPS) period: a local political class, a comprador bourgeoisie of business people or NGO project staff (Euro-elites), a domestic business elite, and in areas of conflict, warlords and mafia chieftains. The four groups of elites compete for the resources and opportunities offered by project society in the

Studien har undersökt vad studenterna i en kurs vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola har tyckt om kamratgranskning och reflektionsuppgifter och om dessa har hjälpt dem i inlärningen av kursämnet. En ansats gjordes att försöka se om en faktisk läreffekt av en reflektionsuppgift hade uppnåtts. Kursutvärderingsresultat, textanalyserade reflektioner samt tentamensresultat har använts i analysen i studien. Stud

Time-varying wave propagation and time-harmonic wave propagation in biisotropic materials are reviewed and the connection between the formulations is established via the temporal Fourier transform. An alternative method to determine the dispersive properties of a bi-isotropic slab from sinusoidal scattering data at normal incidence is presented. A numerical example (realistic, synthetic scattering

History shows us that in the cost/performance ratio of any given product has decreased continuously. This may wrongly have led us to the conclusion that improvements can continue infinitely at the current pace. Our proposition is that we trust a mental picture that is not consistent with the future level of potential improvements in technology and business, which in turn has repercussions for soci

Boken går igenom de molekyler som bygger upp cellen och hur enzymer arbetar, cellens organeller, cellens olika mekanismer och funktioner. Molekylärbiologiska metoder beskrivs och till sist cellens energimetabolism och reglering av denna. Boken förankrar cellbiologin i verkligheten, dvs. låter läsaren förstå det direkta sambandet mellan synliga symtom hos en patient och de osynliga molekylära händ
