This thesis concerns retrospective and prospective studies of the atrioventricular (AV) conduction properties in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The objectives of the retrospective studies were to further delineate the sex distribution in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) and AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and to determine the underlying mechanisms of the differences in

Since they were first published in the 1890's Emily Dickinson's (1830-1886) poems have elicited queries regarding the proprieties of editing. This dissertation considers processes through which Dickinson's work has been edited in the twentieth century and how such editorial processes contribute specifically to the production of Emily Dickinson as author. As the project of editing Dickinson's work

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fotosyntesen är nödvändig för vårt liv på jordklotet. Fotosyntes utförs huvudsakligen av gröna växter och dessutom av vissa bakterier. Dessa organismer absorberar energin i solljuset och omvandlar den till kemisk energi i form av till exempel kolhydrater och fett som vi människor och djur sedan kan förbränna och utvinna energi ifrån. Fotosyntesen utförs av ett flertal pPSII catalyses the light-induced water splitting process which leads to electron transfer through the thylakoid membrane and formation of energy rich molecules. Several redox components including a Mn4Ca, an amino acid residueYZ, two special Chl molecules P680, two Pheo and two quinone molecules participate in this process. Another component of PSII which interacts magnetically with Mn4Ca is D2-Ty

The Öresund Region is a transnational region encompassing areas of southern Sweden (Skåne) and southeast Denmark (Sjælland and Hovedstaden). The Energi Öresund project seeks to offer strategic and cooperative energy planning for the region as a whole in order to meet the energy goals of Sweden, Denmark, and its constituent local municipalities. The project is funded by EU INTERREG IV, a European U

The Swedish university market has increased during the latest decades in more than one dimension. The traditional engineering programme in land surveying has become part of a market oriented educational structure. A diversification of university programmes has lead to new Bachelor and Master of Science programmes in land surveying and management, as well as in GIS and geomatics, with today five un

This document (or syllabus) contains a qualification scheme and forms the basis for training providers to create a foundation level training for professionals in Configuration Management. Training providers will produce courseware and determine appropriate teaching methods for accreditation, and the document will help candidates in their preparation for the examination. The iNTernational Certifi

Spontaneous data from Swedish are presented which suggest that ‘creaky voice’ associated with the filler EH ‘UH’ is related to the realization of the speaker attitude ‘uncertainty’ in the sense of ‘indecisiveness’ as regards the optimal way to linguistically code referents and predicates. It is suggested that creaky fillers express a certain degree of speaker indecisiveness as regards the most rel

We have discovered four extremely surprising emission lines of strontiumin ejecta near eta Carinae. Hubble Space Telescope (HST) SpaceTelescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations made in 1999 show twonarrow features whose wavelengths correspond to the forbiddentransitions of Sr II, and we have found no other plausibleidentification for these lines. The identifications are confirmed by newHST

Transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB), activator protein-1 (AP-1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) may play important roles in atherogenesis, by regulating chronic subclinical vascular inflammation. In the first study, we showed that VLDL activates the proinflammatory transcription factor NF-kB in endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo. Oxidation of V

Det fackliga medlemsras i Sverige som pågick under 2007 och 2008 upphörde år 2009 om man undantar några arbetargrupper i de privata tjänstenäringarna. På arbetsgivarsidan saknar det fackliga medlemsraset helt motsvarighet. Tvärtom kännetecknas arbetsgivarnas organisationsgrad av stabilitet (1995-2012). Detsamma gäller i stort sett även kollektivavtalens täckningsgrad (1995-2012). Mest uppmärksamhe
