Popular Abstract in Swedish När vi blir infekterade av virus eller bakterier (patogener) hjälper olika delar av vårt immunförsvar till att försvara oss från dem. Vår hud, slemhinnor, magsyra och vissa immunceller hjälper till att ospecifikt och snabbt hindra patogenerna från att angripa oss och ofta räcker detta för att infektionen skall klaras av. Men det finns en del till av vårt immunförsvar soT lymohocytes (T cells) and B lymphocytes (B cells) are important effector cells of the adaptive immune system. In response to infections, B cells are activated and produce antibodies against specific antigens. There are two types of T cells, cytotoxic T cells that kill cells infected with bacteria or viruses, and helper T (Th) cells that help B cells produce antibodies by secreting cytokines as w

When making nanoelectrodes for applications in liquid cells it is plausible that the less noble metal layer may be negatively affected, i.e. it will be etched away leading to very unstable conditions during operation. Here we describe a dry method to produce such a molecular layer consisting of mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTS) making it possible to controllable and reproducibly form a covalent

In the teacher education programme at Halmstad University, Sweden, the supervision and examination of the students’ degree papers recently changed. Groups of students are now supervised by supervisor pairs, who in turn are part of a team that is coached by a colleague. The examination of the degree papers has also changed, in that the examination is conducted by someone outside the supervising tea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Två icke-termiska modaliteter utnyttjande ljusets växelverkan med biologisk vävnad beskrivs i den aktuella avhandlingen. De två modaliteterna är fotodynamisk tumörterapi (PDT) och laser-inducerad fluorescens (LIF) för vävnadsdiagnostik. Fotodynamisk tumörterapi är en behandlingsform där ett tillfört fotosensibiliserande ämne reagerar med icke-joniserande strålning och Two non-thermal regimens of light interaction with biological tissue, that are in a natural way connected, are discussed in the present thesis. These are photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of malignant tumours and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) for tissue characterization. In PDT, a photochemical reaction is induced by non-ionizing electromagnetic irradiation in tissue where photosens

This paper summarises the aims and goals of the ALPINE project, a project involving partners in 20 European countries. It examines how the project used technology and further to enhance project learning and the problems and opportunities created by this approach. The paper refers to the work of one of its working groups, the ICT and Community outreach group. The paper shows how providers of adult

The present paper explores the metaphors of illness in Swedish narratives on eating disorders, published between 1987 and 2005. The authors use the metaphors of powerful beings such as serpents or devils to name their illness, and these metaphors can be analysed as being part of the master metaphors of battle, territory and intruders. This paper discusses the metaphors used to envision the flesh a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förebyggande av hjärtkärlsjukdom har varit en utmaning för medicinsk forskning under flera decennier. Viktiga frågeställningar om såväl screeningmetodik som risk-faktor intervention söker fortfarande sitt svar och har i sig betydelse för både samhällsmedicin och klinisk verksamhet. Målsättningen för denna studie var att undersöka möjligheten för läkare och sjuksköterskoCardiovascular disease prevention has been a challenge for research for decades. The studies of this thesis were designed to investigate the role of health professionals in everyday clinical work based upon the concept of comprehensive primary care consultation. Routine check-up of blood pressure was the basis for the inclusion in an opportunistic screening for hyperchol-esterolaemia. Additionally
