The heat of wetting of regenerated cellulosic fibres (TENCEL (R), Viscose and Modal) was investigated by reaction calorimetry in comparison with cotton, polyester and TENCEL (R) Fabric. Reaction calorimetry is a technique applied for measuring the heat evolved in chemical reactions where very high analytical precision is required Before the measurements, the fibre samples were dried in an oven at
Rapporten beskriver en studie som syftat till att undersöka och beskriva tre typer av Probiks fuktindikatorer från Alfasensor AB. De olika typerna är Probiks CO, BI och HU. Studien är delvis utförd på laboratorium och delvis i fält på en byggarbetsplats. I rapporten har även erfarenheter från mätningar i befintliga byggnader sammanställts. I studien har en rad experimentella försök av indikatorern
Målet med projektet var att analysera problem med arbete i kyla i mjölkproduktionsanläggningar vad gäller förekomst, frekvens och skaderisk samt att föreslå åtgärder för förbättringar. Projektet bestod av två delar: Del 1. En fältstudie, som genomfördes dels i Uppsalatrakten, dels i Västerbottens län. Del 2. En enkätstudie, riktad till Lantbrukshälsans medlemmar i norra regionen. Fältstudierna omfThe aim of the project was to analyse problems with cold when working in dairyfarms with respect to prevalence, frequency and risk for injuries and to propose measures for improvements of thermal conditions. The project comprised two parts: a field study and a questionnaire survey. The field studies were performed at seven dairy-farms in the Uppsala region and six dairy-farms in the northern regio
For a random walk with negative mean and heavy-tailed increment distribution F, it is well known that under suitable subexponential assumptions, the distribution pi of the maximum has a tail pi(x, infinity) which is asymptotically proportional to integral(x)(infinity)F(y,infinity) dy. We supplement here this by a local result showing that pi(x, x + z] is asymptotically proportional to zF(x,infinit
Medeltidshandskrift 14, the so called Liber scole virginis, is the oldest existing song book of the Cathedral of Lund. It has been given much attention this year in connection with the 900th anniversary of the archdiocese of Denmark. The codicological analysis of this manuscript tells an interesting story about the development of the Marian cult in Lund.
Several converging lines of contemporary evidence suggest that weakness presents a more serious compromise to movement function in poststroke hemiplegia than spasticity. This review examines the clinical and functional phenomena of weakness in poststroke hemiplegia, currently available evidence identifying physiologic substrates contri-buting to weakness, and reports of early investigations involv
Entrepreneurship is considered a central force of economic development, as it generates growth and serves as a vehicle for innovation and change., Tourism is one of the economic sectors in which a great degree of involvement is needed by the entrepreneurial sector: diversification of tourism products and services is needed to cope with increased demand for new types of tourism needs. These include
BACKGROUND: Cytotoxic eosinophil granule proteins are considered important in the pathogenesis of inflammatory airway diseases, including asthma, rhinitis, and polyposis. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved in the deposition of these tissue-damaging granular products in vivo. OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine the occurrence of degranulating eosinophils, those with morphologic ev
Conclusions. The results confirm that tumour stage influences the risk of recurrence/second primary tumour (SPT). High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected patients have a significantly higher risk of recurrence/SPT compared with high-risk HPV-negative patients. High alcohol consumption was associated with a higher risk of recurrence/SPT. In this study, the competing risk of death in intercurr
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate newly developed equations predicting relative glomerular filtration rate(GFR) in adult Swedish Caucasians and to compare with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD) and Mayo Clinic equations using enzymatic and zero-calibrated plasma creatinine assays. MATERIAL AND METHODS: GFR was measured with iohexol clearance adjusted to 1.73 m(2). One population sample (n=436/L
The purpose of this study was to estimate the financial costs of disability pension in order to compare the financial burden and the numerical distribution of disability pension by main diagnostic groups. During three months all new disability pensions (n = 944) granted in Malmohus county were registered. During a follow-up of approximately two and a half years, 40 subjects died and 15 pensions ex
We studied the following in normo- and microalbuminuric hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients: 1) transcapillary escape rate of albumin (TERalb) and 2) expression of mRNA slit diaphragm and podocyte proteins in renal biopsies. Normoalbuminuric subjects had renal cancer, and kidney biopsy was performed during surgery. TERalb was evaluated by clearance of I-125- albumin. Real-time PCR of mRNA slit d
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of work tasks, physical exposure, and psychosocial factors on the risk of musculoskeletal disorders in men and women, in a defined industrial setting. METHODS: 116 male and 206 female fish industry workers were compared with 129 men and 208 women with more varied work. Physical and psychosocial work load as well as musculoskeletal complaints were recorded by a qu
Background: Life expectancy in Sweden is currently one of the longest in the world. The population of Halland has the longest life expectancy in Sweden. Aim: Life expectancy in the province of Halland and Sweden as a whole during 1911-50 was studied and the findings are discussed in the light of local historical data. Method: A trend analysis of risk ratio of death and life expectancy for Halland

The visible-to-ultraviolet upconversion in Pr3+:Y2SiO5 crystals have been investigated at room temperature for three different Pr3+ ion concentrations. The upconverted luminescence bands at the UV region from 270 to 350 nm were obtained with visible laser excitation. The upconversion mechanism was studied by observing the absorption and excitation spectra, the dependence of upconverted luminescenc
