Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroniska bensår utgör en av våra folksjukdomar, där 1% av befolkningen någon gång drabbas. Uppkomsten av sår kan ha en mängd olika orsaker. Den största gruppen är venösa sår, dvs sådana som orsakats av vensjukdom. Behandling av sår har i långa tider betraktats som komplicerad, då såren ofta varit svårläkta och återkommit efter läkning. För den enskilde patienten innebär
Internationally comparable quality assurance of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection and typing methods is essential for evaluation of HPV vaccines and effective monitoring and implementation of HPV vaccination programs. Therefore, the World Health Organisation (WHO) HPV Laboratory Network (LabNet) designed an international proficiency study. Following announcement at the WHO website, respondi
Context: Secondary hypogonadism is common in aging men; its natural history and predisposing factors are unclear. Objectives: The objectives were 1) to identify factors that predispose eugonadal men (T >= 10.5 nmol/L) to develop biochemical secondary hypogonadism (T < 10.5 nmol/L; LH <= 9.4 U/L) and secondary hypogonadal men to recover to eugonadism; and 2) to characterize clinical features associ
Global regulatory circuits together with more specific local regulators play a notable role when cells are adapting to environmental changes. Lactococcus lactis is a lactic acid bacterium abundant in nature fermenting most mono- and disaccharides. Comparative genomics analysis of the operons encoding the proteins and enzymes crucial for catabolism of lactose, maltose and threhalose revealed an obv
Linear multistep methods (LMMs) constitute a class of time-stepping methods for the solution of initial value ODEs; the most well-known methods of this class are the Adams methods (AMs) and the backward differentiation formulae (BDFs). For the fixed stepsize LMMs there exists an extensive error and stability analysis; in practical computations, however, one always uses a variable stepsize. It is w
Background: End-stage kidney disease overwhelms health services in Central America. We determined prevalences of decreased kidney function in distinct populations in the most affected region of Nicaragua. Study Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting & Participants: Total populations aged 20-60 years of 5 villages in Northwest Nicaragua: mining/subsistence farming (elevation, 100-300 m above s
BACKGROUND: Increased pulmonary vascular resistance is frequently seen after lung transplantation. Thromboxane A2 is a potent vasoconstrictor of pulmonary arteries. Thromboxane-elicited vasoconstriction can ben counteracted by prostacyclin. The effects of lung transplantation on the biosynthesis of these substances were investigated. METHODS: Pulmonary artery flush perfusion with a low-potassium d
In conventional synthetic transmit aperture imaging (STA) the image is built up from a number of low resolution images each originating from consecutive single element firings to yield a high resolution image. This lowers the frame rate and may result in motion artifacts. This paper, describes a method in which all transmitting centers can be excited at the same time and separated at the receiver
This dissertation focuses on the medieval nobility and its manors in the inland of Småland. The problems tackled in the dissertation may be divided into two major complexes. One concerns the emergence and growth of the Småland nobility in a long-term perspective, the second concerns the spatial conditions in which the nobles established their manors in the landscape. An important question concerns
Popular Abstract in Swedish Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kvartärtidens avlagringar döljer mycket och detaljerad information om palaeoklimatet och de lämpar sig därför väl för att modellera palaeoklimatets förändringar. Inlandsisar är av avgörande betydelse för klimatet under kvartärtiden. Deras tillväxt och avsmältning beror till stor del på klimatiska faktorer, såsom temperatur, nedeThis thesis presents results from studies on geomorphology, lithostratigraphy and ice flow patterns during the final termination and deglaciation of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet in NE Germany. Ice flow patterns derived from till fabrics and glaciotectonical data indicate that short-lived marginal domes had formed during the advance and the retreat of the last Scandinavian Ice Sheet in NE German
A consecutive series of patients with all types of cervical hip fracture (both undisplaced and displaced) were randomised to osteosynthesis with Hansson hook-pins (n = 98) or AO-screws (n = 101). Background parameters, fracture type and reduction of the fracture did not differ significantly between the groups. Fifty-seven percent of the patients were operated on within 6 h of admission to hospital
Popular AbstractI denna studie står de brottslingar som befolkar amerikanska polis- och deckarserier i fokus. Två huvudgrupper urskiljs: De som begår brott på grund av de omständigheter de befinner sig i och de där brottsligheten framställs som en inre egenskap. I de olika avsnitten skildras hur de senare fördöms och exkluderas från den samhälleliga gemenskapen medan de förra förlåts för sin brottIn this study, American police- and detective-series are analysed. I focus on the portrayal of the criminals, especially the moral aspect. The series can be regarded as moral tales. The morality is embedded in the characters that populate the different episodes. There are two major categories of criminals in the series; the essentialized criminals and the ones that commit crimes due to circumstanc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Modelleringsarbetet utvecklat i denna avhandling, kan delas in i två huvudområden: självantändning i ottomotorer, samt förbränning och emissioner i dieselmotorer. En första version av ett motorsimuleringsprogram med detaljerad kemisk kinetik, utökad för att innefatta full-cykel beräkningar, användes för att visa den starka påverkan som kväveoxider i restgaser har på sjThe modeling work developed in this thesis can be divided in two main areas of investigations: autoignition related to spark ignition engine and combustion and emissions formation in relation to diesel engines. A first version of a detailed kinetics engine simulation program, extended to handle full cycle calculations, was employed in order to demonstrate the strong effect that nitric oxide from
Patients with acute asthma attending the emergency room were included in a double-blind, double-dummy and parallel group study to investigate whether a dry powder inhaler (Turbuhaler) can be used in acute asthma. If so, the aim was to establish the potency relationship between a beta 2-agonist (salbutamol) administered by the dry powder inhaler and the pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI). Eigh
In the thesis, that has its basis in my educational work at Malmö Theatre Academy, I discuss how actors in training solve the problem of embodying the role ? how they, from their ideas, feelings, thoughts and knowledge create the physical actions of the role. My discussion has its basis in how the training in acrobatics can form a sort of model for the strategies needed by the actor to perform on
I vårdnadsmål ska utgångspunkten för domstolens bedömning vara barnets bästa. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § föräldrabalken ska man särskilt beakta risken för att barnet far illa samt barnets behov av en nära och god kontakt med båda sina föräldrar. Det kan därför uppstå situationer där en förälder har varit våldsam mot barnet eller någon annan i familjen medan den andra föräldern hindrat umgänge mellan barnIn court cases concerning custody, the starting point for the court’s assessment must be the child’s best interests. According to 6 chapter 2 a § of the Parental Code, special attention must be brought to the risk of the child being subjected to harm, as well as the child’s needs of a good and close contact with both of its parents. Since these shall be assessed equally, situations may arise where
The aim of this thesis has been to analyze the case of Google Spain v. AEDP, and the legal impacts of that particular case. One of the most important outcomes of the case was the establishment of the principle of the right to be forgotten. The definition of the principle of the right to be forgotten is to grant a data subject the right to have his or her personal information deleted and thus, maki
