Popular Abstract in Swedish (Summary in Swedish) Urininkontinens är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Ungefär 10 % av kvinnor i 40-årsåldern är drabbade och andelen inkontinenta ökar med ökande ålder. Den vanligaste formen av urininkontinens är så kallad ansträngningsinkontinens med de typiska symptomen urinläckage vid hosta, tunga lyft och gymnastik. I uttalade fall kan dock läckage uppstå redan vid daThe etiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is unclear. By linking three nationwide medical registries we evaluated maternal and obstetric factors associated with later SUI surgery. Surgery for SUI was strongly associated with vaginal delivery, but not with pregnancy as such. Maternal conditions and interventions during delivery modified the association. Proper evaluation of treatment

Popular Abstract in Swedish Autism och autismspektrumstörningar är ett kliniskt och beteendemässigt definierat samt biologiskt orsakat syndrom innebärande nedsatt förmåga till social ömsesidighet, verbal och ickeverbal kommunikation samt med kännetecknen både begränsade och repetitiva beteenden, intressen och rutiner. Bakom de synliga beteendena ligger nedsättningar i förmågan till mentalisering, The aims of this thesis were: to review studies of treatment evaluation from the years 1992-2002; to evaluate the Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communication Handicapped Children, TEACCH, treatment model for adults and children with autism; to develop and evaluate a screening instrument for early detection of autism and other developmental deficits, SEEK. The instruments used we

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allmän Introduktion Hormonkänsligt lipas (HKL/HSL) är det protein (enzym) som hydrolyserar (bryter ner) det fett som finns lagrat inne i fettcellerna i fettväven. HSL finns också i steroidproducerande vävnader, som t.ex. binjure, äggstockar, moderkaka och testikel, och har troligtvis en viktig funktion i steroidsyntesen i åtminstone vissa av dessa vävnader. Det är dock Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in adipose tissue that hydrolyses stored fat (triacylglycerol). The activity of HSL is under strict hormonal and neural control. Lipolytic agents, such as catecholamines, increase the cAMP levels, resulting in an activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), which in turn phosphorylates and activates HSL. This thesis describes the structural orga

The transcription factor Wilms' tumor gene 1 (WT1) is highly expressed in the majority of leukemias, suggesting a role in leukemogenesis. Acquired WT1 mutations are reported as an independent predictor of poor clinical outcome, and mutations resulting in deletion of the entire DNA-binding zinc-finger domain (WT1delZ), is the most common type. The aim of this study was to study cellular effects of

This chapter addresses the control of glucose feeding in fed-batchreactors. The feeding strategy is based on a pulse technique, whichdoes not require a priori knowledge of the process. A feedbackalgorithm optimizes the feed rate with respect to the constraints ofaerobic conditions and overfeeding. Stability and performance analysisare performed on a simplified model of the reactor, using standard

While research on the design of heterogeneous concurrent systems has a long and rich history, a unified design methodology and tool support has not emerged so far, and thus the creation of such systems remains a difficult, time-consuming and error-prone process. The absence of principled support for system evaluation and optimization at high abstraction levels makes the quality of the resulting im

The interaction of self-propelled biological molecular-motors and cytoskeletal filaments holds relevance for a variety of applications such as biosensing, drug screening, diagnostics and biocomputation. The use of these systems for lab-on-a-chip biotechnology applications shows potential for replacement of microfluidic flow by active, molecular-motor driven transport of filaments. The ability to c

We report a novel size-insensitive method, iso-acoustic focusing (IAF), that can, for the first time, analyze and separate cells based on their intrinsic acoustic properties. We characterize the IAF system using two different cell lines and apply it to measuring the acoustic impedance of two subgroups of white blood cells (WBC): neutrophils and lymphocytes. We find cell type specific differences i

In high-income countries a large proportion of all deaths occur in hospitals. A common way to translate knowledge into clinical practice is developing guidelines for different levels of health care organisations. During 2012, national clinical guidelines for palliative care were published in Sweden. Later, guidance for palliative care was issued by the National Board of Health and Welfare. The aim

When Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is used in clinical studies, statistical hypothesis testing is the standard approach to establish significant differences between groups, such as patients and healthy controls. However, diffusion tensors contain six degrees of freedom, and the most commonly used univariate tests reduce them to a single scalar, such as Fractional Anisotropy. Multivariate tests th

This paper presents a new control strategy for an underactuated two-link robot, called the Pendubot. The goal is to create stable oscillations of the outer link of the pendubot, which is not directly actuated. We exploit a recently proposed feedback control design strategy, based on motion planning via virtual holonomic constraints. This strategy is shown to be useful for design of regulators for

Droplet microfluidics is a powerful method to characterize chemical reactions at high throughput. Often detection is performed via in-line optical readout, which puts high demands on the detection system and makes detection of low concentration substrates challenging. Here, we have developed a droplet acoustofluidic chip for time-controlled microbead-based reactions that is combined with off-line

Serier av dygnsnederbörd omfattande 89 år från Malmö, Halmstad och Göteborg har analyserats liksom dygnsnederbörd från 230 stationer i Skåne för perioden 1961–1990. Fördelning i rum och tid har undersökts liksomförhållanden mellan dygnsnederbörd och olika parametrar. Extremvärden har uppskattats med olika frekvensfördelningar. De allra största oberoende händelserna har inträffat ganska jämnt fördeSeries of daily precipitation including 89 years from Malmö, Halmstad and Göteborg have been analyzed aswell as daily precipitation from 230 stations in Skåne in the period 1961–1990. The distribution in space andtime has been investigated, and also the relation between daily rainfall and different parameters. The mostextreme independent events have occurred rather evenly distributed over Skåne, a

Abstract in UndeterminedA numerical study has been performed to simulate the tip leakage flow and heat transfer on the first stage of a high-pressure turbine, which represents a modern gas turbine blade geometry. The low Re k-ω (SST) model is used to model the turbulence. Calculations are performed for both a flat and a squealer blade tip for three different tip gap clearances. The computations we
