Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual

Pacific Island countries are already experiencing severe impacts from climate change and these will likely increase in the future. In response, a plethora of climate change adaptation projects have been implemented across the region with the aim of assisting those most affected. Yet these projects have largely failed to reduce vulnerability to climate change in a meaningful way. This chapter addre

Title: The community school of music and art in late modernity: Reservation or market? This thesis focuses on the education at Swedish community school of music and art.

In Lusaka, 70% of the residents live in unplanned settlements. Here, they are regularly exposed to flooding events which exacerbate existing development challenges and have adverse social and economic impacts. Climate change will likely increase the frequency, magnitude, and variability at which such flooding events occur. Therefore, Lusaka City Council has declared the building of community flood

Bumblebees are essential pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. They have experienced global declines over the last decades mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by agricultural intensification and land use changes. Haplodiploid hymenopterans with single-locus complementary sex determination (CSD), such as bees and bumblebees, are likely to experience partly different consequence

Popular Abstract in Swedish I början av 1980-talet rökte ungefär var tredje gravid kvinna i Sverige. Detta innebar att rökning under graviditet var lika vanligt förekommande som rökning bland den vuxna befolkningen i övrigt. Sedan dess har rökningen bland gravida minskat markant och idag är det ungefär 10-12% som röker vid inskrivningen på mödravårdscentralen. Rökning under graviditet är en av deA smoking cessation program targeting pregnant women and their partners was monitored during 17 years and subjected to several substudies. All women in Blekinge, who gave birth in the months of September during the period 1984 to 2000, were asked to fill out a questionnaire, anonymously, about their smoking habits before and during pregnancy. During these years a long-term educational programme co

A national debate about how to transform and to ‘green’ the problematic housing stocks from the boom era has been going on since the late 1990s. Different kinds of policy instruments with energy efficiency objectives that address either energy systems, energy sources or construction and renovation of the building envelope have been in use. Some policy instruments have combined green objectives wit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arktis utgör en viktig del i Jordens miljö och vad som händer där har stor påverkan på det globala klimatet, samtidigt som området är mycket känsligt för förändringar. Under kvartärtiden har stora isar flera gånger täckt Skandinavien, Ryssland, Sibirien och Nordamerika och täcker än idag stora delar av Grönland. Isarna har lämnat spår (landformer och sediment) efter sigThe North Taymyr ice-marginal zone (NTZ) on the Taymyr Peninsula, Arctic Siberia and the Ugleelv Valley on Jameson Land, East Greenland, have been investigated with the aim of reconstructing the glacial history, including depositional processes and environments. Geomorphological, sedimentological, stratigraphical and remote sensing methods have been combined to give a comprehensive view of develop

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ungefär 22 000 svenskar lever i dag med Parkinsons sjukdom som är en hjärnsjukdom där särskilda nervceller som normalt producerar signalsubstansen dopamin dör av okänd anledning. Dessa nervceller har en viktig funktion eftersom de möjliggör vår rörelseförmåga och brist på dopamin leder till rörelsenedsättning där patienten uppvisar symptomen långsamhet, skakningar, muskParkinson’s disease is a brain disorder characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, resulting in the characteristic motor symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural instability. Symptomatic treatment is based on reconstituting the loss of dopamine in the brain, primarily by oral administration of its precursor L-DOPA. Although this drug is effective in the early y

The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, po

Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig. Den nuvarande barnbidragslagsti
