De senaste åren har ett flertal förlossningskliniker lagts ned runt om Sverige. Det har resulterat i en debatt om förlossningsvårdens standard. Frågan har engagerat flera delar av samhället så som politiker, privatpersoner, yrkesverksamma inom vården och gräsrotsorganisationer. Debatten har berört vilket skick den svenska förlossningsvården egentligen befinner sig. Uppsatsen gör ett nedslag i deba
In the last couple of decades a strong increase in surface water iron (Fe) concentrations has been observed in the Northern hemisphere. Since Fe in surface waters derives from the soil in the catchment it is important to understand what biogeochemical processes are governing this increase. It has been proposed that reduced atmospheric sulphate deposition increases Fe concentrations in soil solutio
The symbolic elite discourse on the safety and viability of using the insecticide DDT for combating malaria in Africa is marked by extreme dissonance. While some positions within the debate on using DDT for malaria prevention are quite nuanced, others are more extreme if not one-dimensional. The ones who tend to hold more nuanced or centrist positions on using DDT for controlling malaria are often
The shaping of public support is a matter of high importance for governments engaging in war. But what determines whether the public support for war is strong or weak? And how has different Danish governments succeeded in creating public support for warfare in modern times? This scientific research is a case study of the creation of public support for Danish warfare in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq
Background: Impairment of sinus ostial function is considered an important factor in the pathophysiology of sinus disease. The use of the decongestants such as alpha2-agonists is thought to improve sinus ostial function. Previous studies have shown an effect of alpha2-agonists on maxillary sinus ostial function only when administered in nasal bellows, but not as a nasal spray or nasal drops. The e
As much attention has devoted to the proteome research during the last years, biomarker discovery has become an increasingly hot area, potentially enabling the development of new assays for diagnosis and prognosis of severe diseases. This is the field of research interest where efforts originating from both academic and industrial groups should jointly work on solutions. In this paper we would lik
Ten-m/Odz/teneurins are a new family of four distinct type II transmembrane molecules. Their extracellular domains are composed of an array of eight consecutive EGF modules followed by a large globular domain. Two of the eight modules contain only 5 instead of the typical 6 cysteine residues and have the capability to dimerize in a covalent, disulfide-linked fashion. The structural properties of t
Formyl (HCO) has since long been recognized as a common intermediate species and a potential local indicator of the major heat release in hydrocarbon combustion. Consequently, the detection of HCO is desirable especially in turbulent flames of practical relevance. However, due to the low concentration and low fluorescence quantum yield, single-shot based detection of HCO with planar laser-induced
TRUFFER B. and COENEN L. Environmental innovation and sustainability transitions in regional studies, Regional Studies. Sustainable development and environmental innovations have received increasing attention in regional studies and the related literature. In how far sustainability concerns might also lead to fundamental transformations in technologies, industries and lifestyles (so-called sustain
We have carried out a combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy(UPS), and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) study of the C-60-Si(1 1 1) interaction where the XPS/UPS spectrometer and STM are integrated on a single UHV system. This enables a direct comparison of the XPS/UPS spectra with the STM data and eliminates any uncertainty in C-60 coverage mea
Based on revision of c. 200 collections of Schistidium made during the ongoing survey of the bryophyte flora of the province of Skåne, it is concluded that although S. apocarpum (s.str.) and S. crassipilum are by far the most frequent species a fair number of other taxa occure in the province. Thus, single collections of four species not previously documented from the province, viz. S. boreale, S.
Translational platelet function investigations performed in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-treated population receiving clopidogrel have identified high platelet reactivity to ADP (HPR) as a major risk factor for both acute as well as long-term ischaemic event occurrence, including stent thrombosis. Recent studies have highlighted the relation of single nucleotide polymorphisms of ge
