Variation in sapflow and stem growth in relation to tree size, competition and thinning in a mixed forest of pine and spruce in Sweden

The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between different biometric parameters and sapflow and growth, respectively, in order to assess their potential for use in scaling. The effect of thinning on these relationships was also investigated. The studied stand consisted of Scots pine (ca. 60%), Norway spruce (ca. 35%) and downy birch (ca. 5%). Sapflow was measured by the tissue heat-ba

Evidence of reduced measurement uncertainties from an FTIR instrument intercomparison at Kiruna, Sweden

We report the results of an intercomparison of vertical column amounts of HCl, HF, N(2)O, HNO(3), CH(4), O(3), CO(2) and N(2) derived from the spectra recorded by two ground-based FTIR spectrometers operated side-by-side using the sun as a source. The procedures used to record spectra and derive vertical column amounts followed the format of previous instrument intercomparisons organised by the Ne

Early exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke and the development of allergic diseases in 4 year old children in Malmo, Sweden

Background: Earlier studies have shown an association between secondhand tobacco smoke and allergy development in children. Furthermore, there is an increased risk of developing an allergy if the parents have an allergy. However, there are only few studies investigating the potential synergistic effect of secondhand tobacco smoke and allergic heredity on the development of an allergy. Methods: The

Determinants of kidney function in Swedish families: role of heritable factors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the determinants of kidney function and the role of heritable factors in a sample of 249 siblings free from known cardiovascular disease and without antihypertensive drugs belonging to 110 families. Four different measures and estimates of kidney function were considered. Blood pressure was recorded during 24 h by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Heritabi

Enterolactone is differently associated with estrogen receptor beta-negative and -positive breast cancer in a Swedish nested case-control study

BACKGROUND: Differences in the estrogen receptor (ER) status of tumors may explain ambiguities in epidemiologic studies between the blood concentrations of enterolactone and breast cancer. To our knowledge, the association between enterolactone and ERbeta-defined breast cancer has previously not been examined.METHODS: A nested case-control study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort used 366 cas

To jointly negotiate a personal decision: a qualitative study on information literacy practices in midwifery counselling about contraceptives at youth centres in Southern Sweden

Introduction. The study is part of a project in which young women’s evaluation of information sources before choosing a contraceptive is studied. It focuses on young women meeting midwives for counselling about contraceptives. Conversations are information literacy practices with both parties negotiating about needed and appropriate information on which they will base decisions. Method. Ten conve
