Institutional repositories are now being created to manage, preserve, and maintain the digital assets and intellectual output of a university. The incentives to change the process of scholarly communication have also begun serving as a strong motivator. There are problems to consider and questions to be solved when dealing with electronic publishing and the implementation of institutional reposito
The Common European Framework of reference for languages (CEFR) has, since its publication in 2001, become a key document with respect to the organisation of language teaching and testing in Europe. The six reference levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) have become widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual's language proficiency. However, it has been pointed out that the
Uppsatsen syftar till att, ur ett skadeståndsrättsligt perspektiv, ingående analysera prospektansvaret, särskilt vad gäller ansvaret för aktiebolag, samt de förslag till reformer som lagstiftaren presenterar i Ds 2013:16. Ett prospekt ska innehålla all information rörande emittenten och värdepapperna, som är nödvändig för att en investerare ska kunna göra en välgrundad bedömning av emittenten oc
Popular science summary Has climate change influenced flowering time of coltsfoot? Phenological events such as the onset of flowering during the spring are among the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Hence, phenological data have recently emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on species and ecosystems. In this study, I used records from herbaria and pub
This thesis is based on data from a large glaucoma screening, comprising 32, 918 elderly citizens of Malmö and data from retrospective analysis of glaucoma patients’ charts from the Eye Department of Malmö University Hospital. The definition of glaucoma was based on reproducible visual field defects and/or glaucomatous optic nerve head damage in both groups. In paper I, including screened individ
The thesis Housing Culture, Information Flows, and Craftsmen 1740-1820 (Bostadskultur, informationsflöden och hantverkare 1740-1820) investigates two mansion houses – Bålby in Närke and Skottsbergska gården in Karlshamn – with the focus on craftsmen and their clients. This is in order to analyse the relationship between professional craftsmen in the capital and in other regions. The clients have a
Since soluble fibre in the form of the cereal beta-glucans found in oats and barley has been shown to have a positive effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, people at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases or diabetes might benefit from that a variety of palatable food products containing beta-glucans being available to them. The aim of the papers presented in the thesis was to evaluate the m
Patients waiting for cardiac surgery often consider the period from the decision for surgery to the time for the operation as long, heavy and dreary. Therefore, it is important that patients are supplied with structured oral and written information regarding their disease and its treatment, so that they are able to understand and discuss the forthcoming operation, the risk of complications and the
1. During incubation of platelets with 3H-arachidonic acid (20:4, n-6) and 14C-cholesterol doubly labelled and colloidal gold labelled chylomicrons (CMs) and chylomicron remnants (CMRs) CMs were taken up more efficiently than CMRs. Addition of unlabelled CMs, VLDLs, LDLs and HDLs decreased the uptake of labelled CMs. Electron microscopic studies demonstrated an accumulation of CM-Au's both in the
The Baltic Sea is one of the world’s largest brackish water environments and is today suffering from, for example, eutrophication, spreading hypoxia, accumulations of contaminants and invasive organisms. These problems exist due to a combination of natural features that makes the Baltic Sea a sensitive ecosystem (such as long water residence time, limited water exchange, large catchment area), and
A suicide attempt is one of the most powerful predictors of eventual suicide. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the social situation, including social support of suicide attempters. One part of the investigations concerned patients admitted to a psychiatric ward following a suicide attempt. Another part concerned significant others (SOs) of suicide attempters, interviewed directly after th
The aim with this thesis was to investigate effects of vasoactive mediators on mucociliary activity and blood flow in rabbit and human experimental models. Mucociliary activity in vivo and ciliary beat frequency (CBF) in vitro were measured with photoelectric techniques. Blood flow was measured with laser Doppler flowmetry. Substance P (SP) and methacholine increased human nasal blood flow. Pretre
The aim of this dissertation is to use intersectional analysis to investigate how gender is made in drug abuse treatment and to examine how the formation of gender interplays with the formation of sexuality, class and ethnicity. Central questions are: What gender(s) are to be shaped in druge abuse treatment? What happens to a gender perspective with emancipatory ambitions when it is incorporated i
