De utsatta bostadsområdena har under årens lopp varit föremål för ett varierande tvärvetenskapligt intresse med inriktning allt ifrån arkitektur, byggteknik och allmänna kommunikationer, till samhällsvetenskapliga studier av bostadspolitikens effekter: befolkningssammansättningar, demokrati, segregation, osv. Forskningsfältet är således i sig mångfasetterat och kan sägas spegla olika perspektiv på

Nucleoside analogues (NA) are prodrugs that are phosphorylated by deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) as the first step towards a compound toxic to the cell. During the last 20 years, research around dNKs has gone into new organisms other than mammals and viruses. Newly discovered dNKs have been tested as enzymes for suicide gene therapy. The tomato thymidine kinase 1 (ToTK1) is a dNK that has been

Objectives. To evaluate the agreement and performance of two tests for aPLs with regard to association with manifestations of the APS in patients with SLE.Methods. We investigated 712 SLE patients and 280 population controls. Cardiolipin and β(2) glycoprotein-I antibodies were measured with routine ELISA and a new automated method. Three positivity cut-offs (99%, 90% of controls and recommended cu

Objective. An extensive remodeling of the human cervical connective tissue occurs throughout pregnancy, with a decrease in the total concentration of collagen and proteoglycans. We hypothesized that the profound changes in proteoglycan production in the cervix would be seen in corresponding cervical fibroblasts as well. Methods. Cervical biopsies were obtained from five non-pregnant women, five wo

Heart period variability and heart rate were studied in 15 women and 15 men while they were viewing negatively (snakes/spiders), neutrally (scenic views), and positively (cats and kittens/puppies and dogs) valenced films. Time-frequency analyses of the heart period variability power spectrum in the high frequency region (0.12-0.4 Hz), reflecting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), were carried out

The printing of a manuscript of lectures in medieval archaeology by docent Rikard Holmberg: Kyrkobyggnad, kult and samhälle. Landskyrkan i Lunds forna ärkestift genom tiderna (Church building, cult and society. The country church in the former arch bishopric of Lund through time) from 1972-73

When writing computer software one is often forced to balance the need for high run-time performance with high programmer productivity. By using a high-level language it is often possible to cut development times, but this typically comes at the cost of reduced run-time performance. Using a lower-level language, programs can be made very efficient but at the cost of increased development time. Re

INTRODUCTION: The use of EVAR for more complex aneurysm anatomy has become more widespread over the past decade. Fenestrated and branched stent grafts for the visceral and iliac segment show promising short- and midterm outcome and these procedures have become routine in many vascular centers. However, at present, such grafts are customized to the individual patient and planning and manufacturing
