I denna undersökning har en stratigrafiskt högupplösande glödförluststudie utförts på senglaciala och tidigholocena sjösediment från Atteköps mosse i nordvästra Skåne. Studien har kompletterats med kornstorleksanalyser, kolanalyser, mätningar av magnetisk susceptibilitet och AMS 14C-dateringar. Undersökningen påvisar ett karaktäristiskt mönster i sedimentens sammansättning och i glödförlustkurvan,In this study, a high resolution loss on ignition analysis was performed over the Late Weichselian lacustrine sediments retrieved from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden. The data set was complemented by grain-size measurements, total carbon analysis, magnetic susceptibility and AMS 14C dates. The analyzed data set reveals a characteristic pattern in lithology and the loss on ignition curve, wher

Over the last three and half decades Sweden have provided development aid to Ethiopia. This aid was used to expand Ethiopia's educutional system, public health service and agricultural production. This empiricaI study reveals Ethiopia's response to Swedish aid and its influence. Providing and receiving aid explains the existence of disparity among sovereign states. In spite of the demonstrative i

Insulin sensitivity and secretion are related in a curvilinear inverse asymptotic function. However, the signaling factors mediating this relation are not known. In this study, we explored whether circulating glucose, lipids or two adipocyte-derived hormones, leptin and adiponectin, are related to the curvilinear function between insulin sensitivity and secretion in subjects with normal glucose to

Objective: This study was performed to investigate the influence of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P (SP) on the intra-urethral pressure in female rats, as both these neuropeptides have been demonstrated to occur in nerve fibres throughout all layers of the intrinsic external urethral sphincter of the rat. Material and Methods: Both CGRP and SP were administered intra-arteria

A report on the long-term follow up of the first cooperative Scandinavian Sarcoma Group study in Ewing's sarcoma of bone is presented. Fifty-two previously untreated patients entered the study between 1984 and 1990. Half of the tumors were located in the extremities and one quarter in the pelvis. The combined modality treatment consisted of 5 cycles of chemotherapy--including vincristine, methotre

Glycerol formation is vital for reoxidation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form; NADH) under anaerobic conditions and for the hyperosmotic stress response in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, relatively few studies have been made on hyperosmotic stress under anaerobic conditions. To study the combined effect of salt stress and anaerobic conditions, industrial and laborato

The catalytic domain of overexpressed protein kinase C (PKC)-delta mediates phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation or apoptosis in appropriate model cell lines. To define the portions of the catalytic domain that are critical for these isozyme-specific functions, we constructed reciprocal chimeras, PKC-delta/epsilonV5 and -epsilon/deltaV5, by swapping the V5 domains of PKC-d

This report investigate evacuation safety in business premises. A number of rooms have been designed by old Swedish building regulations, Nybyggnadsreglerna, NR, 1988 as handbook. When NR doesn’t corresponds with the building regulations of today, Boverkets byggregler, BBR 94, the rules in BBR will be followed. The rooms have been chosen in a way so it will be possible to study the effects on the

The purpose of our paper was to examine how these unaccompanied teenagers were integrated and countered by the Swedish authorities based on the teenager´s perspective. To carry out our study, we have focused on male teenagers who were previously resident in a temporary home for unaccompanied refugee teens. We conducted a qualitative interview with four teenagers and we asked questions about their

Recent findings have shown that listening to white noise can improve memory in people with ADHD or low levels of attention. The current study explored whether white noise can improve performance on a test of sustained attention. Participants (N=19) were divided into an attentive (N=10) and inattentive group (N=9) based on the inattention sub-section of the ASRS (Adult Self-Report ADHD Scale). Part

The Latin American music genre reggaetón has since its very recent emergence gained massive audiences, and is today widely listened to all across the region. The song lyrics have, however, received criticism for allegedly reinforcing stereotypical gender roles built on machismo and sexist values, partly because of the majority of reggaetón producers and performers being men. This thesis aims to ex

INTRODUCTION RealQ-KML is a clinical decision support system combined with tools for quality assessment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Thanks to the introduction of modern treatment CML is a chronic disease, which during its follow-up generates large quantities of data. The aim of this study was to evaluate how this program could be used at the Department of Hematology, at Skåne University Ho

Our aim with this study was to follow seven mums who are blogging about their everyday life and all of them are struggling with different traumatic crisis. Their blogs can also be called a personal blog because it contains a high level of self-disclosure to the publics. We wanted to examine the fine line between public and private and how the mother balances this line in their emotions, intimate s

The purpose of this paper is to examine how behavioural biases affect consumers’ response to energy-use information provided through smart meters (SM). We take insights from behavioural economics and carry out two real-life experiments with SMs and electricity users. The experiments were conducted in Copenhagen (Denmark) to identify and assess the potential of two economic behavioural biases, sali

One of the keys to the development of novel anti-infective strategies. Over the last fifteen years it has become increasingly obvious that bacteria are not as simple and solitary as once believed. Rather, an accumulating body of work shows that bacteria are highly complicated and social organisms, constantly sensing their surroundings and altering both their environments and behaviors to ensure su

BACKGROUND: Despite the detrimental impact of abnormal glucose metabolism on cardiovascular prognosis after myocardial infarction (MI), diabetes is both underdiagnosed and undertreated. We investigated associations between structured diabetes care routines in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) and detection and treatment of diabetes at one-year post-MI.METHODS: Center-level data was derived from the Perf

Objectives: – To evaluate the prevalence of mood disorder symptoms and measure the quality of life in women with vulvar dermatoses attending a specialized vulvar clinic in southern Sweden. Materials and Methods: – A questionnaire-based study among consecutive women attending the vulvar unit at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology at Skåne University Hospital. Sociodemographic factors were

Frågan om skattskyldighet vid konkurs är idag inte reglerad i lag. Före avgörandet RÅ 1955 ref. 21, delades skattskyldigheten mellan konkursgäldenär och konkursbo och hela inkomsten blev beskattad. Men sedan 1955 års avgörande blir konkursboet inte beskattat för inkomst av sådant slag som boet före 1955 blev beskattat för. Ett flertal rättsfall efter år 1955 bekräftar att konkursbo inte ska beskat

Human physiology is the study of how organisms, organ systems, and individual organs function under normal circumstances. As a consequence of its paramount importance to medicine, physiology has been studied since ancient times, but the models studied in this book follow the tradition of modern physiology pioneered by Claude Bernard in the mid 1800s.The focus of the book lies on how dynamical mech
