Popular Abstract in Swedish Var efterlystes brottslingar förr? I kyrkan! Var fick man reda på att äkta män övergivit sina hustrur? I kyrkan! Hur annonserades kommande auktioner? I kyrkan! Var tillkännagavs nya lagar och förordningar? Hur fick människor besked om var viktiga möten skulle äga rum? Hur visste man att landet var i krig och vad som hände under kriser av olika slag? Naturligtvis var detAs from 1686 it was decreed by law that all government regulations, orders, edicts and other information any government official wanted to make public, had to be read out to the people by the clergy from the pulpits of all churches in Sweden and Finland at the end of the sermon. The system of communication remained in full force until the end of the 19th century and was not finally abandoned until

Objectives To explore case ascertainment, hospitalization, characteristics of both hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients in a population-based group of stroke patients. Materials and methods One-year screening in Lund-Orup district for first-ever strokes using multiple prospective and retrospective methods. Results A total of 456 patients with first-ever stroke (n = 412 prospective screening

Quality of life has various dimensions with multiple meanings for people. One vital issue is whether a person's subjective experienced quality of life correlates with his or her personality. Several studies show a correlation between personality and quality of life, life satisfaction or well-being. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between personality and life quality, in parti

A nonlinear 3D finite element model and a theoretical parameter study in relation to glued-in rods for timber structures are presented. A strain-softening crack band model was used to characterise the behaviour of the adhesive layer between the rod and the wood. The model is general in the sense that it bridges the gap between the theory of an ideal plastic bondline and the theory of linear elasti

An entirely new type of blood gas analyser has made its way into the marketplace, to be used, for example, in emergency rooms, intensive care units, ambulances, and bedside with quarantined patients in infectious diseases units. The instruments reviewed here employ new miniaturised analysis circuitry, integrated into the cassette on which the blood sample is applied. These instruments are designed

In recent years it has been demonstrated that loud clicks generate short latency vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP). It has also been demonstrated that skull tap stimulation evokes similar VEMP. In the present study, the differences between the click-induced and the skull-tap induced VEMP were studied in 18 patients at onset of vestibular neuritis. Gentle skull taps were delivered manual

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1990-talet har från olika håll ställts krav på ett ökat elevinflytande över innehåll och arbetsformer i den allmänna skolan. Dessa krav har dels kommit från eleverna själva, dels kommit till uttryck i olika styrdokument. Att så har varit fallet ter sig ganska naturligt, eftersom den tidsanda i vilken vi lever är präglad av individualism. Ett antagande, som stöds aAbstract In the Swedish compulsory school system there is a trend towards increased student influence. School ideologists have for at least ten years strongly emphasised this issue. This tendency is in line with a more general direction in Western societies, which in many aspects has moved toward individualisation. Based on these developments, the main reason for undertaking the presents study was

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av hjärt-kärlsjukdomar skiljer sig mycket mellan olika jordbruksbaserade samhällen, medan de praktiskt taget saknas helt bland samhällen som inte är baserade på jordbruk, såsom jägar- och samlarsamhällen. När man letar efter livsstilsfaktorer som skulle kunna gynna uppkomsten av kardiovaskulära sjukdomar verkar det därför logiskt att fokusera på livsstilen iThe prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) exhibits considerable variation across agrarian societies, whereas they are virtually absent in non-agrarian societies such as hunter-gatherer and horticultural societies. When looking for lifestyle factors which could promote CVD, it therefore seems logical to focus on the agrarian lifestyle and ways in which it departs from a non-agrarian lifestyle

The spontaneous secretion of growth hormone during a 24 hour period and the response of growth hormone to growth hormone releasing hormone was studied in 13 girls who had received treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia that included cranial irradiation with 20-24 Gy in 12-14 fractions. At the time of investigation the girls were at varying stages of puberty and had normal concentrations of thy

We describe the history, construction, and use of a portable walk-in wader trap (i.e., modified Ottenby trap) designed to be used in field expedition conditions. It is rectangular-shaped, 120 x 41 x 32 cm when operational, weighs between 1.5 and 2 kg (depending on materials used) and can be folded flat for easy transportation. It consists of several metal frames filled with fishing net, and has a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen var att studera eventuella skillnader vad gäller förlåtelse beroende av attachmentmönster. Deltagare i studien (N = 359) var gymnasieelever från Malmö. De instrument som användes var Brennan, Clark and Shaver's Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) och Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI). Resultatet visade att ECR:s avoidance dimension var negThe purpose of this dissertation was to study potential differences in forgiveness depending on attachment-styles. The sample (N = 359) consisted of upper secondary school students from Sweden. The instruments that were used after translation and standardization were: Brennan, Clark and Shaver's Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) and Enright Forgiveness Inventory (EFI). The results showed th

Neutral Higgs bosons of the Standard Model (SM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) were searched for in the data collected in 1999 by the DELPHI experiment at centre-of-mass energies between 191.6 and 201.7 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 228 pb(-1). These analyses, in combination with our results at lower energies, set 95% confidence level lower mass bounds on the Stan

Strain Comamonas testosteroni TI, capable of degrading the nonionic surfactant (NIS) nonylphenolethoxylate (OP-10), was used for constructing a pilot cellular biosensor. The lower NIS detection limit for the biosensor was 0.25 mg/l. We studied the substrate specificity of the biosensor with respect to a wide range of organic compounds: surfactants, polyaromatic compounds (PAC), carbohydrates, alco
