Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska (Comprehensive summary in Swedish) Uppföljning av blodtryck (BT), medicinering och njurfunktion efter endovaskulär behandling av njurartärsteno's Bakgrund Förträngning av njuren's tillförande blodkärl, njurartärsteno's (RAS), är den vanligaste sekundära formen av högt BT (hypertension) och svarar för ca 1-5% av hypertensiRenal artery stenosis (RAS) causes hypertension, decreased glomerular filteration rate (GFR), and renal ischemia. RAS is progressive and causes 5-16% of all cases of renal failure. Prevalence of RAS in patients with hypertension is 1-5%. Today percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty (PTRA) with or without stenting is a widely accepted treatment of RAS. Treatment of renal artery occlusion (RAO)

Purpose: Free prostate specific antigen (PSA) in serum consists of heterogeneous molecular subforms. Recently we developed an immunoassay for selective measurement of a subfraction of free PSA called intact PSA, which has been shown to be closely associated with prostate cancer. We assessed the ability of serum intact PSA to discriminate between benign and malignant prostatic disease. Materials an

This thesis concerns the development of negation in the Italian L2 of a group of Swedish adults who live in Italy and acquire the language by formal and spontaneous learning. Various negative expressions and the verbal system were studied in a longitudinal analysis of a corpus with 29 recordings of seven subjects. The recordings consist mainly of spontaneous dialogue. While the development of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemisk vittring har en avgörande betydelse för hur näringsämnen frigörs, ansamlas och kan utnyttjas i mark/växtsystemet. Vittringshastigheten har därför stor betydelse för hur skogs- och jordbrukare kan optimera skogsskötseln och skördeuttaget, inom ramen för ett uthålligt skogsbruk. I avhandlingen studeras vittring av epidot och lermineral för att vidareutveckla den geChemical weathering is one of the most important processes supporting life on Earth. Chemical weathering continuously contributes macronutrients and micronutrients to the soil solution. These recycling, essential elements are used as building blocks for all organic living matter. Chemical weathering is a vital factor in the analysis and understanding of a large number of important environmental is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cykeln som transportmedel har många fördelar för individ och samhälle. Det är ett mycket energisnålt transportmedel, det förorenar inte, bullrar inte, tar liten plats och ger dem som cyklar välbefinnande och motion. Om fler cyklade istället för att åka bil skulle detta medföra trevligare stadsmiljöer. Ökad cykling hade också kunnat bidra till en ökad folkhälsa. För närThis work presents an evaluation of bicycle lane effects on cyclist safety and the ability of bicycles to compete with car traffic. Thirteen Swedish urban streets were studied before and after bicycle lanes were introduced. Data was collected using video recordings, speed studies, road side questionnaires/interviews with cyclists/car drivers, conflict studies and accident analysis. Results showed

Problemformulering: Det ställs alltmer skärpta krav på att förbättra miljö, arbetsmiljö, logistik och ekonomi inom byggproduktion och det krävs därmed att hitta nya metoder som tillmötesgår de nya kraven. Konfektionering har tagits upp som en metod som kan minska byggproduktionens miljöpåverkan och skapa en bättre arbetsmiljö. Om denna metod även kan användas för att effektivisera logistiken och mProblem: In the construction industry there are increasingly higher requirements to reduce the environmental impact and production costs as well as improve the work environment and construction logistics. To meet these new requirements, new production methods are needed. Studies have shown, ready-to-use construction materials can be used in order to improve the environmental impact and the work en

The global demand for fresh food has increased during the past five years and the demand is anticipated to continue growing in the future. The consumers' expectations are also getting higher and higher, which is why it is of great importance that the actors within the food industry meet these requirements to remain competitive. Fresh food is perishable goods which have a short shelf life. The

Det skånska landskapet har sedan 1800talet varit starkt påverkat av lantbruket. Åar har rätats ut, fördjupats och kulverterats, vilket i kombination med en ökad gödsling har lett till ökat näringsläckage som gett konsekvenser i form av minskad biologisk mångfald och övergödning. Ett sätt att minska övergödningen är att anlägga vallbesådda skyddszoner längs vattendrag. Lantbrukare kan få ersättningThe landscape of Scania in southern Sweden has been heavily influenced by agriculture since the 1800s. Rivers have been straightened, deepened and culverted which in combination with increased fertilization has had consequences such as loss of biodiversity and eutrophication. One way to reduce eutrophication is to construct grass seeded buffer zones along watercourses. Farmers can receive compensa

Den här texten behandlar auktorisationsregler, med ett särskilt fokus på lärarlegitimationer. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att avgöra om utformandet av lärarlegitimationsreformen var det riktiga för att uppnå syftet med reformen, men texten fungerar även som en sammanställning av gällande rätt. Det är särskilt viktigt för lärarlegitimationer, där reglerna aldrig satts i något sammanhang. De auktorisThis text is a treatment on occupational licensing, with a focus on certification for teachers. The main purpose is to determine if the format used when the certification was implemented in 2011 was the right way to accomplish the purpose of the reform. The text also works as a summary of applicable law, which is important regarding teachers, since it has never been done before. The examined occup

Degrowth refers to an alternative human society which is simplistic, cooperative and opposite of current growth system which is based on overproduction and overconsumption. The current growth trend is indisputably unsustainable for the future being of the earth and its’ population. Resource depletion, land degradation and climate change have become inevitable due to growth system, overproduction a

Using tracking radars, we investigated the variability of flight directions of long-distance nocturnal passerine migrants across seasons (spring versus autumn migration) and sites at the southern (56A degrees N) and northern (68A degrees N) ends of the Scandinavian Peninsula (Lund versus Abisko). Whilst most migrants at Lund are on passage to and from breeding sites in Fennoscandia, the majority o

This paper concerns mathematical modeling and computational fluid dynamics of back-shocking during hollow fibre ultrafiltration of dextran T500. In this paper we present a mathematical model based on first Principles, i.e., solving the Navier-Stokes equation along with the continuity equation for both the solute and the solvent. We investigate the validity of the estimate On the optimal back-shock

Background: The thermostable beta-glucosidase (TnBgl1A) from Thermotoga neapolitana is a promising biocatalyst for hydrolysis of glucosylated flavonoids and can be coupled to extraction methods using pressurized hot water. Hydrolysis has however been shown to be dependent on the position of the glucosylation on the flavonoid, and e. g. quercetin-3-glucoside (Q3) was hydrolysed slowly. A set of mut

Reactions of the lightly stabilized triosmium cluster [Os-3(CO)(8){mu(3)-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)C6H4}(mu-H)] with tri(2-thienyl)phosphine (PTh3) and tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu(3)) are described and compared to analogous reactions with PPh3. At room temperature, a number of products are isolated: [Os-3(CO)(10)(mu-dppm)] from CO addition, [Os-3(CO)(8)(PR3){mu(3)-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)C6H4}(mu-H)] from phosphine addition

Popular Abstract in Swedish Epilepsi är en allvarlig kronisk neurologisk sjukdom, som drabbar ungefär 1% av befolkningen. Sjukdomen yttrar sig genom plötsliga återkommande krampanfall, som beror på en obalans i hjärnan mellan hämmande (inhibitoriska) och stimulerande (excitatoriska) nervimpulser. När de stimulerande impulserna tar överhand leder detta till överstimulering, också kallad för hyperexEpilepsy is a severe chronic neurological disorder, affecting about 1% of the population. The disease is manifested by spontaneous recurrent seizures, caused by hypersynchronized neuronal activity due to imbalance in the brain between the inhibition and excitation. Symptoms are treated with anti-epileptic drugs, but unfortunately, 30-40% of patients respond poorly to current treatment. Therefore,

I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo

The second part is a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method that is used to eva

Authors: Emma Nilsson and Emma Silverberg Title: People in a crisis are not able to work with change Supervisor: Helene Hansen Assessor: Mikael Sandgren The aim of this study was to examine social workers reasoning on social services support to parents of children placed in compulsory care. This study was based on the Swedish social services law, 6:7 Socialtjänstlagen, that describes that parents

År 1979 införde Sverige ett uttryckligt agaförbud. Stadgandet i 6 kap. 1 § föräldrabalken, (FB) innebär att föräldrar inte får utsätta barn för kroppslig bestraffning eller annan kränkande behandling. Agaförbudet är en markering från lagstiftarens sida om att barn är extra skyddsvärda. Enligt motiven till 6 kap. 1 § FB är det dock oundvikligt att föräldrar erkänns rätten att övervinna fysiskt motsIn year 1979 a ban on corporal punishment was introduced in Swedish law. According to Children and Parents Code (CPC), parents cannot practice any form of physical punishment upon their children. Hence, the ban on corporal punishment can be considered a clear statement declaring that the protection of children is a matter of high relevance in the Swedish society. However, there is an ambiguity in
