Arsenic is a very potent toxicant. One major susceptibility factor for arsenic-related toxicity is the efficiency of arsenic metabolism. The efficiency, in turn, is associated with non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arsenic methyltransferase AS3MT on chromosome 10q24. However, the mechanism of action for these SNPs is not yet clarified. Here, we assessed the influence of gene
Inom ramen för det svenska forskningsprojektet Taktik och metodik vid brand i undermarksanläggningar har ett enkelt planeringsverktyg utvecklats som bl a erbjuder stöd till beslutsfattare involverade i planeringen av räddningsinsatser i väg- och järnvägstunnlar. Verktyget, som har utvecklats vid Lunds universitet, heter TuFT och är en förkortning av Tunnel Fire Tools. TuFT kan beskrivas som ett myWithin the Swedish research project Rescue tactics and methodology during fires in underground facilities, a simple decision support tool has been developed. The tool can, for example, aid decision makers involved in the early phase of road and rail tunnel fire risk assessments. The tool has been developed at Lund University and has been termed TuFT, which is an abbreviation for Tunnel Fire Tools.
BACKGROUND: We compared the association of levosimendan or dobutamine with norepinephrine for the maintenance of systemic and hepatosplanchnic perfusion during early endotoxemic shock. METHODS: Twenty anesthetized pigs (26.8 +/- 0.5 kg) were instrumented with flow probes and catheters to monitor systemic and regional perfusion as described in our companion article in this issue of the journal. Two
Experience with crash prediction modeling has confirmed the importance of traffic volume, not only as exposure but also as a predictive variable. For intersection-related collisions, for example, angle collisions or any collisions involving turning vehicles, traffic volumes on both intersecting roads are necessary for sufficient prediction of crash count These collisions occur not only at intersec
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig svensk sammanfattning Har allvarliga infektioner orsakade av bakterien Haemophilus influenzae försvunnit? En undertyp av H. influenzae, typ b (Hib), var tidigare en fruktad orsak till struplocksinflammation, hjärnhinneinflammation och svår blodförgiftning hos små barn. Problemet var så stort att allmän vaccination mot Hib infördes i många länder i böWhat is the current status of Haemophilus influenzae as an agent of invasive infection in Sweden? H. influenzae type b (Hib) used to be a common cause of meningitis, epiglottitis and severe sepsis in young children. In the late 1980’s an effective conjugated vaccine against Hib was developed and a dramatic fall in Hib incidence was observed in countries that implemented vaccination. This includes
We hypothesized that habitats differing in water flow regime would differ in bacterial function either because of differences in the local environment, in bacterial community composition (BCC), or in the mechanism shaping BCC (community assembly). In 20 lakes and 17 inlet streams BCC was analyzed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism of the gene coding for 16S ribosomal RNA, and bac
Due to insufficient knowledge on preschool teacher reporting obligations, studies show that fewer reports are made regarding children that might need help. The aim of the study was to illustrate how preschool teachers interpret and apply the law on reporting obligations in preschool activities and to illustrate the collaboration between preschool and social services. What does preschool teachers t
Limited access to formal banking leaves large shares of the population in developing countries underbanked or unbanked. One tool believed to enhance financial inclusion is the financial service mobile money, which has spread quickly especially in Africa. The mobile service offers payment, transfer and banking services to low rates and without the need of a bank account. In Lesotho, mobile money wa
Corporate Governance, som begrepp, har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, både nationellt och internationellt, i debatten kring hur företag skall ledas. Den teoribildning som ligger till grund för begreppet corporate governance har drag av såväl företagsekonomi som juridik. Inom företagsekonomin har det länge funnits teorier om vad som är ett effektivt corporate governance arbete
Dagens TV-program bygger i de flesta fall på ett bakomliggande TV-format. Formaten har under de senaste åren blivit en allt viktigare del av TV-industrin och idag är de föremål för en handel som årligen omsätter miljardbelopp. I takt med att marknaden för format expanderat har ökande konkurrens inom mediebranschen gjort att striden om TV-tittarna hårdnat. TV-bolagen har tvingats fokusera allt mer The television programs of today are in most cases based on an underlying television format. The use of TV formats has in recent years become an increasingly important part of the television industry and today they are subject of a billion dollar trade. As a result of the format market's expansion and the increased competition within the media industry the battle for viewers has intensified. T
How many times have you heard that if children are in church they should be quiet and still? It was common to hear when I was young that children should go out as soon as they started making any noise. It was and is always a pleasure for everyone to hear the cute children singing a pretty song in church but afterwards there should be silence again! What I want is for the congregation to accept the
Syftet med denna uppsats var att via en studie undersöka hur nosologi används i diagnostiska sammanhang, och teorisera om hur denna process kan utvecklas. Studien undersökte individers korrekthet i bedömningen av från-eller närvaron av symtom i ICD-10, samt deras logiska förhållande. 26 respondenter som under sin utbildningstid avslutat en kurs i psykiatrisk diagnostik genomförde en enkätundersöknThe purpose of this study, divided into two parts, was to research and review on how nosological methods are used and can be developed in a clinical environment. A survey was performed, where 26 students that have completed a course in psychiatric diagnostics answered true or false statements about the presence of specific symptoms and their logical connection in three selected diagnoses from ICD-
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda kriminaliseringen av våldtäkt inom äktenskap.

According to traditional research in subjective well-being, the more pleasant emotions we experience, the more satisfied with life we are. But according to newer research, our physical and mental health, including satisfaction with life, also depends on the emotional diversity between the positive and negative emotions we experience, and the difference between the emotions we desire and those we a
