The aim of this study was to examine if endothelin ETB receptor-mediated contraction occurred in isolated segments of rat coronary arteries during organ culture. Presence of contractile endothelin ETB receptors was studied by measuring the change in isometric tension in rings of left anterior descending coronary arteries isolated from hearts of rats as response to application of the selective endo
Handheld mobile phones were introduced in Denmark and Sweden during the late 1980s. This makes the Danish and Swedish populations suitable for a study aimed at testing the hypothesis that long-term mobile phone use increases the risk of parotid gland tumors. In this population-based case-control study, the authors identified all cases aged 20-69 years diagnosed with parotid gland tumor during 2000
Animal models greatly facilitate understanding of transmission, pathogenesis and immune responses in HIV and SIV infection and provide models for studies on the effect of candidate drugs or vaccines. However, there are several aspects that one should consider when drawing conclusions from results obtained from animal models. First, the genetic relationship of primate lentiviruses cannot be disrega
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blommor använder färg och doft för att locka till sig pollinatörer. Hur använder sig svärmare av dessa olika signaler för att hitta blomman? För att få svar på denna fråga undersöktes två arter av svärmare, en dagaktiv, Macroglossum stellatarum, och en nattaktiv, Deilephila elpenor. Båda arterna har färgseende och den nattaktiva svärmaren kan skilja på olika färger äveFlowers use different cues to attract pollinators including colour and odour. How do hawkmoths use these cues to find the flowers? This question was investigated in two species of hawkmoth, the diurnal species, Macroglossum stellatarum, and the nocturnal species, Deilephila elpenor. Both species have colour vision and D. elpenor can discriminate colours under very dim light intensities. Both speci
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of acute thrombo-embolic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery (AOSMA) in a population-based study. MATERIAL: All clinical (n=23,446) and forensic (n=7569) autopsies performed in the city of Malmo between 1970 and 1982 (population 264,000-230,000 inhabitants). The autopsy rate was 87%. METHODS: Calculation of the incidence of AOSMA with intestinal gangre
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mitt försöksmaterial utgjordes av Festuca ovina, fårsvingel, som är ett mycket vanligt gräs och tillhör familjen Poaceae. Fårsvingel är en perenn korsbefruktare och spridd över den tempererade zonen i Euroasien och Nordamerika. Släktet Festuca är uppdelat i smalbladiga svinglar, dit fårsvingel hör, och bredbladiga svinglar. Släktet Lolium, dit rajgrFestuca ovina, sheep's fescue is a widely distributed perennial outbreeder that belongs to the grass family Poaceae and is very common in the northern temperate zone. The genus Festuca s.l. is partitioned into fine-leaved fescues to which F. ovina belongs, and broad-leaved fescues to which the genus Lolium is a close relative. Wide crosses within the Festuca-Lolium
Deterioration of concrete structures is a worldwide problem. Environmental exposure is known to affect concrete strength in structures. While moisture affects rebound values by lowering them, carbonation does the opposite. The aim of the study was to determine the in-situ concrete strength of three bridge elements, namely, pier, abutment and deck and evaluate the environmental conditions such as m
Bibliometric impact analyses show that Swedish research has less international visibility than Danish research. When taking a global view on all subject fields and selecting publications cited higher than the 90th percentile, i.e., the Top 10 %—publications, the Swedish Research Council shows that although Sweden ranks 15 % above world average, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland rank 35–40 %
Denna uppsats övergripande syfte har varit att redogöra för och analysera gällande upphovsrätt i förhållande till tillhandahållandet av en länk som leder till olagligen publicerat material. Ämnet är högaktuellt då EU-domstolen så sent som i höstas meddelade en dom i det så kallade GS Media-målet, där denna typ av länkning behandlades för första gången. Analysen har gjorts utifrån upphovsrättshavThis thesis investigates the regulation of copyright infringement, in relation to the provision of a link that leads to illegally published works. The topic is highly relevant, since the CJEU recently handed down a judgment in the so called GS Media case, where linking to work published without the consent of the rights holder, was assessed for the first time. The analysis is written from a copyr
Sverige införde år 2009 bestämmelsen kontakt med barn i sexuella syften i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel paragraf 10 a som kriminaliserar möte med barn i sexuellt syfte, s.k. grooming. Bestämmelsen tillkom två år efter att Sveriges dittills största nätsexhärva, målet mot ”Alexandramannen”, hade avgjorts i Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge. Under de åtta år som bestämmelsen har funnits har antalet laIn 2009 Sweden introduced a legislation named contact with children for sexual purposes in the sixth chapter, section 10 a in the Swedish Penal Code, criminalizing grooming. The provision followed two years after the judgement from the Court of Appeal of Skåne and Blekinge over the “Alexandra man” case, the then biggest child sex exploitation case in Sweden. During the eight years of existence of
This thesis aims to contribute to the theological discussion of how a critical and constructive pneumatology could be seen in the context of the Church of Sweden today. To achieve this purpose, I analyze a Lutheran view of the Holy Spirit in the confession of the Church of Sweden and a feminist criticism. The questions asked are: How does a Lutheran view of the Holy Spirit look according to the co
This bachelor’s thesis in statistics explores frequentist and bayesian methods for parameter estimation and compares their usefulness when applied to opinion polls of party sympathies in the Swedish political system. Through simulation in R, random samples are generated from a population modelled after the Swedish electorate at various points during the 2010s and 2020s. The party for which each in
Internet of Things (IoT), det vill säga fysiska objekt med inbyggd elektronik som kan kopplas upp mot internet och styras eller utbyta data över nätet, har idag blivit en självklar del i många personers vardag. Det kan vara allt från hälsoarmband och kylskåp, till glödlampor och termostater. Som förutspås har vi dock ännu inte sett det stora genombrottet för denna teknik och vad den kan komma att The Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. physical objects with embedded electronics that can be connected to the internet and be controlled or exchange data over the network, has become an integral part of many people's daily lives. IoT devices can be anything from fitness trackers and refrigerators to light bulbs and thermostats. However, as is being predicted, we have yet to see the major breakthr
Motorfordonsbranschen har sedan nästan 20 år tillbaka reglerats av gruppundantag. Det har dock kunnat konstateras att konkurrensen inte varit tillräcklig på den gemensamma marknaden. Leverantörerna har kunnat använda sig av kombinerade exklusiva och selektiva distributionssystem och därigenom i praktiken kunnat uppnå en marknadsuppdelning. Inommärkeskonkurrensen har varit bristfällig då återförsäl
In this thesis I have investigated pauses in writing in word-internal contexts and clause boundaries. I have been looking at the differences between 15-year-olds and adults with dyslexia and been focusing on how many pauses and how much pause time they have in these contexts. People with dyslexia have difficulties coding words, which mean that they are bad spellers and readers. Normally we automat
Nyligen lades ett lagförslag fram som föreslår att en ny paragraf ska införas i aktiebolagslagen som föreskriver att styrelseledamöterna i aktiemarknadsbolag och statligt helägda bolag ska vara representerade till minst fyrtio procent av vardera kön. Detta innebär att det genomsnittliga antalet kvinnliga styrelseledamöter i börsbolagen måste höjas med 8 procentenheter från nuvarande 32 procent. OmA legislative proposal suggesting that a new article is introduced in the Swedish Companies Act which states that the boards of directors of certain public companies and all wholly-owned government companies should consist of at least 40 percent of each gender was recently launched in Sweden. This means that the average number of female directors of the public companies needs to increase by 8 perc
The purpose of this study was to examine the Minnesota model and the meaningful moments experienced by people who have gone through the Minnesota treatment. Our aim was also to analyze this treatment from an interactionist perspective using the turning points theory, the labeling theory, Ervin Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective and, the interactionist perspective view on the emotion shame. We hav
The essay "Iona Inspired Services in the Church of Sweden - A Study of the Weekly Mass within the Diocese of Lund", written by Anna Nilsson, at Lund University Center for Theology and Religious Studies, and examined 2009-11-12. Initially, what gave ground to this essay is a personal interest in liturgy and worship, from which I have developed a deeper interest in the liturgy of Iona Abb
De perspektiv av blankningslagstiftningen som kommer att lyftas fram i uppsatsen är inte enbart de nationella utan även de europeiska. Den europeiska harmoniseringen har inte uppnått så stora resultat på det skatterättsliga området, vilket beror på den starka suveräniteten som funnits historiskt när det gäller ländernas egna skattesystem. Fokus kommer i huvudsak att ligga på de skatterättsliga effThe perspectives of short-selling rules that will be highlighted in the paper are not only national but also European. The European harmonization has not achieved such great results in the tax area, which is due to the strong sovereignty that existed historically in terms of countries own tax system. The focus will mainly be on the fiscal impact of the phenomenon of short selling, but also the civ
BackgroundImmunosuppressed patients are particularly vulnerable to severe infection from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), risking prolonged viremia and symptom duration. In this study we describe clinical and virological treatment outcomes in a heterogeneous group of patients with severe immunosuppression due to various causes suffering from COVID-19 infection, who
