Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens fettceller innehåller en energidepå i form av s.k. triglycerider, en glycerolmolekyl med tre påkopplade fettsyror, som kan användas vid behov (fasta, arbete och dylikt). För att kroppens andra celler ska kunna använda fettdepåerna som energikälla, måste fettsyrorna frikopplas från glycerolmolekylen och skickas ut ur fettcellerna till blodet. Fettsyrorna transpoThe primary role of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), an 84 kDa enzyme of 768 amino acids (in the rat protein), is to hydrolyse stored triacylglycerols in adipocytes of white adipose tissue. Catecholamines and insulin regulate lipolysis through cellular signalling. A major target of this regulation is HSL, activated through phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-PK). Insulin activate

Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori och Chlamydia pneumoniae är två mycket vanliga smittämnen i den svenska befolkningen. De vanliga kliniska manifestationerna är magsår respektive luftvägsinfektioner. På senare tid har det också diskuterats huruvida de kan bana väg för sjukdomsmanifestationer även inom andra organsystem. I många fall har de studeras var för sig men betydligt mera sällHelicobacter pylori and Chlamydia pneumoniae are common infectious agents in the Swedish population, causing gastritis ulcers and respiratory infections. The metabolic syndrome is characterised by overweight, insulin resistance, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia. Sera from a patient cohort (n=531) originally examined in 1987-89 were investigated for previous infection of H. pylori and C. pn

Task characteristics such as visual and manual demands influence the postures employed and the muscular load during task execution. According to ergonomic experts at a car assembly plant, these demands are difficult to predict during product and production development and can easily be underestimated. One such task with combined visual and manual demands is the application of deco-tape to the door

Four Swedish municipalities were chosen for closer examination. Municipal energy advisors and represe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bestrålning av allmänheten från radioaktivt cesium efter Tjernobylolyckan. Fältstudier i ett högkontaminerat område i Bryanskregionen i Ryssland. Olyckan i kärnkraftverket i Tjernobyl i Ukraina 1986 orsakade att stora delar av Europa kontaminerades med radioaktiva ämnen, varav 137Cs är det som fortfarande finns kvar pga sin långa halveringstid (30.2 år). BryanskområdetFrom 1990 to 1998, estimations of the effective dose from external as well as internal irradiation from 137Cs and 134Cs were carried out for inhabitants in rural villages in the Bryansk region, Russia, highly contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The villages were situated about 180 km from the Chernobyl power plant and the deposition of 137Cs was in the range 0.9-2.7 MBq m-2. Yearly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar tre områden: 1. implementeringen av Multisystemisk terapi (MST) som en behandlingsmetod inom socialtjänsten i Sverige, 2. implementeringen av ett forskningsprojekt vars mål är att utvärdera MST som behandlingsmetod, 3. utvärdering av MST som behandlingsmetod i jämförelse med traditionell behandling inom socialtjänsten för antisociala ungdomar. StuThis thesis focuses on three areas: 1. the implementation of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) as a treatment method in social services in Sweden, 2. the implementation of a research project that has the aim to evaluate MST as a treatment method, 3. the evaluation of MST as a treatment method compared to traditional social services for antisocial adolescents in Sweden. The first study reports on the imp

It is now becoming increasingly clear that free radicals contribute to brain damage in several conditions, such as hyperoxia and trauma. It has been more difficult to prove that free radical production mediates ischemic brain damage, but it has often been suggested that it may be a major contributor to reperfusion damage, observed following transient ischemia. Recent results demonstrate that cereb

Background: Adult hip dysplasia is one of the few potentially modifiable risk factors for hip osteoarthritis (OA). However, the prevalence of hip dysplasia and the strength of its association with OA are not fullyunderstood.Aims and methods:I. To determine the prevalence of hip dysplasia in a Swedish population and investigate whether the condition was mentioned in radiology reports. The center ed

One of the most common reasons for a firm to merge is that a merger is believed to generate economic efficiency. This argument has different aspects as mergers may yield efficiency gains in various ways. Economists often distinguish between three different classes of efficiencies: Allocative efficiency, productive efficiency and dynamic efficiency. All three classes are relevant in the analysis of

Background: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound are promising imaging modalities to identify non-obstructive plaques likely to cause coronary-related events. We aimed to assess whether combined NIRS and intravascular ultrasound can identify high-risk plaques and patients that are at risk for future major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). Methods: PROSPECT II is an investig

Sverige har en av världens mest generösa föräldraförsäkringar. Föräldraförsäkringen är könsneutralt utformad, men trots detta tar kvinnor ut drygt 75 procent av föräldraledigheten. Syftet med denna uppsats är att, ur ett genusrättsvetenskapligt perspektiv, utreda om en individualiserad föräldraförsäkring borde införas och att genomföra en genuskritisk rättspolitisk studie av rätten genom att appliSweden has one of the world's most generous parental insurance. The parental insurance is designed to be gender neutral, but despite this, women take out more than 75 percent of the parental leave. The purpose of this paper is to, from a gender rights scientific perspective, investigate whether an individualised parental leave should be introduced and to conduct a gender-critical legal policy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Laser Doppler metoder avsedda för mätning av blodflöde baserar sig på det faktum att fotoner skiftar i våglängd när de träffar blodkroppar i rörelse. Den förändrade våglängden registreras och signalen bearbetas varefter resultatet uttrycks i en godtycklig enhet och anses utgöra ett mått på blodflöde. Laser Doppler Perfusion Monitoring (LDPM) är en metod med vilken blodThe operating principle of all laser Doppler methods is based on the fact that incident photons shift in wavelength when interacting with moving blood cells passing through the microvascular network. After photodetection and further signal processing, the recorded parameter can be considered an arbitrary measure of tissue blood flow, and this is referred to as ?perfusion?. Laser Doppler perfusion
