This report has a two-fold objective. -To identify the changing risk management needs in the private and public sectors and the corresponding needs for development of risk analysis methods and related practices. -To list examples of projects where Nordic co-operation between industry, authorities and universities can be effective for increasing the contribution of risk management to industrial gro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ärftlig blindhet orsakas oftast av sjukdomar där näthinnans fotoreceptorer, som ombesörjer omvandlingen av ljus till elektriska impulser, degenererar. Det anses att denna celldödsprocess styrs av ett antal olika mekanismer och projektets mål är att försöka identifiera och karaktärisera dessa mekanismer. Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) är en ärftlig sjukdom där en genetisk def
This report deals with identification of multivariable linear systems of finite order from measurements of input-output signals when the outputs are corrupted by additive random noises. The input-output relations of such systems can be described by a vector difference equation. A canonical form for the matrix coefficients of this equation is proposed and its existence and uniqueness are shown. Thi
In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from
The lucanid beetle Ceruchus chrysomelinus Hochenwarth inhabits forests with a high density of moist red-rotten logs of both coniferous and deciduous trees. This habitat is very rare in Swedish forests of today and so is the species in itself. There are no recent records from the Swedish provinces of Skane, Halland, Vastergotland, Ostergotland and Halsingland, but new localities have recently been
Background: An increase in intestinal permeability and subsequent bacterial translocation has been demonstrated in critical illness. Cellulose derivatives have in the past been shown to reduce gut leakage following liver resection. Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate changes in microbial counts in experimental acute pancreatitis and the effect of pre-treatment with cellulose deriva
Four kitchens, each with a different work load, were used to evaluate the microbiological risk of utilizing blasting granules in a new type of warewash machine. The granules, plastic pellets 3.5 - 3.5 mm, are recirculated together with the dishwater in the machine, and when the dishwater is expelled, the granules remain in the machine until the next day. Samples of soiled dishwater and tap water w
To investigate a putative involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in supporting neuroblastoma cell proliferation, SK-N-BE(2) neuroblastoma cells were transfected with expression vectors coding for the C2 and V5 regions from different PKC isoforms. These structures have been suggested to inhibit the activity of their corresponding PKC isoform. The PKC fragments were fused to enhanced green f
Cross-sectional studies have reported strong correlations between plasma levels of complement C3, insulin, and glucose. This prospective study explored whether elevated levels of C3, C4, and other inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs; fibrinogen, orosomucoid, α1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) are associated with the development of diabetes. Plasma proteins were measured in 2,
Hylander treated 144 species of Hieracium sect. Hieracium found in Scandinavian parks, 132 of which were described for the first time. However, he did not supply any determination key, only a few species were illustrated and hints about the differences between species were few. In addition, the species concept of Hylander was obviously much narrower than what has been agreed upon by those working
Attempting to avoid some of the most common methodological problems involved in research on sexual child abuse, we collected data on crimes, perpetrators, and sanctions in all convicted cases of sexual child abuse in a defined population during a 5-year period. This approach provided amply documented and ascertained cases with precise definitions and descriptions of the crimes involved, no clinica
To elucidate the nature of the acid sites of the V2O5(WO3)/TiO2 catalyst upon K2O addition and its relation to the selective reduction of NO with NH3, measurements were made by means of infrared and Raman spectroscopy, NH3 chemisorption, and NO reduction measurements as a function of the K2O loading. The catalytic activity was found to decrease rapidly with the K2O loading, irrespective of the sim
Conclusions. The results indicate that SOM of extreme duration, and maybe also the treatment of SOM, are risk factors for developing permanent hearing loss, both conductive and sensorineural. Objective. Fluctuating or persisting hearing loss of varying degrees is known to accompany secretory otitis media ( SOM). The aim of this study was to detect possible hearing sequelae in young adults who had
In recent years domestic violence has become an issue of major importance in Sweden. This is a fact to be observed in mass media but also in changes made in legislation. As concern and attention raises, new victim groups are "discovered". Among these we find women who have come to Sweden as refugees, through their marriage to Swedish men, or when reunited with a husband who arrived earlier. These
In the present work, a numerical study has been performed to simulate the effect of free-stream turbulence, length scale and variations in rotational speed of the rotor on heat transfer and fluid flow for a transonic high-pressure turbine stage with tip clearance. The stator and rotor rows interact via a mixing plane, which allows the stage to be computed in a steady manner. The focus is on turbin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Programvara spelar en allt viktigare roll i industriella produkter. Bilar, flygplan, telefoner, hemelektronik, kärnkraftverk m.m. innehåller alla programvara. När man utvecklar programvara blir det ofta fel i produkterna, fel som kan vara mycket allvarliga för funktion och säkerhet. Ett första steg i att minska dessa fel är att uppskatta hur många fel som finns i produk
