When did the Reformation end? Reformation, confessionalization and the representation of Martin Luther in Swedish 16th-century printIn the past decades, Swedish scholars have used the concept of the Reformation to refer to a long process of religious change in Sweden between 1527 and 1593. The influence from the term ”the long reformation” used in the Anglo-Saxon world is tangible. Instead, this e

Popular Abstract in Swedish "Män födda 1914" är en studie som påbörjades 1982 för att studera hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Studien bedrivs vid Institutionen för samhällsmedicin vid Universitetssjukhuset MAS. Alla män, födda jämn månad 1914 och bosatta i Malmö, inbjöds att deltaga. Totalt inbjöds 621 män, då 68 år gamla, och av dessa deltog 500. Då man jämförde deltagare med icke-deltagare kunde man k"Men born in 1914" is a prospective cohort study on the epidemiology of cardiovascular disease. The study is run by the Department of Community Medicine, Lund University, Malmö. Five hundred men participated in the study when it started with a baseline examination in 1982/83. The men were then 68 years old. The psychological part of the study included tests of cognitive function and the serial Col

The Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveals thick coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association representing a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of the sandur sediments suggests a pre-Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) age. Most acquired ages are pre-Saalian (>200 ka) and we regard each of thes

The number of electrically driven loads in a modern vehicle is constantly increasing. Many loads that former were mechanically driven will in the future be driven by electricity. This implies that a number of electronic systems have to be packed together in the limited space in a vehicle. When different electronic systems are placed close to each other, there is always a risk for electromagnetic i

Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the most commonly used animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CIA is induced in susceptible mouse strains after immunization with heterologous type II collagen (CII). In mice of the H-2q haplotype rat CII (rCII) is used whereas in mice of the H-2r haplotype bovine CII is utilized. The broad objective of this thesis was to gain an understanding of th

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the association between various measures of adiposity and all-cause mortality in Swedish middle-aged and older men and women and, additionally, to describe the influences of age and sex on these associations. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES: A prospective analysis was performed in a cohort of 10,902 men and 16,814 women ages 45 to 73 years who participated in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har en omfattande omstrukturering ägt rum av den psykiatriska vården. Verksamheterna vid de gamla mentalsjukhusen har avvecklats genom en omfattande nerdragning av slutenvårdplatser. Psykiatrins långtidssjuka patienter skulle återföras till det sociala liv de under lång tid varit avskärmade ifrån. I samband med omorganiseringen till den s kIn the past few decades a comprehensive restructuring of psychiatric care has taken place in Sweden. The activities of the traditional closed institutions have been curtailed through a drastic reduction in the number of beds available in such institutions. "Day treatment," has arisen as a new form of intensive outpatient care in the new, geographically localized psychiatric care of patients with l

A hypothesis regarding the mechanism causing salt frost scaling on Portland cement-bound materials is described. It is assumed that deterioration is due to osmotic micro ice body growth, as has been previously proposed for frost deterioration of moisture-isolated specimens of cement-bound materials. In moisture-isolated specimens, this ice body growth stops when the micro structure is drained to a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kaféet är en mötesplats. Alla möten vilar på gränser - på gränser mellan de som möts, som umgänget frambringar. ”Kafékultur, kommunikation och gränser” är en studie av det sociala livet på kaféer, som utvecklar den socialpsykologiska innebörden av gränsen. Den kan ses som ett bidrag till förståelsen av vår tids informella och elementära sociala liv – intressant inte minThe café is a social meeting place. An as yet un-moulded aspect of social life is boundaries – how meetings rest on boundaries between participants that their intercourse brings forth. The aim of this dissertation is to study the café as a sociological and social–psychological phenomenon and at the same time contribute to forming the social–psychological aspect of boundaries. The study also contri

Between 1991 and 1994 the number of beds in the surgical clinic at a central hospital in Southern Sweden was cut back by almost 50%. To develop the nursing care and to control the effects of the budgetary cuts, an intervention, including nursing care development, of an organization that would secure continuity in the nurse-patient relationship, individually planned care and quality assurance for a

The recycling heparan sulfate (HS)-containing proteoglycan glypican-1 (Gpc-1) is processed by nitric oxide (NO)-catalyzed deaminative cleavage of its HS chains at N-unsubstituted glucosamines. This generates anhydromannose (anMan)-containing HS degradation products that can be detected by a specific antibody. Here we have attempted to identify the intracellular compartments where these products ar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling inom forskarutbildningsämnet arbetsmiljöteknik beskriver nyutvecklade provtagnings- och analysmetoder för att undersöka hur reaktionsbenägna luftföroreningar uppkommer och sprids i arbetsmiljön. Antalet människor som drabbas av allergier har ökat de senaste årtiondena. Många av de mekanismer som ger upphov till allergier och överkänslighetsreaktioner kMany sources of airborne contaminants have always been present in various work environments. With the development of thermosetting plastic systems, the use of reactive chemical compounds was greatly increased and thus also the risk of exposure to reactive and potentially hazardous compounds. Exposure can occur in many situations, not only at the workplace where the raw materials are handled. The f

The thesis is a reception study and the focus of the research is on what happens during the reading process when an upper secondary school class reads fiction. The theoretical basis consists of theories of reading as transaction and the envisionment-building and dialogic classroom. A process-based and relational perspective on reading, writing and oral exchange in teaching has been central. The e

BACKGROUND: Endothelium dysfunction is believed to play a role in the development of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the suitability of organ culture as a model for endothelium dysfunction. METHODS: The isometric tension was recorded in isolated segments of the rat mesenteric artery branch, before and after organ culture for 20 h. Vasodilatation was expressed a

Heparan sulfate chains have been found to be associated with amyloid deposits in a number of diseases including transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Diverse lines of evidence have linked proteoglycans and their glycosaminoglycan chains, and especially heparan sulfate, to the metabolism of the prion protein isoforms. Glypicans are a family of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored, heparan sul

This study investigated eyewitnesses’ memory and confidence accuracy for action information (what happened at the crime scene), and detail information (descriptions of persons, objects, time and place). In Experiment 1, 89 participants watched a film and participated in one of four conditions: Laboratory discussion, Family discussion, Retell and Control, the first three with five meetings each. Th

The human molecular chaperone protein DNAJB6 was recently found to inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils from polyglutamine peptides associated with neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease. We show in the present study that DNAJB6 also inhibits amyloid formation by an even more aggregation-prone peptide (the amyloid-beta peptide, (Aβ42)(2), implicated in Alzheimer's disease)in

Environmental and process control applications have needs for sensors that operate continuously or repeatedly, making them applicable to batch measurement and flowing product stream measurement. Additionally, for lactose monitoring in dairy-processing plants, the sensors must have sufficient flexibility to handle a wide range of substrate concentration and be resilient to withstand wide pH excursi
