Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Patientflödet genom en akutmottagning regleras framförallt av tre typer av faktorer. Dessa rör i tur och ordning inflödet-, genomflödet- och utflödet av patienter. Faktorer som reglerar inflödet rör efterfrågan på sjukvård (t.ex. samhällsdemografi och tillgång på primärvård), medan faktorer som reglerar genomflödet till största delen rör akutmottagningens inteBackground: Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding occurs when the need for ED services outstrips available resources. Causes have been divided into input, throughput, and output factors, of which the last appear to be the most influential. Unavailability of inpatient beds (so-called “access block,” or “hospital crowding”) impairs ED output and is associated with increased waiting times in the ED

The aim of this study was to examine the infiltration rate of water and some parameters affecting it. Especially the land usage, the abundance of roots and macropores were investigated. A field study was carried out on western Java in Indonesia, on the slope of Mount Salak. The study compared four different land uses; i.e. forest, shrub areas, tree plantation and cropland since there was a high o

Glasarkitektur utvecklas ständigt med ökande krav på estetik, funktionalitet, och hållbarhet. Användningen av böjda glaselement blir allt vanligare i modern byggnation. Traditionellt tillverkas krökt glas av floatglas som upphettas över glasets transitionstemperatur och formas till önskad krökning. Denna teknik är tids- och energikrävande och därmed relativt kostsam. Av denna anledning används anGlass architecture continues to evolve with increasing demands for aesthetics, functionality, and durability. The use of curved glass elements is becoming increasingly common in modern constructions. Traditionally, curved glass is made of float glass that is heated above the glass transition temperature and formed into a curved shape. This technique is time- and energy-intensive, and consequently,

Dryland ecosystems are important yet understudied sinks of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), and sources of nitrous oxide (N₂O). Hence, monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and their responses to climate change in these systems is increasingly important. This thesis investigates the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data (between 390 and 1750nm) to predict greenhouse gas fluxes during

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mag-tarmkanalen utgör kroppens största hormon-producerande organ. Många av de hormon-producerande cellernas funktion är ännu okänd och mycket lite är känt om den betydelse de kan ha vid olika sjukdomar i mag-tarmkanalen. I magsäckens syraproducerande del (fundus) finns 4 hormon-producerande celler, av vilka ECL cellen (65 %) och A-lika cellen (25 %) tillsammans utgör caThe ECL cells constitute a prominent endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. They are controlled by circulating gastrin released from G-cells in the antrum. In response to gastrin, they secrete histamine, that in turn stimulates the parietal cell to secrete acid. The first aim of the study was to prepare isolated ECL cells of high purity and to study and identify regul

This thesis describes a combinatorial approach to design and synthesis of three libraries of compounds, referred to as pilicides, designed to target periplasmic chaperones present in uropathogenic Escherichia coli bacteria that are the main cause of urinary tract infections. Periplasmic chaperones are required for assembly of adhesive organelles, i.e. pili, which recognize and bind to specific rec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är uppbyggda av aminosyror som är hopkopplade med varandra och bildar långa kedjor som kan bestå av hundra- eller tusentals aminosyror. Det finns en mängd olika proteiner och de har många olika funktioner. I studierna som beskrivs här, har proteiner som finns på ytan av vissa bakterier studerats. De långa proteinkedjorna i dessa bakteriella ytproteiner är oftPeptostreptococcus magnus and group C/G streptococci are Gram-positive cocci that are part of the normal flora and reside in more or less the same locations in the host. Protein G of group C/G streptococci was originally described as binding IgGFc of several species and later shown to also bind human serum albumin and albumins from various animal species. From albumin-binding strains of P. magnus

The P-type plasma membrane H⁺-ATPases form a group of proteins only found in plants and fungi. The pumping of protons across the plasma membrane, energized by ATP hydrolysis, creates an electrochemical gradient that is essential for solute transport and internal pH regulation. The H⁺-ATPase genes are present as multigene families in the genomes of higher plants and all cell t

Abstract in Undetermined To improve our knowledge of climate change and its impacts on ecosystem services, and to inform local people and governments that need assistance with the development of mitigation and adaptation strategies, climate impacts need to be understood urgently at the smaller scale. On one hand, the microclimate/topoclimate is known to be strongly decoupled from the general macro

Semiconductor nanowires are studied by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) based methods in this work. In the first section, the growth mechanism of gallium arsenide nanowires grown by chemical beam epitaxy is investigated. The nanowires are epitaxially grown from a gallium arsenide substrate by using gold seed particles as catalysts. The growth of gold particle catalysed nanowires is oft

Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has extensive pathology that critically includes the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. This loss leads to debilitating motor features such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms. Intracerebral dopamine cell transplants have been explored for many years as a new approach to treating PD

G protein-coupled receptor 30 (GPR30) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is attracting considerable attention in breast cancer and cardiometabolic regulation. Following reports that GPR30 is required for some rapid estrogen responses, e.g. increased cAMP production and ERK1/2 activity, in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative cells, GPR30 was renamed G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1

The ACE-2 HILLCLOUD experiment was carried out on the island of Tenerife in June-July 1997 to investigate the interaction of the boundary layer aerosol with a hill cap cloud forming over a ridge to the north-east of the island. The cloud was used as a natural flow through reactor to investigate the dependence of the cloud microphysics and chemistry on the characteristics of the aerosols and trace

1. In the rat hepatic artery, the acetylcholine-induced relaxation mediated by endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor (EDHF) is abolished by a combination of apamin and charybdotoxin, inhibitors of small (SK(Ca)) and large (BK(Ca)) conductance calcium-sensitive potassium (K)-channels, respectively, but not by each toxin alone. The selective BK(Ca) inhibitor iberiotoxin cannot replace charybdot

Importance: Meningioma is the most common subsequent neoplasm following cranial irradiation among survivors of childhood cancer, but there are still uncertainties regarding the magnitude of the radiation dose-response association, potential modifiers of radiation risks, and the role of chemotherapy. Objective: To evaluate meningioma risk in survivors of childhood cancer following radiotherapy and

Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement in midlife predicts long-term prostate cancer (PCa) mortality among white men. Objective: To determine whether baseline PSA level during midlife predicts risk of aggressive PCa in black men. Design, setting, and participants: Nested case-control study among black men in the Southern Community Cohort Study recruited between 2002 and 2009. A pr

B cell lymphomas (BCLs) are a group of severe cancers, afflicting both men and women at different ages. Gene expression profiling (GEP), have during the latest decades fundamentally contributed to a better classification and biological understanding of the different BCLs. Most studies using GEP have analyzed mRNA from tumor tissue constituted of both tumor cells and non-malignant bystander cells.
