Denna kvalitativa studie genomfördes på fem vårdcentraleri Skåne. Anledningen till val av ämne för undersökningen var att få utökade kunskaper inom transkulturell omvårdnad,som sjuksköterskor sedan kan använda sig av i sitt arbete. Intervjuer gjordes med nio sjuksköterskor som arbetade i områden där tvärkulturella möten hörde till vardagen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka på vilket sätt sjuks

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen presenterar en experimentell studie av urlakning av betong orsakat av vatten som tränger igenom betongen, eller av diffusion av joner till vatten på uppströmssidan. Urlakningsförloppet och dess effekter modelleras med finita-element-metoden.

The two isoforms of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), GAD67 and GAD65, synthesize the neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid in neurons and pancreatic β-cells. Previous studies suggest that GAD67 is a soluble cytosolic protein, whereas GAD65 is membrane-associated. Here we study the intracellular distribution of GAD67 in neurons, pancreatic β-cells, and fibroblasts transfected either with GAD65 and

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether national antiretroviral therapy (ART) coverage is associated with changes in the living arrangements of older adults.DESIGN: Retrospective analysis using 103 nationally representative surveys from 28 African countries between 1991 and 2015.METHODS: The sample consisted of individuals aged at least 60 years. We investigated how three measures of living arrangements

Våra ögon är viktiga, inte bara för vårt seende, utan också för att synkronisera vår inre biologiska klocka med dygnets 24 timmar. Den biologiska klockan som styr människors dygnsrytm regleras främst av det mönster av ljus och mörker som vi utsätts för under dygnet.Tidigare trodde man att de klassiska fotoreceptorerna, tapparna och stavarna, var de enda ljuskänsliga cellerna i ögat. På 1980-talet

Elevated concentrations of inorganic arsenic, one of the most potent environmental toxicants and carcinogens, have been detected in well water around Lake Poopó, Bolivia. This study aimed to assess human exposure to arsenic in villages around Lake Poopó, and also to elucidate whether the metabolism and detoxification of arsenic in this population is as efficient as previously indicated in other An

The emergence of antibiotic resistance is a growing problem worldwide. Numerous studies have demonstrated that heavy metals facilitate the spread of bacterial drug-resistance in the environment. However, the actions and mechanisms of metals at relatively low sub-lethal levels (far below the minimal inhibitory concentration [MIC]) on antibiotic resistance remain unclear. In this study, we investiga

The end-Triassic mass extinction (c. 201.6 Ma) was one of the five largest mass-extinction events in the history of animal life. It was also associated with a dramatic, long-lasting change in sedimentation style along the margins of the Tethys Ocean, from generally organic-matter-poor sediments during the Triassic to generally organic-matter-rich black shales during the Jurassic. New core material

This paper extends the Common Correlated Effects Pooled (CCEP) estimator to homogeneous dynamic panels. In this setting CCEP suffers from a large bias when the time series dimension (T) is fixed. We develop a bias-corrected estimator that is valid for a multi-factor error structure provided that a sufficient number of cross-sectional averages, and lags thereof, are added to the model. We show that
