The aim of this thesis was to study maternal emotional impact on the fetus and on pregnancy outcome. The thesis comprises five papers, which emanate from a prospective study regarding life situation, the experience of pregnancy, anxiety (Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety),and life events in nulliparous women, conducted in Malmö during 1988-1989. Examinations of fetal hemo-dynamics, fetal movements,
MASTER (MAnaging Speeds of Traffic on European Roads) aims to provide recommendations for speed management strategies and policies and to elaborate guidelines for the development of innovative speed management tools. Within the framework of the project, field trials with a car equipped with a speed limiter were carried out in three “regional typical” European countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, an
Popular Abstract in Swedish EG-fördragets regler om varors fria rörlighet är ett centralt område inom de Europeiska gemenskapernas rättsordning. Detta rättsområdet har stor betydelse i det praktiska rättslivet, såväl för offentlig förvaltning som för enskilda företag. I denna bok behandlas spörsmål rörande EG-fördragets regler om icke-tariffära handelshinder (artiklarna 30, 34 och 36). Ända sedanThis thesis concerns the Articles 30, 34 and 36 of the EC-Treaty and conflicts of competence between the Community and the Member States. It deals especially with the delimitation between community concerns and national concerns in the field of non-tariff barriers to trade in community law. A new perspective concerning the application of Articles 30 and 34 of the EC-Treaty is introduced. It is arg
The issue of participation is of interest to scholars in law because of its relation to new forms of governance and regulation (Black 2000, 2001; de Burca and Scott 2006). Empirical studies of participation in biotechnology licensing show however that such procedures “itself may cause serious trouble when it is embedded in a formal procedure with a relatively strong legal framework.” (Bora & H
We discuss mass transfer in eccentric binaries containing a white dwarf and a neutron star (WD-NS binaries). We show that such binaries are produced from field binaries following a series of mass transfer episodes that allow the white dwarf to form before the neutron star. We predict the orbital properties of binaries similar to the observed WD-NS binary J1141+6545, and show that they will undergo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammatoriska luftvägssjukdomar såsom astma och rinit är några av de folksjukdomar som trots den moderna läkarvetenskapen uppvisat en ökad prevalens de senaste decennierna. En allergisk reaktion och efterföljande inflammation tros ligga bakom många av de förändringar som karakteriserar astmatiska luftvägar tex infiltration av vita blodkroppar och extravasering av plasEpithelial damage may contribute to the pathology in airway diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. However, the distribution of epithelial shedding in inflammatory airway diseases and, particularly, the ensuing repair processes are largely unknown. In the present studies we have developed novel in vivo techniques to explore epithelial repair mechanisms and associated tissue responses occuring in gu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur slutar det? Är inte detta en fråga vi ofta vill ha besvarad? Så är åtminstone fallet i min avhandling, närmre bestämt gäller det här slutet på kromosomerna, de så kallade telomererna. Telomerer definieras som den DNA/proteinstruktur som avslutar linjära kromosomer. Gener återfinns ej i denna region vilken dock har andra viktiga funktioner. Kromosomer utan telomerer Telomeres in Chironomus consist of long complex tandem DNA repeats, which in C. pallidivittatus have been shown to extend to the extreme end of chromosomes. In C. pallidivittatus the telomeric repeats are present in large blocks, 50-200kb in size, most of them belonging to four major subfamilies. The main issue of this thesis has been to elucidate possible functional roles for these different subf
Education as a social right has been gaining strong prominence in the Nordic countries transition towards the post-industrial society. I focused the Swedish educational system. The study finds that the right to education turned into a moral duty to be an enlightened citizen. The interviewees’ stigmatize vocational programmes and encourage pupils to choose ‘right’ meaning school-based education. A
Popular Abstract in Swedish En bakteries förmåga att orsaka sjukdom beror till viss del på vilka molekyler, så kallade virulensfaktorer, som bakterien kan utsöndra eller har på sin yta, samt på hur effektivt värdens immunförsvar är. I människans försvar mot infektioner spelar inflammation och koagulation en stor roll. Exempelvis kan infektionen avgränsas med ett olösligt koagel och vita blodkroppaLife-threatening conditions from bacterial infections are a major clinical problem. During a severe infection, the host responds by a massive release of pro-inflammatory mediators together with a systemic activation of systems such as the coagulation, fibrinolytic, and complement systems. These events could result in the development of complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulation a
The biotechnology industry has grown considerably over the past twenty years, and the revolution within the field of molecular biology has dramatically improved the possibilities of producing proteins and other important biomolecules. The product of interest will be obtained in a multi-component solution and some challenging purification work has to be performed to recover the target molecule in a
