Popular Abstract in Swedish En välfungerande andning med utbyte av syrgas och koldioxid mellan kroppen och omgivningen är en förutsättning för liv. För att detta gasutbyte ska fungera krävs bl. a. att ventilationen, dvs. in- och utflödet av luft i lungorna, står i balans med blodflödet genom lungorna. I lungorna tar blodet emot syrgas som behövs för att cellerna i kroppen ska fungera och samtidigtRespiration relies, among other things, on the balance between regional ventilation and perfusion in the lungs. There are many cardiopulmonary diseases, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left heart failure (LHF), which can affect respiration negatively. The diagnosis of PE, COPD and LHF follows separate diagnostic pathways. However, the symptoms that

This essay examines the philosophical questions posed in Virginia Woolf’s famous novel Mrs Dalloway (1925) set in London in the aftermath of World War I. In her unique tone and poetic aesthetics, Woolf deals with questions about war and its aftermaths, evil and oppressive power, time and temporality, duality of life, fear of suffering and death, sacrifice and suicide but also, most importantly, lo

In this thesis I have discussed the possibility of building a stable and long-lasting peace in a state whose society is considered to be deeply divided ? Bosnia and Herzegovina. The main question to be answered by this study was Which factors facilitate and which factors obstruct stable and long-lasting peace in a deeply divided society? I have examined the post-war constitutional design of Bosnia

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. p-Tolyl acetate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog ethyl p-tolyl carbonate (CAS # 22719-81-9) show that p-tolyl acetate

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. Isobutyl alcohol was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data show that isobutyl alcohol is not genotoxic. Data on isobutyl alcohol provide a calculated M

Background: The Self-Harm Antipathy Scale (SHAS) is a questionnaire designed to measure nurses’ attitudes towards self-harm. This can be useful to improve the quality of care provided to individuals who self-harm. Aim: The purpose of this study was to revise and adapt the SHAS for use in Sweden and evaluate the psychometric properties of this Swedish version (Self-Harm Antipathy Scale–Swedish Revi

The inherent properties of cells and micro-organisms is an under-explored source of specificity for particle sorting. In contrast to standard immunolabeling it allows us to perform fractionation without any chemical preparation of the sample. This improves the accessibility and affordability of the technology. Our contribution in the field is to extend the scope of deterministic lateral displaceme

Objectives To examine the long term mortality associated with preterm delivery in a large population based cohort of women, and to assess for potential confounding by shared familial factors. Design National cohort study. Setting Sweden. Participants All 2 189 477 women with a singleton delivery in 1973-2015. Main outcome measures All cause and cause specific mortality up to 2016, identified from

A strategy for generating potential galectin inhibitors was devised based on derivatization at the C-3′ atom in 3′-amino-N-acetyllactosamine by using structural knowledge of the galectin carbohydrate recognition site. A collection of 12 compounds was prepared by N-acylations or N-sulfonylations. Hydrophobic tagging of the O-3 atom in the N-acetylglucosamine residue with a stearic ester allowed rap

In a joint project between the Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (SCAA) and Lund University, questions concerning organizational aspects - such as organizational climate, team climate, situational leadership, psychosocial working environment - and safety culture are under study. A team-based organization has recently been introduced and a new air traffic control system will soon be installed a

Två förslag till en bättre publiceringsverksamhet vid Område HT och vid Lunds universitet. Rapport från projektet HT-områdets bokpubliceringar. Rapporten innehåller förutom de två förslagen också kort historisk bakgrund, nationell och skandinavisk jämförelse och inventering av HT-forskarnas publiceringar. Dessutom sammanfattas två väsentliga internationella diskussioner: hur universitetsförlagen

Stars near the Sun oscillate both horizontally and vertically. In a previous paper by Binney it was assumed that the coupling between these motions can be modelled by determining the horizontal motion without reference to the vertical motion, and recovering the coupling between the motions by assuming that the vertical action is adiabatically conserved as the star oscillates horizontally. Here, we

According to medieval canon law, a marriage could be declared invalid if the consent had been given through force or fear. This ruling was a natural consequence of the insistence on free consent as the only requirement for a valid marriage. It did, however, entail a number of both practical and theoretical problems. It could be difficult to prove force and fear within the family, but also to defin

The concentrations of water dimer are compared in Ne and p-H-2 matrices at low temperatures, using infrared spectroscopy. Additional data are given for o-D-2 and Ar matrices. For a given monomer concentration, the dimer concentration is significantly higher in solid Ne (or Ar) than in solid p-H-2. In p-H-2, the dimer concentration is only slightly higher than expected for a random distribution of

Popular Abstract in Swedish VIKTEN AV HETEROGENA JORDBRUKSMILJÖER FÖR GRÅSPARVEN Under de senaste 40 åren har vårt odlingslandskap genomgått kraftiga strukturella förändringar som en konsekvens av att jordbruket har intensifierats och effektiviserats. Dessa förändringar har möjliggjort en nödvändig, ökad produktion av spannmål och andra grödor men samtidigt har det haft förödande konsekvenser på dStrong declines of European farmland birds in recent decades are assumed to be caused by decreased food availability resulting from agricultural intensification and concomitant loss of farmland heterogeneity. One of the species suffering particularly strong declines in NW European countries is the house sparrow. In this thesis I investigated the importance of farmland land-use on house sparrow eco

Background: The adoption of air conditioning (AC) is growing rapidly in developing countries across the world which puts a high burden on electricity distribution systems. This development is mostly driven by income growth and building design, but also due to increasing outdoor temperatures and to provide indoor thermal comfort. Current indoor thermal comfort standards are based on western clothin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad arbetar en analytisk kemist med? Exempel på kemiska analyser är att en idrottsman ska dopingtestas eller att eventuella föroreningar i vattnet från en bäck ska bestämmas. Den analytiska kemistens problemställning är vanligtvis att identifiera (kvalitativ analys) och mäta upp (kvantitativ analys) innehållet i ett prov. Ofta är de intressanta ämneshalterna mycket lågaCapillary electrophoresis is characterised by high separation efficiency, applicability to a wide range of compounds, small sample and solvent consumption and simple instrumentation. To improve sensitivity using on-line absorbance detectors, which are hampered by the short optical path length, sample volumes in the microlitre range were concentrated to nanolitre volumes either off-line or on-line.
