Methods and results In the national register for congenital heart disease, 653 adults with repaired CoA were identified (mean age 36.9 ± 14.4 years); 344 (52.7%) of them had HTN, defined as either an existing diag

In the so called ‘war against terrorism’ the international humanitarian law was declared as non-applicable to ‘unlawful combatants’ by the Bush administration. The prisoners defined as such would therefore be given a different set of rights than would those who under the third Geneva Convention qualified as ‘prisoners of war’.

Sverige är ett mångkulturellt land i vilket ca 20 procent av befolkningen är utrikes födda. Här lever människor som tillhör olika befolkningsgrupper med skiftande kulturella bakgrunder och livsstilar. Det innebär att svensk besöksnäring idag kommunicerar med en mycket diversifierad svensk målgrupp. Kunskapsläget om personer med utländsk bakgrunds turismkonsumtion i Sverige är dock begränsad.

Nova Lund köpcentrum har årligen närmare 3 miljoner besökare. Här finns stora publika ytor där allmänheten kan röra sig kombinerat med ytor som vanligtvis enbart nyttjas av verksamheterna i fastigheten.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Djurs förmåga att hitta då de förflyttar sig långa sträckor mellan fortplantningsområden och övervintringsområden har fascinerat människor i hundratals år. Det finns flera olika teorier kring hur djur navigerar, till exempel med hjälp av dofter, landmärken, solen, polariserat ljus, stjärnorna eller jordens magnetfält. Att djur skulle kunna använda sig av just jordens maMigration research is a large and diverse field and in my thesis I have focused on the impact of geomagnetic cues on animal orientation, navigation and migratory fuelling. Several animal species from widely different taxa possess the ability to sense and make use of geomagnetic information during migratory or homing events. I used a map showing isolines for magnetic total field intensity and incl

Although South Africa’s growth has outshone expectations for the four most recent years, spatial growth inequalities are still large at the sub-national level in South Africa.

In this thesis, the linkage between spatial economic growth and sub-national governa

Problem: Suspected, but objectively absent, rhinosinusitis constitutes a major cause of visits to the doctor, high health care costs, and the over-prescription of antibiotics, contributing to the serious problem of resistant bacteria. This situation is largely due to a lack of reliable and widely applicable diagnostic methods. Method: A novel method for the diagnosis of rhinosinusitis based on non
