Popular Abstract in SwedishDenna studie utgår från tanken att ett samhälle kan ses som en grupp individer förenade i ett nätverk av sociala relationer. Nyckeln till förståelsen av samhället ligger därför i studiet av dessa sociala nätverk som den praktik (mikronivå) vari de sociala strukturerna (makronivån) reproduceras och förändras.Syftet med studien är att utifrån de sociala nätverken studera hThe aim of the study is to examine, using the social networks as a starting-point, the way a local community is constructed in a specific historical context, namely the industrial community of Limhamn in southern Sweden at the time of the Industrial Revolution 1870-1914. In 1870 the Skånska Cement Company initiated a large-scale extraction of limestone in the area and soon had cement works built i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ämnen som har stor löslighet i vatten kallas i regel för "hydrofila", vilket betyder "vattenälskare". Exempel på sådana ämnen är socker, koksalt, ättika och etanol. Dessa ämnen består av små molekyler. Det finns emellertid även ämnen som består av stora molekyler och som också har stor löslighet i vatten, t. ex. gelatin, stärkelse och agar. En annan grupp av ämnen har l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Som skydd mot infektioner och andra omgivningshot har högre organismer utvecklat olika försvarssystem, där det mest betydelsefulla brukar sammanfattas under begreppet immunsystem. I detta ingår olika typer av specialiserade celler med ursprung i kroppens blodbildande organ, benmärgen. Den av immunsystemets olika celltyper som är viktigast för att skydda mot bakterieinfeThe serine proteases cathepsin G, leukocyte elastase, proteinase 3, and the inactive protease homologue azurocidin, stored in the azurophil granules of neutrophils, belong to a hematopoietic serine protease superfamily with members in mature effector cells of bone marrow origin. Promonocytic U-937 cells were used for studying the biosynthesis of cathepsin G and leukocyte elastase by biosynthetic r

Malmö University uses ECTS grades (A to Fail) in parallel with Swedish grades for some courses. During 2008 and 2009 I was course director for the course Masters Thesis at the International Masters Programme for Public Health at Malmö University, Sweden. After our first examination it was evident that lecturers from different backgrounds had widely disparate grading criteria and the same quantitat

Healthcare staff and students have a great risk of developing musculoskeletal symptoms. One cause of this is heavy load related work activities such as manual handling, in which the quality of individual work technique may play a major role. Preventive interventions and well-defined educational strategies to support movement awareness and long-lasting movement changes need to be developed. The aim

Interaction of mono- and disaccharides, polysaccharide particles and yeast cells with boronate-containing copolymers (BCC) of N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA) with NN-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA) or N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) was studied. The binding of saccharides to BCC of NIPAM resulted in a shift of its phase transition temperature (Delta T-p), which provided a quantitative measur

A reaction system consisting of terephthalic acid, NaOH, inorganic Mn(II) or Mn(III) salt, and salicylidene alkylimine resulted in dinuclear manganese complexes (salpn)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)(2) (1, salpn = N,N'-1,3-propylene-bis(salicylideneiminato); phth = terephthalate dianion), (salen)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)(2) (2, salen = N,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)), (salen)(2)Mn-2(mu-phth)(CH3OH)

AiM To describe factors associated with an increased chance of survival among patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Sweden. Patients and Methods All patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which were not crew witnessed, in Sweden and in,whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was attempted and who were registered in the Swedish Cardiac Arrest Registry. Th

Two quasi steady-state solute transport experiments were carried out in a loamy sand under field conditions. The flux was 40 mm/d in experiment I and 18.7 mm/d in experiment 2. Both water content (theta) and resident concentration (C-r) measurements were taken using 64 time domain reflectometry probes at depths ranging from 0.05 to 0.90 m. The C-r measurement was calibrated in situ for each probe

Background and Purpose - Warfarin prevents stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF); however, concerns regarding international normalized ratio control and hemorrhage limit its use in the elderly. The oral direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) are potential alternatives to warfarin, offering fixed dosing without drug and dietary interactions and the need for international normalized ratio monitoring.
