Popular Abstract in Swedish Sambandet mellan exponering för miljögifter och mineraler i fosterlivet och risken att ha ADHD diagnos i barndomen ADHD (uppmärksamhetsstörning med hyperaktivitet) är en neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning som drabbar barn och kan fortsätta till vuxen ålder. Antalet barn som diagnosticerats med ADHD har ökat under senare år. Om detta beror på att man fått mer kunskapPerfluorinated compounds (PFCs), phthalates, manganese and selenium are ubiquitous in the environment and humans and influence fetal growth and development. Register and biobank based case-control studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between prenatal exposure to these chemicals and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in childhood. The study base comprised children b

The legitimacy of the judiciary hinges on the presumption that truth can be found through the judicial process. Even though a distinction can be made between "truth" in a legal sense and "real truth", the legal truth can only be justified by its anchorage in "real truth". During the last few decades, the previosly all-powerful assumption of the objective nature of reality and knowledge has been ch

The Draft Treaty establishing the Constitution for Europe introduces some significant changes in the institutional setting of the European Union; the present study focuses on reforms made by this text in the EU system of external representation, particularly in the area of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Although the Amsterdam Treaty has also been a attempt to reform only a few years ago,

Home mechanical ventilation (HMV) is increasingly used as a therapeutic option to patients with symptomatic chronic hypoventilation. There is, however, a paucity of solid data on factors that could affect prognosis in patients on home ventilation. In the present study, our aim was to study several factors in these patients with potential influence on survival. We examined 1526 adult patients from

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har traditionellt sett varit mycket svårt att genomföra förbränningsstudier i motorer, men i och med laserns introduktion har nya möjligheter öppnats. Under de senaste 20 åren har lasern blivit ett allt viktigare hjälpmedel, och ett stort antal laser baserade mätmetoder har utvecklats. Det är nu möjligt att mäta temperaturer, ämneskoncentrationer, hastighetsfält ochMulti-dimensional, laser-based measurements of quantities important for obtaining a better understanding of combustion processes, particularly of temperature and of species distributions, were performed using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF). The main purpose of the temperature experiments was to investigate the potential of employing a two-line atomic fluorescence technique (TLAF), using indium a

Carotid sinus massage (CSM) is essential in evaluating recurrent unexplained reflex syncope, as it uniquely identifies cardioinhibitory forms that other tests may miss. CSM is largely underused in clinical practice outside dedicated syncope facilities and, when performed, its execution varies, as does the interpretation of results. Underuse affects the diagnostic yield of CSM in the syncope evalua

The aim of the present study was to determine the pollution load originating from storm water on Lake Vaxjosjon. Each year about 1,050,000 m3 of storm water are discharged into the lake. Storm water represents a substantial pollution source for the lake and therefore also a main reason for the hypertrophic conditions in the lake. In order to evaluate the effects of the discharged storm water on th

Understanding the microclimate in a given site influences the preconditions of sustainable development in many ways. Cold and strong winds in the winter will, for example, intensify the energy use in buildings depending on the air tightness of the building enclosure (Bagge et al., 2011), and in areas close to the seafront strong salty winds may also increase the wear and tear on building materials

We propose data-driven surrogate models to solve systems of time-dependent differential equations coupled with noise. Using a feedforward neural network, we separately learn the noise and solution, tackling approximations across regimes with bifurcations and rare events. Focusing on irregular data generated by a stochastic noise model on a one-dimensional spatial lattice coupled to a differential

INTRODUCTION: Social prescribing (SP) is an innovative model that connects individuals to non-clinical community resources. However, its uptake and evaluation have been hindered by inconsistent role definitions for key stakeholders. Although recent studies have refined SP definitions, outside the UK, the responsibilities, educational backgrounds and training requirements of social prescribing link

Low-grade superficial connective tumors are a heterogeneous group of benign/reactive, intermediate—locally aggressive and intermediate—rarely metastasizing lesions arising in skin and subcutaneous/superficial soft tissues. The most common targets for fine needle aspiration (FNA) in this group of lesions are schwannomas, desmoids, and “pseudosarcomatous lesions” such as nodular fasciitis. Experienc

This chapter describes methods and procedures that can be used to calculate the absorbed dose distribution based on quantitative SPECT/PET images. In this context, quantitative images mean images corrected for various physical effects (among them are photon attenuation, scatter contribution, dead time) in such a way that the values of each voxel can then be translated into units of activity by a c

NYTT FRÅN SACO-S SLU SLU:s friskvård halkar efter – dags för förändring Trots att friskvård är en viktig del av ett hållbart arbetsliv erbjuder SLU varken friskvårdstimmar eller ett konkurrenskraftigt friskvårdsbidrag. I detta nyhetsbrev visar vi hur SLU står sig i jämförelse med andra universitet och myndigheter, och varför Saco-S vid SLU anser att en förbättring av friskvårdsförmånerna är nödvän

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kväveoxid (NO) och framför allt kolmonoxid (CO) tillhör de giftigaste gaserna man känner till. Vem har inte läst i kriminalromaner om hur människor stängts in i garage och gasats ihjäl med kolmonoxid från arbetande bilmotorers avgasutsläpp. Under det senaste årtiondet har man kunnat visa att dessa gaser i själva verket bildas i vår egen kropp och att de utgör signalmoleDuring the last decade it has been shown that nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) are produced in our own body, and that they constitute a novel class of messenger molecules. In 1992 a constitutive NO-producing NO-synthase (cNOS) was found in the islets of Langerhans, and in 1997 we could show for the first time that the islets also contained a CO-producing constitutive heme oxygenase (HO-2

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människor har sedan länge känt till att deras hälsotillstånd varierar beroende på årstid. Vissa av oss drabbas av påtagliga årstidsbundna hälsoproblem och så pass hårt att viktiga funktioner påverkas. Även om dessa företeelser observerades före kristen tidräkning, är bara sedan mitten av förra seklet som man studerat dem vetenskapligt. Det har blivit klarlagt att alla vSeasonal Affective Disorder with depressive episodes during the autumn/winter seasons (winter depression) is common. Outpatients with winter depression were studied regarding temperament, psychopathology, social characteristics, psychosocial functioning and the neuropeptides corticotropin - releasing hormone (CRH) and neuropeptide Y (NPY), which are known to be involved in stress-regulation. The t
