BMD and clinical risk factors predict hip and other osteoporotic fractures. The combination of clinical risk factors and BMD provide higher specificity and sensitivity than either alone. Introduction and hypotheses To develop a risk assessment tool based on clinical risk factors (CRFs) with and without BMD. Methods Nine population-based studies were studied in which BMD and CRFs were documented at

Bilateral foreign aid negotiations between industrialized and less developed countries; based on conference paper. Characteristic features of foreign aid negotiations, as compared to other types of negotiations between states; influence of factors which are external in relation to the negotiations themselves.

The crystal structure of the phosphide-bridged cluster [Os6(μ-H)(CO)12(NCMe)(μ-PH2)] 4 has been determined. The cluster consists of two Os3 triangles which are linked by a PH2 moiety which is terminally bound to each triangle. The acetonitrile ligand is axially coordinated and the hydride bridges the Os---Os edge to which the phosphide moiety and the acetonitrile are coordinated. The molecular str

In his fetishist argument, Michael Smith raises an important question: What is the content of the motivational states that constitute moral motivation? Although the argument has been widely discussed, this question has not received the attention it deserves. In the present paper, I use Smith's argument as a point of departure for a discussion of how advocates of externalism as regards moral judgem

This thesis is concerned with the ways in which justice is dispensed in Swedish courts in cases concerning anti-Muslim violence. Based on material accessed through the Swedish National Board for Crime Prevention and classified as Islamophobic hate crimes, the judicial treatment of cases that may involve racism is analysed. An aim is to explore how different laws against racism in the Swedish legal

Protamines are the most abundant nuclear proteins and alterations in their expression have been described in infertile patients. Also, protamine haplo-insufficient mice have been described as infertile. Therefore, the protamine 1 and 2 genes have been considered important candidates in different mutational studies. In this article, we review all published articles related to protamine gene mutatio

Unlike most modernist fiction, Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage not only recognizes but celebrates silence as a strength in life and literature alike. Richardson’s silence is one which enables, communicates, and reveals truth. It speaks in a way words never can; ‘[r]eal speech can only come from complete silence’, as Miriam concludes (III, 389). This article explores the role silence plays in Pilgr

The current extent of knowledge on the supply of carbon compounds to mycorrhizal roots and mycelia, and their subsequent distribution and cycling within the soil ecosystem is reviewed. The carbon requirements of different mycorrhizal fungi are discussed and carbon transfer from host root tissue to the fungal biomass is considered in relation to available information on the amounts and types of com

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av AMS-tekniken och tillämpningar på 3H och 59Ni mätningar Traditionellt mäter man radioaktivitet genom att registrera den utsända strålningen från sönderfallande kärnor. Denna sönderfallsmätning fungerar oftast bra så länge halveringstiden (den tid det tar för hälften av kärnorna att sönderfalla) är kort nog samt då man har tillräckligt mycket material. MetAccelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is a highly sensitive technique for counting atoms. Its main advantage in comparison with radiometric methods is the smaller amount of sample required (by a factor of a thousand). The method has a high efficiency and requires only some ten mg of sample material. The radioisotope 59Ni is of great importance in nuclear waste management in the nuclear industry. Thi

It is a commonplace to suggest that liberal theory should construct principles which are race-neutral, that policies should be ‘color-blind1. This study criticizes the description of race neutrality in recent theories of political liberalism. The author begins by addressing recent writings on political liberalism by John Rawls, and explores the assumptions about racial practices which support Rawl

In a single theoretical framework, real and virtual photon interactions are modeled for gamma-p and gamma-gamma collisions. The description covers aspects from the production of jets to total cross sections, where special emphasis is put on the range of uncertainty in the modeling of a resolved photon component. Our approach extends on a model for photoproduction, where the total cross section is
