Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien behandlar den sydsvenske bonadsmålaren Johannes Nilssons måleri. Denne produktive målare levde och verkade i Breareds socken i södra Halland 1757­1827. En analys av hans bonader visar att han i många stycken frångick sina föregångares traditionella, imiterande framställning och begränsade motivkrets. Den övergripande frågan i avhandlingen är: varför målade JohanThe aim of this dissertation is to find relationships between folk art, an artist's personal life and influential factors originating in the context. Christmas wall hangings by the peasant painter Johannes Nilsson (1757­1827) are the focus of the study. The fact that he had a special approach to the painting tradition raises two questions: Why did he paint the way he did? How can his hangings be i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt eftersom fler och fler organismers totala uppsättning gener, genomet, sekvenseras ökar fokus på att kartlägga de genprodukter, proteiner, som uttrycks. Att kunna studera de proteiner som uttrycks mer eller mindre vid olika tidpunkter eller cellulära tillstånd utgör en viktig del i sökandet efter kunskap om biologiska och medicinska processer. Studier av den totala The study of the protein complement of a genome is called proteomics. Proteomics can be defined as identification, quantification and characterization of a total set of proteins expressed at different time-points or under different cellular states to provide global information about biological processes. The study of membrane proteins is a challenging area in the development of proteomic research.

This paper includes a brief description of some closely related ongoing research activities aiming at learning from failures in order to improve the resilience of the Swedish railway system. One of these activities includes the development of a method aiming at assessing the capability for restoring the service of the railway system after strains affecting its technical, and often highly interdepe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Muskelömhet hos kvinnor Smärttrösklar för tryck i skuldermuskulaturen (trapezius och deltoideus) i vila, efter muskel uttröttning och efter smärtsam stimulering Smärta i muskler och leder och besvär i form av upplevd trötthet i musklerna är vanligt förekommande problem, särskilt hos den kvinnliga delen av befolkningen. Man har ansett detta kopplat till olika belastandeLongstanding pain experienced from the musculoskeletal system is reported by one third of the Swedish population. The underlying mechanisms are not known in the majority of cases. In the present studies, the changes in pressure pain thresholds (PPTs) over the trapezius and deltoid muscles after a unilateral static contraction of maximal duration of one arm was measured in healthy females (n=25) a

Summary, key points: Transport considerations ought to be factored into the initial phase of the wheelchair & seating assessment process. Manufacturers of wheelchairs and seating systems should make information relating to the safe transportation of their products readily available - and easy to understand. With the desire to provide the safest possible transport environment for wheelchair-se

Background: Perinatal asphyxia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. To date there are no reliable methods to detect which infants will develop brain damage after asphyxia insult. We investigated whether measurements of urine levels of S100B in asphyxiated full-term newborns maybe a useful tool for early detection of post-asphyxia brain damage. Methods: A prospective study of 38 infants wit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hoppet väcks för sömnsjuka Det sticker till i benet. Du viftar med handen, men alltför långsamt. Du ser en glimt av den ljusbruna flugan, stor som ett bi, och hör hur den surrar vidare genom den varma afrikanska eftermiddagen mot sitt nästa blodmål. Tsetseflugans bett kliar. Inom ett par dagar har det förvandlats till en arg röd svullnad. Därinne förökar sig parasiternIn the last decade, powerful communication and information technology in the form of the mobile phone has been put into the hands of more than 50% of the global population. In stark contrast, a lack of access to medical diagnostic technology with which to diagnose both communicable and non-communicable diseases will mean that many of these people will die of easily treatable conditions.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Livet uppe på en pelare År 423 e.Kr. klättrade en man som närmade sig fyrtioårsåldern upp på en pelare, för att leva resten av sitt liv på dess topp; det skulle bli nästan fyrtio år till på knappt tjugo meters höjd. Han hette Symeon och skulle redan i sin samtid bli världsberömd för sin märkliga livsstil, som den första styliten, eller pelarhelgonet. I dagens krigsdrabThe fundamental question in this work concerns the ideal relation between asceticism and society in a 5th c. writing (C.E.), the Philotheos Historia (PH), written in elaborate Greek by the learned bishop of Cyrrhus, Theodoret. This collection of saints’ stories tells about the lives of a number of ascetics who lived in the Eastern part of the Roman Empire, many of them close to Antioch. As these n

Objective: Patient-provider relationships with primary care and need for hospitalisations are related within the complex networks comprising healthcare. Our objective was to analyse mean days hospitalised, using registration status (active or passive listing) with a provider and number of consultations as proxies of patient-provider relationships with primary care, adjusting for morbidity burden,

General AbstractTraditionally, affects do not belong in the academic world, are not seen as compatible with science,the domain of objectivity. We have few teaching hours at our disposal and a large mass of content toput into them. This is true for academic literature classes, too, despite the fact that the "affectiveturn” at the beginning of the 21st century, thanks to scholars like Patrick Colm H

BACKGROUND: Identification of risk factors for rapid joint destruction in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be helpful for optimizing treatment, and improving our understanding of destructive arthritis and its mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between early RA patient characteristics and subsequent rapid radiographic progression (RRP).METHODS: An incepti

AbstractThe cerebellum is an important part of the brain and in very preterm infants the cerebellum is smaller at term equivalent age compared to that of infants born at term.Hypothesis and aims: The general hypothesis is that preterm birth per se causes cerebellar underdevelopment and that certain events following preterm birth, either complications or treatments, can aggravate the underdevelopme

From December 1993 to January 1995 and from October 2009 to October 2010, a total of 320 and 365 daily samples of the PM2.5 were collected at a rural background site (National Atmospheric Observatory Košetice) in Central Europe. The PM2.5 samples were analyzed for 29 and 26 elements respectively by Particle-Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and water-soluble inorganic ions by Ion Chromatography (IC) i

Background: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) carry independent prognostic information in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) on different lines of therapy. Moreover, CTC clusters are suggested to add prognostic information to CTC enumeration alone but their significance is unknown in patients with newly diagnosed MBC. We aimed to evaluate whether longitudinal enumeration of circulating tumo

They can be read as selection of perspectives, commentaries, analyses, reflections and gained knowledge-production on the topic.The intention with the project was part

This thesis is about the flight of vertebrates and the studies of different modes of flight. Flight has always fascinated mankind and this fascination gave inspiration for our attempts at flying. Yet there are many different modes of flight among vertebrates and this thesis focuses mainly on the flapping flight of bats and intermittent flight of birds, as well as compares some of the factors conce

Background:The optimal treatment of displaced femoral neck fractures in patients 55 to 70 years old remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of closed reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws (IF) compared with total hip arthroplasty (THA) on hip pain and function, with use of data for outcome measures, complications, and reoperations.Methods:This

Purpose: To investigate whether the reduced retinal function and morphological retinal changes previously demonstrated in ABCA4 carriers had remained stationary or had deteriorated over time at 5-year follow-up to further explore if carriers of an autosomal recessive trait also express a weak phenotype, although this is not expected for an autosomal recessive disorder. Methods: Thirteen ABCA4 carr

Kyrkspirorna och tornen på Stockholms horisont blandar sig med radiosändningar som flyger ut över staden bredvid privatiserade våglängder, driver ner genom atmosfären och sjunker ner i det övergivna underjordiska telefonsystemet. Stockholm har byggnader som funnits där i århundraden, men är också full av den mest moderna och samtida arkitektur. Allt konkurrerar om sin plats i det kollektiva minnetThe towers of the Stockholm skyline twine with radio transmissions, flying out over the city, drifting down through the streets and sinking into the underground telephone system below. Stockholm has buildings that have been there for centuries, but is also full of modern and contemporary architectures, all jostling for their place in parallel collective memory. In taking the city up as a subject,

OBJECTIVES: Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) can detect more cancers than the current standard breast screening method, digital mammography (DM); however, it can substantially increase the reading workload and thus hinder implementation in screening. Artificial intelligence (AI) might be a solution. The aim of this study was to retrospectively test different ways of using AI in a screening workf
