This paper presents the results of one of the first measurement campaigns for the double-directional characterization of outdoor to indoor wireless propagation channels. Such channels play a vital role for cellular systems with multiple antenna elements at transmitter and receiver, i.e. multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Measurements were performed at 5.2 GHz between 53 different recei
OBJECTIVE: To compare survival of patients with breast cancer who had never smoked, were smokers, and who were ex-smokers. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: City of Malmo, Sweden. PATIENTS: 792 patients with breast cancer diagnosed between 1977-1986 in the Malmo mammographic screening trial. INTERVENTIONS: Follow-up of breast cancer cases through record-linkage with the Swedish Cause of Death
This thesis explores the changing patterns of employment and income assimilation among male immigrants to Sweden. In brief, the results of this work are that immigrants have been facing an increasingly difficult time integrating into the Swedish economy. This difficulty has not been caused by decreasing “quality” of the newer immigrant cohorts, as has often been the argument in the literature. Rat
OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors that have been suggested to be associated with the development of SLE. METHODS: A case-control study was performed and a questionnaire was developed to obtain the data. Consecutive female incident cases diagnosed between 1981 and 1999 in a defined geographical area in southern Sweden were included. Controls, matched for calendar year of birth, were selected r
Popular Abstract in Swedish I debatterna om sociala och ekonomiska frågor under 1800-talets första hälft utvecklades grundvalarna för de förhållningssätt till arbetslöshetsfrågan som sedan återkommit i skilda former. Det gällde t.ex. det perspektiv som betonade politikens roll och behovet av statlig intervention för att stimulera produktion och sysselsättning. Det gällde också det renodlade marknaLabour market policy has been at the forefront of economic and political debate in Sweden during the postwar period. Much research effort has been focused on the evolution of labour market policy and its historical roots. The time-perspective has often been narrow, however, and has very seldom extended to include the period prior to the first two decades of the twentieth century. This study emphas
Background Studies on blood flow velocity in the fetal middle cerebral artery have revealed signs of brain sparing in chronic hypoxia. These signs of brain sparing can disappear in the terminal case, but whether this applies to the whole brain or only parts of it is unknown. Methods Velocity waveforms of the middle cerebral, anterior cerebral and posterior cerebral arteries were recorded in 221 pr
We showed earlier that over-expression of protein kinase C (PKC) epsilon induces neurite outgrowth. The effect is mediated by a region (PKC epsilon PSC1V3) encompassing the pseudosubstrate, the two C1 domains and part of the V3 region, and is independent of the catalytic activity of the enzyme. In this region, residues immediately N-terminal of the C1b domain are crucial for neurite outgrowth. How
Aim: Carbon monoxide (CO) in blood as assessed by the COHb% is a marker of the cardiovascular ( CV) risk in smokers. Non-smokers exposed to tobacco smoke similarly inhale and absorb CO. The objective in this population-based cohort study has been to describe inter-individual differences in COHb% in never smokers and to estimate the associated cardiovascular risk. Methods: Of the 8,333 men, aged 34
Study of Dennis Potter's TV-series Lipstick on Your Collar.
We show that the undular stray light, diffusely scattered by the optical system of a synchrotron beamline, can play an important role in the formation of high-resolution resonant photoelectron (RPE) spectra. The influence of the stray light is mediated through the Stokes doubling effect, with the Lorentzian tail of the spectral function being replaced by a more complicated form. This effect is sho
Review over new research within media pedagogy and a discussion concerning the future of the field
Two types of glassy carbon (GC) powder (i.e., Sigradur K and Sigradur G) have been mixed with mineral oil to obtain glassy carbon paste electrodes (GCPE's). The electrochemical behavior of such electrodes at different percentages of glassy carbon has been evaluated with respect to the electrochemistry of ferricyanide as revealed with cyclic voltammetry and the best paste composition was chosen. GC
This article describes the first Swedish experience with fertility preserving surgery according to the technique of Dargent. Minimally invasive methods gain acceptance in the treatment of other tumours and this method seems to treat adequately and preserve function. The literature is reviewed and discussed. In Sweden about 25-40 women under 30 years of age are each year diagnosed with cancer of th
The relationship between time of HIV-1 detection, appearance of symptoms and disease progression was studied in all 24 HIV-1-infected infants from a cohort of 117 children who were born to HIV-1-infected mothers and monitored from birth. HIV isolation from plasma and mononuclear cells, HIV-1 DNA PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and, retrospectively, a quantitative assay for HIV-1 RNA were used for
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling behandlas brosk proteiners roll såsom antigen och tillgänglighet av immunsystemet i artrit. Sex artiklar omfattas, där fyra presenterar nya djur modeller för reumatoid artrit (RA), en visar hur en genetisk störning av ett broskprotein kan förvärra artrit och den sista hur posttransnationell modifiering av kollagen typ II (CII) påverkar T-cells toleranIn this thesis the role of cartilage proteins and their potential as antigen and availability to the immune system in arthritis were investigated. Six papers are included; where four present new animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one shows how genetic disorders in cartilage may affect arthritis and the last how posttranslational modification of collagen type II (CII) affects tolerance.
