OBJECTIVE.: Finding of venous congestion at histopathological examination of placenta indicates the importance of abnormal placenta-maternal venous return. The present descriptive study investigates the possibility of recording Doppler flow signals from maternal uterine veins. MATERIAL AND METHODS.: Transabdominal Doppler ultrasound examinations of uterine veins on both sides of uterus were perfor
Abstract OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of antenatal betamethasone on fetal and uteroplacental hemodynamics. METHODS: The study comprised 33 women with singleton high-risk pregnancies (23-33 weeks; 27 pregnancies < 30 weeks) not in labor, but at risk for preterm delivery based on fetal or maternal indications. They were treated with two doses of 12 mg betamethasone intramuscularly 24 h ap

Fisheries exemplify the immense complexity of interactions in social-ecological systems (SESs). This complexity has created management challenges and raises concerns for the sustainability of our marine natural resource systems. This article contributes to SES fisheries research and management in two ways: first, it enhances our understanding of lobster fisheries as complex social-ecological syste
BACKGROUND: Changes in glycosylation of serum proteins are common, and various glycoforms are being explored as biomarkers in cancer and inflammation. We recently showed that glycoforms detected by endogenous galectins not only provide potential biomarkers, but also have different functions when they encounter galectins in tissue cells. Now we have explored the use of a combination of two galectin
The intensification of forest management over the recent decades, in combination with the effects of a warming climate, leaves forestry and forest management with the challenging task of maintaining forest ecosystems’ further abilities to provide ecosystem services. By systematically reviewing peer- reviewed academic literature this study analyzes the concept of multifunctionality and its applicat
This letter reports on a search for hypothetical heavy neutrinos, N, and right-handed gauge bosons, W-R, in events with high transverse momentum objects which include two reconstructed leptons and at least one hadronic jet. The results were obtained from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb(-1) collected in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den äldre befolkningen i Sverige ökar i antal och med det ökar även antalet äldre med många sjukdomar som behöver läkemedel. Personer som är 75 år eller äldre utgör 9% av Sveriges befolkning men använder mer än 25% av alla läkemedel. I takt med att man blir äldre sker en del förändringar i kroppens funktioner som kan påverka effekten av läkemedel. De största förändringThe aim of this thesis was to investigate whether a structured and systematic approach on improving pharmacotherapy in the elderly (the LIMM-model) would lead to a more appropriate and accurate drug use in the elderly. The elderly use many drugs and are more prone to suffer from adverse drug reaction. It is therefore important to address the quality of their drug therapy. The first study presente
A distillation unit has been designed for a capacity of 73 t/h of condensate and for at least 90% recovery of the contaminating organics. This unit consists of three columns: a primary stripper to remove volatile organics and two upgrading columns to purify the methanol and furfural byproducts. Three different energy-saving alternatives for satisfying the energy requirements have been studied: ut
BACKGROUND: Effective T-cell depletion is a prerequisite for haploidentical peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) transplantation. This study was performed to investigate the performance of magnetic cell sorting–based direct large-scale T-cell depletion, which is an attractive alternative to standard PBPC enrichment procedures. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: PBPCs were harvested from 11 human leukoc
The aim of this master thesis is to gain greater knowledge of interpersonal communication. This study explores on one hand how interpersonal communication can be used as an important part of reference work in a Swedish electronic synchronous reference service, and on the other how interpersonal communication affects the relationship between user and librarian. By using communication theory and est
The purpose of this work is to enhance the understanding of how different approaches regarding the implementation of EPR programmes may contribute to environmental improvements. In order to meet this purpose, the following research question is explored: How may different approaches to collective and individual producer responsibility, implemented and/or envisioned by stakeholders, contribute to th
Goodwill som fenomen kan verka vara allmänt känt, men ur juridiskt perspektiv finns det många frågetecken. - Vad är egentligen goodwill som immateriell rättighet? - Hur skyddas goodwill för varumärken? - Finns det några rättigheter som ser till att man äger ”sin” goodwill och hur långt sträcker sig dessa rättigheter? I dagens samhälle i Sverige och runt om i EU verkar det finnas ett hål i lagstGoodwill as a phenomenon may seem generally known, but when one delves deep into the definition of the concept, there are many question marks. - What is goodwill? - How are goodwill protected for brands? - Are there any legal rights that ensure that you own "your" goodwill, and in particular, how far does these rights extend? In the society today, in Sweden and around the EU, there seems
By testing theories from the likes of Seymour Martin Lipset and Francis Fukuyama, this thesis aims to illuminate the correlations between the size of a nation’s middle class and the stability and rigor of its democracy. Using quantitative data on democracy and middle class size in the time surrounding the financial crisis of 2008-2010, this thesis illustrates the parallel declines in both democrac
Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a
Banker har en essentiell roll i det moderna samhällssystemet funktion som betalningsförmedlare, kreditgivare och mottagare av ekonomiska medel från allmänheten som placeras till exempel på konto i bank. Utan ett fungerande banksystem blir möjligheten för företag och privatpersoner att förmedla betalningar till varandra, söka krediter eller förvara sina intjänade medel på ett tryggt sätt starkt bFinancial companies in general, and banks in particular, plays an essential role for the function of modern society. Without a working banking-system there would be no effective way to make payments and hardship would meet the credit-market. Some banks have been thought of as ”to big to fail”, although during the last years well-known international banks such as Leeman Brothers has been forced t
The aim of the study was to highlight the situation of children with disabilities. Previous research shows that these children are more vulnerable to different types of abuse than other children. Several studies show, due to the large number of unreported cases, that society is ill-equipped to detect cases of abuse against children with disabilities. The purpose of this study was also to examine h
