COPD is a progressive disease, which can take different routes, leading to great heterogeneity. The aim of the post-hoc analysis reported here was to perform continuous analyses of advanced lung function measurements, using linear and nonlinear regressions.
Microsoft Word - Insp2006examination.doc Abstract—Examination in Higher Education involves university culture, formal rules, teachers’ knowledge and students’ learning efforts. This project researches the interplay between the formal examination system and the development of students’ and teachers’ work in the actual examination process, relating also to changes induced by the Bologna process. The

Rotational Coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy (CARS) has the last decades been developed into a useful tool for thermometry and concentration measurements in combustion. In this paper, we present a novel polarization approach of the technique, which will enhance its potential and widen the range of conditions at which it can be utilized. The theory of the polarization approach is described in
CagA seropositivity is an important risk factor for gastric adenocarcinoma and duodenal ulcer. However, CagA seropositivity is also found in Helicobacter pylori-seronegative subjects. Is CagA seropositivity in these subjects a sign of a past H. pylori infection, or does it represent a false-positive reaction? This study investigates the intensity of the CagA immune reaction and the variation in Ca
Ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy has been used to investigate the excited-state dynamics of the basic eumelanin building block 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA), its acetylated, methylated, and carboxylic ester derivatives, and two oligomers, a dimer and a trimer in the O-acetylated forms. The results show that (1) excited-state decays are faster for the trimer relativ
Helicobacter pylori is a cause of chronic gastritis and leads to development of atrophy in some cases. There is evidence that the heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) of H. pylori is involved in induction of chronic inflammation. Seroprevalence of IgG antibodies to H. pylori HSP60 in an adult cohort from Saaremaa, Estonia (68 persons, median age 57 years), with a high prevalence of antibodies to cell sur
Svensson Cedergren Andreen Messing - Motivation och egenintresse LTHs 9:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 15 december 2016 Abstract — En viktig del av universitetsutbildningen är examensarbetet, en undervisningsform, som bygger på förtroende och förståelse mellan student och handledare. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka vad som motiverar forskare att handleda examensarbeten kopplat t

Sacorådets uppgifter är bland annat att handlägga de frågor som enskilt förbund delegerar och att vara förbundens kontaktorgan i frågor som är av gemensamt och övergripande intresse. Rådet
The evolution of bulk flow structures and their influence on the spatial distribution of heat release zones and of partially oxidized fuel and particulate matter (soot) is examined experimentally in a swirl-supported, direct-injection diesel engine. Vector fields describing the bulk flow structures are measured with particle image velocimetry (PIV), while complementary scalar field measurements of
The presence of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) in pancreatic endocrine cells is well established. Nevertheless, recent advances are only now unraveling the signaling network involving 5-HT that partly regulates the release of hormones emanating from the islets of Langerhans. It is widely accepted that failure of the pancreatic β-cell to release sufficient amounts of insulin is the main cul
Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) serve as key priming sites for intestinal adaptive immune responses. Most of our understanding of GALT function and development arises from studies in mice. However, the diversity, structure and cellular composition of GALT differs markedly between mammalian species and the developmental window in which distinct GALT structures develop in large mammals remain
This chapter explores the relevance of the Christian tradition to contemporary debates on solidarity in international law and human rights. It positions the genealogy of solidarity within early Christian writings in which the western theological concepts of suffering, love, and salvation are detailed. Linking the Pauline doctrine and writings of early theologians to the processes of modernity – of
In nine hyperthyroid women studied in the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle basal plasma LH concentrations and LH and FSH responses to GnRH were increased compared to those in nine normal women. The increased gonadotropin levels could not be related to changes in body weight or plasma estradiol or serum sex hormone-binding globulin levels, and they approached normal levels during or after tr
Context: In a cross-sectional study, we found an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and smaller bone area together with greater bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip.Objective: This work aims to investigate these associations longitudinally, by studying T2DM status (no T2DM n = 1521, incident T2DM n = 119, or prevalent T2DM n = 106) in relation to changes in total hip bone a
This paper focuses on a reliability analysis of an offshore wind turbine support structure which is part of an assessment and monitoring framework for wind turbines in operation. The reliability analysis builds upon structural, loading, limit state and uncertainty models comprising design, production and erection data. This model basis facilitates the reliability analysis of the ultimate, the fati
