This study explores the relative interest in various mental-health topics among adolescents. The results of this study will be used to develop relevant information material for the age-group and for interested mental-health practitioners as well as teachers. The participating adolescents were between 13-19 (N = 2058) recruited through social media. In the sample 922 participants attended lower sec

BACKGROUND: Controversy surrounds which factors are important for predicting early mortality after dialysis initiation (DI). We investigated associations of predialysis course and circumstances affecting planning and execution of DI with mortality following DI.METHODS: Among 1580 patients participating in the Peridialysis study, a study of causes and timing of DI, we registered features of predial

The activity of robust design of mechanical products and how it can be accomplished in pre-prototype design phases, is discussed in this thesis. It is advocated that to be fully efficient and effective optimization of product robustness should commence already in the conceptual design phase. Moreover, since product optimization is a process, robust design should be perceived and implemented as a p

Sites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited. At each locality, the habitat ecology and lichen viability were investigated. A substantial decline was noted, particularly in Skåne, as L. pulmonaria was found at only 24 sites, 22 of which were forests and two were wooded meadows. The commonest habitats for L. pulmonaSites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited.

Fresh and aged diesel soot particles have different impacts on climate and human health. Whilefresh diesel soot particles are highly aspherical and non-hygroscopic, aged particles are sphericaland hygroscopic. Aging and its effect on water uptake also controls the dispersion of diesel soot inthe atmosphere. Understanding the timescales on which diesel soot ages in the atmosphere is thus important,Fresh and aged diesel soot particles have different impacts on climate and human health.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människor har i alla tider försökt reparera och ersätta skadade vävnader i kroppen. Förr användes naturliga material som t. ex. bomull, silke, tagel och läder. Under 1900-talet har flera syntetiska (konstgjorda) material utvecklats, framförallt olika typer av polymerer (plaster), för användning som ersättning av skadade kroppsvävnader. Beroende på vilken typ av vävnad sThe aim of this work was to achieve surface modification of two biomedical polyurethanes and one poly(urethane urea) through the addition of small amounts of amphiphilic copolymers in solution. The matrix polymers used were the poly(ether urethane)s Pellethane 2363-80AE (P80) and 2363-75D (P75) and a poly(ether urethane urea) similar to Biomer (PUUR). The amphiphilic additives consisted of segment

Popular Abstract in Swedish Metoder utvecklade inom den statistiska fysiken har visat sig vara användbara även i andra forskningfält såsom datalogi, statistik, ekonomi och molekylärbiologi. I den här avhandlingen undersöks hur en variationell metod, utvecklad för statistisk fysik, kan användas när man löser kombinatoriska optimeringsproblem och när man försöker rekonstruera evolutionsträd. I den Algorithms based on the variational approach, as used in statistical physics, are developed. For constraint satisfaction problems a novel cost function, based on information-theoretic arguments, is introduced, and an algorithm similar to the mean-field annealing algorithm is proposed. It outperforms the conventional mean-field algorithm, and its performance is comparable to good problem-dedicated

Atmospheric deposition is one source of persistent pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in aquatic environments. Other point sources can also contribute to the PCB loadings in the water. In the Emån River, in southeast Sweden, contaminated sediment was a source of PCB, the largest deposits of it being found in a small lake connected with the river, Lake Järnsjön, the sediment of it c

Popular Abstract in Swedish Systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE) är en autoimmun reumatisk systemsjukdom som drabbar flera av kroppens olika organsystem, såsom rörelseapparat, hud och inre organ. Vidare ses en mångfald störningar i kroppens immunsystem. Sjukdomen drabbar oftast kvinnor. Vad som orsakar SLE är ännu så länge ofullständigt klarlagt, men man vet att yttre faktorer (miljöfaktorer) samveSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease in which environmental factors interact with genetic factors in the development of the disease process and evolution of clinical manifestations. In this thesis both exogenous factors and host factors were investigated, as well as important immunopathological aspects including involvement of immune complex (IC), the complement syste

Aerosol particle number size distributions and hygroscopic properties were measured at a pasture site in the southwestern Amazon region (Rondonia). The measurements were performed 11 September-14 November 2002 as part of LBA-SMOCC (Large scale Biosphere atmosphere experiment in Amazonia - SMOke aerosols, Clouds, rainfall and Climate), and cover the later part of the dry season (with heavy biomass

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Tallsten barnomsorgs- och skolenhet införde man 1996, som del i en omorganisation av verksamheten, ett nytt tanke- och arbetssätt utifrån en kommunikativ pedagogik. Tre mindre organisatoriska enheter, som var mer eller mindre slutna i förhållande till varandra, slogs samman till en enhet. Ett primärt syfte i sammanhanget var att skapa en helhetssyn på barnet från 1?18This thesis focuses on the pedagogue as a social being and how she or he experiences the social life in preschools and schools in Tallsten. In 1996, the child-care and education authorities in Tallsten introduced a new manner of thinking and working based on the communicative pedagogy. The idea of communicative pedagogy was origanlly put forth by the Danish teacher Lars Rokkjaer. One of the goals

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mellan 0.3 och 2.1 % av alla barn föds med portvins fläckar (PWS). Till skillnad mot vissa andra kärlmissbildningar försvinner inte PWS utan tvärtom blir många mer blåröda och tjockare med åren. Majoriteten av patienterna upplever sig vara negativt psykosocialt påverkade av sitt PWS i jämförelse med jämnåriga. Dessa negativa upplevelser minskar efter behandlingarna.(Se This thesis covers 12 years of experience in treating patients with congenital capillary malformations, so called port wine stains (PWS). The wide variation in treatment response to laser therapy has developed a profound need for the development of objective devises to measure treatment outcome, so that the maximum effectiveness of therapy can be achieved without unnecessary treatments. The purpos

Inom psykologi och sociologi har forskning kring människors livsstil sin bakgrund i klassiska forskningsfält. Ändå finner man att när man lämnar de inom ämnena klassiska beteendeområdena för livsstil saknas en helt täckande teoribildning. Klassiska teorier har dessutom i många fall blivit så väl kända även utanför forskarsamhället att de fått en mera allmän och ofta vag betydelse för att vara anvä

In the application of the European competition policy and rules, it is clear that each market and case give raise to specific and individual competition concerns. This thesis has dealt with Article 82 and the Merger Regulation under the EC competition rules. Those instruments have been assessed in relation to an example industry, the luxury fashion industry. The application of Article 82 and the M

Bakgrund Allt fler människor tillbringar stora delar av sina arbetsdagar med att arbeta framför en dator. Vi ser en kraftig ökning av branscher med IT-arbetare de senaste tio åren och det är en siffra som kommer att fortsätta att öka. Det här är problematiskt eftersom många studier har visat ett samband mellan musanvändning och belastningsskador i bl.a. nacke, skuldra, arm, armbåge och handled. Be
