Popular Abstract in Swedish Urininkontinens är en utbredd folksjukdom och ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Omkring 500 000 människor i Sverige, mest kvinnor (2/3) är drabbade. Förekomsten av inkontinens ökar med stigande ålder. Ofrivilligt urinläckage orsakar många gånger både medicinska och sociala handikapp med minskad livskvalitet som följd. Undersökningar har visat att endast 25% av de inkontinentaDysfunction of the pelvic floor can lead to incontinence and different forms of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Urinary incontinence is a common problem and about 500 000 persons in Sweden, mostly (2/3) women, suffering from incontinence. The general aim of this thesis was to characterize the function and dysfunction of the pelvic floor muscles in healthy and incontinent women. Vaginal EMG, p

An AC-voltage source feeding an electric network results ina periodic excitation of the network. In steady state, allcurrents and voltages will be periodic with cycle time corresponding to thefrequency of the voltage source. If the network is linear, all signalsare sinusoidal and the network is solved using traditional methods.If the network contains components with nonlinear or switchingdynamics,

Nanoparticles made from recombinant proteins offer excellent potential for several nanotechnological applications. However, only a very limited number of proteins are currently being used for such purposes due to limited availability and stability. Therefore, we have investigated the enamel matrix protein amelogenin as a new alternative protein for use as recombinant nanoparticles. Amelogenin is a

Six-membered cyclic carbonates are potential monomers for phosgene and/or isocyanate free polycarbonates and polyurethanes via ring-opening polymerization. A two-step process for their synthesis comprising lipase-catalyzed transesterificationofa polyol, trimethylolpropane(TMP) with dimethylcarbonate(DMC)in a solvent-free system followed by thermal cyclization was optimized to improve process effic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Varje nervskada, oavsett orsak, utgör ett stort problem för den drabbade individen och slutresultatet är i regel dåligt. Personerna som drabbas av nervskador är ofta i arbetsför ålder. Rehabilitering efter en nervskada medför vanligtvis lång sjukskrivning och ibland måste patienten skolas om till ett nytt yrke. Detta innebär stora kostnader för både individen The effect of short time vibration exposure and tourniquet compression on nerve regeneration in rats was studied with special reference to cell activation. One of the hindlimbs was conditioned by either vibration exposure (5 hours / day - 5 consecutive days) or compression (150-300 mmHg for 30-120 minutes), which was followed by a recovery period of 0-7 days. Test crush lesions or a transplantatio

The administration’s legitimacy of the constitutional democracy consist in laws being applied in accordance with the principles which are their foundation. Care about the elderly is the municipals’ responsibility, and this task is regulated in the law of social services and the law of health and healthcare. The legislation grant individual elderly the right to a standard of living that in the law

In this review holographic interferometry and electron speckle pattern interferometry are discussed as efficient techniques for diffusion measurements in biochemical and pharmaceutical applications. Transport phenomena can be studied, quantitatively and qualitatively, in gels, liquids and membranes. Detailed information on these phenomena is required to design effective chromatography bioseparatio

Regional production and utilization of biomass in Sweden is analysed, considering the potential of replacing fossil fuels and producing new electricity. Extensive utilization of biomass will decrease biomass-transportation distances. The average distance for biomass transportation to a large-scale conversion plant suitable for electricity or methanol production will be 30–42 km when the conversion

Barley is an abundant crop in Europe, which makes its straw residues an interesting cellulose source for ethanol production. Steam pretreatment of the straw followed by enzymatic hydrolysis converts the cellulose to fermentable sugars. Prior to pretreatment the material is impregnated with a catalyst, for example, H2SO4, to enhance enzymatic digestibility of the pretreated straw. Different impregn

A case report of a patient who suffered from a rapidly progressive lung adenocarcinoma with malignant pleural effusions, is given. The patient failed to respond on two series of conventional cytotoxic drug therapy (Carboplatin, Etoposid). Interleukin-2 (IL-2) treatment was first started as intrapleural instillations (3.0 million IU per day in 6 days). A clear clinical response was achieved with ce

The phase behavior of the ternary monoolein (MO)-diolein (DO)-water ((H2O)-H-2) system is presented. The experimental phase behavior and microstructure are studied by a combination of polarizing microscopy, small-angle X-ray diffraction, and NMR methods. Monoolein forms extensive reversed bicontinuous cubic liquid crystalline phases (C) that are in equilibrium with a lamellar liquid crystalline ph

Kemisk vittring kallas processen när mineralkorn löses upp och sönderdelas i molekyler eller atomer. Det är en viktig process, bland annat för att den frigör ämnen som skyddar marken från försurning och som fungerar som näringsämnen för växter. För de så kallade baskatjonerna kalium, kalcium, magnesium och natrium är vittringen i marken bland de största källorna. Framför allt de tre förstnämnda baBase cations are important in forest soils as nutrients for vegetation and protection against soil acidification. Today, base cations have been lost from soils through acidification and forest harvesting. With low levels in soils, temporary situations of deficiency could occur. One of the largest inputs of base cations to soils is minerals weathering, which makes it an important process. It is, ho

Kraftringens geotermianläggning i Lund har varit i drift sen 1984. Det är den enda stora geoter-miska anläggningen i Sverige. Efter mer än 30 års drift är det dags att utvärdera hur det har fungerat. Arbetet be-skriver de geologiska förutsättningarna som stratigrafi (formation), formationstemperatur, typ av akvifer, porositet, permeabilitet och vattenkemi, samt driftdata, systemuppbyggnad, funktioThe geothermal heat plant in Lund has been running since 1984. It is the only one of its kind in Sweden. After running for more than 30 years it’s now time to evaluate the experiences from the long operational period of the heat plant. This report describes the geological conditions like the formation, temperature of the geothermal water, aquifer, porosity, permeability, and chemistry of the forma

In the Netherlands it is very common to separate household waste inside the home. In several Dutch municipalities a financial incentive system has been implemented that is intended to motivate residents to manage and separate household waste more efficiently. The system has shown to give good results when evaluated in terms of the amount of collected household waste. However, no research exists on

I samband med äktenskapsskillnad kan frågan om nyttjanderättsersättning aktualiseras om en av makarna tillsvidare bor kvar i en tidigare gemensam bostad. Då det i svensk rätt saknas lagstadgande om nyttjanderättsersättning syftar denna framställning till att klargöra rättsläget, genom att analysera framförallt praxis och doktrin. Avslutningsvis syftar framställningen till att diskutera om tillämpnA question of tenancies compensation can arise during a divorce, if one of two spouses re-mains settled in a former joint home. Due to the fact that Swedish law is missing enactment of this kind of compensation, the purpose of this depiction is to clarify the legal situation by analysing mainly established practice and doctrine. In the conclusion the author will discuss whether the regulations sho

VAD HAR DEN SOCIALA HÅLLBARHETEN MED KLIMATUTMANINGARNA ATT GÖRA? Frågan låter mer disparat än vad den egentligen är. Forskning och praktik visar att det finns en direkt kausalitet mellan de två. Att ett fokus på social hållbarhet kan förbättra relationen till hur vi uppfattar och hanterar klimatutmaningarna men också ge direkta återkopplingar. Det går inte att utesluta att med en utökad kunskapsToday, the concept of sustainability is central in several housing projects, not to mention the many other socio-technological projects for which the concept is a directive. In this study I problematize the relation of the paradigm of sustainable development to one of its main “pillars”, the social dimension, and how this can relate to the greatest challenge of our generation – climate change. As

Klimatförändringar är idag ett faktum och påverkar både människor och vår omgivning världen över. I Lund i södra Sverige beräknas både mängden och frekvensen av extrema skyfall att öka i framtiden, som konsekvenser av klimatförändringarna, vilket skapar stor risk för översvämningar. Samtidigt växer befolkningen och fler bostäder behövs men när nya stadsdelar byggs så finns det risk för att permeabThe consequences of climate change affect our environment as well as humanity all over the world. For the city of Lund in southern Sweden, climate change consequences are seen as an increase of both intensity and frequency of extreme rain events, which causes an extensive risk for pluvial flooding. Simultaneously, the population and need for housing are growing. When building new districts, the pe
