Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kardiovaskulär sjukdom (CVD) är ett i vårt samhälle växande problem där allt fler insjuknar i akuta hjärtinfarkter, stroke eller hjärtsvikt. Överlevnaden efter insjuknandet har förbättrats med åren med hjälp av nya mediciner och invasiva ingrepp såsom stentning av kranskärlen vid svår kärlkramp och direkt i det akuta skedet vid vissa tThis thesis examines the relationship between measures of renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension (the NORDIL study) and in the healthy population (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, MDC) and whether antihypertensive treatment response and the risk of CVD is affected by genetic variation of a regulator of the renal amiloroide sensitive sodium channel (NORDIL). In st

Extensive measurements of soil surface (including vegetation cover) CO2 efflux were carried out on 80 positions at four different forest sites (Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic and Italy) using a closed dynamic chamber technique. The period of measurement was 4-5 consecutive days per site. Two approaches were used to analyze the measured data, the Q(10) parameter and the Arrhenius relationship. Bas

At the University Hospital of Malmo, Sweden, standardized trauma charts were used for registration of all jaw fractures from 1972 to 1976. During the year 2005 the aim was to interview all patients treated non-surgically for unilateral mandibular condylar fractures during this period. In total, 49 patients with unilateral condylar fractures were treated non-surgically in 1972-1976. Of these, 23 pa

High spectral resolution (0.004 cm(-1)) infrared solar absorption measurements Of CO, C2H6, and HCN have been recorded with the Fourier transform spectrometer located at the Network for the Detection of Stratospheric Change complementary station at the University of Wollongong, Australia (34.45 degreesS, 150.88 degreesE, 30 m above sea level). The time series covers March 1997 to February 1998. Pr

Under 1680-talet trädde Sophia Elisabet Brenner fram som poet och blev snart känd och uppskattad för sina dikter vid olika tillfällen i livet. Tillfällesdiktningen var en flexibel genre som gav henne möjligheten att resonera om tidens aktuella frågor, till exempel kvinnans ställning i äktenskap och samhälle eller värderingen av det som var gammalt och fornt och det som var nytt. Hennes rykte spred

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Streptococcus pyogenes, eller grupp A streptokocker, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna hos människan. De orsakar ofta relativt harmlösa och lättbehandlade ytliga infektioner i hals (halsfluss) och hud (svinkoppor) men kan också ge djupare och livshotande infektioner. Dessutom förekommer följdsjukdomar efter infektioner med grupp A streptoPathogenic bacteria often produce potent proteases capable of destroying host tissue thereby providing the bacteria with tools for spreading and nutrient access. This thesis describes how group A, C and G streptococci can acquire surface bound protease activity through an alternative mechanism, namely by binding and activation of the human protease precursor plasminogen. Group A streptococci of c

Objective: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has been extensively study regarding elective and ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. However, much less is known about EVAR of symptomatic nonruptured AAA, especially concerning the long-term results. The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of EVAR of symptomatic AAA compared with asymptomatic AAA at a tertiary center using a si

Den svenska successionsrätten innefattar en rätt för bröstarvingar att erhålla en laglott. Bestämmelserna har blivit anklagade för att vara föråldrade och har varit omdebatterad såväl i media som i riksdagen. Följande uppsats kommer att undersöka om laglotten har blivit föråldrad och utröna vilka argument som kan tänkas motivera ett bibehållande av lagstiftningen. Syftet är att se hur gällande rätThe Swedish law of succession includes a right for the direct heir to retain a part of the heritage if the deceased have drawn a will. This phenomenon is called statutory share of inheritance (in Swedish: laglott). The regulations have been accused of being out-of-date and have been up for debate in both media as well as in the parliament. Following essay will examine if the statutory share is out

Avtalsfrihet är en viktig princip i ett skiljeförfarande. Parterna kan genom avtal påverka handläggningen i skiljenämnden och konstruera regler som binder skiljemännen i bedömningen av deras tvist. Det finns dock begränsningar för avtalsfriheten, då förfarandet måste uppnå vissa rättssäkerhetsgarantier och parterna måste ha möjlighet att föra sin talan. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka omFreedom of contract is an important principle in arbitration. The parties may by agreement affect the arbitration proceedings and construct procedural rules that bind the arbitrators in the assessment of their dispute. However, there are restrictions on the freedom of contract, since the procedure must attain certain procedural safeguards and the parties must have the opportunity to present their

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find

Wetlands are valuable ecosystems, and assets for human life, that must be regularly monitored, starting with accurately mapping their location and extent. However, an updated national inventory of wetlands is needed. The availability of multi-source data, and advanced machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) offers excellent opportunities to map wetlands on a country-wide scale. Th

Tonkilometermetoden används för beräkning av andelstal för enskilda vägar som är gemensamhetsanläggningar. Den trafikmängd som olika fastighetstyper genererar återspeglas i vissa framtagna schablonvärden. Eftersom det saknas framtagna schablonvärden för specialfastigheter såsom vindkraftverk och vattenkraftverk har jag genom detta examensarbete undersökt möjligheten att ta fram schablonvärden för The ton kilometer method is used to calculate participatory shares for private roads which is joint facility. The amount of traffic that different property types generate is reflected in certain produced templates. Because there are no templates for special properties such as wind turbines and hydroelectric plants I have investigated if it is possible to produce these types of values. I have also

Background and Purpose - Aortic valve stenosis may lead to atrial and ventricular remodeling, predisposes to atrial fibrillation, and may also be an independent risk factor of ischemic stroke. However, information on stroke rates among persons with aortic valve stenosis are sparse. We aimed to determine the incidence rates and relative risks of ischemic stroke in individuals with diagnosed aortic

Objective: Recent randomised controlled trials demonstrated the benefit of intracranial endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischaemic stroke. There is no consensus, however, on how to treat concomitant extracranial carotid artery stenosis after EVT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome in patients treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) after EVT, comparing complication rates a

BACKGROUND: Recipient age and donor age are well-known prognostic factors in adult heart transplantation. However, the association between donor age and recipient age and their interaction and short- and long-term mortality is unknown. METHODS: We studied 64,354 heart transplants to adult recipients between 1988 and 2013 in the ISHLT Registry. Donor age and recipient age were analyzed as continuou

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) fueled by hydrogen are considered to be most suitable for automotive applications owing to their fast dynamics and high power densities. However, the performances are limited primarily by processes in PEMFCs appeared in the catalyst layers (CLs), which highly dependon themicroscopic structure-related properties.TheCLs at both the anode and cathode h

Background: Breakthroughs in the treatment of preterm birth approximately 40 years ago have enabled a generation of preterm survivors to now reach mid-adulthood. Understanding their health sequelae is essential for guiding their long-term care. We did a study to examine preterm birth in relation to mortality into mid-adulthood. Methods: A national cohort study was done of all 4 296 814 singleton l
