This article describes the exposure of mild steel plates for one year in a marine harbor environment on the Swedish west coast. Single steel plates where mounted on ropes and exposed to both the splash zone and the submerged zone in three different exposure sites in the harbor. The maximum depth of submersion was approximately 7 m below the mean water level. Salinity, dissolved oxygen content, pH

Inom läkarutbildningen vid Lunds universitet förekommer undervisning i samtalsmetodik under såväl den prekliniska som den kliniska delen. Under kursen i samhällsmedicin på termin 10 träffas grupper om sex till sju studenter och en gruppledare fyra gånger för att diskutera studenternas videoinspelade konsultationer. Vi har utvärderat detta moment genom en klassrumsenkät till samtliga studenter och At Lund University Medical School communication skills are taught during both the preclinical and clinical part of the medical programme. As part of the training during the 5th year the students are required to videotape at least one patient consultation at a local primary health care centre. The students then meet in groups of 6-7 participants and a group leader to watch the recorded consultation

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling behandlas modeller för simulering av läkemedelsfrisättning från enskilda filmdragerade pellets, samtidig frisättning från ett antal filmdragerade pellets, samt frisättning av läkemedel och/eller polymer från svällande polymertabletter. Modellerna är validerade mot experimentella data. Modellen för frisättning från filmdragerade pellets är validerad m

The MR examinations in 25 patients with intramedullary tumors were analyzed. Seven patients were diagnosed with astrocytoma, 6 ependymoma, 2 unspecified glioma, 3 medulloblastoma, 2 metastasis, one neurinoma, and one teratoma. In 3 patients the diagnosis was uncertain. The tumors frequently involved a large portion of the cord and were often accompanied by intratumor necrosis, cystic degeneration,

Swedish universities and government authorities are increasingly making their publications electronically available on the World Wide Web, either on web sites or in local systems, so called institutional repositories. Standardisation of metadata is a way of increasing access to these publications. Tools and workflows are also being developed to secure long term preservation and access. On 18 Octob

Amperometric biosensors for glucose, ethanol, and biogenic amines (putrescine) were constructed using oxidase/peroxidase bienzyme systems. The H₂O₂ produced by the oxidase in reaction with its substrate is converted into a measurable signal via a novel peroxidase purified from sweet potato peels. All developed biosensors are based on redox hydrogels formed of oxidases (glucos

Chironomid remains from the sediment of Lake Vuolep Njakajaure reflect limnological conditions resulting from changing climate and vegetation throughout the Holocene, but do not strictly follow accepted climate trends or the vegetation history based on regional pollen and macrofossil analyses. Chironomid community changes appear to be influenced by organic nutrient input from the surrounding catch

Lifetime tests of solar reflector materials are eligible prior to application, to prove the stability of the optical properties. In this work, six reflector materials were aged outdoors and in a climatic test chamber. The surfaces of the samples were inspected using profilometry and optical microscopy. The total and specular reflectance spectra were measured using spectrophotometry and the weighte

The release of organic compounds during the drying of biomass is a potential environmental problem, it may contribute to air pollution or eutrophication. In many countries there are legal restrictions on the amounts of terpenes that may be released into the atmosphere. When considering bioenergy in future energy systems, it is important that information on the environmental effects is available. T

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteoglykaner (PG), framför allt sådana som bär glykosaminoglykan-sidokedjor av heparansulfat (HS) typ, utgör multifunktionella receptorer på cellytan och i pericellulär matrix hos alla adherenta celler i högre organismer. HS-proteoglykaner är inblandade i många olika cellprocesser, bl.a. koagulation, celltillväxt, och aktivering av enzymer, antienzymer samt bindning tThe present investigation focuses on the role of HS metabolism in cell proliferation. The effect of the HS priming ß-D-xyloside, 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl)-O-ß-D-xylopyranoside (Xyl-2-Nap-6-OH) on the proliferation of normal and transformed cells was studied. Xyl-2-Nap-6-OH inhibited growth of transformed cells to a significantly greater extent than normal cells. The growth inhibition exerted by the xy

In this paper we will investigate the different algebraic varieties and ideals that can be generated from multiple view geometry with uncalibrated cameras. The natural descriptor, Vn, is the image of p3 in P2×p2×...×p2 under n different projections. However, we will show that Vn is not a variety. Another descriptor, the variety Vb, is generated by all bilinear forms between pairs of views and cons

One way to lower the fuel consumption in future vehicles is to replace mechanically driven systems by electrical. The drawback with this solution is the increasing number of electrical loads, which creates more electromagnetic emissions that could disturb the surrounding environment. Many of the electrically driven loads are controlled by pulse width modulation, which could be a source of electrom

The aim of this work was to predict the effect of technological parameters on the physical processes of cheesemaking. To this end we developed and modified techniques with which to measure the physical properties of the curd, such as its permeability and its rheological properties. The effects of different factors, such as pH, temperature, the concentration of casein, the geometry of the curd, app

Consumer packaging has become increasingly important as a value adding product service system, since packages shape the consumer’s experience of product use as well as accelerating and affecting the first purchase decision. Recent research in food packaging has resulted in technological innovations that provide information on the real shelf life and expiration of food products as a service to user

From a paradigmatic understanding of tourism, the thing about tourism experiences is that they differ from everyday life. You experience different places, see different people, get to know different ways of doing things, and so on. To do tourism, then, is to experience a series of changes from the ordinary. Several things change in the course of the making and consumption of a tourism product. For

This thesis is concerned with the ways in which justice is dispensed in Swedish courts in cases concerning anti-Muslim violence. Based on material accessed through the Swedish National Board for Crime Prevention and classified as Islamophobic hate crimes, the judicial treatment of cases that may involve racism is analysed. An aim is to explore how different laws against racism in the Swedish legal

We examined aerobic and anaerobic microbial carbon dioxide (C02) and methane (CH4) exchange in peat samples representing different profiles at natural, mined, mined-abandoned, and restored northern peatlands and characterized the nutrient and substrate chemistry and microbial biomass of these soils. Mining and abandonment led to reduced nutrient and substrate availability and occasionally drier co
