20 års wandranden i Skogarna här: den halländska jägeristaten vid Faurås häradsrätt 1761-1805

Uppsatsen fokuserar på jägeristaten och deras roll som lokala statliga ämbetsmän, klämda mellan stat och allmoge i den känsliga skogsfrågan under åren 1761-1805. I uppsatsen skildras situationen ur jägeribetjänternas perspektiv. Ämbetsgruppen beskylls ofta för att ha varit korrumperad och ha begått övergrepp mot allmogen, vilket undersökningen inte stödjer. Resultaten talar för att de olika indiv

The Nordic Regionalism From the ‘Below’: The old and the new division of regionalism and the reason behind the weak Nordic cooperation on security and economy

Regionalism, that has been always with us in different forms throughout the history and emerged as an alternative theory after the end of Cold War, enables us to explain new world order. Since the end of WWII, there are two types of regionalism explaining the dynamics of regional formations. The one that came into question from the end of WWII till end of Cold War is names as ‘old’ regionalism and

The Ideal and the Reality of Human Rights-as They Relate to Same-sex Marriage

In the thesis, first the author discussed whether same-sex marriage is a human right, and why it is a human right. After that, the author argued against those obstacles, such as religious or cultural objections, that denying such a human right, and the last part the author tried to analyse why there is a gap between the ideal and reality human right, especially in the same-sex marriage issue and w

Kulturell anpassning av spansk essätext

Detta examensarbete grundar sig på en översättning av Gabo y Fidel. El paiaje de una amistad (2004) av Ángel Esteban och Stephanie Panichelli. Boken handlar om vänskapen mellan författaren García Márquez och Fidel Castro. Min uppsats består av en inledande textanalys efter den modell som Hellspong & Ledin (1997) presenterar. Därefter följer en genomgång av överväganden och strategier för övers

Problem: Groin pain is common in soccer players but the prevalence has only been examined in uncontrolled studies. Methods: 479 male soccer players aged 25 years (17 - 43) (mean with range), 144 female soccer players aged 23 years (16 - 47), 74 men with no history of soccer training aged 26 years (16 - 42) and 94 women with no history of soccer training aged 23 years (range 15 - 43) answered a mai

Prevention of falls in old people-a review

Physical training, if including specific different training modalities, reduces the fall risk in healthy community-dwelling older people, as does a home hazards modification programme. Vitamin D supplementation in older individuals with low levels of vitamin D, adjustment of psychotropic medication, and structured modification of multi-pharmacy are all drug-focused programmes that reduce the numbe

Measurement of vertebral rotation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with low-dose CT in prone position - method description and reliability analysis

Background: To our knowledge there is no report in the literature on measurements of vertebral rotation with low-dose computed tomography (CT) in prone position.Aims: To describe and test the reliability of this new method, compare it with other methods in use and evaluate the influence of body position on the degree of vertebral rotation measured by different radiological methods.Study design: Re

The increase in physical performance and gain in lean and fat mass occur in prepubertal children independent of mode of school transportation. One year data from the prospective controlled Pediatric Osteoporosis Prevention (POP) study

Background: The aim of this 12-month study in pre-pubertal children was to evaluate the effect of school transportation on gain in lean and fat mass, muscle strength and physical performance. Methods: Ninety-seven girls and 133 boys aged 7-9 years from the Malmö Pediatric Osteoporosis Prevention Study were included. Regional lean and fat mass were assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, isok

Effects of multiparity and prolonged breast-feeding on maternal bone mineral density : a community-based cross-sectional study

Background: Studies conducted in Western countries have shown that bone loss associated with pregnancy and breast-feeding is recovered after weaning. However, it is not clear whether recovery takes place after repeated pregnancies followed by prolonged periods of breast-feeding; especially in developing countries where nutritional intake is comparatively low.This study was designed to examine the

Complications and outcome in open carpal tunnel release. A 6-year follow-up in 92 patients

In this retrospective study, 92 patients (83% attendance rate) were examined 6 years after open carpal tunnel release. A questionnaire was answered by the patient and a physical examination was made by an independent observer. Five complications were found, of which 4 were early postoperative problems and one was a major complication with long-term disability. In one third of the patients numerous

Ligament lengthening compared with simple division of the transverse carpal ligament in the open treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome

It has been suggested that the new (and controversial) endoscopic techniques are more successful than standard operation for the preservation of the ligamentous pulley function across the carpal tunnel and for the separation of the gliding structures from the subcutaneous tissues after release of the carpal ligament in carpal tunnel syndrome. We therefore decided to study the possible importance o

Erythropoietin and desmopressin obviated transfusion in a thromboasthenic Jehovah's Witness undergoing scoliosis surgery

A 13-year-old female Jehovah's Witness with thromboasthenia was scheduled for scoliosis surgery. To reduce the risk of heterologous transfusion, she was given erythropoietin for 2 weeks preoperatively. Bleeding time and platelet dysfunction normalized during erythropoietin treatment, but the hemoglobin concentration increased only marginally. Desmopressin and tranexamic acid were given as cover fo

Post-traumatic osteoarthrosis after tibial shaft fractures A 30-year-follow-up

In 1990, a retrospective case control study was performed based on all patients with tibial shaft fractures (n = 767) treated at the Department of Orthopaedics in Malmö 1949-1963. At the time of the study 231 of the patients were still living in Malmö . All radiographic examinations of this latter group from the time of the fracture to 1990 were studied and the occurrence of osteoarthrosis (OA) of

Bone mineral mass in hip fracture patients

The aims of this study were to measure the bone mineral density (BMD) and some anthropometric variables in patients with hip fracture, to compare these data with those from controls, and to compare the fractured and unfractured hip. Bone mineral measurements with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) were undertaken in 93 consecutive hip fracture patients, 26 men and 67 women, with a mean age of

The ankle fracture as an index of future fracture risk : A 25-40 year follow-up of 1063 cases

In 1992 a retrospective case control study was performed, based on all patients with ankle fractures (n 1063) treated at the Department of Orthopedics in Malmö Sweden, between 1950-1951 and 1961-1965. As all radiographic examinations have been saved in Malmö we were able to study all subsequent fractures that this group had sustained. 260 patients from 1961-1965 who were still living in Malmö toda

Bone mineral normative data in Malmö, Sweden : Comparison with reference data and hip fracture incidence in other ethnic groups

The bone mineral mass was measured in 324 residents of the city of Malmö Sweden, by dual energy roentgen absorptiometry (DEXA) using the Lunar DPX equipment - total body, hip, and lumbar vertebrae. the bone mineral content of the wrist was also measured with single photon absorptiometry (SPA) in 88 of the individuals. Weight, height, and vertebral height, as well as body fat, lean body mass, menar

Arthrodesis of the trapeziometacarpal joint

Because degenerative changes in the trapeziometacarpal joint are a common cause of pain and weakness of the thumb, particularly in postmenopausal women, we have evaluated the functional and radiological results of arthrodesis in 43 patients. Arthrodesis is a safe and effective way of treating isolated painful arthritis in the trapeziometacarpal joint; solid fusion occurred in 39 cases, and four pa

Tracking of physical activity with accelerometers over a 2-year time period

Background: Limited data exist of tracking and changes in accelerometer-measured physical activity in children. Methods: Physical activity was assessed by accelerometers for 4 days in 167 children (boys, n = 90; girls n = 77) age 9.8 ± 0.6 years. Follow-up measurement was made 2.0 ± 0.1 yrs later (range 1.9-2.1 yrs). General physical activity (GPA) was defined as mean count/minute. Minutes of inac
