Otto och tomrummet Medan han gick längs gatorna i staden Magdeburg funderade Otto på något han hade hört. Den senaste astronomis- ka frågan som cirkulerade i den vetenskapliga (och icke-vetenskapliga) världen gällde saker som: Kretsar jorden kring solen? Är universums centrum inte jorden utan solen? Till en början ansågs tanken befängd, inte bara för att den stred direkt mot Aristoteles lära utan

Background Smokers have a substantially increased risk of postoperative complications. Preoperative smoking intervention may be effective in decreasing this incidence, and surgery may constitute a unique opportunity for smoking cessation interventions. Objectives The objectives of this review are to assess the effect of preoperative smoking intervention on smoking cessation at the time of surgery

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodbildande stamceller förekommer i mänsklig benmärg i en frekvens på ca 1/100 000 celler. Med hjälp av cellytemarkörer, t.ex. CD34, kan man rena fram cellpopulationer som är anrikade på stamceller, men det saknas exakt kunskap om hur enskilda stamceller ser ut. De blodbildande stamcellerna har förmåga att vid celldelning antingen förnya sig själva eller att mogna ut. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have the capacity to maintain hematopoiesis throughout life. HSCs are ideal targets for permanent gene transfer, as the transgene will be expressed in all the progeny of the gene-modified stem cells. The aim of this thesis was to optimize conditions for retroviral gene transfer to human candidate HSCs and to study mechanisms interfering with efficient gene transfer.

Framtidens energilagring banar väg åt förnyelsebar elenergi Andelen förnyelsebar elenergi på marknaden ökar ständigt. En negativ aspekt med dessa källor är att vi inte kan kontrollera när energin skall vara tillgänglig – vindkraften behöver vind och solkraften behöver strålande sol. För att överkomma dessa motsättningar och göra energin mer tillförlitlig behöver vind och solenergi kompletteras meIn this study, different membranes were tested for their use in a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB). The membranes were first tested under charge-discharge operation of the VRB over four charge-discharge cycles at different current densities (20 mAcm-2, 40 mA cm-2 and 60 mAcm-2) and the corresponding cell performance was evaluated in terms of total energy efficiency (EE), coulombic efficiency (CE)

Hållbar utveckling är idag ett centralt begrepp och en vision inom alla tänkbara samhällsområden. Det utgör kärnan i svensk planeringslagstiftning. Såväl kommunalt översiktsplanearbete som regionalt utvecklingsarbete har tydliga perspektiv för en hållbar utveckling. Sveriges samhällsorganisation kan karaktäriseras av ett timglas med en stark stat, starka kommuner och en svag regional nivå i mitten

Augustenborg is suburb city in Malmö south of Sweden. The climate is temperate with occasional snow during the winter. Open storm water is applied in Augustenborg since late 1990s and the storm water is disconnected from the combined sewer system in order to give the area a lift up value and to solve the flooding problems in basements after heavy rainfall events. The new open system consists of po

Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att, ur ett svensk perspektiv, belysa vad pantsättning av varumärken egentligen innebär. Möjligheterna till pantsättning av varumärken, och vad det innebär för en kreditgivare att ha pant i ett varumärke eller varumärkesansökan kommer att utredas. Inledningsvis behandlas den allmänna funktionen och syftet bakom panträtten. Härvid visas att panträttens viktigaste fu

Det varumärkesrättsliga skyddsomfånget har påverkats av den globalisering och internationalisering som marknaden har genomgått under den senare delen av 1900-talet och början av 2000-talet. En tydlig tendens är anpassningen av skyddsomfånget efter varumärkens ekonomiska värde. Uppsatsen besvarar frågan vilket skydd väl ansedda varumärken åtnjuter enligt svensk varumärkesrätt och hur detta skydd är

Samhällets behov av förnyelsebara energikällor har ökat; i april 2009 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2009/28/EG om främjande av användningen av energi från förnybara energikällor och om ändring och ett senare upphävande av direktiven 2001/77/EG samt 2003/30/EG. För Sveriges del innebar antagandet att Sverige fick som nationellt övergripande mål att andelen energi från förnybara enerSociety’s need of renewable sources of energy has increased; in April 2009 the European Parliament and Council adopted the directive 2009/28/EG on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC. For Sweden this meant the adoption of a new general objective in which the national goal is to have 49 percent of the

STUDY QUESTION Does an intensive weight reduction programme prior to IVF increase live birth rates for infertile obese women? SUMMARY ANSWER An intensive weight reduction programme resulted in a large weight loss but did not substantially affect live birth rates in obese women scheduled for IVF. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN Among obese women, fertility and obstetric outcomes are influenced negatively wit

Older people with arrhythmias comprise a large group requiring complex care, posing many healthcare challenges. Rapid growth of the older population demands a better understanding of the needs of this patient group. The aim of this thesis was to investigate arrhythmia prevalence, incidence, survival, and experiences from the perspective of a geriatric population (aged 60+ years), and to examine th

Socioeconomic status (SES) differences in health are well known. Both material and psychosocial hypotheses regarding these SES differences have been forwarded. Social capital (trust, social participation) may be seen as a contextual and social extension of this debate with access to healthcare as one of the four hypothesized mechanisms between high social capital and health.

Background: Clinical egg allergy is a common food allergy. Current management relies upon strict allergen avoidance. Oral immunotherapy might be an optional treatment, through desensitization to egg allergen. Objectives: To determine the efficacy and safety of oral and sublingual immunotherapy in children and adults with immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated egg allergy as compared to a placebo treatmen

Background: Middle Eastern immigrants represent a growing population in Sweden today. This group are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes than the native population, but are also shown to exhibit unique properties; despite an abundance in traditional cardiometabolic risk factors such as obesity, dearranged blood lipids and diminished physical acitivity, this group seem to exhibit lower blood pressur

Background: According to the “brain-reserve hypothesis” in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), patients with more years of education are expected to have higher cognitive status during adulthood. Hence, they might have a relatively larger burden of AD pathology and a more advanced level of the disease when dementia is clinically evident. Higher educated people would also be expected to perform better on sta

Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu

Importance: Patients who survive severe intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) typically have poor functional outcome in the short term and understanding of future recovery is limited. Objective: To describe 1-year recovery trajectories among ICH and IVH survivors with initial severe disability and assess the association of hospital events with long-term recovery. Des

BACKGROUND: During the last 5 years, there has been an increase in the use of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) to treat knee osteoarthritis in Australia, and these account for almost 6% of annual knee replacement procedures. However, there is debate as to whether a fixed bearing or a mobile bearing design is best for decreasing revision for loosening and disease progression as well as impr
