A new kind of linguistic exercise based on concordances samples from BNC was first used experimentally in an English lecture at a Vietnamese university for two groups: one was using concordances, one not. The group using concordances could get more correct answers and devlop activeness in exploring word structures and rules.
PURPOSE: Determine the feasibility of 1 H-[13 C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus using a 14.1T magnet.METHODS: We optimized the design of a 1 H-[13 C] surface coil to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio of 1 H-[13 C] MRS in the mouse hypothalamus. With enhanced signal, 13 C accumulation in glucose metabolites was measured in a 8.7 µL voxel in the hypothalamus of 5 healthy mice during the continuous a
Objectives The aims of this national study in Sweden of patients with RA were to: examine the prevalence of sustained remission (SR), that is, remission lasting for at least 6 months; compare the prevalence of SR in patients with early RA and established RA; study the timing of onset of and time spent in SR; and study possible predictors of SR. Methods Adult patients with RA included in the Swedis
Mexico is the most transited corridor in the world. Beyond borderlands, human rights abuses committed against migrants pervade across transit communities and routes. In the interior of Mexico, not only at borders, the criminalization of migration has occurred having as a backdrop violence, xenophobia and insecurity in transit communities. Transit communities have developed complex relationships wi
Objective: To study the association between country of birth and incident dementia in several immigrant groups in Sweden. Methods: The study population included all adults (n = 3,286,624) aged 45 years and older in Sweden. Dementia was defined as having at least one registered diagnosis of dementia in the National Patient Register. The incidence of dementia in different immigrant groups, using Swe
Five mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the androgen receptor gene were identified in patients with complete (A765T, C784Y, R831X and M895T) or partial (R830G) androgen insensitivity, A765T and R831X have been reported previously whereas the other three mutations are novel. Receptors carrying these mutations were transiently expressed in COS-1 cells, and androgen binding and capacity to tra
Description of the bicentenary celebration of Lund University 1868, in particular describing the expressions of Scandinavistic ideology found in the rhetoric and symbols used before and during the festivities.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla växter utsätts för någon form av stress i sin dagliga miljö. Till exempel råder det väldigt sällan optimala tillväxtförhållanden på en åker, där ogräsen konkurrerar, insekterna knaprar, svamparna frodas och olika näringsbrister kan råda, för att inte tala om de torra somrarna. Det är alltså troligt att en växt utsätts för ett flertal stressfaktorer samtidigt, vilkePlants are exposed to many different stress factors during their lifetime, often more than one factor at a time, which highlights the importance of research regarding interaction among stress factors. Cadmium and ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-315 nm) are two potential stress factors in the environment, which have gained increased interest due to atmospheric pollution. In this work the intera
This thesis consists of three papers in which different topics in spaces of analytic functions are considered. These papers are: I. "Estimates in Möbius Invariant Spaces of Analytic Functions." II. "Preduals of Q_p-spaces and Carleson Embeddings of Weighted Dirichlet Spaces." III. "On the Spectrum of the Cesàro Operator on Spaces of Analytic Functions." The first two papers are closely related
Background: To assess balance in single-limb stance, center of pressure movements can be registered by stabilometry with force platforms. This can be used for evaluation of injuries to the lower extremities. It is important to ensure that the assessment tools we use in the clinical setting and in research have minimal measurement error. Previous studies have shown that the ability to maintain stan
Abstract in FinnishSex-determination is commonly categorized as either "genetic" or "environmental"-a classification that obscures the origin of this dichotomy and the evolution of sex-determining factors. The current focus on static outcomes of sex-determination provides little insight into the dynamic developmental processes by which some mechanisms acquire the role of sex determinants. Systems
T cells are crucial players in cell-mediated immunity. The specificity of their receptor, the T cell receptor (TCR), is central for the immune system to distinguish foreign from host antigens. Superantigens are bacterial toxins capable of inducing a toxic immune response by cross-linking the TCR and the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II and circumventing the antigen specificity. Here
Objective. To estimate the incidence of dystocia among nulliparous women without apparent co-morbidity and to examine maternal and fetal short-term outcomes after dystocia. Design. A multi-center cohort study with prospectively collected data. Setting. Nine obstetric departments with annual birth rates between 850 and 5,400. Population. Low-risk nulliparous women in term spontaneous labor with a s
