Suspicion is endemic to police ethnography. As research has demonstrated, the police repeatedly probe into the ethnographer’s intent and purposes. Is the ethnographer observing police work to ‘simply’ carry out research? Or is the ethnographer actually there to help develop the profession or, worse, to deviously disclose police secrets? Yet, doing police ethnography not only involves the ethnograp
We compared the differences between spring and autumn in migration speed, fuelling rates and fuel loads of migrating Red Knots Calidris canutus. As a basis we used ringing data from Ottenby Bird Observatory, southeastern Sweden, collected 1948–2003, with morphometrical data from 1990–2003. Numbers ringed varied between 0 and 301 per year (average 56). Morphometrics, recoveries and recaptures of ri
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen innehåller fyra arbeten om några aspekter på ickelineära paraboliska ekvationer och system. I det första arbetet presenterar vi ett resultat om "quenching" vid dynamiska randvillkor. Det andra arbetet rör global existens av klassiska lösningar till vissa paraboliska system. I det tredje arbetet bestämmer vi optimala konstanter för vissa Gagliardo-NirenbergThis thesis contains four papers about some aspects of nonlinear parabolic equations and systems. Paper 1. A note on quenching for parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions We present a quenching result for semilinear parabolic equations with dynamic boundary conditions in bounded domains with a smooth boundary. Paper 2. On global existence for semilinear parabolic systems We presen
Objective. Helicobacter DNA has been detected in the hepatobiliary tree of patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD). The presence of H. pylori in the stomach compared with in the liver of the same patients with CLD has not been studied, therefore to the aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Helicobacter DNA and antigens in the liver and stomach of Polish patients with chronic live
Derivatised polysaccharides are polymers from renewable sources of great importance in a whole range of different industries. However, only until recently have their characterisation been hampered by the lack of suitable instrumental methods or rather combination of suitable instrumentation. This review gives details on the state-of-the-art on polysaccharide analysis, especially focussing on starc
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the effects of hypobaric pressure on cochlear hydrodynamics in patents with well-defined Meniere's disease. DESIGN: Sixteen patients were consecutively selected. Elevated hearing threshold levels and pathological transtympanal electrocochleography (tt-ECOG) were confirmed at the day of trial. The patients were exposed to repeated episodes of hypobaric pressure in a pressur
Five hundred and sixty-one managers in Central and Eastern Europe were asked how much they relied on each of eight sources of quidance in handling eight relatively routine work events. A previous study indicated particularly strong reliance on one's own experience and training in the Czech Republic and Hungary. Managers from Poland and Slovakia relied more on superiors, while in Romania and Bulgar
The Aslian language family, located in the Malay Peninsula and southern Thai Isthmus, consists of four distinct branches comprising some 18 languages. These languages predate the now dominant Malay and Thai. The speakers of Aslian languages exhibit some of the highest degree of phylogenetic and societal diversity present in Mainland Southeast Asia today, among them a foraging tradition particularl
Objective. To assess the accuracy and reproducibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic abdominal fertility sparing radical trachelectomy in women with early stage cervical cancer. Methods. Relevant prospective clinical data from 13 consecutive women planned for robotic radical trachelectomy between 2007 and 2012 were compared with retrospective data from 12 consecutive women planned for vaginal radi
Results of reliability studies on physical performance tests are often conflicting. The main purpose of this study was to analyse the inter-rater reliability and between-days repeatability of physical performance tests on a female working population. Twenty-two nursing aides/ assistant nurses were tested twice, with, on average, a 5-day interval. Seventeen of these were tested again, after an aver
We have previously shown that ghrelin is mainly localized to the stomach but also occurs, together with the prokinetic hormone motilin, in endocrine cells in the proximal small intestine. This study explored ghrelin and motilin concentrations in plasma in relation to gastrointestinal motility and whether plasma ghrelin is changed in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Nine patients with
CYLD was originally identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in familial cylindromatosis. Recent studies suggested a role for CYLD in nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) regulation. NF-kappaB activation has been connected with multiple aspects of oncogenesis but the underlying molecular mechanisms of persistent NF-kappaB activation in tumors remain largely unknown. Thus, we evaluated CYLD tr
C-peptide in the classification of diabetes in children and adolescents. Aim: To report C-peptide results in newly diagnosed patients and the relation to clinical diagnosis of diabetes. Methods: A nation-wide cohort, the Better Diabetes Diagnosis study was used to determine serum C-peptide at diagnosis in 2734 children and adolescents. Clinical data were collected at diagnosis and follow-up. C-pep
