The present communication describes the use of an emissions barrier to prevent spread of hydrolysis products from plastizisers in plastic mats and from the glue used to attach such mats onto a concrete slab. In particular, 2-ethylhexanol was focussed at. Elevated air concentrations of 2-ethylhexanol has been associated with a range of health symptoms such as e.g. cough, airways irritation, fatique
4-5.1 Sammanfattning av Glutamat och GABA vid Schizofreni1H-MRS och kronisk schizofreni1H-MRS visar att alla Schizofreni patienter hade ett signifikant lägre N-AcetylAsparagin-syra(NAA) till Kreatin(Cr) nivåförhållande i frontalloben än kontrollerna. Resultaten indikerar att det finns ett samband mellan det Glutamat-erga systemet och patofysiologin vid Schizofreni. (Szulc et al., 2013).GABA och gl
The etiology of type 1 diabetes foreshadows the pancreatic islet beta-cell autoimmune pathogenesis that heralds the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes. Standardized and harmonized tests of autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), islet antigen-2 (IA-2A) and ZnT8 transporter (ZnT8A) allowed children to be followed from birth until the appearance of a first islet auto
In recent years the list of disorders affecting amino acid synthesis has grown rapidly. Not only the number of defects has increased, but also the associated clinical phenotypes have expanded spectacular, the latter mainly due to the advances of next-generation sequencing diagnostics. An important reason for the contribution of NGS in the diagnosis of amino acid synthesis disorders is the fact tha
En teknik för att förhindra yterosion och samla ytavrinning är bygga jordvallar (1–1,5 m höga) parallellt medhöjdkurvorna. Denna teknik används över stora områden i Tunisien. I denna studie undersöks hur dessa jord-vallar påverkar ytjordens rumsliga variabilitet av markvattenhalt (θ) och salinitet, dels uttryckt som jordenstotala elektriska konduktivitet (σa) och dels som porvattnets elektriska koOne technique for collecting rainwater and prevent soil erosion applied on large areas in Tunisia involves theuse of soil ridges (1–1.5 m high). These contour ridges are constructed parallel to topographical isolines. Theeffects of the contour ridges on the soil water content (θ) distribution, bulk soil salinity σa, and soil water salin-ity (σw) were investigated in the catchment of El-Gouazine in
The chapter deals with Seediq vocal expressions that start with a short motif that is often repeated once and then followed by another motif, which is repeated once etc. This pattern is sometimes called ‘litany form’. The form that results when two persons sing in alternation is called canonic repetition. It is shown that such performances can be understood as being built on performance templates
This study investigates levels of oral proficiency in French, German and Spanish attained by Swedish speaking students in lower secondary school. A total of 122 students performed two tasks: one production task and one interaction task. The oral performances were rated using scales from the Common European Framework of Referencefor Languages. The rating was done in successive steps by researchers
Females aged between 13 and 17 years old possess the highest non-contact ACL injury incidence of any sex-age strata. Considering that energy absorption strategies have been associated with a reduced risk for sustaining an ACL injury, evaluating landing performance in youth athletes requires investigations beyond the kinematic level. The purpose of this study was to identify sex-specific energy abs
This is a report from the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology State-of-the-Art Virtual Meeting held December 14-16, 2020. The unique 3-day conference offered comprehensive state-of-the-art summaries on the major advances in the treatment of different types of gynecological cancers. Sessions opened with a case presentation followed by a keynote lecture and interactive debates with opinion l
CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of statins and other lipid-lowering agents on the development of Graves orbitopathy (GO) in patients with newly diagnosed Graves disease (GD). METHODS: Our sample included the full adult population of individuals living in Sweden with newly diagnosed GD between 2005 and 2018 (n = 34 894). We compared the GO incidence in statin user
Background: Ovarian torsion is a gynecological surgical emergency whose diagnosis remains a challenge. Torsion occurs most frequently in women of reproductive age. It is usually associated with the presence of benign masses in the ovary, as malignant tumors are less frequent and less prone to undergo torsion. Case presentation: We report the case of a 17-year-old Caucasian patient who presented to
COVID-19 restrictions may prevent people from reaching recommended levels of physical activity (PA). This study examines self-perceived changes in the extent and intensity of PA during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the relation between perceived changes in PA and general life satisfaction and perceived physical capacity. A total of 1318 participants (mean age 47.8 SD12.6; 82.1% women) were recruited
The prevailing demographic change in the western world means that theworkforce is becoming older. Farmers in particular often work beyond the normalretirement age, in a challenging physical environment. For example, the agriculturalsector has the most hazardous work environment in Sweden. Therefore, it is interestingto examine the following questions: Are senior farmers more frequently involvedin
Aims and objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's
OBJECTIVE: To compare consultations carried out via video with those performed in person for patients with painful, hard-to-heal ulcers, with a focus on ulcer pain and pain treatment. A further aim was to investigate predictors for pain and pain treatment.METHOD: This was a register-based, quasi-experimental study based on data from the Swedish Registry of Ulcer Treatment (RUT). A total of 100 pat
Spina bifida (SB) is a debilitating birth defect caused by multiple gene and environment interactions. Though SB shows non-Mendelian inheritance, genetic factors contribute to an estimated 70% of cases. Nevertheless, identifying human mutations conferring SB risk is challenging due to its relative rarity, genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, and environmental influences that hamper genome
This article discusses the multi-faceted and changing role played by trade unions in providing unemployment benefits in Sweden, a country using the so-called Ghent system. As an important institutional feature explaining the high rate of unionisation in the Nordics, the system has been much debated. This article provides a comprehensive account of the retrenchment of the state unemployment benefit
European infrastructure managers (IMs) create annual timetables for trains that will run during a year. Freight trains in Sweden often deviate from this by being added, cancelled, delayed or early, resulting in increased costs for IMs and railway undertakings (RUs). We investigate the frequency of and causes for these deviations, using one year of operational data for 48,000 trains, and 15 stakeho
This article aims to investigate how articulations of women’s relation to the welfare state and modes of political agency has changed in Sweden between 1977 and 2017; a period characterized by the introduction and implementation of a neoliberal political rationality. By way of discourse analysis, the article highlights the reciprocal relationship between the construction of the welfare state and w
