Om författaren Axel Wallengren (1865–96).

The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials, Inc. (RIFM) has been engaged in the generation and evaluation of safety data for fragrance materials since its inception over 45 years ago. Over time, RIFM's approach to gathering data, estimating exposure and assessing safety has evolved as the tools for risk assessment evolved. This publication is designed to update the RIFM safety assessment proce

Our aim with this report is to discuss vehicle fuels from a wide perspective of sustainability. Biofuels and electricity are analyzed and compared to fossil vehicle fuels. Our goal is to try to point out the circumstances under which vehicle fuels can be reasonably perceived as sustainable, and which systems we should develop and which we should avoid. The all-embracing conclusion of this study is

Background and Objective: Several investigations indicated that laser Doppler flowmetry on the liver surface reflects relative changes of the total liver blood flow. In this study, Laser Doppler Perfusion Imaging (LDI), monitoring the surface only, was used for measurements of tissue perfusion of normal and/or impaired liver, pancreas, spleen, stomach and intestine, and the blood flow of hepatic t

BACKGROUND: In Lithuania, the legislation addressing confidentiality in adolescent healthcare is contradictory and vague. Previous studies have also revealed that medico-legal knowledge among physicians is poor, and attitudes play a correspondingly greater role than legal knowledge in ensuring the confidentiality of patients. OBJECTIVE: To survey the knowledge of Lithuanian general practitioner (G

Using examples from authentic Swedish and Czech everyday conversation, we show how absent ethnic groups are categorised. In sequences where people or groups are attributed an ethnic identity, the speakers usually start by introducing a positive "we"-concept, which is then contrasted against the negative "they"-concept. Our main question in this analysis is: How can you speak about ethnic groups so

OBJECTIVE: To examine how different scoring models for a diet quality index influence associations with mortality outcomes. DESIGN: A study within the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. Food and nutrient intakes were estimated using a diet history method. The index included six components: SFA, PUFA, fish and shellfish, fibre, fruit and vegetables, and sucrose. Component scores were assigned using pre

OBJECTIVE: Mediolateral knee movement can be assessed visually with clinical tests. A knee-medial-to-foot position is associated with an increased risk of knee injuries and pathologies. However, the implications of such findings on daily tasks are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate if a knee-medial-to-foot position assessed during a clinical test was associated with alte

In the early seventies Paola Zancani Montuoro suggested that a large paved structure, which had recently been uncovered at the site of Sybaris/Thourioi in southern Italy, was the remains of an ancient neosoikos, or shipshed. This idea quickly gained widespread acceptance and is still often repeated, despite some objections having been raised. In this paper it is argued that the structure, which ca

The intensities of hydrogen Lyman-α and Balmer series emission lines as a result of photoexcitation of free CH4 and NH3 molecules at the C 1s and N 1s edges have been measured. For methane, the total fluorescence yield in the visible region (300–650 nm) was also recorded. Excitation functions of the Balmer lines show relative intensity enhancement of Balmer-β emission in comparison with Balmer-α a

A modified Delphi method was used to determine thresholds for Minimum Data Set quality indicators for Icelandic nursing homes. The thresholds were then applied to quality outcomes in Icelandic nursing homes for the year 2009. The thresholds indicate areas of good or poor care and can be used for planning services. Icelandic nursing homes seem to be doing best in incontinence and nutritional care.
