Invandrares hälsa är sämre än totalbefolkningens. Jämlik hälsa är en nationell målsättning. Kan en hälsokommunikativ intervention påverka nyanlända flyktingars och invandrares hälsa? Denna artikel beskriver hur hälsokommunikatörsverksamheten etablerats, utvärderats och spridits. Forskningsprojektet IMHAd – Impact of Multicultural Health Advisors – har med hjälp av en longitudinell kohortstudie för

Carotenoids and vitamin C are thought to be associated with reduced cancer risk because of their antioxidative capacity.

It is known that human errors are the cause of most structural failures. Extreme loads or material deficiencies are normally of secondary importance. This Project has studied the human factor in the design phase; how subjective decisions, individual knowledge and the use of advance tools and codes affect structural safety and structural design. 17 Swedish structural engineers from the house-buildi

The objective was to study obesity and insulin resistance in relation to leisure time physical activity (LTPA) and occupational physical activity (OPA) in a Swedish population, with particular focus on sex differences. Using a cross-sectional design, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), glucose/insulin metabolism, blood pressure, heart rate, self-reported education, smoking, alcohol consump

This paper presents measurements of the moisture storage capacity for several different porous building materials. The storage capacity is measured by a sorption balance in the hygroscopic range and with pressure plate and pressure membrane extractors in the superhygroscopic range. The results are presented both as retention curves and sorption isotherms and indicate, among other things, that some

A pronounced membrane selectivity is demonstrated for short, hydrophilic, and highly charged antimicrobial peptides, end-tagged with aromatic amino acid stretches. The mechanisms underlying this were investigated by a method combination of fluorescence and CD spectroscopy, ellipsometry, and Langmuir balance measurements, as well as with functional assays on cell toxicity and antimicrobial effects.

A measurement of the positive streamer charge has been performed at atmospheric conditions in a quasi-uniform electric field where the discharge was electrically triggered. By applying a square impulse voltage to the trigger electrode, which was close to, but electrically isolated from, the anode, a positive streamer discharge with one discharge event was produced. The voltage, current and luminos

Abstract in Uncoded languages El presente trabajo describe el proceso participativo vinculado al desarrollo y la implementación del prototipo de un modelo que tiene como principal objetivo servir de soporte durante el procesos de Evaluación Integrada de la Sostenibilidad (EIS) de diferentes opciones políticas de gestión de los recursos hídricos a diferentes niveles de acción. El modelo – llamado e

Alla vet att husen på Bo01 byggdes under kort tid under mycken stress. I en byggprocess så kort som Bo01s får ofta konstruktören sitta emellan. Han (eller hon) hinner inte detaljera arkitektens sena idéer tills de skall förvekligas i den brutala verkligheten.

Armeringens placering betyder mycket för om putsen på isoleringen på en fasad spricker. Genom att använda ett bruk med liten krympning i kombination med fiberinblandning kan sprickbildningen reduceras.
