Pelvic floor, prolapse and vaginal birth - A search in medical literature for anatomical repair descriptions of acute obstetrical tears and a study on primiparous women in the delivery room with focus on cysto- and/or rectoceles.

När en kvinna föder barn kan hon få skador i underlivet. Det kan göra att man senare behöver opereras för att t.ex. tarmen eller urinblåsan inte sitter helt fast på sin ursprungliga plats i magen utan istället buktar ut i slidan, något som kallas för framfall. Ca 7000 kvinnor opereras för sådana problem varje år i Sverige och det blir en stor kostnad för samhället. Även om man kan få framfall utanBACKGROUND: It is well-known that pelvic organ prolapses and perineal tears can be a consequence of vaginal birth. Seven thousand women undergo surgery for pelvic organ prolapses in Sweden every year. OBJECTIVE: To search for medical literature that describes the identification and repair of the anatomical structures present in obstetrical perineal tears. To make an attempt to understand how prola

Metabolic effects of 4 weeks training in the fasted state

Effekter av träning i fastande tillstånd Den tydligaste effekten av uthållighetsträning är förbättrad kondition. Ordet kondition kan definieras som samspelet mellan lungor, hjärta, blod och muskler. Lungorna ska växla syrgas från inandningsluften och släppa ut koldioxid. Hjärtat ska pumpa blod till lungorna och ut i kroppen. Blodets uppgift är att syresätta musklerna vid fysisk ansträngning. Allt

Genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes and its complications: analyses of DNA extracted from serum

Upptäcka gener inblandade i diabetes I många sjukdomar, så som diabetes, spelar människans gener en viktig roll i vem som insjuknar och hur utvecklingen sker. Därför är det viktigt att, i den mån det går, identifiera dessa gener så vid insjuknande, ge varje patient en mer specialiserad vård som kan bromsa sjukdomsförloppet. Diabetes är en metabolisk sjukdom där kroppen inte kan reglera glukoshaAbstract Aims/hypothesis Diabetes, a metabolic disease rapidly increasing worldwide, is triggered by both genetic and environmental factors. Longitudinal studies, such as the Malmö Prospective Project (MPP), give a unique opportunity to study life-long risk of developing a disease. In MPP, more than 2,000 individuals developed diabetes during a mean 25-year follow-up time. However, patients with

Staten och konsumtionen - en studie om drivmedelsbeskattningens effekter på konsumtionen

Despite records in consumer prices on fuel, the Swedish fleet of cars is growing even larger, and today consumes more petrol gas and diesel combined than ever before. The Swedish Government has explicitly defined environmental goals for 2020, one of which stating that climate emissions should be cut by 40 percent compared to 1990. One of the most important management control tools for the governme

"Nu kör vi pojkar!": En studie om körledares metoder för att väcka och behålla pojkarnas intresse för körsång

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur fem körledare arbetar med pojkar i kör och hur de väcker deras intresse för körsång. Hur körledarna hanterar pojkars röster när de kommer i målbrottet, hur de ser på vår framtid med pojkar i kör och om det har betydelse om det är en kvinnlig eller manlig körledare. Som metod har jag använt kvalitativa och strukturerade intervjuer med körledare som har Title: ”Let’s sing it boys!”: A study of the choir leaders’ methods in arousing and keeping boys’ interest in choir singing. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how five different choir leaders work with boys in choirs and how they arouse the boys’ interest in choir singing. Furthermore, how they cope with the young male voice when reached adolescence and how the leaders view the future o

Benchmarking i hotellsektorn

The purpose of this thesis is to study and analyze how benchmarking as a tool is being practiced in the Swedish hotel sector, and also to study what potentials and abilities for learning and development there are. In order to fulfill the purpose we have compared how selected hotels apply benchmarking in practice. We applied a qualitative method with a deductive approach in terms of a multiple cas

Advanced processing of vertically aligned nanodevices

Lithography technique is highly dependent on the photoresist that is used for the processing of the nanodevices. S1800 series photoresist is probably the most used positive photoresist for UV-lithography process. In this project the electrical and optical properties of the photoresist S1800 are studied in order to find if photoresist could be used as a transparent insulator for photo detectors/sol

Two Dimensional Design of Axial Compressor - An Enhanced Version of LUAX-C

The main scope of this thesis is to have a strong tool for a preliminar design and sizing of an axial compressor in a bi-dimensional way, this means that all the parameters are referred to the hub, to the midspan and to the tip of the blade. This goal has been reached improving a pre existent MatlabTM code based on a monodimensional design. The developed code, using different swirl law, allow to u

Humanisters informationsbeteende : informationssökningsprocesser hos forskarstudenter inom humaniora

The Humanities consist of a broad array of academic disciplines that study human language, thought, artistic creations etc. The history of the Humanities is long and complex and the tensions between tradition and new ways of doing things form an essential part of the contemporary situation of this academic field. Such tensions offer an interesting perspective of the information behaviour of the ne

Power Sources for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

This thesis has been carried out to investigate a few areas concerning electric and hybrid electric powered land vehicles. The main objective has been to analyze the efficiency of such power trains to compare them with canonical combustion engines, both in a tank-to-wheels basis and a well-to-wheels basis. One of the question formulations is if an electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle charge

Hybridregimer: En studie kring hybridregimer och dess legitimitetsproblem

Denna uppsats kommer behandla ett område som kommit i skymundan av styrelseskicken demokrati och diktaturer. Under 1900-talet skedde en demokratiseringsvåg i världen, men många länder utvecklade inte full demokrati och hamnade i ett mellanting vi idag benämner som hybridregimer. En av de största anledningarna till bristande demokrati anses vara de legitimitetsproblemen som finns i länderna mellan

Proportionalitetsbedömningen av nationella inkomstskatteregler - en analys av rättsutvecklingen i EU-domstolens praxis

En medlemsstats nationella inkomstskatteregel som hindrar eller inskränker EUF-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet kan anses vara rättfärdigad om den uppfyller vissa kriterier. Det centrala i denna uppsats är den bedömning som EU-domstolen gör för att avgöra huruvida regeln är rättfärdigad eller ej. Detta innebär att uppsatsen innehåller en redogörelse för det så kallade rule of reason-testetA member state’s national income tax legislation, which prevents or restricts the provisions on free movement in the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union, can be justified if it meets certain criteria. The essence of this thesis is the assessment made by the European Court of Justice (the Court) to determine whether the legislation is justified or not. This means that this thesis contai

Polis, ordningsvakt och väktare – vem gör egentligen vad?

De senaste 30 åren har stora delar av den offentliga sektorn tagits över av privata företag. Vårdbolag, friskolor och privata vårdcentraler har ett efter ett tagits över av privata företag. En offentlig tjänst som gradvis blir mer privatiserad är den polisiära. Bevakningsföretag tar över tjänster som förr sköttes av polisen och patrullerande poliser ersätts med ordningsvakter. De ekonomiska krav s
