Interstitial laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure the effect of interstitial laser-induced thermotherapy on local blood perfusion in normal rat liver in the peripheral treatment region elevated to hyperthermic temperatures. The Nd:YAG laser emitting at 1064 nm was utilised as heat generation source. The plane-cut tip of an optical fibre was placed in the middle of the exteriorised left live

The development of information technology opens up new venues of human communication. So far, most research has been devoted to the technological side of communication. By analysing the metaphors that are used to talk about communication, the differences between technological and human communication can be targeted. What is needed in order to understand human communication is more knowledge about

Lysine-specific chemical crosslinking in combination with mass spectrometry is emerging as a tool for the structural characterization of protein complexes and protein-protein interactions. After tryptic digestion of crosslinked proteins there are thousands of peptides amenable to MSMS, of which only very few are crosslinked peptides of interest. Here we describe how the advantage offered by off-li

Liljendal, en flickavdelning vid Granhults behandlingshem, var verksam från 1 mars 2001 till 31 januari 2005. Arne Kristiansen, som har utvärderat behandlingen, är kritisk till i första hand verksamhetens ideologiska utgångspunkter, tolvstegsfilosofi och minnesotabehandling, men hans utvärdering har ingenting med Liljendals nedläggning att göra. Liljendal hade helt enkelt för låg beläggning för at

Associative ionizing molecule-atom collisions Na-2(A(1) Sigma(u)(+)) + Na(3p) --> Na-3(+) + e have been observed at simultaneous excitation of dimers and atoms by means of two lasers. Measurements of the relevant ionization current show that the cross section of molecule-atom ionizing collisions exceeds by an order of magnitude the cross section of the well-known atom-atom associative ionization N

När gränsöverskridande transaktioner företas på Internet kan frågor uppkomma rörande domstolars behörighet och vilket lands lag som är tillämplig. På vilket sätt bör de etablerade internationellt privaträttsliga reglerna tillämpas för att ge svar på dessa frågor? I artikeln diskuteras frågorna med specifik utgångspunkt i de särskilda skyddsregler som är tänkta att i en större utsträckning ge konsu

There are a large number of fire scenarios at nuclear power plants that must be analysed to obtain a picture of the fire risk. This report presents a schematic method that can be useful when identifying areas where deeper analysis is necessary. The methodology is based on four possible scenarios. Accepted and generally used calculations methods are available for three of these scenarios. As for th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Centralt i avhandlingen är självbiografiskt minne och metaforer. Tre hypoteser framförs: (1) Den dikotomisering av deklarativa långtidsminnet som Tulving föreslagit är inte tillräcklig för att förklara självbiografiskt minne. Istället föreslås en alternativ modell där semantiskt och självbiografiskt minne överlappar varandra och där återupplevelseminnet uppfattas som enThe central topics of the thesis are autobiographical memory and metaphors. Three hypotheses are presented: (1) Autobiographical memory is better understood without dichotomizing the declarative (explicit) long-term memory system into semantic and episodic. An alternative model is proposed in which semantic and autobiographical memory are overlapping and the recollective memory is regarded as a me

This presentation argues that we seldom speak of our findings in qualitative research as serendipitous, although we have splendid possibilities to make surprising findings. In order to enhance the chances and sharpen our analyses we have to read broadly but also pay attention to details in our data. We should avoid societal or scholarly conventionality, even be disobedient to recommendations, if t

In the broader spectrum of back pain, inflammatory back pain (IBP) is a symptom that may indicate axial spondyloarthritis (SpA). The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of current IBP, as a hallmark sign of possible axial SpA, in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and other SpA and to compare self-reported health between the groups with curren
