Many aspects of human physiology and behavior are seasonally related. Although there are many studies using self-ratings of, for example, subjective health and stress, few involve adjusting effects for seasonal differences. To estimate the need of adjusting for season in field studies, 24 healthy men and women were studied in a design that required them to fill in questionnaires on one workday eve

This paper analyses a specific stage in the development of alignment system in Indo-European languages. It is argued that one of the most crucial stages is the appearance of binary features, which allows the language to develop into a form ready for dealing with complex functional demands.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan är ett organ som utgör 2 % av kroppsvikten men som mottar ca 20 % av hjärtats minut volym och har en mycket hög energi konsumtion. I samband med en blodpropp i något av hjärnas blodkärl eller att ett av hjärnans kärl brister får man en stroke eller cerebral ischemi. Man har under många decennier inriktad sig på den akuta behandlingen på att finna ett sätt att reCerebral arteries participate actively in the response that follows an episode of cerebral ischemia in man and rat. It has been shown that the vascular endothelin receptor expression is increased in stroke and organ culture. Furthermore, studies have demonstrated the intracellular signalling pathways, leading to the enhanced expression of vascular endothelin receptors. We have revealed that both c

Stigma and discrimination are still prominent features of the life situation of persons with mental illness, adding to the burden of the illness, causing a lowered self-esteem, quality of life and affecting possibilities of adequate housing and work. It is also a major barrier to help seeking. The deinstitutionalization of mental health services has led to a significant increase in contacts betwee

Popular Abstract in Swedish Näthinnan (retina) ligger längst bak i ögat och fungerar som filmen i en kamera. Stavar och tappar registrerar ljus och signalen går via nerver till syncentra i hjärnan. Blodkärl löper genom näthinnan och förser cellerna med syre och näring samt transporterar bort slaggprodukter. Kärlsjukdomar, som t.ex. diabetes, blodproppar i näthinnan till följd av åderförkalkning ocRetinal ischaemia resulting from e.g. diabetes, vein thrombosis or arterial occlusion, is one of the major causes of visual impairment and blindness. Although new methods of treatment are being developed, there is still a need for more effective pharmacological forms of treatment. The aim of this work was to develop an appropriate animal model of retinal ischaemia in which the intracellular signal

Raoul Wallenberg har varit omdiskuterad såväl i Sverige som i utlandet efter hans försvinnande 1947. Uppmärksamheten för honom har gått i vågor. Ett särskilt fokus i artikeln är hur han framställs och brukas 2012, då hundraårsminnet av hans födelse uppmärksammas.

Objective: To study prescription patterns of biological treatment in rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) patients in southern Sweden, a region with no formal or economic restrictions for the use of biological treatment in rheumatological diseases. Specifically, we studied conformity with the national Swedish guidelines for biologics in RA. Methods: Rheumatologists in southern Sweden contribute to a volunta

I kanadensiska mi'kmaqberättelser, vilka nedtecknades under tiden som gruppen levde som jägare och samlare, finna flera skildringar av djur som flitiga agenter. Det finns till och med berättelser om äktenskap mellan människor och djur som dock alltid slutar olyckligt. Hur ska dessa berättelser läsas? Som nonsens eller säger de något om gränser och förhållningssätt till det vi i väst dikotomiserat

Trigonal-planar, middle transition metal diiminato-imido complexes do not exhibit high-spin states, as might be naively expected on the basis of their low coordination numbers. Instead, the known Fe(III), Co(III), and Ni(III) complexes exhibit S = (3)/(2), S = 0, and S = (1)/(2), ground states, respectively. Kohn-Sham DFT calculations have provided a basic molecular orbital picture of these compou

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of beta-amido-alpha-keto esters providing the corresponding anti-beta-amido-alpha-hydroxy esters via dynamic kinetic resolution is reported. The use of a commercially available, or simply prepared, chiral ruthenium catalyst results in good yields as well as high diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract in Danish Amning har sundhedsmæssige fordele for mor og barn og mere udtalte fordele for præmature børn, men udenlandske undersøgelser viser, at færre præmature børn påbegynder amning, og færre præmature børn ammes i 4 og 6 måneder sammenlignet med mature børn. Der findes ikke danske undersøgelser om andelen af præmature børn, som påbegynder amning, men en dansk undersøgelse viser, at 60 Breastfeeding has even more pronounced health benefits for preterm infants than for full-term infants, but preterm infants are less breastfed. There is no consensus in Danish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) about which clinical methods facilitate breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin contact between infant and parent is the first step in the breastfeeding process for preterm infants, but studies of to

A capillary-based model modified for characterization of monolithic cryogels is presented with key parameters like the pore size distribution, the tortuosity and the skeleton thickness employed for describing the porous structure characteristics of a cryogel matrix. Laminar flow, liquid dispersion and mass transfer in each capillary are considered and the model is solved numerically by the finite

In this thesis, telomere deficiency with subsequent anaphase bridging was found to be associated with chromosomal instability in established colorectal cancer cell lines and in Wilms tumour. In colorectal cancer cell lines, anaphase bridging was observed to generate both numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations and was also associated with the presence of multipolar mitoses. In contrast to

Aim The aim of this study was to estimate healthcare cost and productivity losses as a result of diabetes and diabetes-related chronic complications in Sweden in 1987 and 2005. Research design and methods Published estimates on relative risks and Swedish age-specific diabetes-prevalence rates were used to calculate the proportions of diabetes-related chronic complications that are attributable to

Abstract in Undetermined The paper argues that promise rights presuppose independently existing (if not pre-existing) claims. The argument relies on the Bifurcation Thesis, according to which all claims, and all rights, can be exhaustively divided into two categories: capacity based and exercise based.
