Vascular aging is described as a gradual process involving biochemical, enzymatic, and cellular changes of the vasculature and modification of the signals that modulate them. On the basis of this conception a new pathophysiological model for deeper understanding of cardiovascular risk and its treatment was introduced. The idea of early vascular aging, that is the acceleration of vascular aging see

The second of two reports from the conference Virtual City in Lund, Sweden, in 1998.

En unik intervjubok ger god inblick i påve Benedictus XVI:s tankevärld och i den speciella logik som utmärker den katolska kyrkans lära. Mot kritiken om otidsenlighet ställer påven ett evighetsperspektiv.

In a previous study from our laboratory, high tumor levels of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) have been associated with an adverse response to chemotherapy in metastatic breast cancer suggesting that TIMP-1, which is known to inhibit apoptosis, may be a new predictive marker in this disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between TIMP-1 and objective

I Louis Althussers klassiska text "Ideologi och ideologiska statsapparater" är det lagens direkta tilltal som får exemplifiera begreppet interpellation. Genom lagen (och dess representanter i vardagen) görs vi inte bara lika, till medborgare. Vi interpelleras även till en mängd andra, särskiljande identiteter. För att kunna åtnjuta lagens skydd måste våra konkreta livsöden kodas om till abstrakta

Reviews the video, This one moment: Skills for everyday mindfulness by M. M. Linehan (2003). Marsha Linehan is well known as the developer of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), a comprehensive treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD). In "This One Moment," Linehan explains, with easy-to-follow and creative examples, how to be more fully in the present. She divides her instructions into

Overview over some recurrent themes in the poetry of Swedish writer Lars Gustafsson

OBJECTIVE:: To assess the prognostic value of continuous amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram in comatose survivors after cardiac arrest and treated with hypothermia. DESIGN:: Prospective observational study. SETTING:: General intensive care unit at a university hospital. PATIENTS:: Comatose patients after cardiac arrest and treated with hypothermia. INTERVENTIONS:: Patients were sedated and

En undersökning av de språkligt motiverade bearbetningarna som gjorts av psalmer från 1695 års svenska psalmbok inför de tre nya psalmboksutgåvor som följt därefter. Undersökningen avser de omkring 100 1695-psalmer som finns med i alla dessa tre senare psalmböcker och sönderfaller i morfologiska, lexikala, syntaktiska och textuella bearbetningsinsatser.

The pathways of melt water from a subdrained agricultural basin in southern Finland were investigated using oxygen-18 as tracer and measuring subdrainage water and total basin runoff. The flow paths for the melt water to reach the subdrains were through cracks in the ploughed layer and through regular spaced vertical sand-gravel drains. As long as the top soil was frozen a major part of the water

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan människan lyckades skapa eld har förbränning utgjort den viktigaste energikällan i mänsklighetens långa historia, viket den ser ut att fortsätta vara det inom en överskådlig framtid. I dagsläget kommer mer än 90% av vår energi från förbränningsprocesser. Dock uppstår en rad problem kring förbränning, såsom föroreningar och möjligheten till använda sig av förnyelseNowadays, more than 90% of our energy comes from combustion processes. Hence, it is very important to perform combustion research to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, find clean and renewable fuels, strengthen safety, etc. The complexity of combustion processes asks for advanced diagnostic tools, among which the laser spectroscopy has been proved to be a powerful one. This thesis is about the
