Spatial Analysis of Infiltration Experiment

Developing correlations between various soil parameters are considered the major challenge to diminish time and cost associated with field measurements. Soil hydraulic and physical properties were extensively characterized using tension disc infiltrometer and soil sampling in a silty clay agricultural field in Kalaat El-Andalous, Tunisia. Tension disc infiltrometer experiments were conducted at 10

The Role of Vegetation-Climate Feedbacks in Regional Earth System Dynamics

The hypothesis of this thesis is that climate models should take structural vegetation changes that operate on interannual to centennial time scales into account in order to simulate climate change in a more realistic manner. To evaluate this hypothesis, a regional Earth System Model (ESM) has been developed, validated and applied over Europe. The model has enabled the identification of a number o

Long term survival in women with borderline ovarian tumors: a population-based survey of borderline ovarian tumors in Sweden 1960-2007.

Evaluation of incidence and survival of patients with borderline ovarian tumors in Sweden MATERIAL AND METHODS: All women diagnosed with borderline ovarian tumor in the Swedish Cancer Register 1960-2007 (n=6,252) combined with follow-up in the Swedish Death Registry to 1 July 2009 were included. Estimation of age-standardized relative survival rate according to time periods for diagnosis RESULTS:

Det ordningsskapande våldet och rädslan för massan

Dagligen möter vi det brutala fysiska våldet. På tv-skärmar och löpsedlar. Våldet sysselsätter vår fantasi. Fascinerar, underhåller, skrämmer och säljs som mediavaror. Produkter vars konsumtion får oss att uppleva vår värld som en mer otrygg och skrämmande plats. De skapar rädsla, som i sin tur låter sig exploateras av politiskt konservativa krafter. Det medialiserade våldet och rädsleproduktionen

Therapeutic approaches to spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy.

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy is a hereditary motor neuron disease caused by trinucleotide repeat expansion in the androgen receptor gene. The disease mechanism probably involves a toxic gain of function in the mutant protein, because other mutations that cause a loss of androgen receptor function result in a different phenotype and the mutant protein is toxic in mouse models. In these models

Dorothy Richardson and the Poetics of Silence

Unlike most modernist fiction, Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage not only recognizes but celebrates silence as a strength in life and literature alike. Richardson’s silence is one which enables, communicates, and reveals truth. It speaks in a way words never can; ‘[r]eal speech can only come from complete silence’, as Miriam concludes (III, 389). This article explores the role silence plays in Pilgr

Shiga toxin and lipopolysaccharide induce platelet-leukocyte aggregates and tissue factor release, a thrombotic mechanism in hemolytic uremic syndrome.

BACKGROUND: Aggregates formed between leukocytes and platelets in the circulation lead to release of tissue factor (TF)-bearing microparticles contributing to a prothrombotic state. As enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) may cause hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), in which microthrombi cause tissue damage, this study investigated whether the interaction between blood cells and EHEC virulence

A gender perspective on factors that influence outdoor recreational physical activity among the elderly.

BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is part of a healthy lifestyle and prevents many chronic health problems, in addition to promoting mental health. PA performed outdoors has been found particularly good for promoting one's well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which outdoor recreational PA was carried out during 1 year, and the factors influencing such activities from
