Febrile Urinary Tract Infection: P fimbriae, Innate Host Response and Bacteremia

Popular Abstract in Swedish Urinvägsinfektioner (UVI) är en av människans vanligaste bakteriella infektioner och drabbar både kvinnor och män. Kvinnor drabbas av UVI under hela sitt vuxna liv, medan UVI incidensen hos män ökar efter 40 – 50 års ålder pga. ökande problematik i urinvägarna med prostataförstoring, m.m. UVI orsakas av ett flertal olika bakteriearter, men tarmbakterien Escherichia coliUrinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common human infections, and febrile UTI with bacteremia the most severe form. The relation between bacteria and host decides disease severity. The dominating uropathogen is Escherichia coli (E. coli). P fimbriae are the virulence factor of E. coli most clearly associated to severe disease. P fimbriated E. coli predominated in bacteremic febrile UT

Transverse and longitudinal Bose-Einstein correlations in e(+)e(-) annihilation

We show how a difference in the correlation length longitudinally and transversely, with respect to the jet axis in e+e- annihilation, arises naturally in a model for Bose-Einstein correlations based on the Lund string model. The difference is more apparent in genuine three-particle correlations and they are therfore a good probe for the longitudinal stretching of the string field.

The Art of Living with a Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury in its relation to Resources and Norms in Swedish Society

The overall aim of this thesis is to elaborate on the art of living with a traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) in its relation to resources and norms in Swedish society. The thesis originates in part from a prevalence group of SCI individuals and is based on four studies. One is longitudinal and register based, and one is interview based. A paper on “ethics in the making” elaborates how general ver

South-South FDI and Development in East Asia

This paper attempts to measure the size of South–South foreign direct investment (FDI) in developing East Asia and the trends in it, the characteristics of the investing countries, and the investments themselves. It also summarizes the findings of studies in individual countries of the effects of these investments. The studies of individual countries will be used to try to find some consensus on d

A Hierarchical Shadow Volume Algorithm

The shadow volume algorithm is a popular technique for real-time shadow generation using graphics hardware. Its major disadvantage is that it is inherently fillrate-limited, as the performance is inversely proportional to the area of the projected shadow volumes. We present a new algorithm that reduces the shadow volume rasterization work significantly. With our algorithm, the amount of per-pixel

Missbrukare i rättsstaten : en rättsvetenskaplig studie om lagstiftningen rörande tvångsvård av vuxna missbrukare

The Care of Abusers (Special Provisions) Act (1988:870) - LVM - gives society the right, and the obligation, to deprive an individual of his liberty on grounds of ongoing abuse of alcohol, narcotics or volatile solvents. In addition, legislation gives the authorities the right to make body search and superficial personal search, to control mail and other deliveries, and the right to further restri

Inside Pulsating White Dwarfs: Clues from time-resolved spectroscopy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Pulserande stjärnrester (OBS! Kontakta mig för figurerna eller se artikeln publicerat i Populär Astronomi). Rubina Kotak, Populär Astronomi, 2002, Nr 2, sid. 29 Stjärnorna's utveckling: Solen är idag ungefär fem miljarder, alltså fem tusen miljoner år gammal. Hur ser solen's framtiden ut? Som i de allra flesta stjärnor, pågår även i solen's innersta delar kärn reaktiSeveral analyses using time-resolved optical spectrocopy of pulsating white dwarfs are presented. The data have been put to a number of uses. First, line-of-sight velocities associated with the pulsations have been measured in three hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarfs (DAVs), bringing the total number of such measurements up to five. They have also been measured for the first time in a pulsating heli
