The transport of ions related to the penetration of chlorides into concrete has been studied in the field by drilling 100-mm concrete cores from a marine bridge column. A 4-year-old concrete column in Sweden was selected. The concrete was of high quality (i.e., frost- and sulfate-resistant, with a low-heat, low-alkali portland cement with a maximum water-cement ratio of 0.40) according to new Swed

This article deals with the early development of the Jesus prayer in Early Christian monasticism of the 4th to the 7th century. It proceeds in two steps. First, a quite uniform matrix of practices and aims related to three early monastic authors (John Cassian, Diadochus of Photike, and John Climacus) is discerned. It is evident that the practice is not clearly defined in this period. It is also ap

Large Eddy Simulation of swirling flows in a typical gas turbine burner has been carried out. The goal has been to study the effects of swirl number, inlet velocity profile, confining wall distance, Reynolds- and Schmidt-number effects on the flow and turbulent mixing. The results show that the inlet velocity profile, the confinement and the swirl have a substantial effect on the resulting flow-fi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för metallbaserade läkemedel har växt stadigt de senaste årtionden. Kemins utveckling ger oss hela tiden mer förståelse och bättre verktyg för studier av olika metallkomplex och deras biologiska verkning. Utvecklingen och kunskapen har ökat så mycket, att nya specialiserade discipliner har vuxit fram, som till exempel bio-oorganisk och biometallorganisk kemi. Various metal complexes have been used in medicine traditionally, although their use was often connected with mystery and with a lack of empirically (clinically) proven effect. In modern times, the development of biochemistry, bioinorganic and bioorganometallic chemistry allows us more in-depth understanding of biological action of metal containing substances. Among metal-containing drugs used tod

During the 1990s public services have to a great extent reorganised according to the idea of market economy and new management ideas. An example that illustrates these processes is the home care organisations. Private companies, new management strategies and special need assessment officials have been introduced. In a longitudinal study we have focused on the fate of the working teams as it is sho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjocktarm och ändtarm (colorektal cancer) är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna i västvärlden. Årligen insjuknar drygt 5 000 människor i Sverige i denna sjukdom, och ungefär hälften av dessa dör till följd av sin cancer. De som avlider i colorektal cancer har i de allra flesta fall spridning av tumören till andra organ (metastasering). Levern är den vanligaste Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. The sensitivity of alkaline phosphatases (ALP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), computed tomography (CT), CT with arterial contrast
