We examined the occurrence of blowfly larvae Trypocalliphora brauneri in Swedish willow warbler Phylloscopus trochilus nestlings at three nearby breeding sites in Central Sweden. The occurrence of parasites was examined in nestlings by visual inspection during ringing. Larvae were encapsulated in the wings, head, neck, or the sides of the body of the nestlings and caused large swellings. Some of t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en prospektiv longitudinell multicenterstudie som har haft som mål att utvärdera livskvaliteten (HRQL) hos patienter med cancer i huvudhalsregionen, vid diagnos, efter ett och fem år i relateration till tumörlokal, stadium, subsite, behand-ling, kön och ålder. Den första delen av studien, som varade i ett år, bestod av 357 patienter (medelålder 63 år; 72% män)The aim of this prospective longitudinal multicenter study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with head and neck cancer at diagnosis, after one and five years in relation to tumour location, stage, sub site, treatment modality, gender and age. The first part of the study, lasting for one year, consisted of 357 patients (mean age 63 years; 72% males) that were in

Popular Abstract in Swedish I takt med att analytiska dimensioneringsmetoder utvecklas ökar även behovet av att kunna bestämma mekaniska egenskaper hos materialen i överbyggnaden och terrassen. Utmattningssprickor orsakade av tung trafik, permanenta deformationer (spårbildning), termisk sprickbildning, ojämnheter, tjäle och reflektionssprickor är några av de dimensioneringskriterier som kan användThe advance of analytic (mechanistic) design methods increases the need for fundamental material properties. Fatigue cracking due to traffic loading, in combination with permanent deformation (rutting), thermal cracking, irregularities, frost heave and reflective cracking are some of the major criteria used when designing an asphalt concrete pavement. The objective of this Ph.D. project is to eva

Background and Purpose - Data regarding the association between blood pressure level and incidence of stroke subtype, especially primary intracerebral hemorrhage (PICH) subtypes, is sparse. This population- based study explored the relationship between blood pressure and the incidence of cerebral infarction, and PICH, with lobar and nonlobar location. Methods - Risk factors were assessed in 27 702

This is a study of change in ecclesiastical praxis and theological Irgument concerning the death penalty and the condemned in Sweden, seen in an international perspective and as a part of general change in the society. The execution gave an example of both crime and revenge and of repentance and the possibility of a pious death. This examl)le through secularisation came under attack from two sides

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a serious condition of growing proportions. Developing via an increasing imbalance between insulin sensitivity in the peripheral tissues and insulin release from pancreatic beta-cells, it ultimately renders the individual incapable of regulating the blood glucose concentration, e.g. after a meal. The increased prevalence of T2D is associated with an increase in the prevale

The pH dependencies of the UV-vis and fluorescent spectra of new water-soluble dendritic porphyrins and tetrabenzoporphyrins were studied. Because of extended -conjugation and nonplanar distortion, the absorption and the emission bands of tetraaryltetrabenzoporphyrins (Ar4TBP) are red-shifted and do not overlap with those of regular tetraarylporphyrins (Ar4P). When encapsulated inside dendrimers w

Based on the Keldysh formalism, the Boltzmann kinetic equation and the drift-diffusion equation have been derived for studying spin-polarization flow and spin accumulation under effect of the time-dependent Rashba spin-orbit interaction in a semiconductor quantum well. The time-dependent Rashba interaction is provided by time-dependent electric gates of appropriate shapes. Several examples of spin

We introduce a new class of models for interacting particles. Our construction is based on Jacobians for the radial coordinates on certain superspaces. The resulting models contain two parameters determining the strengths of the interactions. This extends and generalizes the models of the Calogero-Moser-Sutherland type for interacting particles in ordinary spaces. The latter ones are included in o

A feed control strategy, based on estimated sugar concentrations, was developed with the purpose of avoiding severe inhibition of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during fermentation of spruce hydrolyzate. The sum of the fermentable hexose sugars, glucose and mannose, was estimated from on-line measurements of carbon dioxide evolution rate and biomass concentration by use of a simple stoichiomet
