Sensationellt valresultat i Indiens folkrikaste delstat

Efter tre års så kallad djungelregim (jungle raj) under Mulayam Singh Yadavs ledning, återkommer nu dalitledaren Mayawati till makten på eget mandat i Uttar Pradesh, Indiens folkrikaste delstat. I det utdragna valet, vars resultat blev klart den 11 maj 2007, vann hon och hennes parti Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) en absolut majoritet med 206 mandat i delstatförsamlingen.

Conservation principles suspended solids distribution modelling to support ATS introduction on a recirculating WWTP

A model for the description of the SS distribution in a full-scale recirculating activated sludge WWTP was developed. The model, based on conservation principles, uses on-line plant data as model inputs, and provides a prediction of the SS load in the inlet to the secondary clarifiers and the SS distribution in the WWTP as outputs. The calibrated model produces excellent predictions of the SS load

The ability of white-rot fungi to degrade the endocrine-disrupting compound nonylphenol

Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes versicolor and Bjerkandera sp. BOL13 were tested for their ability to degrade the endocrine-disrupting compound nonylphenol at an initial concentration of 100 mg l–1. The highest removals were achieved with T. versicolor and Bjerkandera sp. BOL13, which were able to degrade 97 mg l–1 and 99 mg l–1 of nonylphenol in 25 days of incubation, r

Plasma oxidized LDL: a predictor for acute myocardial infarction?

Objectives. Oxidized LDL has been attributed a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated increased plasma levels of oxidized LDL in patients with established coronary artery disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate if plasma oxidized LDL also predicts risk for development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Design. We used a nested case-contro

Chemical and Clinical Studies of Isocyanate Contact Allergy with focus on diphenylmethane diisocyanate

Popular Abstract in Swedish I detta arbete studerades olika aspekter av lapptestdiagnostiken vid misstänkt kontaktallergi mot en grupp ämnen som kallas isocyanater. Dessa ämnen innehåller reaktiva isocyanatgrupper med den kemiska strukturen -N=C=O. Isocyanater används framförallt vid tillverkningen av polyuretan (PUR) som bildas när iso-cyanater reagerar med flerfunktionella alkoholer till en polyIsocyanates are highly reactive compounds used in the production of polyurethane. Exposure to isocyanates is mainly associated with respiratory disorders, but may also result in allergic contact dermatitis. Reports describing contact allergy to isocyanates are few in number and it has been considered a rare phenomenon. In the present study it is shown that the low frequency of reported cases could

X-ray data on the temporal coordination of speech gestures

Preliminary results are reported from a study of speech gestures analyzed from an x-ray motion film of a southern Swedish speaker. The gestures analyzed here are taken from one utterance from the film. Frame-by-frame analysis of the presence or absence of articulator movement provided information about temporal coordination & segmental simultaneity & sequencing. The data suggest challenges

Transmission rates and phenotypic effects of mitochondrial plasmids and cytotypes in Silene vulgaris

We investigated the transmission properties and the phenotypic effects of two mitochondrial plasmids in a population of the bladder campion, Silene vulgaris. In reciprocal crosses between plasmid-free and plasmid-carrying plants, no cases of paternal transmission or loss during maternal transmission were recorded. Neither was any transmission via pollen observed when plasmid-carrying plants of S,

Abnormal collagen fibrils in tendons of biglycan/fibromodulin-deficient mice lead to gait impairment, ectopic ossification, and osteoarthritis

Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) regulate extracellular matrix organization, a process essential in development, tissue repair, and metastasis. In vivo interactions of biglycan and fibromodulin, two SLRPs highly expressed in tendons and bones, were investigated by generating biglycan/fibromodulin double-deficient mice. Here we show that collagen fibrils in tendons from mice deficient in bi

Mot en ny arbetsorganisering: en sociologisk studie av några försöksprojekt med flexibla arbetstider och distansarbete inom Malmö kommun

I denna rapport får vi följa sex arbetsplatser inom Malmö kommun som under ett och ett halvt år utprovar olika typer av alternativa arbetstidsmodeller. Inom vård och barnomsorg utprovas flexibla bemanningsscheman, inom VA-service utprövas årsarbetstid och bland socialsekreterare och utredare utprovas distansarbete. Utprovningarna sker inom ramen för kommunens personalpolicy som bl a fokuserar ett

Leachability testing of sludge from street gullies

Sludge from gullies, on two types of streets with different traffic intensity, was investigated using two recommended EU methods for leachability testing of waste: a two-stage batch test and an up-flow percolation test. The main purpose of this investigation was to gain more knowledge about these leaching test methods to be able to make future decisions on the general applicability of the proposed
