Praktisk epidemiologi för medicin, vård och folkhälsa ger dig nödvändiga redskap för att kunna läsa, förstå och kritiskt granska epidemiologiska forskningsresultat. Den är också skriven för dig som planerar att genomföra ett eget projekt eller bedriva epidemiologisk forskning.Framställningen är problemorienterad: viktiga begrepp och grundläggande metoder introduceras i direkt anslutning till epide

In all organisms, chromosome replication is regulated mainly at the initiation step. Most of the knowledge about the mechanisms that regulate replication initiation in bacteria has come from studies on rod-shaped bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilisStreptomyces is a bacterial genus that is characterized by distinctive features and a complex life cycle that shares some propertie

AIMS: To evaluate if ticagrelor, an effective platelet inhibitor without known non-responders, could inhibit growth of small abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). METHODS AND RESULTS: In this multi-centre randomized controlled trial, double-blinded for ticagrelor and placebo, acetylic salicylic acid naïve patients with AAA and with a maximum aortic diameter 35-49 mm were included. The primary outcome

In the remedial phase following an accidental radioactive release, it is important that soil decontamination measures are carried out on the areas that contribute most to the radiation dose. In this study, the newly developed concept of isodose lines was applied to the area around typical Swedish dwellings to identify these areas. The influence of the most common building materials in Sweden, wood

TEMA: BIODIVERSITET I CENTRUMEtt av Sveriges 43 nationella strategiska forskningsområden BECC – Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate – fokuserar på biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster i en värld präglad av klimatförändring. Med ett tvärvetenskapligt angreppssätt arbetar vi med hur svensk markanvändning kan förenas med en långsiktigt hållbar utveckling i ett föränderligt k

This contribution introduces a new perspective on the modelling of settling behaviour aimed at providing a unified description of the processes taking place both in primary and secondary settling tanks for a more detailed operation and control in Water and Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRFs). First, experimental evidence is provided pointing out the flocculation state of sludge as an important co

NG2 cells, a fourth glial cell type in the adult mammalian central nervous system, produce oligodendrocytes in the healthy nervous tissue, and display wide differentiation potential under pathological conditions, where they could give rise to reactive astrocytes. The factors that control the differentiation of NG2 cells after focal cerebral ischemia (FCI) are largely unknown. Here, we used transge

We need clean drinking water, but current water purification methods are not always sufficient. This study examines the binding and binding mechanisms when graphene oxide is used as a filter material for removing perfluorinated substances and trihalomethanes. We use density functional theory calculations to examine the binding of the harmful molecules on graphene oxide. Our results indicate that t
