Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Varje år dör omkring 700 malmöbor av hjärtinfarkt, av dessa är var tredje yngre än 75 år. Den bakomliggande sjukdomen, åderförkalkning, leder till en successiv tilltäppning av hjärtats kranskärl. Hjärtinfarkten, som alltså innebär att en del av hjärtmuskeln går under, beror på att det till slut bildas en blodpropp som täpper till kärlet helt och hållet. Att inMalmö (pop. 250 000) is a city in the south of Sweden where there are marked intra-urban differences in the mortality rates from myocardial infarction. This thesis, which is based on local and national morbidity and mortality registers and two prospective population-based cohort studies, should be considered as an attempt to explore if and how morbidity and mortality patterns co-vary with the prev

Designs for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) are quite well advanced,but the requirements of instruments have had limited impact. Sinceprovision of a suitable environment for instruments is a critical aspectof all telescopes, we outline some well-known and some less-appreciatedchallenges of designing instruments for ELTs. A wide-field spectrometer(WFSPEC) with ~10 arcmin field-of-view, probably w

Endometrial prostaglandins (PGs) and the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio play an important role in regulating the estrous cycle and establishment of pregnancy. The enzymes downstream of cyclooxygenase-2 may determine the PGE2/PGF2alpha ratio in the porcine uterus. Thus, we have cloned porcine PGF synthase (PGFS) and microsomal PGE synthase-1 (mPGES-1) and characterized their expression in porcine endometrium

Lao PDR has been relatively successful in raising incomes and reducing poverty since the early 1990s. However, the gains in terms of poverty reduction are unevenly distributed across regions and population groups. This paper uses a detailed household survey data set to examine the determinants of income and poverty in Lao PDR. The results suggest that household size, dependency ratios, education,
