Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxthormon (GH) är ett hormon som produceras och insöndras stötvis från hypofysen. GH-insöndringen styrs av stimulerande och hämmande signaler från hypothalamus, men hämmas även av sin egen insöndring. GH produceras under hela livet men mängden insöndrat hormon sjunker med stigande ålder. Under barn- och ungdomsåren har GH en viktig funktion att stimulera längdtillvA risk for premature atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality has been reported in adult patients suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and receiving conventional hormone substitution without growth hormone (GH) replacement. GHD patients are resistant to insulin, which is a potential risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. Insulin resistance can develop from an unfavourabl

Design problems related to the next generation Internet core networks can be difficult to solve in an exact way. Hence, for large networks they may require approximate algorithms. The paper considers two optimization problems for off-line design of robust NGI core networks carrying elastic traffic with a two-layer IP/MPLS over WDM architecture. The problems are NP-hard and are formulated as mixed-

A simple model for the gluon structure function at small x is presented, which gives an intuitive picture of the transition between the DGLAP and BFKL regimes

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av blodbildande celler sker i benmärgens mikromiljö, som består av cytokiner och tillväxtfaktorer, stromaceller samt extracellulära matrixmolekyler. Extracellulära matrixproteiner och stromaceller i benmärgen utgör en strukturell miljö för hematopoietiska celler, men adhesiva cell-cell och cell-matrix interaktioner påverkar också direkt hematopoietiska cellerDevelopment of hematopoietic cells in bone marrow takes place in association with the hematopoietic microenvironment. Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules and stromal cells in bone marrow provide a structural environment for hematopoietic cells, but they also directly influence proliferation, differentiation and migration of cells by signal transduction mediated by ligand binding to cell surface a

This article discusses the feminist tradition of cross-dressing in performing arts.

Syftet med den här litteraturöversikten är att undersöka vilken eventuell betydelse som sociala medier har för beslut om vaccination samt om sociala medier påverkar täckningsgraden i nationella vaccinationsprogram. En litteratursökning utfördes i Lunds universitets samlade biblioteksdatabas Summon. Söktermerna relaterade till sociala medier och vacciner. Efter gallring inkluderades 55 internation

Under åren 1995-99 beviljades 183 projekt medel ur EU:s sociala fond (mål 3) vid Länsarbetsnämnden i Skåne. Projektet Trampolinen var ett av dessa. Projektets syfte var trefaldigt; att motivera långtidsarbetslösa att ändra yrkesinriktning, utveckla nya metoder och arbetssätt för att hantera strukturell arbetslöshet samt sprida ny kunskap till den reguljära verksamheten. Processutvärderingen som by

With the general trends of the international development of codes, specifications and recommendations for a fire engineering design as a background, the rapidly expanding modelling capabilities are demonstrated and exemplified with respect to the fire growth in a compartment, the fully developed compartment fire, the reaction to fire of materials, the fire spread between buildings, and the fire be

Basic statistics courses for engineering students often focus on general applications in engineering, using course literature intended for ‘engineers’. However, these students are not a homogeneous group, and the differences among engineering programmes appear to be increasing. One way to meet the challenge of the diversity of needs within a discipline is to adapt the courses for different program

Application-oriented programming of industrial robots is considered. The authors formulate the problems and suggest one approach towards a solution. The problem is motivated by some typical examples that are outlined. These examples show some requirements from different applications. Even a very mature application like spot welding needs special care to obtain best possible performance in the shor

A teachable-agent arithmetic game is presented and evaluated in terms of student performance, attitude and self-efficacy. An experimental pre-post study design was used, enrolling 153 3rd and 5th grade students in Sweden. The playing group showed significantly larger gains in math performance and self-efficacy beliefs, but not in general attitude towards math, than the control groups. The contribu
