Huvuddragen i det konstitutionella fördragsutkastet har bevarats i Lissabon-överenskommelsen, men de högtflygande formuleringarna har tonats ned och ambitionen att skapa en bred förankring för den europeiska tanken har övergivits. Känslomässiga bindningar ska elimineras och ersättas av tekniskt formulerade ändringar i existerande fördrag. Återigen ett tilläggsavtal till det ursprungliga Romfördra

Hemodynamic effects of iso-oncotic 3% dextran-60, 6% dextran-70, and Ringer's acetate were compared in 28 male pigs (25 to 30 kg) subjected to experimental trauma and hemorrhage. The animals were kept anesthetized with 75% N2O/25% O2, 0.8% halothane. Hemodynamic and respiratory conditions were allowed to stabilize for one hour preoperatively (baseline data). After surgical trauma (arthroplasty), t

p16(INK4a), p15(INK4b), p18(INK4c) and p19(INK4d) comprise a family of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and tumor suppressors. We report that the INK4 proteins share the ability to arrest cells in G1, and interact with CDK4 or CDK6 with similar avidity. In contrast, only p18 and particularly p19 are phosphorylated in vivo, and each of the human INK4 proteins shows unique expression patterns depe

The primary aim of this study is to view the meaning, the function and the consequences of appealed community plans. A overview of the Swedish regulations has been made in addition to an empirical study of 63 appealed community plans in two municipalities in the south of Sweden, during the years 1996-2000. The study shows that approximately 25% of all the plans made have been the object for appeal

Chaos in time: On the consequences of chaos-theory in the study of the past. The importance of minor events is stressed and the part and the whole are related in a new way.

BACKGROUND: Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a hereditary, progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by both neurological and systemic symptoms. In HD, immune changes can be observed before the onset of overt clinical features raising the possibility that immune markers in plasma could be used to track disease progression. It has previously been demonstrated that a widespread, progressive i

This article studies continued childbearing and union stability among "power couples," or dual-career couples. The determinants of these events are analysed multivariately using longitudinal data on couples from population registers in Sweden, 1991–2005. Power couples are identified using their levels and fields of education, and their sectors of employment. Income and other variables are controll

Scand J Caring Sci; 2011 Wellbeing among people with dementia and their next of kin over a period of 3 years Little is known about the dyadic experience over time of people with dementia and their next of kin. The aim of this study was to investigate the state of mind of people with dementia, their next of kin's experience of burden and satisfaction, and factors associated with these experiences o

Increasing fuel prices and environmental concern drives the research and development for the internal combustion engine. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) is a promising combustion concept with high fuel efficiency and low emissions. The auto-ignition in HCCI combustion has no flame propagation and therefore the combustible mixture is consumed rapidly, even at low temperature. This re
