Adolescents Born Extremely Preterm : Cognitive, Behavioural and Relational Outcomes

The aim of this thesis was to evaluate long-term outcomes in a regional cohort of adolescents born extremely preterm (before the 29th gestational week) and compare them to full-term born controls. Fifty-two prematurely and 54 full-term born individuals were recruited from a follow-up study at 10 years of age. The participant rate was 85 % from the prematurely born group and 89 % from the full-term

Minimum data rates for stabilising linear systems with unknown parameters

One of the most fundamental questions in the field of joint communication and control is the following: if a plant and controller communicate at a limited data rate and no restrictions but causality are placed on the coding and control policy, what is the smallest rate at which stabilisation is possible? In this paper, the problem of stabilising a deterministic, partially observed, discrete-time,

Alternative pathways in the plant respiratory chain -transgenic analyses of type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases

During oxidative phosphorylation, the production of ATP is driven by the activity of several proton-pumping respiratory protein complexes. In plants, non-proton pumping type II NAD(P)H dehydrogenases are also present in the respiratory chain to oxidize cytosolic and matrix NAD(P)H. So far, it has not been fully clear what roles these enzymes play in the cellular metabolism. In Arabidopsis thalian

Influence of Indoor Air Quality and Personal Factors on the Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) in Swedish Geriatric Hospitals

OBJECTIVES--Sick building syndrome (SBS) involves symptoms such as irritation to the eyes, skin, and upper airways, headache, and fatigue. The relations between such symptoms and both personal and environmental factors were studied in 225 female hospital workers, working in eight hospital units in the south of Sweden. METHODS--Symptoms of SBS and personal factors were measured by means of a standa

Tryggare kan ingen vara : Migration, religion och integration i en segregerad omgivning

Religion has greater importance in many immigrants’ lives after migration than it had before. The thesis examines why this is so. It also analyzes the social consequences of religious commitments and membership. More specifically, the chain of causal links between migration, religion and integration or segregation is explored, through the identification of social mechanisms on the societal, organi

Frequency Selective Detection of Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) Spin Echoes

Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) is a radio frequency (RF) technique that can be used to detect the presence of quadrupolar nuclei, such as the 14N nucleus prevalent in many explosives and narcotics. The technique has been hampered by low signal-to-noise ratios and is further aggravated by the presence of RF interference (RFI). To ensure accurate detection, proposed detectors should exploit the
