Primary energy use, emission and the cost of whole energy system chains, from natural resource to end-User, were analysed, in a Swedish context,, hen heating detached houses. Both electricity-based systems employing heat Pumps. boilers. or resistance heaters. and local fuel-based systems (e.g. natural gas. oil and wood fuel) were considered. The base-load electricity was Produced in stand-alone po

The title compound, [Au2Fe(C38H37NP2)(SCN)(2)], is a dinuclear gold(I) complex containing an unsymmetrical bidentate ferrocenyl-phosphine ligand. Selected geometrical parameters for the compound are Au-P = 2.265 (2) and 2.260 (3) angstrom, Au-S = 2.327 (3) and 2.313 (3) angstrom, and P-Au-S = 175.61 (9) and 176.86 (9)degrees.

Objectives: To investigate determinants of joint destruction and reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) not treated with bisphosphonates or hormone replacement therapy and to evaluate if there are common markers of erosive disease and bone loss. Methods: BMD was measured using dual x ray absorptiometry and joint damage was examined by x ra

1976 through 1992, 30,003 primary knee arthroplasties and their revisions have been recorded in a nation-wide Swedish study. We report on the structure of the register, demographic data and survivorship. We found that operations for osteoarthrosis (OA) counted for the increase in number of arthroplasties in contrast to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where the number had slightly declined. For primary

Popular Abstract in Swedish We address the problem of the dissipative character of collective motion in finite Fermi systems. We study this problem from the point of view of chaotic features of the fermionic degrees of freedom of the many-body Fermi systems. Our main aim is of two kinds: first, we investigate how quantum chaos sets in in many-body systems and then, we try to relate quantum many-boWe address the problem of the dissipative character of collective motion in finite Fermi systems.

In this paper, problems related to simulation model documentation and model exchange between users are discussed. Complex simulation models have gained popularity in the environmental field, but require extensive documentation to allow independent implementation. The existence of different simulation platforms puts high demands on the quality of the original documentation. Recent experiences from

Popular Abstract in Swedish En hjärtinfarkt, dvs död hjärtmuskel, uppstår då en del av hjärtats muskel inte blodförsörjs, exempelvis genom att en propp bildats i ett av hjärtats blodkärl. Detta tillstånd bör behandlas snarast möjligt för att rädda största möjliga del av hjärtmuskeln, eftersom en större infarkt innebär sämre pumpfunktion vilket ger patienten sämre prognos. Tidsförloppet för en hjärThe effect of duration of ischaemia on final infarct size is well established in animal studies, but not fully evaluated in humans. Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) can be used to distinguish between viable and non-viable myocardium and thus to quantify infarct size. We therefore used DE-MRI to investigate how duration of ischaemia affects final infarct size normalized

The phase behaviour of mixtures of recombined milk membrane lipids dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), sphingomyelin (SM), dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), phosphatidylinositol (PI) and dioleoylphosphatidylserine (DOPS) in 60% water was examined as a function of temperature between 5 and 90 °C. The aim was to examine under which lipid composition the average properties turn from balanced o

The prevalence of obstructive lung diseases is increasing in Scandinavia and worldwide. The reasons for this are not known. The prevalence varies between countries but also between different areas within the same country. In northern Europe a north-south gradient and also an east-west gradient have been proposed. To our knowledge this is the first comprehensive epidemiological study concerning obs

This study examined the influence of affective personality, perfectionism, gender, arousal and dilemma content on moral reasoning. 264 participants were presented with moral dilemmas to which they had to provide a solution that reflected various degrees of justice and care. The results indicated that a) affective personality had an effect on moral reasoning, b) female participants reported higher

In 19 consecutive patients with medial gonarthrosis, an arthroscopic examination with a biopsy of the load-bearing cartilage in the medial femoral condyle was undertaken at the same time as a proximal tibial osteotomy. A follow-up arthroscopic biopsy was performed on an average of 2 years after the osteotomy. In 9 knees there was an improvement in the cartilage quality, 8 knees were unchanged, whe

Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) at noncoding genetic markers are commonly assumed to reflect fitness effects of heterozygosity at genomewide distributed genes in partially inbred populations. However, in populations with much linkage disequilibrium (LD), HFCs may arise also as a consequence of selection on fitness loci in the local chromosomal vicinity of the markers. Recent data sugges

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det förgångna är framtiden är en socialantropologisk studie av ett politiskt skeende som pågått under de senaste 20 åren och som handlar om hur ursprungsfolket kanaka maoli i Hawai´i fått rätt till självbestämmande och andra särskilda rättigheter. Kanaka maoli har använt en diskursiv strategi som handlat om att de en gång i tiden varit ursprungligt suveräna och att dennThe sovereignty- and self-determination movements of indigenous peoples are a salient factor on the political agenda in many western world countries. Indigenous peoples in Hawai´i and elsewhere have become increasingly politicised in hope of changing their relationship with the states within which they are located. The discourse of indigenous peoples turn around the concept ”First Nations” whose c
