Endogenous and exogenous sex hormones are of pivotal importance for women’s health. Hormone therapy has been widely studied but there is limited data about androgen and androgen replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to delineate the possible interrelations between endogenous androgens and women’s particularly pertaining to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and risk markers for CVD in perimeno
Knowledge about the nutrient and carbon budgets in forest soils is essential to maintain sustainable production, but also in several environmental issues, such as acidification, eutrophication and climate change. The budgets are strongly influenced by atmospheric deposition as well as forestry. This study demonstrates how budget calculations for nitrogen (N), carbon (C) and base cations (BC) can b
OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression pattern of some novel matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in cycling endometrium. DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Palacky University Medical School and University Hospital, Olomouc, Czech Republic, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital, Lund, Sweden. METHODS: We studied MMP-12, -16, -17, -1
Electroencephalography (EEG) and neuroradiology are both indispensible techniques in cases of suspected epileptic seizure, when the aim of investigation is to determine whether the seizure was of epileptic nature, and if so whether it was the result of specific provocative factors or an expression of epileptic disease. In the latter case, the epileptic condition should be classified and its aetiol
OBJECTIVE: To compare how three different energy adjustment approaches influence the ranking of individuals on fat intake, and to examine the relation between fat intake and socio-economic, demographic and lifestyle characteristics for each energy adjustment approach. DESIGN: A cross-sectional analysis project, using a sub-sample (7055 women and 3240 men) from the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study. Diet
Quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the combination of FISH with microautoradiography (MAR) were used in order to study the long-term population dynamics (2.5 years) and the in situ physiology in two parallel activated sludge pilot systems with enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). The two systems received the same influent wastewater, but were differently operated
The densities of populations in a community or food web vary as a consequence of both population interactions and environmental (e.g. weather) fluctuations. Populations often respond to the same kinds of environmental fluctuations, and therefore experience correlated environments. Furthermore, some environmental factors change slowly over time, thereby producing positive environmental autocorrelat
The electronic A(1)A(2) <-- X(1)A(1) absorption spectra of formaldehyde vapour were studied at temperatures varying from 423 to 770 K with variable pressures from less than 0.1 to 1 MPa. Broadband vibronic and partially rotationally resolved 4(n)(1) rovibronic spectra of formaldehyde showed considerable sensitivity to temperature. The high resolution spectra showed collision-induced broadening as
In recent years domestic violence has become an issue of major importance in Sweden. This is a fact to be observed in mass media but also in changes made in legislation. As concern and attention raises, new victim groups are "discovered". Among these we find women who have come to Sweden as refugees, through their marriage to Swedish men, or when reunited with a husband who arrived earlier. These
Consider a complete simply connected hyperbolic surface. The classical Hadamard theorem asserts that at each point of the surface, the exponential mapping from the tangent plane to the surface defines a global diffeomorphism. This can be interpreted as a statement relating the metric flow on the tangent plane with that of the surface. We find an analogue of Hadamard's theorem with metric flow repl
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies were performed on aqueous solutions of poly(acrylic acid) hydrophobically modified with two very different levels of naphthalene (Np). It is demonstrated that unique information on association phenomena involving hydrophobe-modifed polymers can be obtained from an extended fluorescence study by using data for a less-modified polymer as a referenc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling undersöker dagvatten som en resurs i svensk urban miljö. Fokus har varit öppna dagvattensystem för flödeskontroll och uppsamlingssystem för regnvatten. För att analysera realiserandet av öppna dagvattensystem, presenteras två fallstudier; Augustenborg i Malmö och Bäckaslöv våtmark i Växjö. De kvarhållande och fördröjande effekterna som uppnås med gröna This thesis investigates the beneficial use of stormwater in Swedish urban environments. The focus has been on open stormwater systems for source control, as well as rainwater collection systems. To analyse the implementation of open stormwater systems, two case studies are presented: Augustenborg in Malmö and Bäckaslöv wetland in Växjö. The retention and detention effects of green-roofs have been
