Objective. Selective leukocyte apheresis is a new type of non-pharmacological treatment for patients with active ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Preliminary data have indicated that this type of therapy is safe and efficacious, and large sham-controlled studies are currently in progress. In Scandinavia, a substantial number of patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease have already r

Objective: To compare 5% albumin, 6% dextran 70, 3.5% gelatin, 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4, and saline regarding their plasma volume expanding effect after a surgical skeletal muscle trauma and their simultaneous effects on transvascular fluid exchange in skeletal muscle. Design: Controlled, prospective, randomized laboratory study. Setting: University research laboratory. Subjects: Thirty-six

A novel prenylated isoflavanone, sigmoidin I, has been isolated from the roots of Erythrina sigmoidea, in addition to the known isoflavones, corylin and neobavaisoflavone and the known pterocarpan, phaseollidin. Its structure was established as 7,4'-dihydroxy-3'-methoxy-5'-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) isoflavanone by means of spectroscopic analyses and chemical transformations. Neobavaisoflavone displayed

I uppsatsen jämförs Rydbergs artiklar med hans roman Fribytaren på Östersjön. Kyrkokritiken är allvarligare, djupare och bredare i romanen trots att artiklarna är mer "rakt på sak".

Measurements of surface temperature and mass loss of decomposing construction materials during rapid pyrolysis are presented. Experiments have been performed With samples of low-density fiberboard. medium-density fiberboard,. particleboard and poly(methyl methacrylate) in a single particle reactor at temperatures between 300degrees and 600degreesC. Ultraviolet laser light was used to excite microm

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur uppfattar predikanter sitt predikouppdrag och hur uppfattar åhörare predikan? Hur förhåller sig dessa uppfattningar till olika predikoteoretiska perspektiv? Vilka konsekvenser får kunskapen om predikanters och åhörares uppfattningar för predikan? I undersökningen kartläggs hur de som är engagerade i predikosituationen tänker om predikan. Två grupper är då särskilt This study describes, systematizes and analyses the variations of preachers' conceptions of their mission to preach and their listeners' conceptions of the sermon. It does so in a phenomenographic and theological perspective. The conceptions of preachers and their listeners of the mission to preach and the sermon respectively are investigated by way of interviews. The basic issues are what differe

We demonstrate the use of nanoimprint lithography to define arrays of vertical InP nanowires. Each nanowire is individually seeded from a catalyzing gold particle and then grown via vapor-liquid-solid growth in a metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy system. The diameter and position of each nanowire can be controlled to create engineered arrays, demonstrated with a hexagonal photonic crystal pattern.

Terminal pumping has recently been installed in the Lund tandem Pelletron electrostatic accelerator. The equipment allows a higher gas density in the stripper and an improved vacuum in the accelerator tubes compared to the former system. This improvement has led to an increased beam transmission and to superior measurements for our accelerator mass spectrometry programme. The pressure profile of t

We present a comparative analysis of the unfolding and inactivation of three cutinases in the presence of guanidine hydrochloride (GdnHCl) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfasuccinate (AOT). Previous investigations have focused on the cutinase from Fusarium solani pisi (FsC). In addition to FsC, the present study includes the cutinase from Humicola insolens (HiC) and a mutant variant of HiC (mu HiC

OBJECTIVES: To examine the mechanisms by which intrauterine growth restriction may influence later cardiovascular risk by comparing the ventriculovascular physiology of gestational age- and weight-matched growth-restricted and normal fetuses. DESIGN: A prospective longitudinal observational study of 20 normal fetuses studied from 20 weeks to term at monthly intervals was compared with a growth-res

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att belysa hur det går till när lärare och elever görs till moraliska och etiska individer i klassrummet. Vi vill visa detta utifrån begreppet ansvar. Vi har observe-rat lektioner och intervjuat lärare och elever för att få reda på hur man talar om ansvar och hur man går tillväga för att skapa ansvariga individer. Vi har också studerat offentlThe perspective of this dissertation is grounded in the ideas and concepts of Michel Foucault. In analy-sing our empirical material we used his notions of discourse and discoursive practice, power, govern-mentality and subjectification. We were also inspired by Thomas Popkewitz, Jennifer Gore and Nicolas Rose. The aim of this dissertation is to elucidate how teachers and students are constructed a

Negotiations involving foreign aid are different from other types of bilateral negotiations. Normative and cultural aspects are distinctive attributes of aid negotiations, complicating any attempt to explain negotiation outcomes solely from a power perspective. Foreign aid negotiations between Sweden and Tanzania are permeated with norms: that rich states should give aid, that assistance should be

Woven convolutional codes with one tailbiting component code are studied and their generator matrices are given. It is shown that, if the constituent encoders are identical, a woven convolutional encoder with an outer convolutional warp and one inner tailbiting encoder (WIT) generates the same code as a woven convolutional encoder with one outer tailbiting encoder and an inner convolutional warp (

Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) was investigated for the extraction of two endosulfan isomers and their metabolite from two real contaminated soil samples. PLE for 3 x 10 min at 100 degrees C was proven to be more exhaustive than Soxhlet extraction (SOX) in one soil sample. On the other soil sample investigated the method was found to be equally exhaustive as SOX. The use of hazardous organic

The sound values of /z/ and /r/ in proto-Nordic are discussed. It is suggested that the modern Swedish [r] and [R] are different results in different areas of the merger between /z/ and /r/ in Old Swedish, depending on the distribution of stress in polysyllabic words. The article is a shorter version of Teleman, U. (2005), Om r-fonemets historia i Svenskan (Nordlund 5). Insittutionen för nordiska

We investigate how a small polar molecule, urea, can act to protect a phospholipid bilayer system against osmotic stress. Osmotic stress can be caused by a dry environment, by freezing, or by exposure to aqueous systems with high osmotic pressure due to solutes like in saline water. A large number of organisms regularly experience osmotic stress, and it is a common response to produce small polar

The verification of the correctness of planned and executed treatments is imperative for safety in radiotherapy. The purpose of the present work is to describe and evaluate the quality assurance (QA) procedures for patient dosimetry implemented at the boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) facility at Studsvik, Sweden. The dosimetric complexity of the mixed neutron-photon field during BNCT suggests
