1. Strips from the follicle wall of bovine ovaries were incubated in Krebs-Ringer solution containing 3H-noradrenaline for measurement of transmitter liberation during electrical field stimulation (5 Hz frequency, 1 ms pulse duration, 10 V between the electrodes). The effects of noradrenaline as well as selective alpha-adrenoreceptor agonists and antagonists were studied on the electrically induce

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbättrad patientsäkerhet och omvårdnad av patienter med höftraktur Intervention granskad i det nationella kvalitetsregistret RIKSHÖFT Varje år drabbas ca 18 000 personer i Sverige av höftfraktur efter fall. Höftfraktur är ett samlingsnamn för två frakturtyper i den övre delen av lårbenet. Den ena frakturtypen är lokaliserad till lårbenshalsen (cervikal fraktur) och dAim: Hip fractures are common and costly. The overall aim of this thesis was to explore how different clinical pathways influence safety and quality of care among patients with a hip fracture and to test the usefulness of the national quality register RIKSHÖFT as a working tool. The aim in paper I was to improve the outcome of patients with a hip fracture through optimized preoperative pain relief

ydrophobically modified polymers (HM-P) typically behave as thickeners in a wide range of systems. The thickening effect in an aqueous solution of this kind of polymer depends on intermolecular hydrophobic associations and also on chain entanglements if the polymer concentration is significantly above the overlap concentration. In the present investigation a rather short end-capped polymer has bee

This article describes an evaluation of six different methods for prioritizing software requirements. Based on the quality requirements for a telephony system, the authors individually used all six methods on separate occasions to prioritize the requirements. The methods were then characterized according to a number of criteria from a user's perspective. We found the analytic hierarchy process to

Birdsong is one of the main models in sexual selection studies. Most investigations focused on oscines in which male song and female preference learning occur. Yet, some non-oscines are well suited for such studies as well. In Columbidae song learning does not occur. However, like in oscines, song is involved in inter- and intra-sexual interactions. Surprisingly, experimental evidence of female so

We analyze the impact of mutual coupling on the capacity of MEMO systems with compact antenna arrays. Existing studies present conflicting views on the effect of mutual coupling. This is, in part, due to their different scopes and underlying assumptions of the system setups. In this paper, we aim to give a comprehensive picture by first examining the impact of mutual coupling on three capacity-rel

Popular Abstract in Swedish En god näringstillförsel är viktigt för att ett barn ska växa och utvecklas tillfredställande. De första 2-3 åren innebär en kraftig tillväxt och optimalt kostintag är därför extra viktigt under denna perioden. Barnets vikt tredubblas först året och längden ökar med 50 %. Hjärnan har en kraftig tillväxt de första 3 åren. Således är näringsbehoven relativt sett störst deThe overall aim of this thesis was to describe the prevalence of iron deficiency (ID) and factors influencing iron status and iron intake among otherwise healthy children. The specific aim in paper I+II was to describe the prevalence of ID among 2 ½-year-old children in relation to intake of cow's milk and follow-on formula. The design in the first two papers were cross-sectional and 367 2 ½-year-

The development of new binders used for coatings has traditionally been driven by a combination of the need for technical improvements and increased environmental awareness, together with stricter legislation regarding VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions. One interesting way to achieve new types of binders is to combine already existing ones, thereby exploiting the positive properties of bot

Solving the simplified model of the Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov equation in coordinate space with the correct asymptotic boundary conditions, the spin-orbit splitting, occupation probabilities, effective pair-gap, mean square radius, and spin-response function are studied for weakly bound p neutrons. As the binding energy of p3∕2 neutrons becomes small or approaches zero, the spin-orbit splitting p3∕2

A constitutive model for diffusionless phase transitions in elastoplastic materials undergoing large deformations is developed. The model takes basic thermodynamic relations as its starting point and the phase transition is treated through an internal variable (the phase fractions) approach. The usual yield potential is used together with a transformation potential to describe the evolution of the

BACKGROUND: Markedly decreased or absent gastric acid production is associated with a number of clinically significant conditions, and identification of patients with hypo/achlorhydria may be important. However, current methods of assessing impaired acid secretion are unreliable, time-consuming, and/or complex. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate a modified endoscopic Congo red test

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av hjärnans mest fascinerande egenskaper är dess förmåga att ständigt anpassa sig till nya utmaningar och förändringar i den yttre eller inre miljön. Denna formbarhet, eller plasticitet, sker på olika nivåer från små förändringar på molekylnivå till antalet av eller styrkan i förbindelser mellan nervceller och mängden transmittorsubstans de utsöndrar. De senaste deceNew neurons are spontaneously generated in two regions of the adult brain, the hippocampus and the subventricular zone/olfactory bulb. The objective of this thesis was to study potential implications for adult neurogenesis in Alzheimer's (AD) and Parkinson's diseases (PD). PD is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. It has been suggested that new dopaminer
