The wooden transverse flute that is in focus in this PhD­project was originally a further development of the transverse flute of the baroque era. It was the favoured instrument in Western art music during much of the 19th century. However during the late 19th century the Boehm­system flute became the instrument of choice among most practitioners of Western art music. Even though I have been well i

Summary Objective There is limited knowledge on sick leave associated with arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) due to traumatic meniscal tear and its potential gender differences. Thus, our aim was to determine gender-specific sick leave before and after APM. Method In Skåne region, Sweden, we identified patients, aged 18–59 years diagnosed with traumatic meniscal tear without ligament injury,

ABSTRACT In field‐trapping experiments the unsaturated analogues (E)‐6‐, (E)‐12‐, and (Z)‐12‐tetradecenyl acetate were as attractive to male Yponomeuta rorellus Latr. as the native pheromone component tetradecyl acetate. All four analogues attracted more males than virgin females did, whereas (Z)‐6‐, (E)‐11‐, (Z)‐10‐ and (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate were essentially non‐attractive. Addition of 1–30

The purpose was to examine if scatter correction software could replace a grid while maintaining image quality and reducing radiation dose for pelvic DR examinations. Grid images was produced with 70 kV and 16mAs. Anthropomorphic- and Contrast Detail RADiography (CDRAD) non-grid images were produced with 60 kV, 80 kV and 90 kV combined with five different mAs and scatter correction software. The a

Understanding the spatial dimension of project-making is important because projects are almost always restricted to a spatial focus – they are being spatialised. There are spatial projects referring to the geographical scale of the project, such as global, local or regional projects. There are spatial projects referring to hierarchies of political entities, such as state, county or municipal proje

Literary culture has recently become aware of the printed book as an object and a medium. The spread of new media results in a situation, where the book can no longer be taken for granted and therefore, it requires new cultural and commercial value. The article investigates how the changing status and function of the printed book in contemporary culture is reflected in two recent experimental nove

Following a ‘boom’ in audiobook consumption, recent years have seen the emergence of born-audio literature: narratives written specifically for the audiobook format. The article focuses on the content and usage of born-audio serial narratives produced by the Swedish audiobook subscription service, Storytel. As these so-called Storytel Originals are produced specifically for the audiobook format, t

Plutonium and americium have been measured in surface waters of the Greenland and Barents Seas and in the northern North Sea from 1980 through 1984. Measurements in water and biota, Fucus, Mytilus and Patella, were carried out in North-English and Scottish waters in 1982 and Fucus samples were collected from the Irish coast in 1983. Fallout is found to dominate as a source of 239+240Pu north of la

The aim of this study was to compare the influence of flow in the velocity range 0 to 25 mm/s on modulus, phase, real and imaginary images obtained with a standard magnetic resonance scanner (Siemens Magnetom, 0.5 T), and to develop a simple method for determination of flow velocities in vivo from this information. Using a flow phantom, the flow dependent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal ha

Clots of 1 ml venous blood formed in glass tubes after 10 min at room temperature were incubated at 37°C with the radiopharmaceutical to be studied. Methods for quality control of the radiopharmaceuticals were compared. Gel chromatography scanning was found to give reliable information. The incorporation into the clot was studied at different pH values and after various time intervals. The highest

The enzyme transglutaminase 2 (TG2) plays a crucial role in the initiation of celiac disease by catalyzing the deamidation of gluten peptides. In susceptible individuals, the deamidated peptides initiate an immune response leading to celiac disease. Several studies have addressed lactic fermentation plus addition of enzymes as a means to degrade gluten in order to prevent adverse response in celia

The interest of in vivo measurements of fat has increased over the years due to the increasing prevalence of obesity and obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver. The relationship between the accumulation of adipose tissue within the different depots and organs of the body, and the risk of developing numerous diseases, has been investigated and establish

HIV-1 transmission patterns within and between populations at different risk of HIV-1 acquisition in Kenya are not well understood. We investigated HIV-1 transmission networks in men who have sex with men (MSM), injecting drug users (IDU), female sex workers (FSW) and heterosexuals (HET) in coastal Kenya. We used maximum-likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetics to analyse new (N = 163) and previously

As part of an extensive air chemistry programme, during summer 1980, on board the Swedish ice-breaker 'Ymer', levels of 222Rn (radon) and its long-lived daughters 210Pb and 210Po were measured. The radon was trapped on charcoal and the long-lived daugther products sampled on filters on a daily basis. In addition, short-lived progenies were followed continuously on the filters in order to achieve a

A computerized system for inducing total body hyperthermia by microwave irradiation was tested in rats. The tolerance to hyperthermia at different temperatures and fractions was studied as well as its effect on the growth of transplanted adenocarcinomas in the liver. Survival results indicated that 41.5 degrees C was maximum tolerated temperature both after single and repeated one hour exposures.
