Översatt och redigerat utdrag ur Peter Scepelerns opposition på Ann-Kristin Wallengrens avhandling i filmvetenskap: En afton på Röda Kvarn.

Primary defence against invading microorganisms depends on a functional innate immune system and the complement system plays a major role in such immunity. Deficiencies in one of the components of the complement system can cause severe and recurrent infections, systemic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and renal disease. Screening for complement deficiencies in the classical or

We present a novel method for monitoring isothermal lipid hydration using a sorption microcalorimeter. A measuring cell of the double-twin calorimeter consists of two vessels connected by a stainless steel tube. The upper vessel contains pure water, and the bottom vessel is loaded with the lipid sample. This calorimeter allows for simultaneous measurement of the partial molar enthalpy and the chem

Analys av gemensamma motiv i Alfred Hitchcocks Fönstret åt gården (Rear Window, 1954), Fåglarna (The Birds, 1963) och Marnie (1964).

The concentration of homocysteine in plasma has been shown to be increased in renal failure, possibly contributing to the accelerated atherosclerosis observed in uraemic patients. The aim of the present study was to document the relationship between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations and glomerular filtration rates (GFR) in highly selected patients, with renal function ranging from no

Xanthoria soechtingi growing on bark of Salix sp. in Yakutia (Russia) is described as new to science.

In this study, a method was developed for determination of the free concentration of 4-isobutylacetophenone, a toxic degradation product of ibuprofen, in river and sewage water samples from Sweden. Sample preparation and analysis were performed by a hollow-fibre microporous membrane liquid-liquid extraction (HF-MMLLE) set-up and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), respectively. In this n

Globalization is supposed to increase the mobility of highly skilled labor and to reduce governments' scope for redistribution. We show that this increases the private incentives for education and may decrease, but may also increase, the government's incentives to provide education subsidies in a framework in which education investment is risky. Globalization shifts the cost of these subsidies to

In this paper, multiple windows, optimal for locally stationary processes (MW-LSP) are used to estimate the spectrogram of the electroencephalogram (EEG) where we focus on the ability to estimate transient frequency changes. A peak of known frequency was evoked in the EEG spectrum in a predetermined time interval, by using a 9 Hz flickering light. We investigate the multiple windows corresponding

Stabilization of the state of equilibrium of affine system controlled by saturating control is investigated. Saturating stabilizing control is designed by means of rescaling of control laws after linearization of the system under feedback control. A method for estimation of the stabilized region of state space is provided. As an example, a solution to the task of stabilization of the orientation o

Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) between final state particles in the reaction e(+)e(-) -> W+ W- -> q(1)(q(2)) over barq(3)(q(4)over bar>) over bar) have been studied. Data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 550 pb(-1), recorded by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, were analysed. An indication for inter-W BEC between like-sign particles has

BAY 81-8973, a full-length, unmodified, recombinant factor VIII (FVIII) in development for treatment of haemophilia A, has the same primary amino acid sequence as Bayer's sucrose-formulated recombinant FVIII but is produced with more advanced manufacturing technologies.

Post-traumatic microalbuminuria may be caused by either charge- or size-selective alterations in the glomerular filtration barrier, or both, and/or to a reduction in proximal tubular protein reabsorption (PTR). This study was performed to elucidate the pathophysiology of the increases in glomerular permeability occurring in rats exposed to laparotomy or to laparotomy and muscle trauma. In anaesthe

This is a biography of Allvar Gullstrand (1862-1930) on the occasion of the centennial of his 1911 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. We reviewed pertinent literature and we did archival studies at the Uppsala University Library and the Regional State Archives at Lund as well as the Nobel Archives at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. Allvar Gullstrand was a brilliant scientis

The optimal temperature during targeted temperature management (TTM) for comatose patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is unknown. It has been hypothesized that patients with long no-flow times, for example those without bystander CPR would have the most to gain from temperature management at lower temperatures.

BACKGROUND: Selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) is used for extending the period during which surgical procedures can be safely performed. We sought to determine the direct effects of pH management on cerebral microcirculation and metabolism during SCP. METHODS: An experimental SCP porcine model was created by selectively allowing cold perfusate only into the bicarotid brachiocephalic trunk during
