Popular Abstract in Swedish Förlossning efter kejsarsnitt Kejsarsnitt utgör för närvarande cirka 17% av alla förlossningar i Sverige. En konsekvens av detta är att allt fler kvinnor kommer till specialistmödravården för rådgivning om vilket förlossningssätt som är säkrast vid förlossningen efter ett kejsarsnitt. Två möjligheter finns: planerad vaginal förlossning eller planerat kejsarsnitt. När maBirth after caesarean section (CS) is an issue of growing importance. As a consequence of increasing CS rates, more women having experienced a prior CS will need counselling about preferred second delivery mode. There are two choices: elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS) or trial of labour (TOL). It is well known, that a TOL ending in an emergency CS carries the largest risks for mother and ch

This paper deals with approximate solutions to integral equations arising in boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation in simply connected piecewise smooth domains. The approximation method considered demonstrates excellent convergence even in the case of boundary conditions discontinuous at corner points. In an application we obtain very accurate approximations for some characteristics

The K 2p photoionization and subsequent LMM Auger decay have been studied for molecular gas-phase KCl, KBr and KI. The detected manifold spectral structure of the Auger electron spectrum of KCl has been interpreted to originate from strong molecular field effects. This indicates that Auger decay on potassium side of originally very ionic molecules creates inner-shell hole states with a strong mole

We analyze a coincidence Stem-Gerlach measurement often discussed in connection with the derivation and illustration of Bell's theorem. The treatment is based on our recent analysis of the original Stern-Gerlach experiment [H. Wennerstrom and P.-O. Westlund, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 14, 1677 (2012)1, where it is concluded that it is necessary to include a spin relaxation process to account for the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det görs en rad försök till demokratisk förnyelse ute i kommunerna. I denna avhandling är det min ambition att analysera ett sådant försök; medborgarutskotten i Helsingborg. De frågeställningar avhandlingen behandlar är 1) vad ligger bakom samtalets betoning i medborgarutskottens deltagardemokratiska aktiviteter? 2) Hur positioneras kommuninvånare som medborgare då medThis is a study of civic communication in a municipal setting. In the south Swedish municipality of Helsingborg operated Civic Committees between 2003 and 2006. The Civic Committees organized different kinds of activities together with the citizens out in the different neighbourhoods of the municipality, such as open meetings, neighbourhood walks, workshops for the future and meetings with specifi

Spectral Doppler ultrasound imaging typically consists of a spectrogram, showing the velocity distribution of the blood, and a brightness (B-) mode image allowing the operator to navigate. It is desirable to have both high spectral and velocity resolution, so that details in the blood flow can be traced, as well as a high B-mode frame rate to allow for tracking of movements and to adjust the posit

Background When acute coronary syndrome (ACS) cannot be ruled out, emergency department (ED) patients with chest pain are admitted for in-hospital observation because of the risk of complications such as arrhythmia and acute heart failure. A study was undertaken to compare the ability of three risk prediction models to identify patients at a very low risk of complications. Methods 559 consecutive

The past decade has seen a vast increase in empirical research investigating associations between social capital and health outcomes. Literature reviews reveal 'generalized trust' and 'social participation' to be the most robust of the commonly used social capital proxies, both showing positive association with health outcomes. However, this association could be confounded by unmeasured factors, s

A measurement of the production cross section of top quark pairs (t (t) over bar) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider is reported. Candidate events are selected in the dilepton topology with large missing transverse energy and at least two jets. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of

This thesis deals with experimental tests and methods for strength analysis of glulam beams with holes. Test results and methods for strength analysis available in literature are compiled and discussed. The methods considered comprise both code strength design methods and more general methods for strength analysis. New strength tests of beams with quadratic holes with rounded corners are presente

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) and fibrosarcoma (FS) of bone are rare malignant tumours and contentious entities. Sixty seven cases labelled as bone MFH (57) and bone FS (10) were retrieved from five bone tumour referral centres and reviewed to determine whether recent advances allowed for reclassification and identification of histological subgroups with distinct clinical behaviour. A panel

The problems of allocation of scarce resources and priority setting in health care have so far not been much studied in the context of stem cell-based therapeutic applications. If and when competitive cost-effective stem cell-based therapies are available, the problem of priority setting - to whom should stem cell-based therapies be offered and on what grounds - is discussed in this article using

The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibilities to manufacture wet-glued laminated beams for load bearing applications from Norway spruce side board lamellae and by that achieve products that are difficult to obtain from the centre yield of a log and also contribute to increased profitability in the sawmill industry.

Properties such as shape stability, strength an

Contributions of vibrationrotation interaction to line intensities of pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) of oxygen are here considered in the perspective of what was remarked by us recently for nitrogen. The interaction is conventionally evaluated by means of the so-called HermanWallis (HW) factor, the need of which is conceptually clear but the theoretical expression is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkemedelsanvändning är en av sjukvårdens viktigaste behandlingsmetoder för att bota och lindra sjukdom. Samtidigt kan läkemedelsanvändning innebära risker. Det finns en risk för att patienterna får biverkningar av sina läkemedel, att läkemedlen fungerar mindre bra tillsammans och att effekten därmed upphör eller förstärks. Vidare finns det risk för att läkemedlen inte Background: There are differences in drug use depending on non-medical factors such as age, gender and socioeconomic status. The combined effect of these factors, with adjustment for multimorbidity, is highly relevant to study to ensure equality in drug use. Objectives: 1. To examine drug use related to age, gender, income and education after adjustment for multimorbidity, in an entire adult popul

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) emerged during the last decade as a disease largely of complement dysregulation. This advance facilitated the development of novel, rational treatment options targeting terminal complement activation, e.g., using an anti-C5 antibody (eculizumab). We review treatment and patient management issues related to this therapeutic approach. We present consensus cl

The decay chain of Fm-246 has been investigated employing the SHIP separator at GSI Darmstadt. The Fm-246 nuclei were produced via the Ar-40(Pb-208, 2n)Fm-246 fusion-evaporation reaction. Improved values of the half-life, T-1/2 = 1.54(4) s, and of the spontaneous fission branching ratio, b(SF) = 0.068(6), of Fm-246 were obtained. The beta(+)/electron capture branching ratio, b(EC) = 0.39(3), of Cf

This Letter reports a measurement of the high-mass Drell-Yan differential cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. Based on an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb(-1), the differential cross-section in the Z/gamma* -> e(+)e(-) channel is measured with the ATLAS detector as a function of the invariant mass, m(ee), in the range 116 < m(ee) < 1500 GeV, for
