Detection and removal sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) is important in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and malignant melanoma. The SLN is the first regional lymph node draining the cancer tumor and if the cancer has spread it is most likely to find cancer cells in the SLN. In this study we have been able to detect multimodal superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIO-NP) in rat SLNs i

In this study we investigate utterance-final intonation in two dialects of Kammu, one tonal and one non-tonal. While the general patterns of utterance-final intonation are similar between the dialects, we do find clear evidence that the lexical tones of the tonal dialect restrict the pitch range and the realization of focus. Speaker engagement can have a strong effect on the utterance-final accent

Enligt det av riksdagen antagna miljöpolitiska generationsmålet ska Sverige till nästa generation lämna över ett land där de stora miljöproblemen är lösta, utan att orsaka ökade problem på annat håll i världen. Detta mål omöjliggör ett snävt nationellt perspektiv på exempelvis utsläpp av klimatgaser. Vi kan inte nöja oss med att få ner de inhemska utsläppen om vi samtidigt drar nytta av ökade utsl

Energy efficiency ex-ante policy evaluation is commonly, but not exclusively, concerned with the simulation and modelling of policy instruments and resulting technological change. Using the residential sector as case study, the paper provides a meta-analysis of models and modelling exercises and scrutinise their relevance for the field of energy efficiency policy evaluation. The methodology of stu

I will start out with an overview of common assumptions on the impact of free trade on the environment – assumptions which, very much like the first part of Lamy’s statement, are all-encompassing and deterministic. From there, I will narrow down the scope of examination to specific and immediate hardware-to-hardware impacts: akin to the second part of the above statement, the emphasis shall be put

This book chapter is a queer-theatrical analysis of "The Queen's Tiara, or, Azouras Lazuli Tintomara" by C.J.L. Almqvist.

The aim of the chapter is to present aspects of generation and gender in relation to ecological behaviour in Sweden. Past studies have compared age groups, sexes or some other classified groups in relation to attitudes and behaviour. The studies present an empirical overview. To get a deeper understanding of attitudes and behaviour we are in need of theoretical renewal with references to both clas

This article discusses Henrik Ibsen's character Nora from "A Doll's House" performed in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

In this work, a method for non-invasive assessment of AF organization has been applied to discriminating between paroxysmal and long-term persistent AF episodes. Following extraction of the atrial activity (AA) signal, the dominant atrial frequency (DAF) of the AA was computed based on a hidden Markov model. Finally, the main atrial wave (MAW) was obtained by bandpass filtering centered on the DAF

Resistivity measurements were carried out in order to identify preferential seepage paths in a small dam in central Sweden. Increased seepage flow had been observed at high reservoir levels. Repeated resistivity measurements were performed along the dam crest during 24 hours controlled rising of the reservoir. Each measurement data set was compared to the original reference data set using time-lap

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodkärlens glatta muskulatur kan anpassa sig till ett ökat tryck genom omstrukturering och hypertrofi, vilket ofta ses hos patienter med hypertoni. De molekylära mekanismerna som ger upphov till dessa effekter är inte fullständigt klarlagda. Vi har därför utvecklat en modell för att undersöka effekterna av tryck (sträckning av kärlväggen) på kärlpreparat från portaven Vascular smooth muscle can adapt to increased intraluminal pressure by remodelling and hypertrophy, as seen in hypertension. The molecular mechanisms responsible for this are still incompletely characterized. We have developed an organ culture system where strips of rat or mouse portal veins are cultured for 1 to 3 days loaded (stretched) by an attached weight and then studied for morphology, func
