Recension av två böcker om sex-, skräck och actionfilm - Ekeroths med fokus på svenska titlar från 1960-talet och framåt, Blomdahls med fokus på både europeisk och amerikansk skräck från 1980 och framåt.

In 1999 a new and simplified procedure for calibration of the Owren prothrombin time (Owren PT) assay was introduced in Sweden by the national external quality assessment scheme (Equalis). The new protocol allowed local calibration by means of lyophilised national plasma calibrators and expression of results as an international normalised ratio (INR). A two-year follow-up involving analysis of dat

To determine the importance of the phosphorylation capacity of receptor kinase as well as the ability to serve as docking sites for SH2-domain-containing signal transduction molecules, we established pig aortic endothelial cell lines stably expressing kinase-active platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) alpha-receptors together with kinase-inactive beta-receptors, and vice versa. After stimulation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra oberoende empiriska studier. Samtliga studier bidrar till den ekonomiska litteraturen kring barn och ungdomars hälsa och hälsans betydelse för utbildning och arbetsmarknadsutfall senare i livet. Samtliga studier focuserar på typ 1-diabetes men beaktar olika åldrar för sjukdomens debut. En sammanfattande slutsats av avhandlingen är att individThis thesis consists of four independent exploratory research papers contributing to the economic literature on child and adolescent health, and adult educational and labor market outcomes. Each paper considers type 1 diabetes and focuses on onset over a specific age span. An overall conclusion of this thesis is that individuals with type 1 diabetes deviate from peers without diabetes, irrespectiv

Scand J Caring Sci; 2009 Utilization of medical healthcare among people receiving long-term care at home or in special accommodation Aim: To investigate the utilization of medical healthcare, hospital care and outpatient care, during a 1-year period in relation to informal care, multimorbidity, functional status and health complaints and to long-term care at home or in special accommodation among

Avian time-activity budgets are known to be affected by many environmental factors. The aim of this study was to examine whether roosting times of common ravens Corvus corax are affected by inclement weather conditions in response to increased energy demands. The study was conducted at a communal roost of ravens in Thuringia, Germany, from August 2003 to January 2005. The number of roosting ravens

The phenotype of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) commonly evolves between and within infected individuals, at virus transmission, and during disease progression. This evolution includes altered interactions between the virus and its coreceptors, i.e., chemokine receptors, as well as mannose C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). Transmitted/founder viruses are predominantly restricted to CCR5

In this article we introduce a new concept, structural identifiability, which plays a central role in identification problems. The concept is useful when answering questions such as: To what extent is it possible to get insight into the internal structure of a system from input-output measurements? What experiments are necessary in order to determine the internal couplings uniquely? The definition

Hip fractures are a major cause of hospital stay among the elderly, and result in increased disability and mortality. In this study from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004, the influence of optimised treatment of hip fracture on time to operation, length of hospital stay, reoperations and mortality within 1 year were investigated. Comparisons were made between the first 210 patients in the period and t

Two novel sites of autophosphorylation were localized to the juxtamembrane segment of the human platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) beta-receptor. To evaluate the importance of these phosphorylation sites, receptor mutants were made in which Tyr579, Tyr581 or both were replaced with phenylalanine residues; the receptor mutants were stably expressed in porcine aortic endothelial cells.
