The Counts memorials: A short presentation and interpretation of a number of memorials erected by the count Per Brahe junior between 1653 and 1680 on Visingsö and in Skärstad in Småland, at Dimbo in Västergötland and Östra Ryd in Uppland.

The Golden Ages of Gotland - churches, conjunctures and crusades: A hypothesis which relates the enormous church building on medieval Gotland to an economic boom during the Baltic crusades

The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) in Sweden. This evaluation is set against the background of evidence-based social work practice and is organized around four separate but interrelated studies. The first of these studies used program theory reconstruction to investigate three conceptualizations of evidence-based

Despite recent progress, therapy for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) is still inadequate. Dysregulated Notch signaling in CCRCC contributes to tumor growth, but the full spectrum of downstream processes regulated by Notch in this tumor form is unknown.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Medical emigration from developing to developed countries is a well established phenomenon of substantial importance. Though Libya is classified as an upper-middle income country, it has been affected by this trend. This study was undertaken to identify some of the possible reasons behind the emigration of Libyan doctors and factors that might motivate them to return. FINDING

Since their introduction to the toad-free Australian continent cane toads (Bufo marinus) have caused a dramatic increase in naïve varanid mortality when these large lizards attempt to feed on this toxic amphibian. In contrast Asian-African varanids, which have coevolved with toads, are resistant to toad toxin. Toad toxins, such as Bufalin target the H1-H2 domain of the α(1) subunit of the sodium-p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Centralt i avhandlingen är självbiografiskt minne och metaforer. Tre hypoteser framförs: (1) Den dikotomisering av deklarativa långtidsminnet som Tulving föreslagit är inte tillräcklig för att förklara självbiografiskt minne. Istället föreslås en alternativ modell där semantiskt och självbiografiskt minne överlappar varandra och där återupplevelseminnet uppfattas som enThe central topics of the thesis are autobiographical memory and metaphors. Three hypotheses are presented: (1) Autobiographical memory is better understood without dichotomizing the declarative (explicit) long-term memory system into semantic and episodic. An alternative model is proposed in which semantic and autobiographical memory are overlapping and the recollective memory is regarded as a me

The article describes a survey of the societal services in Sweden that are available after a spinal cord injury. These services are allocated to allow independence and financial compensation. I have investigated the kinds of services that are available. I have also interviewed 34 of a total incidence population of 48 people, to find out which services were applied for, and to describe the levels o

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is characterized by nonrandom chromosomal aberrations, varying from one or a few changes in early-stage and low-grade tumors, to highly rearranged karyotypes in muscle-invasive lesions. Recent array-CGH analyses have shed further light on the genomic changes underlying the neoplastic development of UC, and have facilitated the molecular delineation a

The quaternary system comprising sodium dodecyl sulfate/water/pentanol/dodecane has been studied at high oil content and at two different water-to-surfactant ratios. Of particular interest is a highly flow birefringent, isotropic fluid phase, which occupies an island in the pseudo-ternary phase diagrams between the L2 phase and the L3 phase and which is in close proximity to the dilute lamellar ph
