Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar ekonomisk tillväxt och finanspolitik. Med ekonomisk tillväxt avses tillväxttakten i BNP – det sammanlagda värdet av alla varor och tjänster som produceras för slutlig användning i ett land – och med finanspolitik avses handhavandet av de offentliga finanserna. Efter ett introduktionskapitel följer fem kapitel som är fristående från varandra. De trThis thesis deals with the two subjects economic growth and fiscal policy. The first three chapters after the introduction are theoretical approaches to the determination of long-run growth. In each of these chapters, the ability of fiscal policy to influence long-run growth is examined as well. The next chapter relates the development of GDP in the long run to the financial system. The final chap

We performed a detailed census of the breeding population of Barred Warblers Sylvia nisoria in the Ottenby area on the southernmost part of the island Oland, SE Sweden, in the years 1999 and 2000. The number of territories in the study area was similar to the census conducted in 19711975, although the distribution of territories had changed. In 1999-2000 most territories were located in the grazed

PURPOSE AND MATERIAL: The aim of this work was, firstly, to compare different manufacturer-provided MRA sequences in a 1.0 T MR unit, with respect to the visibility of an artificial stenosis in a flow phantom and, secondly, to evaluate the same sequences in healthy volunteers with respect to S/N ratio levels and practical in vivo implementation routines. METHODS: The studied sequences were 2D and

In order to clarify the origins and pathways of vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP)-containing nerve fibers in cerebral blood vessels of rat, denervation experiments and retrograde axonal tracing methods (true blue) were used. Numerous VIP-positive nerve cells were recognized in the sphenopalatine ganglion and in a mini-ganglion (internal carotid mini-ganglion) located on the internal carotid

The effects of cultivar (n = 4), root weight (n = 4), storage (S months) and boiling (7 min) and their interactions on the content of dry matter and carbohydrates were studied and ranked in carrots. Boiling had the greatest effect and had an influence on all variables except the ratio between sucrose and the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. The choice of cultivar was also of great importance

The thesis consideres the molecular events that take place in the cerebral arteries following a stroke. The degree and temporal course of reperfusion following a stroke is pivotal for the survival of the neuronal tissue in the penumbra. Previous investigations have revealed upregulation of contractile receptors, a putative factor in the blood flow reduction following stroke that can could augment

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan är uppbyggd av ett stort antal celler. För att kroppens olika organ ska kunna samverka och för att kroppen ska kunna fungera som en helhet, måste de olika cellerna kommunicera med varandra. Cellernas kommunikationssystem är uppbyggt av mottagare, s.k. receptorer, på de olika cellernas yta och signaler som skickas runt mellan cellerna. Receptorerna och signaleThe chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 are required, together with CD4, for the entry of HIV-1 into target cells. CCR5 using HIV-1 dominates during transmission and the asymptomatic phase of infection. During progression, virus phenotypes with the ability to use CXCR4 emerge in about 50% of infected individuals. Individuals continuously harbouring CCR5-restricted isolates still progress to AIDS. D

One general class of attacks on stream ciphers is correlation attacks. Most of previous results regarding performance of correlation attacks have been based entirely on simulations. In this paper, we use random coding bounds for convolutional codes to give a theoretical analysis of a previously proposed correlation attack based on convolutional codes. The results from the theoretical derivation ar

Computed tomography (CT) examinations and functional scores were evaluated in 28 patients with thoracolumbar fractures with intraspinal fragments, of whom 20 underwent operation. The cross-sectional area and the sagittal and frontal diameters of the spinal canal were measured after the injury, postoperatively, and at follow-up (mean, 6 years). The operative reduction significantly increased both d

In mice and man, females prefer males with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genotype different to their own. We tested whether this phenomenon also occurs in the Swedish sand lizard (Lacerta agilis). Females in a laboratory experiment preferred to associate with odour samples obtained from more distantly related males at the MHC class 1 loci. Data on free-ranging lizards suggest that assoc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Dramatiska händelser har inträffat regelbundet under jordens historia. Primära, kortvariga katastrofer som t ex asteroidnedslag, omfattande vulkanism eller kraftiga jordskalv kan ge långvariga miljöeffekter, som t ex global uppvärmning eller nedkylning, förändringar i havsnivå och cirkulationsmönster, syrefria oceanbottnar mm. Alla deGeological and biological catastrophic events have occurred repeatedly in the Earth's history, leaving traces in the global stratigraphical record in the form of sedimentary features, geochemical anomalies and biotic turnovers. This thesis focuses on the sedimentological and geochemical signatures of several key events in the Phanerozoic stratigraphical record, and aims to interpret the different

objective: To study fathers' perception of, and involvement in, their children's health. Design: Telephone interviews according to a structured guide. Setting: County of Skane, Sweden. Main outcome measures: Answers regarding care and upbringing of child, child's health and ill health, and role of father. Subjects: 237 fathers of small children. Results: Fathers seem to be involved in their childr

Basic analysis of a potential carrier includes calculation of the probability, or odds, for carriership based on pedigree and clotting factor analysis. Genotype assessment constitutes a more accurate method of carrier detection. Where circumstances permit, the genetic diagnosis of hemophilia should be based on the direct identification of the pathogenic mutation in the factor (F) VIII gene. Neutra

Two acid deposition scenarios were simulated for six European forest sites situated in Germany, Denmark, Russia, Switzerland, Spain and Ireland. Three models were used in combination; the RAINS (Regional Acidification INformations and Simulation) model, the SAFE (Simulating Acidification in Forest Ecosystems) model and the MakeDep model. The scenarios used were based on results from international
