Introduction: Misoprostol (Cytotec) was primarily made for treating gastric ulcers. However today it is mostly used for abortion, treating postpartum hemorrhage, and for induction of labor. The tablet contains 200 µg of misoprostol, yet the dosages used for induction of labor are much smaller (25–50 µg), leading to uncertainty of dosage in daily use. Aim: To evaluate and compare the relative bioav
Interactions between cortical areas were studied during the search for verbal associations and reading of words. The functional anatomy and the sequence of involvement of cortical areas during the solution of these tasks have been described previously, in studies using positron emission tomography and multichannel recordings of evoked potentials combined with identification of the locations of dip
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Malmö ur ett mandelblomsperspektiv. Tänk dig att du är en mandelblom på en äng någonstans i trakterna kring Malmö. I början av Maj år 1802 kryper du upp ur jorden och känner solens strålar mot dina blad. Du sätter blommor, du får frön som av en vindpust förs iväg och landar i en hage inte så långt bort. Nu låtsas vi att ditt frö inte gror, utan det ligger kvar iBiodiversity preservation has a high priority in nature conservation on a global, regional and local scale. The rate at which species are extinct today is very high and this is to a large extent a consequence of human influence on the earth’s ecosystems. The decreasing biodiversity in Sweden is mainly an effect of the landscape becoming more fragmented. GIS is generally considered as an effective
Abstract Authors: Sebastian Jerneck & Johan Krantz Title: Where are youths placed by social workers? - What criteria will the social secretary take into account in the placement process? Supervisor: Max Koch Assessor: Johan Cronehed This thesis examines which conditions influence social workers' placements of youths. We interviewed seven social workers in four adminstrative regions. Our r
Problem area Alfa Laval is a world leading company in the heat transfers area and have the vision to continue to be that in the future as well. The company has a lot of press lines where the utilization is high and also has started to become old. Prognosis shows that there is an increased demand of heat exchanger in the future. This increased demand is not something that existing lines will manag
Endotoxin was measured in air and dust samples collected during four commercial aircraft flights. Samples were analyzed for endotoxin biological activity using the Limulus assay. 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH FA) of carbon chain lengths C10:0-C18:0 were determined in dust by gas chromatography-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. The geometric mean (geometric standard deviation) endotoxin air level wa
The adsorption of modified polyacrylamides (PAM) at the silica surface has been studied by ellipsometry. To study the influence of the type of modification of the polyacrylamide on the adsorption behaviour, we have used cationic, anionic and hydrophobically modified polyacrylamides with varying charge density and degree of hydrophobisation. The adsorbed amount and adsorbed layer thickness were obt
Popular Abstract in Swedish Läkemedelsrelaterade problem hos äldre - Interventioner för att förbättra läkemedelsbehandlingen Läkare inom primärvården står för en stor del av den totala läkemedelsförskrivningen i Sverige och är en viktig målgrupp för läkemedelsindustrins information. Det har i flera uppmärksammade studier från Socialstyrelsen uppmärksammats att läkemedelsbehandlingen för patientIntroduction: Elderly people, in particular those residing in nursing homes, often use many drugs. In general elderly patients are at greater risk of experiencing drug-related problems (DRP), as they have multiple diseases, are using many drugs and have changed physiological status. Objectives: To describe the frequency of potential drug-related problems in the elderly and to evaluate different k
Popular Abstract in Swedish Efter diskoteksbranden i Göteborg 1998, då 63 ungdomar dog och långt fler skadades, öppnades över 100 krisgrupper och krisjourer av stadsdelsförvaltningar, sjukhus och frivilligorganisationer. Avhandlingen bygger på intervjuer med 21 drabbade och 29 företrädare för olika krisgrupper. De drabbade fick av krisgrupperna praktisk hjälp och stöd t.ex. när de anhöriga skulle
This thesis discusses the surprising evolvement of public health onto the EU agenda. The overall research aim is to investigate and develop potential explanations for the process of public health policy making in the European Union. By using Multilevel- Governance, Agenda-setting theory and Policy Networks, this thesis develops a theoretical framework for the research in question. Case study desig
The purpose of the study is to investigate the growing trend in consumers to go back to basic lifestyle and to reveal how different events, meanings, experiences and ideas have a role to play in this change in consumers’ attitude. The paper aims to understand this new rising trend and consumer interest and provide a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon. The study focuses on barefoot / minimal
Digital 3D city models are used in many GIS applications, such as urban planning. Manual digitization of 3D buildings is rather tedious, hence automated approaches are much preferred. In this study, a pipeline for automated extraction and estimation of building roof facets from LIDAR data are devised based on available methods and ideas, which is part of the entire frame work of automatic creating
Popular Abstract in Swedish Potatis har varit, och är fortfarande ett viktigt baslivsmedel i svensk kosthållning. Det finns många sorter med olika egenskaper vilket bidrar till dess variationsrikedom. Potatisen är en rik källa till stärkelse, kostfibrer samt vitaminer och mineraler, t ex C-vitamin och järn. En invändning mot potatis ur nutritionell synvinkel är att stärkelsen lätt bryts ned av enzDespite decreased consumption potatoes still constitute an important staple in the Swedish diet. An objection to potatoes and potato products from a nutritional point of view is the ease by which the starch is digested and absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. This results in unfavourably high glycaemic and insulinaemic responses (glycaemic index, GI and insulinaemic index, II, respectively). Su
Background and Aims: Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is characterized by a persistent pattern of failure to control sexual impulses, resulting in repetitive sexual behavior over a prolonged period that causes marked discomfort in personal, family, social, school, work or in other functional areas. The evolution of the worldwide incidence of this disorder warrants further studies focused on examin
In 2020, many in-person scientific events were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creating a vacuum in networking and knowledge exchange between scientists. To fill this void in scientific communication, a group of early career nanocrystal enthusiasts launched the virtual seminar series, News in Nanocrystals, in the summer of 2020. By the end of the year, the series had attracted over 850 part
Recent research has revealed that interdisciplinary work combining archaeological and heritage practice continues to be limited by enduring assumptions separating the two fields. Traditional structures and institutional barriers make it difficult to break away from what is expected in order to explore what is possible in what archaeologists and heritage practitioners ‘do’. Though archaeologists pl
The pre-dispute phase, during which justiciable problems may or may not emerge and transform into legal cases, is complex. Based on a meta-ethnography of 572 articles, all of which apply or refer to Felstiner et al.’s pioneering linear framework of naming, blaming, and claiming, we analysed the many sorting mechanisms that are at play in the pre-dispute phase. We identified the institutional, poli
Photovoice is an increasingly popular research method across disciplines due to its flexibility and capacity for generating rich data. This article argues that while its practical virtues are abundant, the theoretical contributions of photovoice to qualitative research are just as important. We argue that photographs can act as boundary objects that enable collective sensemaking at multiple stages
