Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Varje nervskada, oavsett orsak, utgör ett stort problem för den drabbade individen och slutresultatet är i regel dåligt. Personerna som drabbas av nervskador är ofta i arbetsför ålder. Rehabilitering efter en nervskada medför vanligtvis lång sjukskrivning och ibland måste patienten skolas om till ett nytt yrke. Detta innebär stora kostnader för både individen The effect of short time vibration exposure and tourniquet compression on nerve regeneration in rats was studied with special reference to cell activation. One of the hindlimbs was conditioned by either vibration exposure (5 hours / day - 5 consecutive days) or compression (150-300 mmHg for 30-120 minutes), which was followed by a recovery period of 0-7 days. Test crush lesions or a transplantatio

New methods and products must be developed to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, to reduce global warming. In this work, methods of extracting and isolating hemi¬celluloses from agricultural and forestry waste streams have been studied. Hemi¬celluloses are biodegradable polymers that can replace fossil-fuel-based products for use in various applications, such as barrier films and hydrogels. Ar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Samhällets stöd, service och vård till människor med psykiska funktionshinder har under de senaste decennierna genomgått stora förändringar. Det har skett en övergång från slutna till samhällsbaserade öppna vårdformer. De kraftiga nedskärningarna av den sjukhusbaserade psykiatriska vården har emellertid långt ifrån alltid ersatts med ett heltäckande och fungerande vård-All clients admitted to ten pilot case management services for individuals with severe mental illness during 1995 and up to 1996-09-30 were invited to participate in the present study. A total of 176 clients were included. The clients were in all services assessed at admission and at an 18 months follow-up with regard to needs of care, psychosocial functioning. Use of health care and social servic

This paper presents some functional differences as well as similarities observed when comparing the newly discovered cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Trametes Villosa (T.v) with the well-characterized one from Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P.c.). The enzymes were physically adsorbed on spectrographic graphite electrodes placed in an amperometric flow through cell connected to a flow system. In t

Mouse anticoagulant protein C (461 residues) shares 69% sequence identity with its human ortholog. Interspecies experiments suggest that there is an incompatibility between mouse and human protein C, such that human protein C does not function efficiently in mouse plasma, nor does mouse protein C function efficiently in human plasma. Previously, we described a series of human activated protein C (

Kriget i Bosnien och Hercegovina tog slut för 15 år sedan. Daytonavtalet reglerar villkoren för fredsbyggandet i landet. Annex 4 i Daytonavtalet består av Bosniens konstitution. Konstitutionen innefattar flera aspekter av maktdelning mellan de tre konstituerande folken, bosniaker, kroater och serber. Bosnien är således en stat som styrs enligt en konsociationell modell. Daytonavtalet utser en hög The war in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended 15 years ago. The General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, commonly known as the Dayton Peace Agreement, stipulates the conditions for the peacebuilding process in the country. Annex 4 of the Dayton Peace Agreement comprises the constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The constitution includes several aspects of power sharing among th

OBJECTIVE: Products enriched with oat beta-glucan have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose and insulinemic responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an extruded muesli product based on oat beta-glucan on the rate of gastric emptying, postprandial blood glucose and satiety in healthy subjects. METHODS: Gastric emptying rate (GER) was measured by standardized real-time ult

The implementation of gender fair language is often associated with negative reactions and hostile attacks on people who propose a change. This was also the case in Sweden in 2012 when a third gender-neutral pronoun hen was proposed as an addition to the already existing Swedish pronouns for she (hon) and he (han). The pronoun hen can be used both generically, when gender is unknown or irrelevant,

Psychologists have until lately been rather likeminded when it comes to how the human brain is interpreting and processing different types of information. We react in certain ways when exposed to certain information but considering those reactions stem from experiments mainly conducted on Americans is not something that is considered to be of importance. Whereas these statements tend to hold true

With the diminishing reserves of oil and the growing public concern for environmental issues, the end of gasoline powered vehicles is getting closer each year. To prevent this from causing the personal and comfortable way of transportation mankind has gotten used to, to die with them, an alternative without the downsides of the gasoline engine must be developed. The environmentally friendly electr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mot en sammanhållen och hållbar biomassapolitik: En studie av europeisk biomassa-för-energi-planering Biomassa används för många ändamål. När den används som biobränsle för att producera energi utgör den en förnybar energikälla med många fördelar, bl. a. i form av minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser och en ökad trygghet i energiförsörjningen. Men biomassa är även en råvaCoordination of policies embracing biomass use has been called for in order to speed up progress towards the European Union renewable energy and climate change goals. Policy coordination and coherence is also required if the many complex and diverse issues constraining sustainable bioenergy development are to be addressed. To contribute to meeting such needs this doctoral thesis provides insights

Objective : To measure the extent to which health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people living with HIV is associated with duration of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after controlling for sociodemographic, clinical, and other therapy-related factors. Design : Cross-sectional analysis. Methods : A gender-stratified random sample of 421 participants aged 18-64 years was selected from the patients

We discuss new diffractive mechanism of central exclusive production of W+W- pairs in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. We include diagrams with intermediate virtual Higgs boson as well as quark box diagrams. Several observables related to this process are calculated. Predictions for the total cross section and differential distributions in W-boson rapidity and transverse momentum as well as WW

We documented the annual cycle of the carbon isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) in the water columns of the Skagerrak and Baltic Sea to obtain an increased understanding of the processes involved controlling the carbon isotopic distribution in shelf seas. The lowest δ13CDIC values (-4.9‰) were found in the low-oxygen, brackish Baltic bottom water whereas the highest value

The current expansion of mergers and acquisitions forces new postmerged organizational cultures to take form, and requires solid strategies for handling that procedure. Research indicate that at least half of all mergers fail in creating expected synergies, and that the reason for failing is assumed integration issues such as culture clashes. Creating a strong organizational culture is often appoi
