Brandprovning av aerosol- och gasolbehållare : en studie för MSB
This report summarizes the work in practically determining how frequently used aerosol- and propane containers are affected at fire exposure from flammable liquids. The tested aerosol- and propane containers were chosen due to common appearance in ordinary grocery- and hardware stores. The tested aerosol containers had a volume range between 15- 400 ml and the propane containers were filled with 0

Brandprovning av gasolflaskor : Med respektive utan tryckavlastning
The purpose of this work was to experimentally examine the importance of safety devices (pressure valve and melting fuse) on propane bottles for consumer use (5 – 6 kg propane). The bottles tested included construction types based on composite (PK5, two different types), aluminum (PA6), and steel (P6). Bottles were tested with and without safety devices. The tests were made as a comparative study.
Detecting Triads in a Swedish Juvenile Care Project
Developments in positive pressure ventilation
Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) has been used by the fire service for a number of years as a procedure to remove smoke and hot gases from a building on fire. PPV is a procedure where air is pushed into a building exposed to fire with the help of fans, consequently pushing hot air and smoke out of the building. This paper summarizes a large number of studies on PPV, draws conclusions from these
Quantifying efficiency in fire fighting operations
There is a great need to quantify the efficient use of resources during fire fighting operations. When addressing this problem, the focus should be on the results of such operations. This paper describes a number of approaches for quantifying fire fighting operations. Also, it identifies and discusses a number of aspects that has to be considered during such work, including inherent complexity, me

Rosiglitazone drives cavin-2/SDPR expression in adipocytes in a CEBPα-dependent manner
Caveolae are abundant adipocyte surface domains involved in insulin signaling, membrane trafficking and lipid homeostasis. Transcriptional control mechanisms for caveolins and cavins, the building blocks of caveolae, are thus arguably important for adipocyte biology and studies in this area may give insight into insulin resistance and diabetes. Here we addressed the hypothesis that one of the less
Investigating positive pressure ventilation
Positive pressure ventilation was investigated. Forty-three experiments were performed on the first, second, and third floors of a three-storey brick building with wooden trusses. The objectives of the experiments were to investigate the effects of distance between fan and inlet, size and numbers of outlets, and volume of building on vent flow rates when using positive pressure ventilation. Four d
Radiotherapy, especially at young age, increases the risk for de novo brain tumors in patients treated for pituitary/sellar lesions
Context: De novo brain tumors developing after treatment of pituitary/sellar lesions have been reported, but it is unknown whether this is linked to any of the treatment modalities. Objective: To study the occurrence of malignant brain tumors and meningiomas in a large cohort of patients treated for pituitary/sellar lesions, with special emphasis on the role of radiotherapy (RT). Patients and Meth
Spatiotemporal historical datasets at micro-level for geocoded individuals in five Swedish parishes, 1813–1914
This paper presents datasets that enable historical longitudinal studies of micro-level geographic factors in a rural setting. These types of datasets are new, as historical demography studies have generally failed to properly include the micro-level geographic factors. Our datasets describe the geography over five Swedish rural parishes, and by linking them to a longitudinal demographic database,
Tactical patterns and their implications on fire fighting operations
Three different experimental series on tactical patterns were presented and the results were summarized, discussed and conclusions were drawn. In order to attain an efficient fire and rescue service, it is of vital importance that the effect of the work performed in relation to accidents and incidents are thoroughly investigated. For the purpose of investigating effect of various procedures, a tac

Determining bacteriophage endopeptidase activity using either fluorophore-quencher labeled peptides combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) or Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays
The necessity of identifying novel methods to combat infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria is increasing each year. Recent advancements in the development of peptidoglycan hydrolases (e.g. lysins) from bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) have revealed the efficiency of this class of enzymes in treating serious bacterial infections. Though promising results have been obtained regarding
Preeclampsia associates with asthma, allergy, and eczema in childhood
Rationale: Preeclampsia reflects an unusual increase in systemic inflammation during pregnancy. Objectives: We studied associations between preeclampsia and asthma, allergy, and eczema in Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2000 (COPSAC2000) and in national registries. Methods: COPSAC2000 is a high-risk birth cohort of 411 Danish children. Asthma, allergy, and eczema were diagnose
