Excited states of As-68 nucleus were populated through the C-12(Ni-58,pn) reaction and investigated by in-beam gamma-spectroscopic methods. The NORDBALL detector array equipped with charged particle and neutron detectors was used to detect the evaporated particles and gamma-rays. The level scheme of As-68 was constructed on the basis of gamma gamma-coincidence relations up to 6 MeV excitation ener
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer forms affecting many women. The disease nevertheless has widely varying behavior and therefore patient outcome, and an important undertaking is to define and understand the molecular mechanisms behind these actions. Defects in the G1/S transition in the cell cycle affect both tumor proliferation and the fidelity of check points responsible for chromos
Objectives - To describe demographics, injury characteristics and outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in northern Sweden over 10 years. Materials and methods - Data were retrospectively collected on those individuals (n = 332) in Norrbotten, northern Sweden, with a TBI who had been transferred for neurosurgical care from 1992 to 2001. Results - A majority were older men with a mild TBI and an
Popular Abstract in Swedish BLÅGRÖNALGERS VILOSTADIER—EN VIKTIG LÄNK TILL ALGBLOMNINGAR ALGBLOMNINGAR Algblomningar i Östersjön och i många av våra sydsvenska insjöar har blivit ett vanligt inslag sommartid. Vi vet att övergödning av våra vatten orsakar detta genom att överskottsnäring tillför's från olika mänskliga aktiviteter från land. Dock vet vi inte exakt vad det är som styr när och hur desCyanobacteria are known to form heavy blooms in eutrophicated freshwaters and also form resting stages, associated with the sediments, during harsh growth conditions. These resting stages can serve as inoculum for pelagic populations and function as a potential source for bloom formations. However, the factors involved in initiating recruitment from resting stage to the pelagic phase are not fully
The article is advancing the bio-kinetic hypothesis of string rotation. Demonstrated is a stepping function. This function shows that the discovered mechanism is working within single "AaO" units. By attaching a dot to the string, states of rotation can be marked and imaged in real time. In keeping track of the orientation of the dot, sliding over the domains (A, O) is demonstrated and the involve
International politics has been characterized as an American social science. This article traces the early development of the discipline in Sweden in the shadow of US hegemony. The advantages and disadvantages of the Swedish decision to keep International Relations (IR) within the broader discipline of Political Science are discussed. Recalling the early tensions between International Politics and
Yrast and yrare states in the nucleus Nb-89 have been studied in the reaction (Ni(Ar,5p)-Ni-58-Ar-36 by measuring gammagamma coincidences and directional correlation orientation ratios with the OSIRIS array. In addition, gamma-ray singles angular distributions have been taken with the reaction (Ni(Cl,4p)-Ni-58-Cl-35. Up to the highest spins observed (37/2+, 33/2-), the states identified line up wi
The recent success in restoring normoglycemia in type 1 diabetes by islet cell transplantation indicates that cell replacement therapy of this severe disease is achievable. However, the severe lack of donor islets has increased the demand for alternative sources of beta-cells, such as adult and embryonic stem cells. Here, we investigate the potential of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to differ
Human fetal brain is a potential source of neural stem cells (NSCs) for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative diseases. We explored whether NSCs isolated from cortex and striatum of human fetuses, aged 6-9 weeks post-conception, maintain their regional identity and differentiate into specific neuron types in culture and after intrastriatal transplantation in neonatal rats. We observed no d
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the imaging findings and staging of rectal carcinoma by using conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, MR imaging with an enema of superparamagnetic ferristene-based contrast material, and MR imaging with an enema of ferristene solution plus intravenous injection of gadodiamide. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-nine patients (17 women, 12 men; age range, 39-91 ye
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In Guinea-Bissau HIV-1, HIV-2, and HTLV-I are prevalent in the general population. The natural history of HIV/HTLV-I single and dual infections has not been fully elucidated in this population. Previous studies have shown that combinations of these infections are more common in older women than in men. The present study compares mortality associated with HIV-1, HIV-2, and HTL
Popular Abstract in Swedish Johan Olof Wallin (1779-1839) har främst genom sina psalmer haft stor betydelse för hur kristen tro och etik har uppfattats i svenskt kultur- och kyrkoliv. Inom tidigare forskning har diskuterats om Wallin är dygdetiker, moralist, neolog eller romantiker. Hans åskådning har kritiserats för att den ger människans handlande en enligt lutherskt synsätt alltför stor betydelThis study focusses on the question of the moral status of actions, a question subdivided into two further questions: 'What is held to characterize morally right action?' and 'What is a morally good life?' Texts by Johan Olof Wallin (1779-1839)-pastor, Archbishop in the Church of Sweden, hymn writer and poet-are analyzed in detail. The scope of the study is theological/ethical and its method is de
The process of an ultrahigh vacuum annealing of a diamond-like carbon film deposited on a silicon substrate has been studied in situ using a photoemission microscope mounted at the MAX-lab synchrotron's radiation source. After the annealing the film was examined ex situ using an atomic force microscope. It is revealed that the graphitization of the film occurs and round formations of several micro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier har visat att inte bara individer med diabetes utan ocksa de som har forstadier till diabetes, namligen forhojt fasteblodsocker och nedsatt glukostolerans, loper en okad risk for att drabbas av saval hjartkarlsjukdom som hjartsvikt. Daremot har man sett att den okade risken forenad med diabetes verkar minska med aldern. Studier pa aldre individer ar dock sparsamThe risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. As the majority of patients with diabetes, CVD and HF are elderly it is important to establish the extent to which the associations between these conditions diffe
Background: The goal of clinical computed tomography (CT) is to produce images of diagnostic quality using the lowest possible radiation exposure. Degradation of image quality, with increased image noise and reduced spatial resolution, is a major limitation for radiation dose reduction in CT. This can be counteracted with new post-processing image filters and iterative reconstruction (IR) algorith
The life cycle cost (LCC) of the heating, cooling and ventilation system was simulated for a typical cell office building, multi-family dwelling and detached house. Different ventilations systems were simulated resulting in different heating and cooling system designs. A health-related cost dependent on the airflow rate which was based on recent studies was added to the LCC for the dwellings as we
Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine disorders in dogs and is commonly proposed to be of autoimmune origin. Although the clinical presentation of human type 1 diabetes (T1D) and canine diabetes are similar, the aetiologies may differ. The aim of this study was to investigate if autoimmune aetiology resembling human T1D is as prevalent in dogs as previously reported.
