Popular Abstract in Swedish Skador på kroppens ligament och senor är vanliga och medför, förutom mycket lidande för den drabbade, ett stort samhällsekonomiskt problem. Speciellt stora problem orsakar korsbandsskador i knäleden och böjsenskador inom fingrarnas senskideområde. Både ligament och senor är uppbyggda av extracellulärt matrix som består framför allt av kollagen men dessutom av icke-kollaThe poor healing capacity of the anterior cruciate ligament and the development of postoperative adhesions, restricting tendon gliding, are two important clinical problems regarding different, although related, aspects of posttraumatic connective tissue reactions. The aim of this study was to gain more knowledge about the process of ligament and tendon healing at the cell and molecular levels and

Partially premixed combustion (PPC) is a combustion concept with similarities to both Diesel and Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion. It provides a combustion mode with better controllability than HCCI without increasing the emissions of nitrogen oxides and soot to the level of traditional Diesel engines. The model described in this paper aims to describe the main features of

Lärlingsutbildningen väcker allt större intresse både i Sverige och i andra europeiska länder. I boken fokuseras svenska erfarenheter och initiativ på lärlingsutbildningsområdet mot bakgrund av forskning på området och erfarenheter av lärlingsutbildning i Danmark, Norge, Nederländerna, England och Tyskland. Boken utgår från följande huvudfråga: vilka är förutsättningar för att etablera en omfattan

In optically controlled quantum computers it may be favorable to address different qubits using light with different frequencies, since the optical diffraction does not then limit the distance between qubits. Using qubits that are close to each other enables qubit-qubit interactions and gate operations that are strong and fast in comparison to qubit-environment interactions and decoherence rates.

Polygenic effects have more than one cause. They testify to the fact that several causal contributors are sometimes simultaneously involved in causation. The importance of polygenic causation was noticed early on by Mill (1893). It has since been shown to be a problem for causal-law approaches to causation and accounts of causation cast in terms of capacities. However, polygenic causation needs to

As a pre study for future work the output from a regular plane solid 2-dimensional finite element was compared with the output from a solid 2-dimensional axisymmetric finite element. It was done by creating a very simple finite element model for the heat convection problem. The purpose was to compare the results from a heat convection analysis. The model can be used directly for the mass diffusion

Circadian variation in atrial fibrillation (AF) frequency is explored in this paper by employing recent advances in signal processing. Once the AF frequency has been estimated and tracked by a hidden Markov model approach, the resulting trend is analyzed for the purpose of detecting and characterizing the presence of circadian variation. With cosinor analysis, the results show that the shortterm v
