  2. 21. Environmental Factors in Relation to Asthma and Respiratory Symptoms among Schoolchildren in Sweden and Korea

    Author : Jeong-Lim Kim; Gunilla Wieslander; Dan Norbäck; Lena Elfman; Nils Åberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Allergen; allergy; asthma; dampness; diet; environment; formaldehyde; nitrogen dioxide; plasticizer; schoolchildren; ultrafine particles; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD;

    Abstract : This thesis studied environmental factors in relation to asthma and respiratory symptoms among schoolchildren in two countries. In Sweden, 1014 pupils (5-14 year) in 8 schools participated. Wheeze was reported by 7.8%, current asthma by 5. READ MORE

  4. 22. Men's Violence against Women – a Challenge in Antenatal Care

    Author : Kristina Stenson; Gun Heimer; Birgitta Sidenvall; Ingela Rådestad; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obstetrics and gynaecology; physical abuse; sexual abuse; prevalence; assessment; pregnancy; antenatal care; attitudes; nurse- midwife; public health practice; induced abortion; nurse-patient relation; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar; Obstetrics and women s diseases; Obstetrik och kvinnosjukdomar;

    Abstract : Men’s violence against women is a universal issue affecting health, human rights and gender-equality. In pregnancy, violence is a risk for both the mother and her unborn child. READ MORE

  5. 23. High Affinity Synthetic Molecular Binders for Proteins : Design, Synthesis and Evaluation

    Author : Xiaojiao Sun; Lars Baltzer; Thomas Norberg; Ulf Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polypeptide; conjugates; D-dimer; myeloperoxidase; chitinase;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the design and synthesis of small molecule derivatives and their polypeptide conjugates as high affinity binders for proteins: the D-dimer protein (D-dimer), a biomarker for diagnosis of thromboembolic diseases; human myeloperoxidase (MPO), a biomarker for cardiovascular diseases; and chitinases, potential targets for asthma therapy. The interactions between the synthetic binder molecules and those proteins were evaluated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor analysis and fluorescence spectroscopy. READ MORE

  6. 24. Caspase-dependent and caspase-independent neuronal injury in the developing brain

    Author : Changlian Zhu; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : hypoxia ischemia; neonatal; cell death; caspase; apoptosis-inducing factor; brain; apoptosis; autophagy; nitric oxide;

    Abstract : Aims: To investigate the mechanisms of neuronal cell death after hypoxia-ischemia in the developing brain.Methods: Rats or mice were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation plus hypoxia. Animals were sacrificed at certain time points after hypoxia-ischemia. READ MORE

  7. 25. WC grain growth during sintering of cemented carbides : Experiments and simulations

    Author : Karin Mannesson; John Ågren; Annika Borgenstam; Håkan Engqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cemented carbide; Grain growth; Abnormal grain growth; Image analysis; Modeling; 3-D grain size distribution; Inverse Saltykov; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Cemented carbides are composite materials consisting of a hard carbide and a ductile binder. They are powdermetallurgically manufactured, where liquid-phase sintering is one of the main steps. The most common cemented carbide consists of WC and Co and it is widely used for cutting tools.
