2. 1. Speed Choice : The Driver, the Road and Speed Limits

   Author : Mats Haglund; Nils Petter Gregersen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Driving behaviour; Speed choice; Risk estimates; Enforcement; Attitudes; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : Speed choice is one of the more characteristic features of driver behaviour. The speed a driver chooses to travel at determines the degree of difficulty he or she operates under. Higher speeds lead to more accidents, higher accident risk and more severe consequences of an accident. READ MORE

4. 2. Tick-borne encephalitis : prognosis, immunization and virus strain characterization

   Author : Mats Haglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : tick-borne encephalitis; tick-borne encephalitis virus; human; clinical picture; sequelae; virus characterization; phylogeny; vaccination; neutralization;

   Abstract : The aims were to investigate the morbidity associated with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) both in the acute phase and at long-term follow-up, to develop a rapid neutralization test for confirmation of TBEV-specific antibody response and to study the serological response after TBE-vaccination and, finally, to characterize Swedish human TBEV isolates. The morbidity was studied in one retrospective follow-up study of consecutive TBE-patients, treated during a 10-year period (Paper 1) and in one prospective study of TBE-patients with aseptic meningoencephalitis of non-TBE etiology as a reference group (Paper II).
