2. 1. Systemic lupus erythematosus : pathogenesis and genetics with special reference to multicase families

   Author : Gerður Gröndal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : SLE; autoimmune disorders; IL- 10; apoptosis; genetics; multicase families.;

   Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prototype for systemic autoimmune disease. The etiology is largely unknown although valuable knowledge has been accomplished through intensive research in this field in recent years. READ MORE

4. 2. The rheumatoid forefoot : surgical treatment and epidemiological aspects

   Author : Lollo Gröndal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Rheumatoid forefoot surgery - Arthrodesis of MTP 1 - Arthrodesis versus resection in MTP 1 - Rheumatoid forefoot prevalence - load distribution and time-and distance parameters in rheumatoid arthritis;

   Abstract : Background: The forefoot is frequently involved in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) resulting in a painful, handicapping deformity. The prevalence stated has long been based on a study from 1956. READ MORE

5. 3. Unpacking Rational Use of Antibiotics : Policy in Medical Practice and the Medical Debate

   Author : Hedvig Gröndal; Tora Holmberg; Ericka Johnson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Antibiotics; Policy; Medical Sociology; Actor-Network Theory; Human-microbial relations; Antimicrobial Resistance; Everyday Infections; Material semiotics; Medical sociology; Medical objects; Medical technologies; Medical knowledge; Sociologi; Sociology;

   Abstract : Rational use of antibiotics–using antibiotics only when needed and in the right way–is a prioritized goal in policy aimed at preventing antimicrobial resistance. A vast body of research is devoted to understanding why unnecessary antibiotics are prescribed. READ MORE

6. 4. Shear cracks in concrete structures subjected to in-plane stresses

   Author : Richard Malm; Håkan Sundquist; Kent Gylltoft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Shear; plane state stress; crack width; FE analysis; design standards; serviceability state; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : After only two years of service, extensive cracking was found in the webs of two light-rail commuter line bridges in Stockholm, the Gröndal and Alvik bridges. Due to this incident it was found necessary to study the means available for analysing shear cracking in concrete structures subjected to in-plane stresses. READ MORE

7. 5. Predicting shear type crack initiation and growth in concrete with non-linear finite element method

   Author : Richard Malm; Håkan Sundquist; Anders Ansell; Kent Gylltoft; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; non-linear finte element analysis; concrete; crack width; crack propagation; shear; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract :   In this thesis, the possibility to numerically describing the behaviour that signifies shear type cracking in concrete is studied. Different means for describing cracking are evaluated where both methods proposed in design codes based on experiments and advanced finite element analyses with a non-linear material description are evaluated.
