2. 1. Locating Inter-Scandinavian Silent Film Culture : Connections, Contentions, Configurations

   Author : Anne Bachmann; Jan Olsson; Mark Sandberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; film history; silent film; Scandinavia; transnational film; film discourse; location; censorship; film adaptation; Cinema Studies; filmvetenskap;

   Abstract : The thesis revisits film and film-culture history in Sweden, Denmark and Norway with a view to discourses and practices of the inter- and trans-Scandinavian in the silent era. Excluding the earliest films, but including the transition to synchronised sound, it covers the period of the 1900s to 1930 with emphasis on the 1910s and 1920s. READ MORE

4. 2. Prediction and Optimisation of Traffic Noise. A Study on Noise Barriers and Shielded Areas

   Author : Pontus Thorsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; city canyon; absorption; city noise; insertion loss; traffic noise; soundscape; silent side; noise barrier; ground impedance;

   Abstract : The main contribution of noise levels in cities is today road traffic. The strongest source for all road vehicles is most often the tyre-road contact. This source position close to the ground is fortunate with respect to secondary noise abatement measures, such as absorbing road surfaces or noise barriers. READ MORE

5. 3. Clinical, biochemical and morphological aspects of cervical ripening in the first trimester

   Author : Nina Vukas Radulovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : cervical ripening; misoprostol; nitric oxide; electron microscopy; miscarriage; IL-8; MMP-1; MMP-8; MMP-9;

   Abstract : Background: The uterine cervix has the ability to be transformed from being a rigid organ in non-pregnant women to become a loose structure that dilates and allows passage of the foetus at parturition. This process, cervical ripening, has been described similar to an inflammatory reaction of the extracellular matrix involving activation of inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases and breakdown of the collagen framework.

6. 4. Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with a mandibular advancement device

   Author : Marie E. Marklund; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Activator appliances; Advancement mandibular; Cephalometry; Long-term effect; Polysomnography; Sleep apnea syndromes; Snoring; Supine position;

   Abstract : Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, hypertension and an increased risk of early death.The aims of the present studies were to evaluate the short-term and longterm effects on sleep apnea and the tolerability of a one-piece, individually- designed mandibular advancement device.

7. 5. Aerothermal Investigation of an Intermediate Turbine Duct

   Author : Carlos Arroyo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; flowfield measurements; heat transfer measurements.; Intermediate turbine duct;

   Abstract : Intermediate turbine ducts are used to guide the flow in turbofan engines from the short-radius high-pressure turbine to the large-radius low-pressure turbine. The demand for more efficient and silent jet engines and with a reduced environmental impact requires turbofans with increasingly higher by-pass ratios. READ MORE
