Globally, chronic pain, defined as pain that persists after three months, is a leading cause of lasting suffering and disability. If pain is not timely diagnosed and adequately treated it can become a chronic condition. LÄS MER
2. Endothelin and nitric oxide in the fetoplacental circulation
Sammanfattning : Background: Normal fetal growth and development depend on a satisfactory uteroplacental and fetoplacental blood flow. This will ensure an adequate gaseous exchange and nutritional supply to the fetus. LÄS MER
3. Volatile organic compounds from microorganisms : identification and health effects
Sammanfattning : Damp building materials are subjected to degradation processes due to moisture and also microbial growth, with both of these giving rise to emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may contribute to indoor air health problems. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate emissions of reactive and non-reactive VOCs from damp building materials and from the microorganisms growing on them, and also to investigate the possible health impact of these compounds.

5. Matrix Suction in Silt and Sand Slopes. Significance and Practical Use in Stability Analysis
Sammanfattning : Conventional stability analysis in unsaturated silt and sand slopes often results in unrealistically low factors of safety. The purpose of the study was to increase the knowledge and the understanding of the unsaturated zone and its matrix suction in order to facilitate more elaborate stability analyses of silt and sand slopes.
