Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the 20m multistage shuttle run test (MST) for elite ice hockey players as a predictor of the maximal aerobic capacity and the how the result is affected by the players age, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, body composition and test surface. The purpose of this was to find out the potential of the 20-m shuttle run test as a measuringtool for the maximal aerobic capacity in frequent testing periods during the season. It is very interesting to be able to administer this easily because the competative phase of the season is very long compared to the pre-seasonal phase and earlier studies have shown that the aerobic capacity is being lowered during this competative phase of the season for elite icehockey players.Methods: 34 elite ice hockey players participated in this study (20.0±3.6 yrs, BMI 24.2±1.6 and VO2-max 58.0±4.8 ml O2?kg-1?min-1). During 3-5 days they underwent 2 MST tests (wood and rubber surface), treadmill running with VO2-max assessed with open-circuit technique, Wingate10% and FFM-assessment with underwater-technique.

Ticks and the diseases they transmit are of major importance throughout the world. In Uganda, cattle are the most important livestock from an economic point of view. Livestock keepers fear bi-directional transmission of tick-borne pathogens between their livestock and wild animals. This cross-sectional study was conducted to establish and compare the sero-prevalence of the tick-borne pathogen Babesia bigemina among randomly selected Ankole Long-horned cattle and European crossbred cattle on 30 farms in Kiruhura district, in two sub-counties near Lake Mburo National Park in South-western Uganda. Half of the farms were situated in close proximity to the park and thereby housed cattle with more frequent wildlife-livestock interface (Sanga), whereas the other half had less frequent contact (Kikatsi).

Syfte: Syftet med denna systematiska ?versiktsartikel ?r att unders?ka om spirulinaintag har en effekt p? blodlipidniv?er hos vuxna m?nniskor, oavsett h?lsostatus. Metod: En systematisk litteraturs?kning utf?rdes i databaserna Scopus och PubMed. S?kningen organiserades enligt tre block: ett spirulinablock, ett lipidblock och ett RCT-block. Inklusionskriterierna var: studier p? vuxna m?nniskor, med spirulina som interventionsbehandling och placebo som kontrollbehandling; studier publicerade 2018 eller senare, p? svenska eller engelska, som unders?ker effektm?tten HDL-, LDL-, totalkolesterol och triglycerider; samt interventionsduration om minst ?tta veckor.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most commonly diagnosed cardiac disease in cats. The phenotype varies from mild focal thickening to severe concentric hypertrophy at the left ventricle. Two separate myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) mutations have been identified in Maine coon cats (A31P and A74T) and one in Ragdoll cats. All three of them seem to cause familial HCM in an autosomal dominant pattern. The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of these three mutations in population cats of different breeds with HCM in Sweden. The results may show if HCM is present in the absence of these mutations.

The Mobile phone has contributed to massive changes in the way that human beings communicate with each other and is a part of society?s globalization. Opinions differ in the area of user interface where some feel that mobile phones exclude users such as senior citizens or users with an intellectual or a physical disability.Universal Design ??design for all?, is a vision that intends to bring about settings, products and services that suits as many people as possible irrespective of an individual?s needs and prospects. The criteria for ?design for all? are among other things flexibility, user friendliness, comprehensibility and a high tolerance for mistakes.The purpose of this essay was to investigate the mobile phones graphic user-interface from the theory of a universal design.

Dental implants that are integrated into the jaw bones are widely used to replace lost teeth in human beings. Tooth-loss is often related to loss of the surrounding alveolar bone. This can make implant placement difficult and a bone substituting material may be required. The standard method is to use a bone graft harvested from the patient which requires additional surgery than that needed for implant placement. Limitations in the amount of bone that can be harvested also pose a problem.

I kursplanen för Svenska B står att läsa att eleven ska ?ha tillägnat sig och ha kunskap om centrala svenska, nordiska och internationella verk och ha stiftat bekantskap med författarskap från olika tider och epoker? (Skolverket.se). Harold Bloom, författaren till Den västerländska kanon beskrev 1994 sin oro över vårt litterära förfall med orden ?Skuggorna blir allt längre i vårt aftonland och vi närmar oss det tredje årtusendet beredda på ytterligare mörker? (1994:28)Det finns med andra ord idag en motsättning mellan vad man som elev bör läsa och vad man som elev kanske vill läsa. Dilemmat tycks vara att många elevers uppfattning om en klassiker idag är ?tråkiga, svårlästa och föga inspirerande? (Bäcklund & Eriksson 2008:4).  I och med det senaste decenniets vampyrvåg har dock serier som Twilight och True Blood brutit ny mark hos ungdomar som tidigare inte hyst läsintresse.
