Starch granules are an interesting stabilizer candidate for food-grade Pickering emulsions. The stabilizing capacity of seven different intact starch granules for making oil-in-water emulsions has been the topic of this screening study. The starches were from quinoa; rice; maize; waxy varieties of rice, maize, and barley; and high-amylose maize. The starches were studied in their native state, hea

Klimatfrågan är ett ämne som många människor pratar om. De senaste årtiondena har klimatfrågan ökat i samband med ökade utsläpp. Effekterna av utsläppen är tydliga i form av höjda vattennivåer, värmeböljor, extremväder och skyfall för att nämna några. Vad människor gör åt saken beror mycket på hur medvetna människor är om klimatförändringarna. Vissa personer märker inte av klimatförändringarna medClimate change is an important topic for a lot of people and the usage of art to draw attention towards the issue is not a novel idea. Each art piece has had a different approach to, not only increase awareness but to also portray climate change. The expressions vary depending on who made the art piece, the context of its creation and similar parameters. Globally, this has been done since at least

BACKGROUND: Nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) are recommended as part of first-line treatment for HIV-1 in Africa. However, NNRTI-based regimens are more prone to resistance development than protease inhibitors (PIs) in a context in which drug interruptions are frequent. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of NNRTIs with PIs in HIV-1-infected pa

In the current study we evaluated the structure of positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET/CT) diagnostics in the Russian Federation. Patient effective doses, organ doses and corresponding radiation risks for the most common PET/CT examinations were evaluated. Data was collected in 12 regions of the Russian Federation in the period 2012-2017 in 19 facilities (26 PET/CT

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) impacts many veterans and active duty soldiers, but diagnosis can be problematic due to biases in self-disclosure of symptoms, stigma within military populations, and limitations identifying those at risk. Prior studies suggest that PTSD may be a systemic illness, affecting not just the brain, but the entire body. Therefore, disease signals likely span multipl

Objective: In Sweden complications after radical cystectomy have been reported to the nationwide population-based Swedish Cystectomy Registry since 2011. Here, validation of the reporting was assessed in two healthcare regions. Materials and methods: Complications were ascertained from patient records by a third party not involved in the care delivered to 429 randomly selected patients from 949 wh

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a large group of pollutants that, over the last decade have been of great academic concern since it has been found all around the globe. PFAS is ubiquitous in our environment and frequently found in low background concentrations in soil and water; recent research has also found that PFAS occur in biotic samples, such as fish and plants. This literature

BACKGROUND: To evaluate potential sex differences, this study aimed to investigate blood pressure and lipid control and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease in treated hypertensive (tHT) patients from primary healthcare. DESIGN AND METHODS: This cross-sectional survey of tHT patients was carried out between 2002 and 2005 by 264 primary care physicians from Sweden who consecutively recruit

Awareness of sustainability-related issues within the fashion industry has increased. Fast fashion is specifically criticized for its negative impacts on the environment and society. Due to this, several fast fashion companies are trying to position themselves as more sustainable. However, fast fashion and sustainability are often considered paradoxical. The purpose of this study is to investigate

I samhällsdebatten har åsikter om en mer effektiv brottsbekämpning växt fram på den senaste tiden. Debatten har utmynnat i flertalet offentliga utredningar som presenterar potentiella lagändringar. Förslagen innebär att en avvägning måste göras mellan effektiv brottsbekämpning och rättssäkerhet, eftersom dessa medför en stor risk att individens rättigheter inskränks. Syftet med uppsatsen är att bIn the public debate, opinions about more effective law enforcement have emerged in recent years. The debate has resulted in public investigations that present potential changes to the law. The proposals imply that a balance must be struck between effective law enforcement and the rule of law, as the proposals entails a great risk for the rights of the individual to be restricted. The purpose of

Fermentation is a technique which has been employed for the preservation of food since time immemorial.

The mechanism(s) behind the larger relative increase of Plasma beta 2 microglobulin (P-beta 2m) than that of Plasma albumin (P-alb) during Cuprophan hemodialysis is disputed. To elucidate this phenomenon P-alb, P-beta 2m (MW 11,800) and Plasma cystatin (P-cC; MW 13,000) an inhibitor of cystein proteinases, were determined before and after a Cuprophan or polysulphone hemodialysis (4-7 hr, QB 200 ml
