More than three decades ago, Thomas Alerstam initiated the study of orientation and navigation of migratory songbirds in southern Sweden. Stensoffa Ecological Field Station, located approx. 20 km east of Lund, has since been a primary location for orientation experiments. However, it has often been difficult to record well-oriented behaviour in the seasonal appropriate migratory directions, in par
OBJECTIVE:: This study investigates the hypoperfusion effects of epinephrine in local anesthesia in eyelid surgery. A novel form of extended-wavelength diffuse reflectance spectroscopy was evaluated. METHODS:: Blood perfusion in porcine eyelid flaps was measured using laser Doppler velocimetry and laser speckle contrast imaging, whereas the tissue response was measured using diffuse reflectance sp
A series of phosphorylated test peptides was studied by electron capture dissociation Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ECD FT-ICR MS). The extensive ECD-induced fragmentation made identification of phosphorylation sites for these peptides straightforward. The site(s) of initial phosphorylation of a synthetic peptide with a sequence identical to that of the phosphorylati
Ferritin heavy chain (FTH1) is a 21-kDa subunit of the ferritin complex, known for its role in iron metabolism, and which has recently been identified as a favorable prognostic protein for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Currently, it is not well understood how FTH1 contributes to an anti-tumor response. Here, we explored whether expression and cellular compartmentalization of FTH1
A search has been made for supersymmetry in a final state containing two photons and missing transverse momentum using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search makes use of 3.2fb-1 of proton-proton collision data collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV in 2015. Using a combination of data-driven and Monte-Carlo-based approaches, the Standard Model background is estimated
The results of a search for the top squark, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in final states with one isolated electron or muon, jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses the 2015 LHC pp collision data at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb-1. The analysis targets two types
Continuous exposure of DDT1 MF-2 smooth muscle cells to 10-100 μM norepinephrine results in a dramatic attenuation of the ability of norepinephrine to stimulate inositol phospholipid hydrolysis via α1-adrenergic receptors (α1-AR). In addition to the functional desensitization, norepinephrine exposure also reduces the number of accessible cell surface α1-AR as assayed by [3H]prazosin binding at 4°
Placenta protein 14 (PP14), which is the most abundant product of the secretory endometrium, has been proposed as the best biochemical marker of endometrial function in women. In this study, 19 normogonadotrophic women of infertile couples were monitored with serial measurements of concentrations of PP14, gonadotrophins and sex steroids and ultrasound scanning of endometrial thickness throughout t
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mode of delivery and birth outcomes in relation to the duration of the passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women. METHODS AND FINDINGS: A retrospective cohort study of all nulliparous women (n = 1131) at two delivery units in Sweden. Maternal and obstetric data were obtained from electronic medical records during 2019. The passive second stage was defined as

Background Several pressing issues face municipal planners including increased land use and climate change. Managing these issues requires a balance between different actions to accommodate citizen’s demands of ecosystem services (ES) and development projects. The implementation of ES as a new tool for assessments needs to be contrasted by research considering existing tools such as Environmental
This Theoretical Foundations Report has been developed for UNDP’s Conscious Food Systems Alliance (CoFSA). It demonstrates the need for increased policy attention to the neglected inner dimension of sustainability to address today’s sustainability crises. In addition, it provides an overview of current research and evidence for the potential of consciousness approaches and practices to complement
Human Capital is deemed as an imperative factor for economic growth, however, it is argued the extent of this interrelation. Acemoglu, Gallego and Robinson (2014) claim that the institutional framework of a nation, in specificthose of private property are deemed as pivotal for a nation’s development. In this sense, in order to contectualise this argument, the current thesis focuses on the case of
Det internationella skattesamarbetet har under en längre tid definierats av en vilja att motarbeta dubbelbeskattning av enskilda skattebetalare. Det främsta sättet på vilket detta har tagit uttryck är de många bilaterala skatteavtalen som finns mellan olika stater idag. I ett sådant avtal regleras beskattningen av en gränsöverskridande transaktion eller affärsverksamhet mellan de två avtalsslutandThe international tax law system has for a long time been defined by its prevention of double taxation of the taxpayers. The main way in which this work has been undertaken has been the many bilateral tax agreements that exist between states today. These agreements regulate the taxation rights between two states in a case of a cross-border transaction or arrangement. In that way it is possible for
Influencers i sig själva utgör personliga varumärken, inbegripet personnamn, image, koncept på sociala medier, utseende m.m. Vidare innebär yrket ofta att influencers mot ersättning marknadsför näringsidkares produkter eller tjänster på sina sociala medier. Näringsidkare använder sig således av influencers varumärke samt den redan etablerade relationen som finns mellan influencers och deras följarInfluencers as individuals can be viewed as personal trademarks, which includes name, image, layout on social media, appearance etc. Furthermore, the profession often includes that influencers for remuneration markets companies’ products or services on their social media channels. By doing so, the companies utilize the already established relationship between the influencer and his/her followers.
Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved
I Marks & Spencer-domen slog EU-domstolen fast att det strider mot etableringsfriheten att inte tillåta gränsöverskridande förlustavdrag när förlusterna inte kan utnyttjas i det utländska dotterbolagets hemviststat, det vill säga när förlusterna är så kallade slutliga. Nyligen lämnade EU-domstolen förhandsavgöranden i de två svenska målen Holmen och Memira där Marks & Spencer-principen bekIn the Marks & Spencer judgment, the European Court of Justice ruled that it is against the freedom of establishment not to allow a parent company to deduct losses incurred by its non-resident subsidiary from its taxable profits, when the losses cannot be utilized in the foreign subsidiary’s state of resident. Recently, the European Court of Justice gave preliminary rulings in the two Swedish
