It is important that climate models can accurately simulate the terrestrial carbon cycle in the Arctic due to the large and potentially labile carbon stocks found in permafrost-affected environments, which can lead to a positive climate feedback, along with the possibility of future carbon sinks from northward expansion of vegetation under climate warming. Here we evaluate the simulation of tundra
Purpose: High plasma copeptin, a marker of vasopressin, predicts diabetes mellitus. We tested if copeptin could be suppressed by increased water intake in healthy individuals, and if a water-induced change in copeptin was accompanied by altered concentrations of glucose, insulin or glucagon. Methods: Thirty-nine healthy individuals underwent, in random order, 1 week of high water intake (3 L/day o
Background:Cancer rehabilitation is central for helping patients and relatives create a functional everyday life based on the changes in life conditions. The needs are highly individual and include physical, mental, and social challenges. Cancer rehabilitation programs offer coping strategies, including guidelines on how to handle emotions.Objective:This paper presents a participatory design activ
Although atmospheric 222radon (222Rn) activity concentration measurements are currently performed worldwide, they are being made by many different laboratories and with fundamentally different measurement principles, so compatibility issues can limit their utility for regional-to-global applications. Consequently, we conducted a European-wide 222Rn ∕ 222Rn progeny comparison study in order to eval
The relation between use of sunscreens, different host factors and malignant melanoma was investigated in a population-based, matched case-control study of malignant melanoma in the South Swedish Health Care Region, which has the highest risk for melanoma in Sweden, between 1 July 1988 and 30 June 1990. In total, 400 melanoma patients and 640 healthy controls aged 15-75 years answered a comprehens
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Leukocyte recruitment is a key feature in ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced tissue injury. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Rho-kinase inhibition on I/R-provoked leukocyte recruitment in the colon. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 30 min of ischemia by clamping of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Intraperit
Secondary metabolites produced by fungi and bacteria are among the potential agents that contribute to adverse health effects observed in occupants of buildings affected by moisture damage, dampness and associated microbial growth. However, few attempts have been made to assess the occurrence of these compounds in relation to moisture damage and dampness in buildings. This study conducted in the c
In recent decades, information technology has enjoyed an ever-increasing degree of influence upon society. The use of technology has proliferated, bleeding into all human activities, and now extends into the most private activities of individuals. Unfortunately the perpetrators of serious crimes have not missed the revolution. Technology has marked off many working terrains including that of serio
Circular economy (CE) is still a nascent research field in the built environment, however, has gained traction in the last decade. Despite it being generally accepted that sustainability consists of three dimensions, namely, social, environmental, and economic, CE has been criticised for focusing on environmental and economic impact whilst neglecting the social aspect. Further, CE has been critici
Magnesium (Mg) is a metallic material with a great range of potential applications. It can be used as the lightest structure material in automotive and aviation sectors, medical implants, hydrogen storge, etc. In such applications, oxidation and corrosion reactions play a critical role in the effectiveness of use. Therefore, deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of oxidation and corro
Molecular profiling of extracellular vesicles (EVs) offers novel opportunities for diagnostic applications, but the current major obstacle for clinical translation is the lack of efficient, robust, and reproducible isolation methods. To bridge that gap, we developed a microfluidic, non-contact, and low-input volume compatible acoustic trapping technology for EV isolation that enabled downstream sm
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken roll allmänna intressen spelar i den svenska miljöprocessen. Vidare avser arbetet redogöra för de förutsättningar under vilka enskilda, organisationer och myndigheter kan företräda sådana intressen. Uppsatsen berör även vilka som beslutar i frågor som rör allmänna intressen. Då det finns en mängd allmänna intressen som kan aktualiseras i svensk rätt harThe aim of this essay is to investigate the role of public interests in Swedish environmental law. Furthermore the essay aims to explain under which circumstances individuals, organizations and government agencies may represent public interests. The essay also discusses the question of who rules in matters concerning public interests. Since a variety of different public interests may occur in Swed
Rätt bakterier i tarmen kan göra det lättare att förbli smal Övervikt är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle. Övervikt och fetma kan kopplas ihop med ett antal sjukdomar som följd av övervikten. Personer med övervikt lider större risk att drabbas av hjärt– och kärlsjukdomar, diabetes typ 2 och även förtidig död. Det är visats av andra forskargrupper att överviktiga barn har en högre risk att själAbstract Problem with obesity is a growing health problem, and young children with obesity and overweight suffer a bigger risk to become overweight as adults. The aim of this study was to compare the differences which arise in the microbiota among preschool children who had participated in an intervention study. The present study includes two groups of children, whom had different body mass index
Effekter av träning i fastande tillstånd Den tydligaste effekten av uthållighetsträning är förbättrad kondition. Ordet kondition kan definieras som samspelet mellan lungor, hjärta, blod och muskler. Lungorna ska växla syrgas från inandningsluften och släppa ut koldioxid. Hjärtat ska pumpa blod till lungorna och ut i kroppen. Blodets uppgift är att syresätta musklerna vid fysisk ansträngning. Allt
En fjärdedel av de homosexuella, bisexuella och transpersoner som deltagit i en stor undersökning år 2013 hade blivit utsatta för hot och våld. Personerna utsätts bland annat för att de inte tillhör normen. Enligt straffskärpningsregeln i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB är det en försvårande omständighet vid bedömningen av straffvärdet om ett motiv för en brottslig gärning varit att kränka en person, folkgA quarter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons participating in a survey in 2013 had been exposed to threat and violence. One of the reasons for them being targeted was that they do not conform to the norm. According to the penalty enhancement provision in Chapter 29, Section 2, Subsection 7 of the Swedish Penal Code if a motive for a crime is to aggrieve a person, ethnic group o
Vilka värden som betraktas som viktiga i ett samhälle förändras över tid. Det gäller också i straffrätten. I uppsatsen inringas straffrättsliga värden, med ledning i intressen, som utifrån förarbeten och lagtext framstår som centrala. Ett skyddsintresse som fått en mer framskjuten position under den senare delen av nittonhundratalet är personlig integritet. I detta ligger anspråk på autonomi, frihThe values that are considered important in a society change over time. This also applies to criminal law. The paper identifies values, from interests, in criminal law that appear to be central based on the preparatory work and legal text. One protection interest that gained a more prominent position during the latter part of the twentieth century is personal integrity. This includes claims to aut
Kanari Domna Mining geosocial data from Flickr to explore tourism patterns: The case study of Athens Social media are providing a new type of geo-tagged data that by processing them, new types of knowledge can be generated and used by decision-makers in different areas including tourism. It includes e.g., identifying touristic areas that are not prioritized or advertised by touristic authorities
Förhöjda temperaturer på höga breddgrader kan förändra koldynamiken i hela Arktis. Modellerade CO2 simuleringar visar att under nuvarande klimatförhållanden utgör Arktis en netto kolsänka, fast den stora utsträckningen samt fina geografiska heterogenitet lyfter upp osäkerhet kring dess status som CO2 sänka/källa i regionen. Förståelsen för arktiska koldioxidflödekan förbättras genom integrering avIncreased temperatures in high latitudes may alter the carbon dynamics throughout the Arctic. Modelled CO2 simulations show that current climate conditions constitute the Arctic a net carbon sink, though the large extent and fine landscape heterogeneity raise an uncertainty about the carbon sink/source status of the region. The understanding of Arctic CO2 fluxes can be improved through integration
