Bacterial proteases are important enzymes used in several technical applications where controlled cleavage of proteins is needed. They are challenging enzymes to express recombinantly as parts of the proteome can be hydrolyzed by their activity. The eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is potentially a good expression host as it tolerates several stress conditions and is known to bet
The Abraham Accords’ implications for peace in the Middle EastThe Abraham Accords, signed by Israel and four Arab states in 2020, were one of President Donald Trump’s most renowned foreign policy successes. They were also one of few of his administration’s policies that enjoyed bipartisan support in the US. But what type of peace has emerged following the Abraham Accords? In what ways do the Abrah
Vetenskaplig produktion bestäms i ett samspel mellan resurser och individer och påverkas av den historiska framväxten av universitets- och högskoleväsendet. Statens roll är i många länder – så även i Sverige – central eftersom det är den som grundar lärosäten och definierar deras fri- och rättigheter men även finansierar forskning och utbildning. Det spelar också roll vilka individer, högskolor oc
Diskussionen om Sveriges forskningspolitik pågår för fullt, med utspel, utredningar och målkonflikter. Men forskning påverkas av fler faktorer än bara det ekonomiska. Stora lärosäten ska inte nödvändigtvis prioriteras, och det krävs krafttag för att komma åt könsgapet i publikationstakt, skriver innovationsforskarna Olof Ejermo och Yotam Sofer.
In this study, we examine the development of age at leaving the parental household in Sweden between the years 1830-1959. We utilize individual-level longitudinal data from two geographically and socioeconomically different regions: the county of Scania in the very south of Sweden, and Västerbotten to the north. We use descriptive and multivariate analyses to investigate how determinants, such as
Health care is moving toward integrated services where care and rehabilitation are provided at home rather than in institutions. This, together with the requirement that care must be person-centered, has proven to be a considerable challenge. Older adults living with complex health conditions such as stroke are vulnerable to change when their responsibility for care and rehabilitation becomes exte
Для вирішення проблем, які пов’язані із втомою оператора безпілотного літального апарату (БПЛА) під час виконання довготривалих місій, в [1] запропоновано рішення, яке передбачає використання або основної (навігаційної) відеокамери з варіофокальним об’єктивом, або додавання спот-камери з вузьким кутом бачення. Зображення з навігаційної відеокамери в реальному часі аналізується на предмет наявност
The ISOLDE Scientific Infrastructure at CERN offers a unique range of post-accelerated radioactive beams. The scientific program can be improved with the “Isolde Superconducting Recoil Separator” (ISRS), an innovative spectrometer able to deliver unprecedented (A, Z) resolution. In this paper we present an overview of the physics and ongoing technical developments.
Radiation protection professionals are engaged in risk communication with various stakeholders to contribute to risk awareness, trust building, informed risk decisions, and advice for action. The newly launched IRPA guideline on risk communication has the objective to enthuse communication on radiation protection and provide experiences and techniques regarding this task. However, radiation protec
The unintended consequences of marine mammal recoveries have created complex issues for resource managers to solve. In the Baltic Sea, the grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) population has increased rapidly during recent decades, and the conflict between seal conservation and fishery has escalated. Although the magnitude of economic losses varies depending on the type of fisheries, there is strong evi
Co-occurrence of humans and wildlife leads to interactions with potential positive or negative outcomes for the human actors and for the wild animals. It may also lead to positive or negative interactions between various human actors, who perceive the wildlife or wildlife conservation and management similarly or in different ways. The description of negative interactions as Human Wildlife Conflict
Background: The thoracic area has mainly been neglected in research compared to the lumbar and cervical regions. No clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for non-specific thoracic spine pain (TSP) have been compiled. Therefore, it can be argued that the absence of specific CPGs raises questions about the management of non-specific TSP. Hence, this study aimed at determining the management of non-spe
In this paper, we investigate the Scandinavian Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of Kinnekulle in southwestern Sweden. The above-mentioned periods in the study area are poorly understood and the archaeological record consists of a few stray finds and a concentration of 20 gallery graves. This study focuses on three of the gallery graves where commingled skeletons from successive burials were rec
Background and purposeDeep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) increases lung volume and can potentially reduce treatment-related toxicity in locally advanced lung cancer. We estimated geometric uncertainties in visually guided voluntary DIBH and derived the appropriate treatment margins for different image-guidance strategies.Material and methodsSeventeen patients were included prospectively. An optic
