Mangroveskogens ekosystem är ett tropiskt kustsamhälle bebott av organismer anpassade till den stressfulla miljön i tidvattenszonen. Mangroveskogen har på senare år blivit erkänd för de viktiga ekosystemtjänsterna den erbjuder. Trotts detta hotas den av mänskliga aktiviteter, och en tredjedel av världens naturliga mangroveskog uppskattas redan ha gått förlorad. Ansträngningar har gjorts för att beThe mangrove ecosystem is a tropical coastal community inhabited by organisms adapted to the stressful environment of the tidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems has in recent years been noted for the important ecosystem services they offer. Still, they are threatened by anthropogenic activities and it has been estimated that a third of the world’s natural mangrove cover has already been lost. Efforts hav

The concept of trade facilitation has gained increased attention during the past decade. In today’s globalized world, the relative cost of inefficient trade procedures has increased. The underlying aim of this study is to investigate whether inefficient trade procedures affect exports. More specifically, whether Ghana can increase its export volumes and/or export diversification by engaging in tra

The invasive oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces astaci significantly threatens native European crayfish populations, prompting investigations towards the effects of protective immunostimulation on the immune response of the vulnerable noble crayfish (Astacus astacus). Here, we evaluate the effect of three oomycete-derived immunostimulant treatments: laminarin (β-1,3-glucan found within the Ap. astaci c

Den här studien undersöker en grupp musikelevers improvisatoriska val över dominantackord som leder till tonika i improvisationer över II V I-progressioner i dur. Studiens fokusområde motiveras av den höga andel II V I-progressioner som används som musikaliska byggstenar i genrer där improvisation förekommer i hög grad. Även om det inte ligger inom räckhåll för den här studien att undersöka kausal

Att vittna är en lagstadgad skyldighet i Sverige. Om man vägrar att inställa sig som vittne trots att man är kallad riskerar man att tvångsmedel riktas mot en. Under senare tid har möjligheten till anonyma vittnesmål diskuterats på en rad olika håll i samhället, då man allt oftare ser en ovilja att vittna på grund av rädsla att drabbas av repressalier. Enligt en allmän uppfattning är det inte tillTo testify is a statutory duty in Sweden. If one refuses to testify, even though one are called by the court, one risks that compulsions will be directed towards one. Recently, the possibility of anonymous testimony has been discussed in the Swedish society, as the reluctance to testify has increased due to the fear of reprisals. But according to the general view in Sweden, it is not allowed to wi

Euler diagrams are common and intuitive visualizations for data involving sets and relationships thereof. Compared to Venn diagrams, Euler diagrams do not require all set relationships to be present and may therefore be area-proportional also with subset or disjoint relationships in the input. Most Euler diagrams use circles, but circles do not always support accurate diagrams. A promising alterna

Semantic search using large language models (LLMs) combined with an approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) index is the current state of the art in search technology. Semantic search aims to match a user’s search query based on its contextual meaning and intent with a highly relevant search result, rather than relying solely on matching keywords. While semantic search is superior to keyword-based sear

Background and Objectives Weak expression of A/B histo-blood group antigens is often explained by single nucleotide substitutions at the ABO locus. However, hybrid alleles containing segments from different ABO alleles can result in unexpected phenotypes and may complicate genotype analysis. We investigated the basis of weak B phenotype in a referred sample. Materials and Methods A healthy young w

Background: Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C. botulinum. The recent determination of the genome sequence of C. botulinum has allowed comparative genomic indexing using a DNA microarray. Results: Whole ge

Objective: To describe criminal recidivism, especially violent recidivism, in a long-term follow-up of mentally disordered offenders sentenced to different types of sanctions. Subjects and methods: A population-based Swedish cohort of male offenders referred to pre-trial psychiatric investigations between 1988 and 1995, was sentenced to forensic psychiatric treatment (n = 163), prison (n = 120), o

Purpose Cigarette smoking is the major pathogenic factor for lung cancer. The precise mechanisms of tobacco-related carcinogenesis, and its effect on the genomic and transcriptional landscape in lung cancer are not fully understood. Experimental Design 1398 (277 never-smokers, 1121 smokers) genomic and 1449 (370 never-smokers, 1079 smokers) transcriptional profiles were assembled from public lung

Intestinal alkaline sphingomyelinase (alk-SMase) generates ceramide and inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF) and is previously suggested to have anticancer properties. The direct evidence is still lacking. We studied colonic tumorigenesis in alk-SMase knockout (KO) mice. Formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was examined after azoxymethane (AOM) injection. Tumor was induced by AOM alone,

Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, where the progressive degeneration of motor neurons results in muscle atrophy, paralysis and death. Abnormalities in both central nervous system and muscle mitochondria have previously been demonstrated in patient samples, indicating systemic disease. In this case-control study, venous blood samples were acquired from 24 amy
