Growing concerns for environmental issues and product safety for users have shifted research interests towards the use of renewable resources and climate-neutral processes. The enzymatic approach having high selectivity under mild reaction conditions is promising, and the nature-originating products are well accepted. Alkyl glycosides (AGs) consisting of fatty alcohol and sugar are nonionic surfac
Abstract: A side-by-side comparison of updated guidelines regarding contrast medium-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) from the Swedish Society of Uroradiology (SSUR) and the European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) is presented. The major discrepancies include a higher glomerular filtration rate (GFR) threshold as a risk factor for CI-AKI and for discontinuation of metformin by SSUR, i.e
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ovan jord & under ytan Sandstäpp är en hotad växtmiljö eftersom arealen av sandstäpp minskat avsevärt sedan Linnés tid (1700-talet). Vi ställde oss frågan varför den har minskat. För att kunna besvara den måste vi förstå vad växtarterna behöver och förstå hur kemin i marken fungerar. Dessutom vill vi lära oss hur markens organismer påverkas av minskningen av sandstSandy, calcareous grasslands are species rich temperate semi-natural grasslands. The species composition in 136 plots was analysed in relation to soil chemistry parameters; extractable P and N, soil pH and lime content. We found that that acidification and decalcification decrease species diversity and the number of red-listed species in these sandy grasslands. The microbial community was investig
My Ph.D. examines women’s writing in the interwar period through a questioning of the boundaries between the public and private sphere as traditional masculine forms of power based on a system of sovereignty and law enter the domestic realm. I also consider how power might be reimagined abroad. I juxtapose works of popular fiction from E.M. Hull, Agatha Christie and Marie Belloc Lowndes with the m
BACKGROUND: Assessments of age-specific mortality and life expectancy have been done by the UN Population Division, Department of Economics and Social Affairs (UNPOP), the United States Census Bureau, WHO, and as part of previous iterations of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD). Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not d
The ACE-2 HILLCLOUD experiment was carried out on the island of Tenerife in June-July 1997 to investigate the interaction of the boundary layer aerosol with a hill cap cloud forming over a ridge to the north-east of the island. The cloud was used as a natural flow through reactor to investigate the dependence of the cloud microphysics and chemistry on the characteristics of the aerosols and trace
The field of research dealing with the integration of biomolecules with electronic elements to form functional devices is called ‘‘bioelectronics’’. Bioelectronics based on mediated electron transfer (MET) between the biological element and the electrodes are designated as “second generation” while the one based on direct electron transfer (DET) is specified as “third generation”. Implanted bioele
The human-environment connection in the mostly rural drylands of sub-Saharan Africa forms a complex, interlinked system that provides ecosystem services. This system is susceptible to climatic variability that impacts the supply of its products, and high population growth, which impacts the demand for these products. When plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the process of phot
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate how much perfusion pressure an artery can tolerate without significant loss of endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) and vascular contractility. METHODS: The abdominal aortas of 396 Sprague-Dawley rats were used. One hundred twenty aortas were flush-perfused for 1 or 5 minutes with cold St. Thomas' Hospital cardioplegic (STHC) solution or with
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar ämnesområdet integritet i arbetslivet. Individer i ett modernt samhälle har anspråk på respekt eller icke angrepp inom sitt intresseområde. Arbetslivet utgör ett exempel på ett sådant område. Min utgångspunkt då jag behandlar ämnet är främst individens (arbetstagarens) prima-facie anspråk på respekt, icke angrepp inom sitt intresseområde. IntThis dissertation deals with personal privacy in working life. Humans have legitimate expectations and claims to respect for and non-interference with personal privacy in many areas and stages of life. The work place is just one of them. The point departure when dealing with privacy matters at the workplace is primarily the claim by individual employees to respect for and non-interference with the
The acoustic emission that is detectable in the forming of complex thin part plates contains information about the quality of the pressed plates. The information can be used as process control and to filter out advanced thin plates with defects such as cracks. The article describes the results obtained in a try-out pressing process in special developed punch-die pairs with different pressing
Popular Abstract in Swedish De senaste ca trettio åren har man observerat en kraftig ökning av löst organiskt kol i sjöar, vattendrag och kustnära vatten i olika delar av det norra halvklotet, bl.a. i delar av Nordamerika, Storbritannien, Baltikum, centrala Europa och Skandinavien. I Sverige har ökningen främst varit koncentrerad till de södra delarna av landet. Löst organiskt kol i sjöar belägna During the past three decades, increases have been observed in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and colour in the surface waters of lakes and rivers in parts of Europe and North America, raising concern about the effects on the quality of aquatic environments with consequences for biodiversity, resource availability and recreational use. Various hypotheses have been put forward to exp
Study Type - Diagnostic (case series) Level of Evidence 4 What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? It is well known that CIS is a major risk factor for muscle-invasive bladder cancer and that this entity can be difficult to diagnose. Taking cold-cup mapping biopsies from different areas of the bladder (BMAP) is commonly used in patients at risk of harbouring CIS. The diagnostic ac

Transplants of fetal midbrain raphe neurons into the adult brain have been shown to promote recovery of complex behavioral deficits in several experimental models, but the mechanisms underlying these effects are only partially understood. In the present study, we have used a well-characterized model system to ascertain whether midbrain raphe graft can display behaviorally relevant changes in trans
Den svenska arvsrätten kännetecknas av sega strukturer och långsamma förändringar. Reglerna har inte varit föremål för någon omfattande reform sedan början av 1900-talet. Nuvarande lagstiftning präglas därför av inslag från gamla normer och strukturer. Dessa gamla normer och strukturer utmanas och debatteras idag flitigt såväl i media som i de politiska organen. Den här framställningen belyser denThe Swedish succession law is characterized by strong structures and slow changes. The legislation has not been subject of any major reform since the beginning of the 20th century. Therefore, the current legislation is characterized by elements of old norms and structures. These old norms and structures are challenged and debated today, both in the media and in political bodies. This thesis highli
De senaste åren har antalet barn som tvångsomhändertas med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga, LVU, ökat kraftigt, och det finns ingen tydlig förklaring till varför denna ökning har skett. Tvångsomhändertaganden med stöd av LVU kan bl.a. bli aktuellt när en person under 20 år har något annat socialt nedbrytande beteende. Rekvisitet är tänkt att täcka in barn som på The last years the number of children subjected to compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) increased substantially with no clear explanation. A person under 20 years can be subjected to compulsory care under the Care of Young Persons Act if he or she has a socially destructive behavior. The purpose of the prerequisite is to make sure that children who in other ways than through s

Provokationer eller provokativa åtgärder är en kontroversiell polisiär arbetsmetod som innebär att polisen lockar eller utmanar någon till en handling eller ett uttalande som kan vara negativt eller besvärande för denne. Ytterst innebär detta en risk för att staten provocerar enskilda att begå brott vilket är problematiskt på grund av den ojämna fördelningen av resurser mellan staten och enskilda.Entrapment is a method used by the police in which they lure or challenge somebody into an action or a statement that could impact the person negatively. Ultimately, this entails a risk that the government provoke an individual into committing crimes. This is problematic due to the imbalance of resources between the state and an individual and effectively means that several legal principles are ch
