The inorganic metal or metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) that mimic enzymes are of great interest due to improved physical and chemical properties compared with native enzymes. Here, we report that manganese dioxide (MnO2)-Silk exhibit catalase, oxidase, and peroxidase-like activities. The MnO2-Silk hybrid fibers effectively decomposed hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and oxidized the typical horseradish pe
Background The transanal endorectal one-stage pull-through (TERPT) procedure in children with Hirschsprung disease (HD) is frequently used worldwide. To give the children's families realistic expectations and to plan the medical care for the period after TERPT, the outcome is of great importance. Aim The aim of this article is to collect information on the number of stools passed daily after one-s
Popular Abstract in Swedish Uppskattningsvis 140–180 000 patienter i Sverige har förmaksflimmer. Den totala förekomsten är dock okänd eftersom vissa patienter också helt saknar symtom och därför inte har kännedom om sin sjukdom. Förmaksflimmer, som både kan vara kroniskt eller komma i attacker, innebär att förmaken inte aktivt pumpar ner blodet i hjärtats kammare. Istället sker mer okoordinerade sBackground: Oral antigoagulation treatment (OAT) with warfarin have a narrow therapeutic window and patients exhibit a highly variable doseresponse that is attributable to genetic, disease-related,and environmental factors as well as prescription and nonprescription drugs, dietary vitamin K and alcohol. The effect of warfarin treatement on blood coagulation is measured using international normaliz
The purpose of this study was to examine how the foster parent's need of support is provided. The study was built upon a qualitative method with interviews with ten foster parents. More specifically, its aim was too find out how the foster parents themselves looked upon how their need of support, and from whom the support was provided. According to the law, it is the social services obligation
Library 2.0 is a term which emerged a few years ago and is frequently discussed. There is no uniform definition of the term but the central aspect of the concept is to encourage increased participation from library users. The aim of this Master's thesis is to investigate if and if so, how the professional role of the librarian is affected by Library 2.0. To do that, we have conducted a case s
Object. With increasing use of endovascular procedures, the number of aneurysms treated surgically will decline. in this study the authors review complications related to the surgical treatment of aneurysms and address the issue of maintaining quality standards on a national level. Methods. A prospective, nonselected amalgamation of every aneurysm case treated in five of six neurosurgical centers
Vegetation growth in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a crucial process for quantifying ecohydrological modelling, as it influences evapotranspiration, interception, soil erosion and biomass production. The simplified version of Environmental Policy Integrated Climate (EPIC) in SWAT was originally designed for temperate regions and naturally based on temperature to simulate growth cycles
Detta är den sjunde årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationellt miljöövervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket sedan 2010. Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Entomologiska Förening, Naturvårdsverket, Lunds universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelserna. Verksamheten möjliggörs av frivilliga
Global atmospheric methane concentrations have continued to rise in recent years, having already more than doubled since the Industrial Revolution. Further environmental change, especially climate change, in the twenty-first century has the potential to radically alter global methane fluxes. Importantly, changes in temperature, precipitation, and net primary production may induce positive climate
A user-friendly high-resolution intermediate complexity dynamic and spatially distributed flow model is crucial in urban flood modeling. Planners and consultants need to improve the accuracy of floods and estimation of risks. A new flow model will serve as a rapid tool to improve identification of these. This article provides a detailed explanation of a model based on a multiple flow algorithm.

BACKGROUND: Corin is a protease expressed in cardiomyocytes that plays a key role in salt handling and intravascular volume homeostasis via activation of natriuretic peptides. It is unknown if Corin loss-of-function (LOF) is causally associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS: We analyzed all coding CORIN variants in an Italian case-control study of CAD. We functionally tested
This innovative book argues that meetings are a crucial feature of modern organisations, demonstrating that, contrary to popular belief, meetings are what define, represent and maintain organisations. Through an in-depth analysis of ethnographic case studies, Patrik Hall, Malin Åkerström and Erika Andersson Cederholm illustrate the inner workings of meetings, exploring phenomena such as meeting ch
Objective: As part of the first phase of the OARSI Early-stage Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis (EsSKOA) initiative, we explored the first symptoms and experiences recalled by individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design: This qualitative study, informed by qualitative description, was a secondary analysis of focus groups (n = 17 groups) and one-on-one interviews (n = 3) conducted in 91 in
In what ways can various perspectives, aims, circumstances, and directives influence music students and music teachers in different educational contexts such as primary school, Schools of music and performing arts (SMPA), folk high school, and upper secondary school, viewed from a Nordic perspective?A common characteristic for all these types of schools is that they can be part of an educational a
Vid till- och nybyggnation i detaljplanerade områden finns det ett antal punkter som måste vara uppfyllda för att bygglov ska beviljas. Detta omfattar bland annat att ansökan ska följa gällande detaljplan samt att de krav och skyddsbestämmelser som finns i Plan- och bygglag (2010:900) ska vara uppfyllda. Ett av dessa krav är anpassningskravet i 2 kap. 6 § 1p PBL. Denna uppsats syftar till att geWhen granting a building permit for changes in detailed development areas, such as alterations and new construction, several requirements must be met. The application must comply with the detailed development plan, but also that the applicable regulations regarding the requirements and protective provisions are complied with. One of these requirements is the adaptation requirement (anpassningskrav
Background: Opioid overdose related injury or death can be prevented by bystander naloxone administration. For naloxone to be present when and where overdoses occur, opioid prevention education and naloxone distribution (OPEND) must be established on a broad level. This is the 30-month follow-up of the first multi-site naloxone project in Sweden, implemented at 31 sites in the County of Skåne 2018
The Paris Agreement suggests that all countries engage in significant emission reductions. To stay within safe guardrails, usually defined as a maximum warming of 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial times, this will mean decarbonisation within less than 30 years. This significant challenge is complicated because of growth in some sectors, such as tourism. This paper analyses emissions and economic o
This thesis is written in the field of family law and describes the best inter-est of the child in custody cases, by comparing Swedish and Polish law in the light of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The thesis begins with a descriptive part where the definition of the best interest of the child according to the Convention is presented. Thereafter, each country’s definition of the best
