Propionic acid (PA) is a naturally occurring short chain fatty acid produced by microbial fermentation of the indigestible foods in the intestine, having a positive effect on the gastrointestinal health. PA inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria and molds; hence it is widely used as preservative for food, feed and grains. It is also used as a component in several industrial products like polym

Introduction: Antibiotics for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) have been questioned in several studies. Thus, it is of value to identify risk factors for recurrence and complications to identify the best strategy for treatment. The aim was to investigate risk factors for recurrence and complications within at least 1 year after hospitalization for AUD. Methods: This is a retrospective stud

This article focuses on what is often termed the general (or public) sense of justice, GSJ for short. It illustrates the influence that the GSJ has had on various preparatory works in Swedish criminal law during a recent decade. It is often claimed that the GSJ is used as an argument in political discourse and decision making in the area of criminal law, especially to motivate criminalisation and

In this study, we report on large eddy simulation (LES) of convectively dominated heat transfer in a corrugated heat exchanger channel using the computational fluid dynamics toolbox, OpenFOAM. A chevron pattern domain with 63 contact points is used to represent the conditions in a real plate heat exchanger (PHE). The unsteady nature of the flow is elucidated using visualization techniques based on

The embedded verb in North Sámi ECM-constructions can appear in one of three different forms: past participle, progressive and infinitive. The existing descriptions of North Sámi say that the past participle places the embedded event before the higher event, that the progressive (traditionally called aktio essive) expresses temporal coincidence with the higher event, and that the infinitive normal

När Carl Elwing 1963 i JFT skrev en artikel om oaktsamhetsbrotten i svensk rätt var brottsbalken visserligen beslutad men hade ännu inte trätt i kraft. Mer än ett halvt sekel har passerat och det kan väl därför vara på sin plats med en uppdatering. Även den finska strafflagstiftningen har genomgått en stor revision och utan anspråk på egentlig fördjupning skall ändå en viss utblick även till Finla

Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapies for inflammatory diseases rely mainly on the paracrine ability to modulate the activity of macrophages. Despite recent advances, there is scarce information regarding changes of the secretome content attributed to physiomimetic cultures and, especially, how secretome content influence on macrophage activity for therapy. hLMSCs from human donors were c
