Boken ger inblick i Stiftelsens roll för svensk amerikansk mobilitet inom utbildning och forskning, med start 1919 .

Essän bygger på flera års forskning om kulturarvsskapande bland nordiska emigranter i USA. Författarens skriver i egenskap av Sverige-Amerikastiftelsens alumna och delger sina erfarenheter av högre studier och forskning inom kulturarvsområdet i USA och Sverige.

Low cholesterol levels have been correlated with both suicidal and aggressive behavior in psychiatric patients. Few studies have investigated associations between serum lipid profiles and both aggressive state and trait. Fifty-two psychiatric medication-free inpatients were included in this study after a suicide attempt. Composite scores of “State Aggression” and “Trait Aggression” were calculated

This chapter re-evaluates the relationships among elite women and the triumph in the Republic and early Empire (509 BCE–47 CE), demonstrating that during the Republic female relatives of triumphal generals were associated with and integrated into the triumph via the triumphal chariot, ancestor masks, funerals, and names, and that these associations continued and grew in the early Empire to encompa

Background: High-grade osteosarcoma is a primary malignant bone tumour mainly affecting children and young adults. The European and American Osteosarcoma Study (EURAMOS)-1 is a collaboration of four study groups aiming to improve outcomes of this rare disease by facilitating randomised controlled trials. Methods: Patients eligible for EURAMOS-1 were aged ≤40 years with M0 or M1 skeletal high-grade

UV vision is prevalent, but we know little about its utility in common general tasks, as in resolving habitat structure. Here we visualize vegetated habitats using a multispectral camera with channels mimicking bird photoreceptor sensitivities across the UV-visible spectrum. We find that the contrast between upper and lower leaf surfaces is higher in a UV channel than in any visible channel, and t

The field of radial turbines is wide and radial turbines of today find applications in areas as diverse as small gas turbines; turbochargers for cars, buses, and trucks, railway locomotives, and diesel power generators; cryogenic and process expanders; rocket engine turbopumps; and specialty steam turbines. The three-dimensional flow inside a radial turbine is complex and ever since the radial turThe field of radial turbines is wide and radial turbines of today find applications inareas as diverse as small gas turbines; turbochargers for cars, buses, and trucks, railwaylocomotives, and diesel power generators; cryogenic and process expanders; rocket engineturbopumps; and specialty steam turbines, [12].

The binding between colipase and two triacylglycerol substrates, tributyrin and Intralipid, in the presence of bile salts have been determined quantitatively by a method based on equilibrium partition in an aqueous two-phase system. In the model proposed the triacylglycerol, in the form of spherical droplets covered with bile salt, is assumed to have a certain number of independent binding sites a

The effect of different bile salts on amylase release from isolated rat pancreatic acini has been studied. The bile salt-stimulated discharge of amylase could be divided into three situations, depending on the concentration of bile salt. At low concentrations, between 1 and 100 X 10(-6)M, there was a slight increase in amylase secretion, 5-7% of total, which varied with the type of bile salt but w

Objective: To determine the role of inflammatory biomarkers at 2 years post–anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury to predict radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–defined knee OA at 5 years postinjury, with a secondary aim of estimating the concordance of inflammatory biomarkers assessed by MRI and synovial fluid (SF) analysis. Methods: We studied 113 patient

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of exercise therapy on molecular biomarkers related to cartilage and inflammation in people at risk of, or with established, knee osteoarthritis by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).METHODS: Literature search up to September 2017 in five major databases with no restriction on publication year or language.
