Cationic vinylpyridine based molecularly imprinted polymer monoliths were, for the first time, applied to enantiomer separation using capillary electrochromatography. In order to map the synthesis conditions under which superporous monoliths are obtained, capillary columns were prepared by an in situ polymerization technique using varying monomer and porogen compositions. Both electrolyte pH and p
Questions: How does the number of species in a community affect the level of genetic diversity of its constituent species? What is the relation between competitive interactions and the spatial distribution of genetic variation? When spatially structured, how is the genetic differentiation among subpopulations affected by competition and size of the community? Model features and key assumptions: A
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, but the degree of impairment has been difficult to determine. Most studies have been performed on plasma instead of whole blood. We therefore evaluated wh
Studiens syfte var att psykometriskt utprova en svenskspråkig version av Hayling Test, ett neuropsykologiskt test som framför allt avser att mäta verbal inhibitionsförmåga. Testet utprovades på en frisk kontrollgrupp (N = 76) i åldern 40-95 år. Studien fann ett signifikant negativt samband mellan ålder och prestationer på testet. Män presterade signifikant bättre än kvinnor på ett av delmåtten. DeThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of an adapted Swedish version of the Hayling Test, a neuropsychological test which mainly intends to measure response inhibition. The test was administered to a healthy control group (N = 76) ranging in age from 40 to 95 years. The study found a significant negative correlation between age and test performance. Men performed signific
Under våren 2013 har en hydrogeologisk kartering gjorts av grundvattenmagasinet Hultan i Sjöbo kommun, södra Skåne. Projektet har utförts på uppdrag av Sveriges geologiska undersökning som en del i arbetet med ett av Sveriges miljömål; Grundvatten av god kvalitet. Undersökningen har innefattat brunnsinventering av enskilda brunnar i området, provtagning och analys av grundvattnet i två mätpunkter,During spring 2013 mapping of the ground water has been done in Hultan in Sjöbo municipality, south Scania. The project is an assignment from Geological Survey of Sweden as a part of the work with one of Sweden´s environmental quality objectives; Groundwater of good quality. The study has included inventory of private wells in the area, a collection of samples and analysis thereof of the groundwat
Abstract: Background: Breast cancer is the most common kind of cancer among women in Sweden. While the short- to mid-term survival chances are good, the long-term survival chances are poor, and a large number of women are also likely being overtreated and thus suffer from unnecessary side effects. The South Sweden Cancerome Analysis Network - Breast (SCAN-B) Initiative aims at improving breast ca
Removal of Ca2+ from PSII lead to impaired electron transfer from YZ to P680+ and to inhibition of S state transitions which results in a modified stable S2 state (probed by a stable multiline EPR signal) and the induction of the S2YZox state ("split" signal) by illumination at 0° C. We have performed an EPR study on the pH dependence of these reactions in Ca2+-depleted PSII (prepared by citrate t
Four in-line tube bundles with different geometry were investigated for establishing their performance in terms of heat transfer enhancement. Two-phase aqueous foam was used as a coolant. Such coolant was considered, because our previous research showed that large heat transfer intensity may be reached even at small mass flow rate of the foam. Spacing among the centres of the tubes across the firs
Zeaxanthin, a carotenoid in the xanthophyll cycle, has been suggested to play a role in the protection against photodestruction. We have studied the importance of the parameters involved in zeaxanthin formation by comparing spinach plants grown in low light (100 to 250 mol m-2 s-1) to plants transferred to high light (950 mol m-2 s-1). Different parameters were followed for a total of 11 days. Our
Fall is the most common cause of serious work related accidents. Falls and related injuries not only cause suffering for individuals, but also means a high economic burden to industries and society. The objective of the study was to use a walkway with in-built force plate, adjustable inclination and surface to assess how risks of slips and falls vary due to inclination and friction of the walkway
In northern Sweden, Empetrum hermaphroditum Hagerup dominates the ground layer vegetation in post fire successions by suppressing other plant species. Previous studies suggest that this negative effect by E. hermaphroditum may be explained, at least in part, by the release of phenolic compounds, particularly batatasin-III, from foliage to soil. In this pilot study, we evaluated the effect of batat
Glycolipids such as gangliosides affect the properties of lipid membranes and in extension the interactions between membranes and other biomolecules like proteins. To better understand how the properties of individual lipid molecules can contribute to shape the functional aspects of a membrane, the spatial restriction and dynamics of C–H bond segments can be measured using nuclear magnetic re
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of quantitative ultrasound of fetal lung texture analysis in predicting neonatal respiratory morbidity (NRM) in twin pregnancies. This was an ambispective study involving consecutive cases. Eligible cases included twin pregnancies between 27.0 and 38.6 weeks of gestation, for which an ultrasound image of the fetal thorax was obtained with
Stiff, elastic, viscous shear thinning aqueous gels are formed upon dispersion of low weight percent concentrations of cationically modified cellulose nanofibrils (CCNF) in water. CCNF hydrogels produced from cellulose modified with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride, with degree of substitution (DS) in the range 10.6(3)-23.0(9)%, were characterised using NMR spectroscopy, rheology and small angle
Background: Corticosteroids play a significant role in managing the vast majority of inflammatory and immunologic conditions. To date, population-based studies on knowledge and attitudes concerning corticosteroids are scarce. This study aims to comprehensively assess knowledge, perception, experience and phobia toward corticosteroid use among the general population in the era of COVID-19. Methods:
