As the use of engineered nanomaterials increases, so does the risk of them spreading to natural ecosystems. Hitherto, knowledge regarding the toxic properties of nanoparticles (NP’s) and their potential interactions with natural bio-organic molecules adsorbed to them, and thereby forming surface coronas, is limited. However, we show here that the toxic effect of NPs of tungsten carbide cobalt (WC–

Despite the fact that the laser-cooling method is a well-established technique to obtain ultracold neutral atoms and atomic cations, it has rarely if ever been applied to atomic anions due to the lack of suitable electric-dipole transitions. Efforts of more than a decade have until recently only resulted in La- as a promising anion candidate for laser cooling, but our previous work [Tang et al., P

Survey data (FRA 2014) suggest that the lifetime rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) in the Nordic countries are among the highest in the EU, even though these countries are positioned as among the most gender equal in the world. This co-existence of high levels of gender equality and of high IPVAW rates, which has been termed the Nordic Paradox, has hitherto not been adequate

Bio-based 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) serves as an important platform for several chemicals, among which 2,5-furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) has attracted considerable interest as a monomer for the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF), a potential alternative for fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This study is based on the HMF oxidizing activity shown by Mycobacterium sp. MS 16

A high acoustic energy density is required in the acoustic resonator to increase the throughput of acoustophoresis devices. In this study, through both experiments and numerical simulations, we find that the energy density in bulk-wave-acoustophoresis devices can be enhanced by actuating the device from the side. Based on qualitative free-flow focusing experiments, side actuation shows clear super

Reverse Electrodialysis is today recognized as one of the most promising technology to harvest Salinity Gradient Power (SGP-RE). However, the effectiveness of SGP-RE in real practice is still not clearly defined due to the lack of specific studies in literature, being in large part limited to investigations on pure NaCl solutions. In this work we experimentally investigated the effect of Mg2+, the

BACKGROUND: The principles of palliative care were developed in hospices and specialised palliative care units and have not been sufficiently adapted to and evaluated in nursing homes. Therefore, an educational intervention from an interprofessional education perspective was performed within the project Implementation of Knowledge-Based Palliative Care in Nursing Homes. The aim of this study was t

Strontium isotope ratios in human teeth from the three Swedish prehistoric Stone Age hunter-fisher-gathering societies Norje Sunnansund (Maglemose), Skateholm (Ertebølle) and Västerbjers (Pitted Ware Culture) were analysed with laser ablation to produce data on both individual movement patterns and societal mobility trends. The analyses of teeth from both Skateholm and Västerbjers displayed homoge

A new genus of Neotropical Satyrinae butterflies, Viloriodes Pyrcz & Espeland gen. n. is described in the Pedaliodes Butler complex comprising 11–13 genera and more than 400 species. Support for the new genus is provided by a phylogenetic analysis based on target enrichment (TE) data including 618 nuclear loci with a total of 248,940 nucleotides, and the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase s

Purpose of Review: At elevated levels, the essential element manganese (Mn) is neurotoxic and increasing evidence indicates that environmental Mn exposure early in life negatively affects neurodevelopment. In this review, we describe how underlying genetics may confer susceptibility to elevated Mn concentrations and how the epigenetic effects of Mn may explain the association between Mn exposure e

The need for increaseding accuracy and reduced ambiguities in the inversion results has resulted in focus on the development of more advanced inversion methods of geophysical data. Over the past few years more advanced inversion techniques have been developed to improve the results. Real 3D-inversion is time consuming and therefore often not the best solution in a cost-efficient perspective. This

Faster bacterial biomass turnover is expected in water compared to soil, which would result in more rapid community adaption to changing environmental conditions, including temperature. Bacterial community adaptation for growth is therefore predicted to have larger seasonal amplitudes in lakes than in soil. To test this prediction, we compared the seasonal variation in temperature adaptation of ba

AIMS: To report on treatment related toxicity and mortality in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) treated by cytoreduction in combination with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and to identify prognostic factors.METHODS: A review was performed of 103 procedures of cytoreduction and intraoperative HIPEC for PMP between 1996 and 2004. Toxicity was graded accord

This prospective study reports the design and results obtained after the EMPODaT project implementation. This project was funded by the Tempus programme of the European Commission with the objective to implement a common postgraduate programme on organ donation and transplantation (ODT) in six selected universities from Middle East/North Africa (MENA) countries (Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco).

Denna studie syftar till att bidra till en bredare bild av varumärkeskommunikation med fokus på sambandet mellan provokativ marknadsföring samt attityder och beteenden. Frågeställningarna är utformade för att undersöka potentiella konsumenters upplevelser av provokativ marknadsföring och hur de talar om det i förhållande till varumärket. Studien bygger på ett teoretiskt ramverk baserat på strategiThis study aims to contribute to a broader picture of brand communication with a focus on the relationship between provocative marketing and attitudes and behaviours. The questions are designed to investigate potential consumers' experiences of provocative marketing and how they talk about it in relation to the brand. The study is based on a theoretical framework based on strategic brand manag

Lipid nanopartiklar, förkortat LNP, används bland annat vid cancerbehandling och vaccinutveckling. Deras funktion är att transportera och skydda verksamma ämnen såsom antikroppar, proteiner och peptider. Ett välkänt exempel är coronavaccinet, där LNP transporterar mRNA och skyddar det från att brytas ner i kroppen. Lipid nanopartiklar består av olika lipider: positivt laddade, fosfolipider, kolestOver the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. Specifically, Polysorbate 80 (P80), a
