OBJECTIVE: Products enriched with oat beta-glucan have been shown to reduce postprandial glucose and insulinemic responses. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an extruded muesli product based on oat beta-glucan on the rate of gastric emptying, postprandial blood glucose and satiety in healthy subjects. METHODS: Gastric emptying rate (GER) was measured by standardized real-time ult

Background: A delay in surgical nerve repair results in impaired nerve function in humans, but mechanisms behind the weakened nerve regeneration are not known. Activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) increases the intrinsic growth state of injured neurons early after injury, but the role of long-term changes and their relation to axonal outgrowth after a delayed nerve repair are not well understo

The blade tip region encounters high thermal loads because of the hot gas leakage flows, and it must therefore be cooled to ensure a long durability and safe operation. A common way to cool a blade tip is to design serpentine passages with a 180 deg turns under the blade tip-cap inside the turbine blade. Improved internal convective cooling is therefore required to increase blade tip lifetime. Pin

Therapeutic hypothermia has been found to improve hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in cardiogenic shock. Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) is a pro-thrombolytic enzyme, which also possesses pro-inflammatory properties. Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) are pro-inflammatory cytokines; interleukin 10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) are anti-in

Objectives: Tetrachloroethylene is the dominant solvent used in dry cleaning worldwide and many workers are potentially exposed. We report here on results of 1296 measurements of tetrachloroethylene undertaken in Nordic dry cleaning shops 1947–2001. Methods: We searched documents and files in the Nordic institutes of occupational health for air measurements of tetrachloroethylene. Repeated measur

Background Long-term outcome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation including late transplant-related events is of increasing interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of cardiovascular events after allogeneic HSCT and to search for their risk factors. Design and Methods This is a retrospective mutlicenter European Group of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) analysi

Electrode grounding resistance is a major factor affecting measurement quality in electric resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements for cryospheric applications. Still, little information is available on grounding resistances in the geophysical literature, mainly because it is difficult to measure. The focus-one protocol is a new method for estimating single electrode grounding resistances by mea

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) have a pathogenic role in ANCA-associated vasculitis. The origin of ANCAs and anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies, however, is unknown. In this study, we determined whether natural autoantibodies against myeloperoxidase (MPO), proteinase 3 (PR3), and GBM were present in each of 10 healthy Chinese and Swedish individuals, negative for al

Syftet var att beskriva hur många barns föräldrar som fick egenvårdsråd av en barnsjuksköterska/sjuksköterska, vilken besöksorsaken var, om hänvisning gjordes samt belysa föräldrars upplevelse av att återkomma med sitt barn till barnakutmottagningen inom 24 timmar efter givna egenvårdsråd. Metod, Kvantitativ retrospektiv registerstudie samt öppna intervjuer har använts. Deskriptiv statistik. För i

Bakgrund: Långvarig smärta är ett vanligt och relativt välstuderat hälsoproblem som i stor utsträckning påverkar individens dagliga liv. I vilken omfattning detta sker samt vilka grupper som drabbas mest är emellertid mer sparsamt undersökt. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka smärtans påverkan på dagligt liv ur ett köns- och åldersperspektiv. Metod: Metoden är kvantitativ och

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b

Min utgångspunkt har varit de senaste årens trendbrott i boendepreferenser, där storstäderna inte växer i samma takt som tidigare. Allt fler söker sig till platser med stort utbud av småhus, närhet till natur, goda förbindelser till arbete och rimligare kvadratmeterpriser. Till följd av detta har flera mindre kommuner och orter fått en skjuts i befolkningstillväxt. En av dessa kommuner är min egOver the last years the bigger cities in Sweden haven’t grown at the same speed as before. There has been a rising trend of people choosing to live outside of the big cities as they tend to look for areas with proximity to nature, large selection of small houses, good connections to work and more reasonable square meter prices. As a result, several smaller municipalities and towns have received a

Forskningsfrågor: Är det statistiskt signifikant att det finns en förändringar i aktieavkastning på optionens förfallodag i den underliggande aktien? har de öppna options kontrakten en påverkan på aktieavkastningen på optionens förfallodag? Syfte: Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om det finns en signifikant skillnad i aktieavkastningen vid optionens förfallodag i relation till de öppna Research questions: Is there significant change in the stock return on option expiration dates in the underlying stock? Does the net open interest have an effect on the return of the underlying stock on option expiration day? Purpose: The purpose of the bachelor's thesis is to study whether there is a significant difference in the stock returns on option expiration dates in relation to the ne

För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is a furan-based platform chemical that can be used in various applications, as a renewable alternative to fossil-derived compounds or materials. It can be produced from biobased raw materials with high-sugar content, such as molasses. Sugar beet molasses is produced as a side product from domestic sugar beet plants in southern Sweden. Utilising it as a raw material

Betesmarker kan rädda våra pollinatörer Pollinatörer gör att vi får mat i form av frukt, grönsaker, vilda växter och frön. Det senaste århundrandet har jordbruket blivit allt mer intensivt vilket gjort att pollinatörer minskat, framförallt de med specifika karaktärsdrag. Små pollinatörer, och de som har specialiserad diet och boplats har pekats ut som särskilt utsatta för intensivt jordbruk. En aIn the last century, agricultural intensification has led to loss of permanent pastures in the landscape which has been correlated with a loss in biodiversity. Specifically, small specialist species are more negatively affected. Often because they have a higher demand on suitable complementary habitats, larger home-range requirements of a high quality. Small species also have a lower mobility and
