The power curve provides a basis for predicting adjustments that animals make in flight speed, for example in relation to wind, distance, habitat foraging quality and objective. However, relatively few studies have examined how animals respond to the landscape below them, which could affect speed and power allocation through modifications in climb rate and perceived predation risk. We equipped hom
Mice (Mus musculus) have a high basal rate of metabolism which increases during pregnancy and lactation. During peak lactation, water intake amounts to up to 65 % of the bodyweight per day. Providing water in a bottle may pose a restriction of water intake and lead to dehydration during periods of high demand, such as peak lactation. To establish if female mice are able to sustain a physiological
Avian communities play a pivotal role in Arctic ecosystems and birds have become the key model taxa for climate change research. Due to funding priorities, Arctic passerines have been studied less intensively than waterfowl and shorebirds. In our study, we aim to partly fill this gap and look at the change in passerine community species composition in the Chaun River Delta in Northeast Siberia (68
Objectives: Thermal and mechanical stresses during osteotomy preparation can impair implant osseointegration. This study investigated implant osseointegration following the measurement of temperature exposure during osteotomy drilling, varying drill design, sequence, and drill wear. Materials and methods: 36 tapered implants were placed in a mandibular minipig model after guided drilling of implan
Sedan #metoo-hösten 2017 har ett trettiotal kvinnor som berättat om sexuella övergrepp på sociala medier dömts för förtal i Sverige. Den svenska förtalslagstiftningen, som skiljer sig från andra länders reglering på området, har därför kritiserats. I Sverige existerar det inte någon allmän rätt att få säga sanningen. I detta arbete undersöks den svenska förtalslagstiftningen utifrån ett genusrätSince the #metoo movement which started in the autumn of 2017, around thirty women who has spoken out about sexual assault on social media has been convicted of defamation in Sweden. Therefore, the Swedish defamation law has been criticized, which differs from other countries´ regulations in the area. In Sweden, there is no general right to tell the truth. This essay examines the Swedish defamat
ObjectivesIndividuals who die by suicide often consult their general practitioners (GPs) in their final weeks of life. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper knowledge of the clinical characteristics and GP assessments and treatments among individuals who consulted their GPs during the month preceding suicide. Further, we compared these features in those with and without contact with psychiatr
Background: Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes may have higher subsequent risk of chronic kidney disease, but the long-term independent risks and potential causality are unclear. Objective: This study aimed to determine long-term risks of chronic kidney disease associated with 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in a large population-based cohort, and to assess for familial confounding using co-
BackgroundThe literature on the relationship between anxiety and suicidal behaviors is limited and findings are mixed. This study sought to determine whether physicians noted anxiety symptoms and suicidality in their patients in the weeks and months before suicide.MethodsData were derived from a nationwide medical record review of confirmed suicides in Sweden in 2015. Individuals with at least one
BACKGROUND: Exertional breathlessness is a major symptom in cardiorespiratory disease and is often assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) questionnaire. The mMRC might underestimate exertional breathlessness in people with impaired exercise capacity who have reduced their physical activity to avoid the symptom. We aimed to evaluate the ability of mMRC to detect abnormally high
Deaths of despair (DoD), encompassing suicide, drug overdose, and alcohol-related mortality, are often linked to social and psychological distress. This study examined the long-term risk of DoD among individuals previously hospitalized for suicide attempts, with a focus on substance use problems and psychiatric disorders as potential risk factors. A prospective cohort of 1044 individuals admitted
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) during recovery of exercise stress testing are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, but the cause remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association of PVCs during recovery with echocardiographic abnormalities, and their combined prognostic performance. Echocardiographic abnormalities [reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, valv
Purpose: This paper aims to comprehensively clarify the research status of thermal transport of supercritical aviation kerosene, with particular interests in the effect of cracking on heat transfer. Design/methodology/approach: A brief review of current research on supercritical aviation kerosene is presented in views of the surrogate model of hydrocarbon fuels, chemical cracking mechanism of hydr
Background: Access to contraception can be a transformational intervention towards advancement of education, health, and freedom of choice. Countries have committed to improving access to contraception enshrined in the sustainable development goals (SDGs), indicator 3.7.1. Our study seeks to investigate the level of inequality in current use of modern contraception and unmet need for contraception
This article examines the economic incentives for Europeans to migrate to the so-called 'white man's grave' of West Africa. Ignorance and coercion have been proposed as explanations for migration to high mortality areas. We use data on the Royal African Company and their European employees on the Gold Coast during the period 1707-1740. We found that the employees received a premium above the wage
Background: Adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm delivery and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, may be associated with higher future risks of heart failure (HF). However, the comparative effects of different adverse pregnancy outcomes on long-term risk of HF, and their potential causality, are unclear. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to examine 5 major adverse pregnancy outcomes in relati
The rabbit is a common laboratory animal used for research in dental implants, mainly as a screening model. It has many advantages compared to other laboratory animals. Availability, handling, cost-effectiveness, and early skeletal maturity are a few. For the model’s validity, there need to be similarities to the human. Although there are similarities between human and rabbit anatomy, there are al
