1. Five groups of male Sprague Dawley rats were given for 6 months a diet with high protein and fat contents but a very low dietary fibre content (group B), and this diet mixed with (g/kg) 50 low-methoxyl pectin (group L), 50 high-methoxyl pectin (group H), 50 guar gum (group G) and 200 wheat bran (group WB, corresponding to 100 wheat fibre) respectively. 2. The weight increment was significantly
Population-based data on the incidence and surgical treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and synchronous liver and lung metastases are lacking as are real-life data on the frequency of metastasectomy for both sites and outcomes in this setting. This is a nationwide population-based study of all patients having liver and lung metastases diagnosed within 6 months of CRC between 2008 an
The international UN Climate Change conferences known as “Conferences of the Parties (COPs)” have an enormous convening power and are attended annually by tens of thousands of actors working on climate change topics from a wide range of perspectives. In the COP spaces outside of the formal negotiations, the communication culture is dominated by “side events,” a format that relies heavily on conven
AIM: To evaluate if the incidence of postoperative complications after gastrostomy placement is correlated to perioperative parameters or patient characteristics.METHODS: In this prospective observational study, children <18 years of age planned to receive a gastrostomy at partaking clinics between 2014 and 2019 were invited. Pre-, peri- and postoperative variables were collected and followed up 3
The social dimensions of resilience and their relationship with social capital have received little attention in climate change research. This article aims to provide an understanding of the structural, cognitive, and human rights-based interconnection of social capital and the social dimension of resilience. This article provides a rapid review of published studies on the social dimensions of res
Aim: Studies examining the long-term effects of neonatal music interventions on the cognition of children born preterm are scarce. We investigated whether a parental singing intervention before term age improves cognitive and language skills in preterm-born children. Methods: In this longitudinal, two-country Singing Kangaroo, randomised controlled trial, 74 preterm infants were allocated to a sin
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of face masks has increased among healthcare workers (HCWs). Questionnaire studies have shown a high frequency of self-reported facial adverse skin reactions. Case reports have been published on face mask-induced allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria. Objectives: To describe the results of the contact allergy investigations in consecutive HCWs
An inverse class D power amplifier and a class A power amplifier are designed at schematic level for 20 dBm power class and NB-IoT specification in 65 nm CMOS technology. A suitable switch mode supply modulator is also designed. Three different efficiency enhancement techniques namely EER, Hybrid EER and ET are studied and the suitable transmitters are simulated for each in Cadence Virtuoso. These
Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cau- se of death in children under five years old, and is responsible for killing around 525 000 children every year. The spread of diseases is also a problem in our western society. Thanks to our developed me- dical infrastructure not to the extent as in de- veloping countries. Nevertheless the amount of work and school hours missed because of preven
Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by
A proteoglycan is a protein with at least one glycosidic chain or glycosaminoglycan (GAG) covalently bound to it. Since a common linker between the core protein and the GAG chain has a xylose present, the biosynthesis of GAGs can be primed using xylosides containing hydrophobic aglycons providing that these xylosides are capable of penetrating the cell membrane. 2-naphthyl β-D-xylopyranoside prim
I slutet av 2014 hade 38 miljoner människor runt om i världen flytt sina hem till följd av krig, konflikt och våld. Att rädda liv och minska lidandet för dessa flyktingar är syftet med humanitärlogistik. Beredskap en nyckelroll i humanitära organisationer eftersom det är ett verktyg för att minska det negativa genomslaget av framtida händelser. En vanlig beredskapsåtgärd är att så kallad för-positAt the end of 2014, 38 million people around the world had fled their homes due to man-made disasters such as war, armed conflict and violence. To save the lives and alleviate the suffering of these refugees and displaced is the purpose of Humanitarian Logistics. Preparedness is of key importance in humanitarian organisations as it is a tool to reduce the impact of coming events. One common prepar
Over the course of almost four decades the world has been left vulnerable by the HIV epidemic. Displaying the biggest public health challenge currently, many scholars aim to further the understanding of the mechanisms of the spread of HIV. This study aims to contribute to the existing body of literature through adding a spatial aspect to research performed on HIV key drivers in Uganda. Furthermore
In Sweden, hypertension, is one of the most common reasons to attend primary care thus a Swedish public health problem of epic proportions. There is a general consensus about that effective antihypertensive treatment reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and premature death. Non-pharmacological treatment is advocated to be the basis of treatment. The caregiver is responsible for s
Närståendes närvaro hos patienter som är kritiskt sjuka underlättar enligt studier patienternas vistelse på intensivvårdsavdelningen. För att stödja och tillhandahålla information till de närstående bör personal på intensivvårdsavdelningar vara medvetna om närståendes uppfattningar. I Kanada har ett enkätformulär FS-ICU utvecklats för att undersöka närståendes tillfredsställelse med vården och med
In this paper we investigate the performance of Nordic hedge funds in terms of their ability to earn abnormal returns during the period 2003-2011. We further test for the presence of short-term persistence during the period of disturbed market conditions. The single-index and four-factor models are used in order to estimate the traditional performance measures for individual funds as well as for p
