Background: Serial transverse enteroplasty facilitates weaning from parenteral support in selected patients with short bowel syndrome, although repeated procedure is frequently required. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome of a series of patients after serial transverse enteroplasty and define predictors of repeated serial transverse enteroplasty and weaning off parenteral support. Methods: All ch
This report outlines the potential for a more structured and strategic relationship between the European Union and the Islamic Republic of Iran following the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). To both address areas of disagreement and complaints, as well as pursue common interests and matters of mutual benefit, the EU needs to put in place an institutional framework that can withstand the
In most studies on technology change, the analysis of cost reductions of new energy technologies has been narrow and has often neglected essential processes related to the deployment of new technologies, such as photovoltaics (PV). However, in the case of distributed PV systems, other costs than for the PV modules – aka the deployment or balance-of-system costs – are significant. This review study
Background: This is an update of the Cochrane review published in 2002. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialised countries. Experimental evidence has supported the hypothesis that dietary fibre may protect against the development of CRC, although epidemiologic data have been inconclusive. Objectives: To assess the effect of dietary fibre on the recurren
The concept of a bioeconomy can be understood as an economy where the basic building blocks for materials, chemicals, and energy are derived from renewable biological resources. Biorefineries are considered an integral part of the development toward a future sustainable bioeconomy. The purpose of this literature review is to synthesize current knowledge about how biorefinery technologies are being
Studying successional processes and related factors in salt marshes encompasses both fundamental (community structuration) and applied (biodiversity conservation and restoration) issues. Current managed realignment projects and sites where, in the past, large storm events led to breaches in embankments create unique experimental conditions for such challenges by re-instating tidal inundation and s
The aim of this study is to analyse the Swedish national curriculum from a Marxist perspective. I aim to examine how a Marxist reading can aid in our understanding of not only the document itself and the ideological views portrayed in it, but also the implications this has for English teachers in Sweden today. The schooling which takes place in classrooms, as well as outside of them, is political
The demand for organic products is high in France, and the amount of land under organic production is increasing. This is due to the Organic Certification label, that helps to bring up the price and attractiveness of organic goods, and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that provides farmers funds and assistance. However, organic farmers in France still struggle to make ends meet which is detrim
The estimation of a country’s greenhouse gas emissions has appropriately calculated the total footprint of a nation. However, when such estimates are brought down to the level of each economic activity, they do not reflect the total consumption pattern of a sector by not taking intersectoral relationships into account. Therefore, this study has two major purposes: (1) to estimate the greenhouse ga
Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
Under de senaste 30 åren har migrationsförvar (Engelska: Detention centers) blivit metoden att föredra när det gäller hanteringen av migrationsströmmarna i flera länder inom Europeiska Unionen (EU). I samband med den ökade användningen har det även skett en förändring från att stater har ett slags monopol gällande hanteringen av migrationsfunktioner till att stater delegerar (Engelska: Outsource) In the last three decades, detention centers have become the preferred method to manage the migration flow in multiple states within the European Union (EU). In correlation to the increasing use of detention centers, there has been a shift from states having a type of monopoly on migration management functions, to an increase of states outsourcing their responsibility to private companies. When st
OBJECTIVE-To develop a model for the prediction of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk on the basis of a multivariate logistic model and 1-h plasma glucose concentration (1-h PG). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-The model was developed in a cohort of 1,562 non-diabetic subjects from the San Antonio Heart Study (SAHS) and validated in 2,395 nondiabetic subjects in the Botnia Study. A risk score on the
Poly-3-d-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a promising biopolymer naturally produced by several bacterial species. In the present study, the robust baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered to produce PHB from xylose, the main pentose found in lignocellulosic biomass. The PHB pathway genes from the well-characterized PHB producer Cupriavidus necator were introduced in recombinant S. cerevisiae
We present an electrode, based on structurally controlled nanowires, as a first step towards developing a useful nanostructured device for neurophysiological measurements in vivo. The sensing part of the electrode is made of a metal film deposited on top of an array of epitaxially grown gallium phosphide nanowires. We achieved the first functional testing of the nanowire-based electrode by perform
To support learning, a sense of trust between student and teacher is required. This assumption is discussed in relation to three human conditions: the biological, the moral and the political. In the oral space of the classroom, teachers and students are dependent on these preconditions when asking: What is a we? What are we doing? What are we making? How emulation and the presence of trust play in
