Starch granules are an interesting stabilizer candidate for food-grade Pickering emulsions. The stabilizing capacity of seven different intact starch granules for making oil-in-water emulsions has been the topic of this screening study. The starches were from quinoa; rice; maize; waxy varieties of rice, maize, and barley; and high-amylose maize. The starches were studied in their native state, hea

The German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) is home to one of the most important industrial regions in Europe, and is the first German state to have adopted its own Climate Protection Law (CPL). This paper describes the long-term (up to 2050) mitigation scenarios for NRW's main energy-intensive industrial sub-sectors which served to support the implementation of the CPL. It also descr

Background: Poly-3-d-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) that is a promising precursor for bioplastic with similar physical properties as polypropylene, is naturally produced by several bacterial species. The bacterial pathway is comprised of the three enzymes β-ketothiolase, acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (AAR) and PHB synthase, which all together convert acetyl-CoA into PHB. Heterologous expression of the pathway

Aim: To determine the importance of different biogeographical processes (vicariance, dispersal, long-distance dispersal and establishment or LDDE) for the current distribution of metalmark moths, a group of small insects, using a time-calibrated molecular tree. Location: Global. Methods: We sampled 104 species of metalmark moths with representatives from all six major biogeographical regions of th

Decrease of saline lakes, which comprise 44% of all available lake water, is a major concern. It additionally accelerates the desertification process of the region. Thus, various countries have taken different actions in protecting their lake water levels. The aim of this paper is to assess different strategies directed to tackle the decreased lake water levels in Lake Urmia and the Aral Sea, whic

Introduction Measure and monitor adverse events (AEs) following hip arthroplasty is challenging. The aim of this study was to create a model for measuring AEs after hip arthroplasty using administrative data, such as length of stay and readmissions, with equal or better precision than an ICD-code based model. Materials and methods This study included 1 998 patients operated with an acute or electi

Four compounds, tetradecyl acetate, (Z)‐9‐tetradecenyl acetate, (E)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate were identified from female sex pheromone extracts of Hungarian and Egyptian lima‐bean pod borers (Etiella zinckenella Tr., Lepidoptera: Phycitidae) by gas chromatography with flame ionization (FID) and electroantennographic (EAD) detection. In EAG studies these monounsaturat

In English Language Teaching in Sweden, the entextualized ideology is monolingual, i.e., English Only (Hult, 2017; Lundahl, 2012). Evidence from a large-scale classroom observation study (Swedish Schools Inspectorate, 2011) and a smaller-scale classroom-interaction study (Authors 3 & 4 2016) reveals a de facto bilingual policy of both English and Swedish enacted in classrooms, however. As stud

Background: Long-term use of opioid analgesics (OA) for chronic pain may result in opioid use disorder (OUD). This is associated with adverse outcomes for individuals, families and society. Treatment needs of people with OUD related to chronic pain are different compared to dependence related to use, and also injection, of illicit opioids. In Nordic countries, day-to-day practical advice to assist

Timescale uncertainties between paleoclimate reconstructions often inhibit studying the exact timing, spatial expression and driving mechanisms of climate variations. Detecting and aligning the globally common cosmogenic radionuclide production signal via a curve fitting method provides a tool for the quasi-continuous synchronization of paleoclimate archives. In this study, we apply this approach

The occurrence of coprostanol in soil, surface, and groundwater has recently been reported in several studies. Coprostanol indicates the presence of feces from mammals. For this reason, it is important to establish adsorption behavior in different kinds of geologic media. To our knowledge, we present for the first-time adsorption behavior of coprostanol in soil, sediment, and sand and an estimatio

Background: Mutations in the CDH1 and the role of E-cadherin proteins are well established in gastric cancer. Several in silico tools are available to predict the pathogenicity of the mutations present in the genes with varying efficiency and sensitivity to detect the pathogenicity of the mutations. Objective: Our objective was to identify somatic pathogenic variants in CDH1 involved in Gastric Ca

Objective: An artefact-free electrocardiogram (ECG) is essential during cardiac arrest to decide therapy such as defibrillation. Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) devices cause movement artefacts that alter the ECG. This study analyzes the effectiveness of mechanical CPR artefact suppression filters to restore clinically relevant ECG information. Approach: In total, 495 10 s ECGs were

This thesis defends a hedonistic theory of value consisting of two main components. Part 1 offers a theory of pleasure. Pleasures are experiences distinguished by a distinct phenomenological quality. This quality is attitudinal in nature: it is the feeling of liking. The pleasure experience is also an object of this attitude: when feeling pleasure, we like what we feel, and part of how it feels is

Konsekvenserna av att missbedöma framtida försäljning kan för en restaurang vara förödande. Optimistiska prognoser kan leda till överbemanning och matsvinn. Å andra sidan kan pessimistiska prognoser leda till att personal måste ringas in i sista stund vilket skapar en dålig arbetsmiljö för de anställda. I en undersökning från Hotell- och Restaurangfacket angav 59 % att de har problem att planera sWithin the restaurant industry it is common practice to plan staffing and purchases of perishable goods based on intuition. Inaccurate predictions of demand and sales lead to poor working environments and food waste, both being significant challenges for the industry. While digitalization and innovation has enabled accurate data driven sales forecasting methods, many players in the restaurant indu

Omkring 10% av Sveriges befolkning lider av kronisk njursjukdom. För de flesta patienter med långt gången, så kallad terminal njursjukdom är njurtransplantation den bästa behandlingen, både för patientens livskvalitet och ur ett hälsoekonomiskt perspektiv. Många patienter som har en villig donator passar inte med denna på grund av icke kompatibla blodgrupper eller för att de har antikroppar mot
