Haemoproteus blood parasites of birds are thought to be relatively benign. Recent findings show that infections may develop in the brain of birds, possibly distorting their orientation sense. Misdirected migration may lead migrants outside their range where they are recognized as vagrants and can transmit parasites to novel hosts.
Poland and polish courts have been the subject of much attention during recent years, because of alleged problems in relation to the organisation of justice in Poland. It has been claimed that new suggested legislation in Poland, and changes in the system for appointing judges, prevents courts in Poland from adjudicating justice in a fair and independent manner in accordance with the Rule of Law.
Background: There has been a global increase in the number of people who are dying of old age. This development implies a need for good palliative care among older persons at the end of life. Here nursing homes have an important role to play. However, the principles of palliative care have not been sufficiently applied in nursing homes, and there is a need to increase the implementation of palliat
Despite decades of research on the pathophysiology of depression, the development of new therapeutic interventions has been slow, and no biomarkers of treatment response have been clinically implemented. Several lines of evidence suggest that the clinical and biological heterogeneity among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) has hampered progress in this field. MDD with low-grade inflamm
The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors on the depolarization associated with severe hypoglycemia, which is commonly preceded by one or a few transient depolarizations reminiscent of cortical spreading depression (CSD). In the cerebral cortices of rats [K+](e) and [Ca2+](e) were measured with ion-selective microelectrodes. NMD
Lignin is the second most abundant naturally produced organic polymer on earth. Lignin‐modifying enzymes (LMEs) are produced by the white‐rot fungi as products of secondary metabolism, since lignin degradation does not provide any energy to the fungus. The main oxidative enzymes include the peroxidases‐lignin peroxidase (LiP) (diarylpropane: oxygen, hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase), manganese per
Baserat på fullständiga sammanställningar av subskriptionerne på 2 Timoteusbrevet i 485 grekiska manuskript, presenterar denna studie texttraditionen och utvecklingen av dessa subskriptioner och förklarar deras förhållande till andra subskriptioner, paratexter, de interna material i 1–2 Timoteus, Apostlagärningarna och det bredare. kyrkohistoria. Studien spårar källan/källorna bakom traditionen atBased on full collations of the subscriptions to 2 Timothy in 485 Greek manuscripts, this study presents the textual tradition and development of these subscriptions and explains their relationship to other subscriptions, paratexts, the internal evidence in 1–2 Timothy, Acts, and the wider church history. The study tracks the source(s) behind the tradition that the letter was sent to Timothy, inst
Model tests have shown that by building a shallow dam at the outlet the discharge from the upper reservoir can be distributed over such a large width that the kinetic energy is dissipated before the flow reaches levels deeper than 10 m. Since the summer thermocline is situated at 15 m and the epilimnion is homothermal the discharge does not affect the thermal stratification of the lake during the
Long life requires individuals to defend themselves against pathogens over prolonged periods of time whilst minimising damage to themselves. In vertebrates, pathogen defence is provided by two integrated systems, innate and adaptive immunity. Innate immunity is relatively nonspecific, resulting in collateral damage to hosts, and does not involve canonical immunological memory. In contrast, adaptiv
In 1798 the Royal Academy of Science instituted a classification of its members, designating the last class to be filled by those engaged with world of learning and beautiful arts. This study maps the population of this “erudite class” and analyzes the negotiation of epistemic virtues and merits linked to the nebulous field from which the class drew its members. The article argues that a previous
Kan civila som blivit måltavla för krigshandlingar försonas med sina före detta fiender? Denna studie analyserar muntligt gestaltade erfarenheter hos före detta lägerfångar som frihetsberövades i början av kriget i Bosnien-Hercegovina under 1990-talet och placerades i koncentrationslägerna Omarska, Keraterm och Manjaca. Efter kriget har fångarna tagit sin tillflykt till de nordiska länderna. StuIs it possible for civilians, who have been targets of war action, to reconcile with their former enemies? In this study I am analyzing the stories told by former camp-prisoners who were imprisoned at the beginning of the Bosnia-Herzegovina war in the early 1990’s. These prisoners were detained in the concentration-camps of Omarska, Keraterm and Manjača. The former prisoners took refuge in the Nor
In a recently conducted interview study, some survivors of traffic victims rate their home as the most important place for remembrance, compared to both the accident site and the burial plot. The reason for this evaluation appears to be the place’s ability to bring about a positive presence of the deceased. Supported by photographs and personal objects, the home serves as a constant reminder, and
