In computer work, musculoskeletal disorders are frequently reported, but the knowledge about causal relationships is limited. In air traffic control, female and male operators perform exactly the same computer work. Introduction of a new computer system implied a momentary change from a “varied” system containing different in-put devices, to a system characterized by intensive mouse-work. The effe
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although there have been numerous publications on lumbar disc herniation (LDH) treated surgically, there has been little interest in sex differences. It has been shown in many studies that sex differences may be important in certain diseases. We therefore reviewed consecutive register material from one institution for possible gender differences in pre- and postoperative pa
The exchange of carbohydrates and mineral nutrients in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis must be controlled by both partners in order to sustain an evolutionarily stable mutualism. Plants down-regulate their carbon flow to the fungus when nutrient levels are sufficient, while the mechanism controlling fungal nutrient transfer is unknown. Here we show that the fungus accumulates nutrients when c
Xylose fermentation in yeast has been a target of research for years, yet not all the factors that may affect xylose fermentation perfomance of yeast strains are known. In this study, the mutant S. cerevisiae strain TMB 3400, which has good xylose fermentation properties, was compared with its parental strain to examine the factors behind the improved xylose utilization at protein level. The prote
With more than 130,000 organizations worldwide certified according to ISO requirements, business people, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders have reason to wonder whether the purpose of ISO 14001, which is to help improve environmental performance, is being fulfilled.

Cue-conflict experiments were performed to study the compass calibration of one predominantly diurnal migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis), and two species of nocturnal passerine migrants, the sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus), and the European robin (Erithacus rubecula) during autumn migration in South Sweden. The birds' orientation was recorded in circular cages under natural clear
OBJECTIVE - Whole-grain foods are touted for multiple health benefits including enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing type 2 diabetes risk Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with fasting glucose and insulin concentrations in individuals free of diabetes We tested the hypothesis that whole-grain food intake an
Regional vegetation-climate modelling studies have typically focused on boreal or temperate ecosystems in North America and Europe, almost completely overlooking tropical ecosystems. We present the first results of simulated regional vegetation-climate dynamics in Middle America as simulated by the model, LPJ-GUESS. The Kappa statistic indicated poor agreement, with a Kappa value of 0.301. When we
De senaste åren har diskussioner gällande straffreduktion i förhållande till flerfaldig brottslighet förts både av politiker och privatpersoner. Att systemet med mängdrabatter är alltför fördelaktigt är ett återkommande argument. Kritiken ledde till att en utredning tillsattes för att se över strafflagstiftningen. Det, tillsammans med den mediala uppmärksamhet som bland annat den så kallade NytorgBoth politicians and private individuals have, in recent years, discussed the Swedish criminal system regarding penalty reduction in relation to multiple crimes. The system being too generous by giving the perpetrator high discounts is a recurring argument. After being criticized for several years, the Swedish government has appointed an investigator to review the Swedish legislation. This, along
Idrottsrörelsen och dess organisation är speciell. Den åtnjuter en stark autonomi i förhållande till det allmänna och har i högre grad än andra icke-statliga system stora likheter med nationella rättssystem avseende bl.a. reglernas omfattning. Samtidigt erhåller den stora resurser från det allmänna för att kunna bedriva rörelsen. Medlemmarna i en idrottsförening binds på avtalsrättslig grund av hi
