Linné glacier has retreated approximately 1.8 km since 1936 and 1 km between 1995 and 2019. Linné glacier is following the same trend as other glaciers around Svalbard. Linné glacier is a well-monitored glacier with a time series of air temperature, incoming solar radiation and snow height data since 2003. Annual recordings of the glacier margin from 2007, allows for an accurate reconstruction of

Background & Objective: Patients with mild hypothyroidism often are depressed and have impaired quality of life despite serum free-T4 and T3 within reference values. Therefore, we investigated whether their symptoms were dependent on the concentrations of free -T4 and T3 in the circulation and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Methods: Twenty-five newly diagnosed, untreated hypothyroid subjects and a

This work deals with the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic agricultural residues, by means of combined pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis, to be used for ethanol production. Four agricultural by-products, i.e. barley husk, wheat bran and the waste streams of a combined starch and ethanol factory, denoted wheat starch fibres and starch-free fibres B, were investigated. The starch in wheat bran and w

OBJECTIVE: Inter-regional comparison of health-reform outcomes in south-eastern Europe (SEE).METHODS: Macro-indicators were obtained from the WHO Health for All Database. Inter-regional comparison among post-Semashko, former Yugoslavia, and prior-1989-free-market SEE economies was conducted.RESULTS: United Nations Development Program Human Development Index growth was strongest among prior-free-ma

This dissertation ”The employees sins – the employment protection limits regarding addiction to alcohol, drugs and gambling” – aims at determining the situation under existing law for three different types of addiction: alcohol, drugs and gambling. The investigation is based on a legal dogmatic method and the cases are mainly from the Swedish Labour Court. Of great importance for the employment

1 Carl Linnaeus, prästsonen från Råshult i Småland, avlade mogenhetsexamen vid Katedralskolan i Växjö. Han skrev in sig som student vid Lunds universitet den 19 augusti 1727. Linnaeus bodde inackorderad hos lär- domsgiganten och medicinarprofessorn Kilian Stobaeus, som innehade den fastighet på vilken idag Dom- kyrkoforum ligger. Stobaeus hade en innehållsrik natu- raliesamling och ett stort bibli

Free radicals have recently been proposed to play a role in the development of diabetic retinopathy. Ischaemia and hyperglycaemia followed by recirculation have been suggested to initiate free radical production in other tissues and the aim of the present study was to examine whether this could also be the case in the retina. The present study showed retinal cell damage, as measured by pycnotic ce

Fatty acid analysis was used for determining the extent of the development of the external mycelium of AM fungi (mixed inoculum from a sand dune) growing from roots of Festuca rubra and Plantago lanceolata in calcareous dune sand. The plants were raised in chambers specially designed to permit the growth of AM mycelium in root-free compartments. In two separate experiments, growth of external myce

The molecular motion in water of the poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymer with the nominal composition EO97PO68EO97 (F127) was investigated with the aid of pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR). The signal decays in the PFG experiments have been recorded for 1 wt % F127 in the temperature range from 288 to 313 K and in the concentr

Abstract Preeclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication that affects 3-8% of all pregnancies leading to maternal- and fetal morbidity and mortality. The etiology is still not known in detail. Previous findings have shown an up regulation of the genes coding for fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in preeclamptic placentas. The cell-free HbF protein was shown to be accumulating in the vascular lumen, to induc

This paper focuses on the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the performance of seventeen control strategies in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). It tackles the importance of using site-specific factors for nutrient enrichment when decision-makers have to select best operating strategies. Therefore, the LCA evaluation is repeated for three different scenarios depending on the limita

BACKGROUND: It is reasonable to assume that conditions for learning differ between universities and countries. Increased understanding of similarities and differences of student's perceptions of learning environment can be useful in the development of the physiotherapy education as well as of the profession as such. Through international comparisons the benefits and challenges of educational progr

Background One way of preventing and solving drug-related problems in frail elderly is to perform team-based medication reviews. Objective To evaluate the quality of the clinical pharmacy service to primary care using structured medication reviews, focusing on the clinical significance of the recommendations made by clinical pharmacists. Setting A random sample of 150 patients (out of 1541) who re

The brain noradrenaline (NA) system is known to modulate ischemic neuronal damage, and the turnover of NA has been suggested to increase in the early recovery period following cerebral ischemia. Using HPLC and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry we analyzed the tissue levels of NA and its metabolites, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (DHPG) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (MHPG), in

Free plasma thyroxine (FT4) levels were measured in coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, during parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) using an equilibrium dialysis system followed by a radioimmunoassay. The FT4 data were correlated to total plasma thyroxine (TT4), triiodothyronine (TT3), and growth hormone (GH). Plasma samples were taken weekly from early April to late May, when the salmon wher

Context: The key role of serum estradiol (E2) for bone health in men is well established. The effect of serum sex steroids on bone microstructure, measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography, remains unknown in elderly men. Objective: The objective of the study was to examine the associations between serum sex steroids and bone microstructural parameters in older men. M
