While photosynthesis thrives at close to normal pressures and temperatures, it is presently well known that life is similarly commonplace in the hostile environments of the deep seas as well as around hydrothermal vents. It is thus imperative to understand how key biological processes perform under extreme conditions of high pressures and temperatures. Herein, comparative steady-state and picoseco

Background and purpose — Little is known on the use of metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS) MRI to diagnose osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) after fixation of femoral neck fractures (FNF) with conventional metal implants present. We compared MARS MRI with radiography in diagnosing ONFH. Secondarily, we determined whether signs of ONFH on MARS MRI correlate with patient-reported outcome

Purpose: WST11 vascular targeted photodynamic therapy (VTP) is a local ablation approach relying upon rapid, free radical-mediated destruction of tumor vasculature. A phase III trial showed that VTP significantly reduced disease progression when compared with active surveillance in patients with low-risk prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to identify a druggable pathway that could be combi

The microphysical quasi-equilibrium in an ascending adiabatic parcel is elucidated by an analytical theory in 0D with drastic simplifications. The theory predicts how in-cloud activation is most likely to be triggered by the onset of precipitation during sufficient ascent, with the ascent only needing to approach almost twice the cloud-base updraft speed aloft. The precipitation and cloud condensa

Background: The prescribed radiation dose to patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is standardized, even if the prognosis for individual patients may differ. Easy-at-hand pre-treatment risk stratification methods are valuable to individualize therapy. In the current study we assessed the prognostic impact of primary tumor volume for p16-positive and p16-negative tumors and in

Liquid hydrogen is a promising energy carrier due to its excellent performance. However, liquid hydrogen sloshing usually causes serious issues on its safety production, storage, transportation, application and management. To study fluid sloshing in cryogenic storage tanks, a numerical calculation model is developed with considerations of the environmental heat leakage and phase change occurring a

Although there are many technological solutions and policy approaches for transitioning to a fossil-free society, effective action is still lacking. We need a new way to address the issue, one that inspires and attracts the widest possible group of society. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to explore citizens' political agency in influencing transport policy, and the inner and out

OBJECTIVE: Arterial ageing is characterized by increasing arterial stiffness as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV). This process is enhanced in participants with early vascular ageing (EVA), but slowed in participants with healthy vascular ageing (HVA). We aimed to describe characteristics of EVA and HVA in a transcontinental study including 11 cohorts.METHODS: In all, 18 490 participants from

Den här studien undersöker källor och effekt av kortsiktiga miljöförändringar genom studier av sedimentärt organiskt material (OM) i Gullmarsfjorden. En sedimentsekvens (sedimentationshastighet 0.7 cm år-1) från den djupaste delen av fjorden analyserades i hög upplösning med flera olika geokemiska metoder applicerat på OM med fokus på komposition av biomarkörer. Fördelningen av n-alkener uppvisadeIn this study I will assess sources and effects of short-term environmental changes on the sedimentary organic matter in Gullmar Fjord. To achieve this, a high resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate 0.7 cm yr -1) was retrieved from the deepest part in the fjord and analyzed with multiple geochemical methods, targeting bulk organic matter and biomarker composition. The distribution of n-alkan

Ståndssamhället var den enskilt viktigaste aspekten av det politiska livet i Sverige under 1600- och 1700-talet. I grunden baserad på religiös övertygelse nyttjades ståndssamhället för att kategorisera människor juridiskt och ge dem deras roll i samhället. Adeln, prästerna, borgarna och bönderna presenteras tillsammans med deras privilegier och deras utveckling och successiva förändring. UppsatsenThe community of estates was the most important aspect of the political sphere in Sweden during the 17th and 18th century. It was based on religious beliefs and was used to categorize peoples in a legal way and give them their purpose in society. The aristocracy, the priests, the bourgeois and the peasants are being presented together with their privileges and their development and gradual reforma

Vad gör vi när avgaser och cigarettrök förstört våra lungor? Vad gör vi när behovet av friska lungdonatorer blir för stort? Vi försöker tillverka lungor i labbet såklart! Våra lungor utsätts dagligen för avgaser och andra skadliga ämnen som finns i luften runt omkring oss. För det mesta kan kroppen reparera skadan på egen hand, men allteftersom påfrestningarna blir för stora höjs risken att missThe demand of healthy functional lungs is increasing, requiring a greater need of knowledge about lung tissue regeneration and repair. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) – polysaccharide sidechains found on proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – are believed to be involved in several processes in the lung including cell proliferation, cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. We have developed a

Internationella dataöverföringar stödjer den globala ekonomin, underlättar internationellt samarbete och främjar ekonomisk expansion. Denna ökade produktivitet innehåller dock risker, nämligen stora risker för kränkningar av den personliga integriteten. I en tid som domineras av tekniska framsteg har regeringar, inom EU och i tredjeländer, potential att överträda individers integritet på en nära gInternational data transfers serve to support the global economy, facilitating international collaboration and economic expansion. However this increased productivity comes at a cost, namely amplified personal data privacy and security risks. In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the clandestine actions of intelligence agencies have the potential to infringe upon the privacy and
