We describe the implementation of a biochemical model of isoprene emission that depends on the electron requirement for isoprene synthesis into the Farquhar-Ball-Berry leaf model of photosynthesis and stomatal conductance that is embedded within a global chemistry-climate simulation framework. The isoprene production is calculated as a function of electron transport-limited photosynthesis, interce

Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to a single X-ray dose of 30 Gy over the lungs and examined at 1-wk intervals during the following 3 to 8 wk. Mast cells were counted after specific staining with toluidine blue at a low pH and the mast-cell amines, histamine (Hi) and serotonin (5-HT), were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. Irradiation induced pneumonitis followed by pulmonary

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical value of human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) compared with free (f) and total (t) prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the early detection of prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS: In PCa screening conducted in 1995 to 1996 in Goteborg, Sweden, 5853 of 9811 randomly selected men (aged 50 to 66 years; median 61) accepted PSA testing; those with tPSA levels of 3. 0 ng/m

Paul Ricœur was widely regarded as one of the great contemporary French philosophers and as a leading intellectual who produced during his long life influential works in numerous scholar fields ranged from phenomenology and hermeneutics, psychoanalysis and poetics to theology and ethics. In his philosophical works he was deeply concerned with the meaning of life, in particular with our constant an

Factor VIII inhibitors may interfere with several important functional binding sites on the factor VIII molecule including that of von Willebrand factor, which binds to the C2 domain. There are in vitro and in vivo observations that inhibitors reacting against the factor VIII light-chain C2 domain may display a lower inhibitor titer against von Willebrand factor containing concentrates as compared

This essay is written about how parents experiences the meaning of the child’s diagnosis within the autismspectra. We wanted to recreate a picture of feelings and reflections that the parents have with the thought of the child’s diagnosis. It is the parentperspective as the essay treats in questions as: how is autism discovered? Who gives the answer about the diagnosis and how does it feel to get

Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) in the aquatic environment is of great ecological importance. In order to better understand and predict this fabulous orchestra of migrating biomass, the underlying behaviors behind each individual’s swimming tactics need to be better understood. While vertical migrating behaviors in animals such as zooplankton and fish have been deeply investigated, phytoplankton beh

The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding on how healthcare workers, particularly caregivers of elderly and dementia patients, are impacted by a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training and to explore the reasons a manager has for incorporating these types of trainings. Within the scope of this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with nine careg

The purpose of the study is to examine and gain an understanding of newly graduated social workers' experiences during the establishment phase as new social workers in social assistance. The study is based on a qualitative interview study where 6 newly graduated social workers on financial assistance from three different municipalities in southern Sweden have been interviewed. The results have

Syftet med studien är att kvalitativt undersöka hur väl en masterutbildning med finansiell inriktning förbereder en student för ett framtida arbete inom Investment Banking. Studien följer en kvalitativ metod där två empiriska källor ställs emot varandra för att urskilja likheter och skillnader. Innehållet för två universitetsutbildningar jämförs med praktisk tillämpning som sammanfattas av intervThe study aims to investigate how well a master programme within finance prepare a student for employment within Investment Banking. The study follows a qualitative method where the two empirical foundings are set against each other to distinguish similarities and differences. Two university programs are compared with a compilation of seven different interviews conducted with persons that are ope

Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av historiska data från perioden december 1996 – december 2010 testa en portföljvalsmodell kallad The Permanent Portfolio (TPP) på den svenska marknaden. Modellen går ut på att placera tillgängligt kapital i fyra lika stora delar över fyra olika tillgångsslag. Dessa fyra tillgångslag är aktier, statsobligationer, guld och kontanter. I uppsatsen gestaltas dessa

Family caregivers experience both positive and negative reactions in caregiving situations. There has been considerably less published about the positive aspects, however. The general aim of this study was to explore a previously developed instrument to study rewards gained by caregivers and to determine the factors associated with satisfaction in family members caring for patients with dementia l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Felaktig DNA-reparation av typen mismatch repair (MMR) uppkommer i 15-17% av cancer i tjock- och ändtarm (kolorektalcancer). MMR defekter är av betydelse i tre situationer: • MMR defekta tumörer har en bättre prognos än övrig tjock- och ändtarmscancer, vilket kan användas för att avgöra huruvida en patient skall erbjudas sk. adjuvant Mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency is carcinogenic and can either have somatic/sporadic causes (i.e. epigenetic silencing or somatic inactivation) or hereditary causes (Lynch syndrome due to a germline mutation in one of the MMR genes ¬- MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2). The identification of MMR defective colon cancer is clinically relevant for diagnostic, prognostic and potentially also for treatment-predi

Den nuvarande svenska regleringen beträffande det straffrättsliga ansvaret för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare är, i ett internationellt perspektiv, unik. I nästan alla med vårt land jämförbara länder uppställs, liksom även svensk rätt gjorde före brottsbalkens tillkomst år 1962, tillräknelighet såsom ett ytterligare krav för straffrättsligt ansvar. Grunden för en sådan inställning är den allmänt s

Arsenic is a very potent toxicant. One major susceptibility factor for arsenic-related toxicity is the efficiency of arsenic metabolism. The efficiency, in turn, is associated with non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arsenic methyltransferase AS3MT on chromosome 10q24. However, the mechanism of action for these SNPs is not yet clarified. Here, we assessed the influence of gene

The true revolution in the age of digital neuroanatomy is the ability to extensively quantify anatomical structures and thus investigate structure-function relationships in great detail. To facilitate the quantification of neuronal cell patterns we have developed RipleyGUI, a MATLAB-based software that can be used to detect patterns in the 3D distribution of cells. RipleyGUI uses Ripley's K-functi
