This is an investigation into the differences and similarities concerning playing techniques of the quena (Andes end-blown flute) and the siku (Andes panpipes) b
The aim of this Master's thesis is to study the public library identity from a brand perspective, how the public library brand identitity is communicated through blogs and what is communicated in them. The authors analyse the public library identity through selected concepts and a model within Aaker´s and Kapferer´s branding theories. These theories have been applied on literature and blogs a

Syftet med studein är att studera Coding Technologies och hur det som litet företag har etablerat en högteknologisk standard på en marknad dominerad av stora aktörer. Resultatet av detta ska vara att identifiera viktiga faktorer och visa på strategier ett litet företag kan använda i denna situation. Studien är genomförd i form av en fallstudie med djupintervjuer där den teoretiska referensramen ar
Let C be the unit circle in R2. We can view C as a plane graph whose vertices are all the points on C, and the distance between any two points on C is the length of the smaller arc between them. We consider a graph augmentation problem on C, where we want to place k⩾1 shortcuts on C such that the diameter of the resulting graph is minimized. We analyze for each k with 1⩽k⩽7 what the optimal set of
The physical proximate composition and physicochemical characteristics, microbiological stability, and in vitro alpha-amylolysis rate of flours produced by conventional dehydration techniques of the edible portions of the aroids Xanthosoma sagittifolium and Colocasia esculenta were investigated. Flours from the edible portion of both tubers did not show significant statistical differences in moist
We review recent results on chiral SU(2)L ×SU(2)R ≈ O(4) and U(1)A symmetry restoration in QCD. In particular, we discuss how Ward Identities allow one to derive general results on partner degeneration, which shed light on the distinction between the O(4) and O(4) ×U(1)A patterns of the chiral transition. For that purpose, susceptibilities associated with the O(4) and U(1)A symmetries are studied.
A broad range of rare inherited metabolic disorders can present with dystonia. For clinicians, it is important to recognize dystonic features, but it can be complicated by the mixed and complex clinical picture seen in many neurometabolic patients. Careful phenotyping is the first step towards the diagnosis of the underlying condition and subsequent targeted treatment, further supported by imaging
Objective: The introduction of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has significantly improved the life-span of Hurler patients (mucopolysaccharidosis type I-H, MPS I-H). Yet, the musculoskeletal manifestations seem largely unresponsive to HSCT. In order to facilitate evidence based management, the aim of the current study was to give a systematic overview of the orthopaedic complication
Chronic liver disease (CLD) is frequently seen in the hemophilia population. The ADVANCE Working Group conducted a cross-sectional study in which people with hemophilia (PWH) aged ≥40 years were included. This study aimed to assess the associations between CLD and its risk factors using data from the H3 study, and to suggest implications for optimal care.Data from 13 European countries were collec
Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends
The synthesis and characterization of three ligands and their respective heterobinuclear FeIIIZnII complexes were carried out, with the goal of mimicking the active site of purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). The ligand 2-hydroxy-3-(((2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino)methyl)benzyl)(pyridin-2ylmethyl)amino)methyl)-5-methylbenzaldehyde (H2L2) was synthesized and i
We present an analysis of regulatory activities in historical commons offering a unique picture of their long-term institutional dynamics. The analysis took into account almost 3,800 regulatory activities in eighteen European commons in two countries across seven centuries. Despite differences in time and space, we found a shared pattern where an initial, highly-dynamic institutional-definition ph
Considering the widespread contaminations of food products with mycotoxins, it is important to develop, robust, time- and cost-effective detection methods. We developed and optimized an immunoassay using a continuous flow system for the detection of zearalenone (ZEN). The assay was performed in a flow mode using an automated sequential injection system. Time for an assay cycle was 18 Min. Under op
It is known for more than 100 years that the intestinal microbes are important for the host's health and the last decade this is being intensely studied with a focus on the mechanistic aspects. Among the fundamental functions of the intestinal microbiome are the priming of the immune system, the production of essential vitamins and the energy harvest from foods. By now, several dozens of diseases,
The outstanding success of structural biology within the last two decades is closely related to the development and evolution of macromolecular crystallography (MX) beamlines. Indeed, many of today's synchrotron-based MX experimental sessions aim for fast but rigorous evaluations and data collections from very large numbers of samples [1–7]. To facilitate this, sample changing on most MX beamlines
Gardens are important habitats for pollinators, providing floral resources and nesting sites. There are high levels of public support for growing ‘pollinator-friendly’ plants but while plant recommendation lists are available, they are usually inconsistent, poorly supported by scientific research and target a narrow group of pollinators. In order to supply the most appropriate resources, there is
A semi-empirical method inspired by Blomqvist's (1969) previous calculations of the excitation energy of the lowest 9/2- state of 201Tl is applied to similar calculations in different Tl, Au and Ir isotopes. These semi-empirical estimates agree well with the experimental values of the excitation energies as well as with the energy differences deduced from the analysis of the total potential energy
