This chapter explores the Nordic countries’ attempts to reconcile their environmental front-runner ambitions with their high productivity as advanced welfare states. On the one hand, the Nordics have taken leading positions in promoting environmental issues on the international stage. On the other hand, however, their high productivity, which is needed to support their welfare aspirations, has mad
In order to investigate new materials for metal cutting applications, cubic boron nitride, cutting tools with different amounts of binder phase were sintered in HPHT toroid type apparatus under 7.7 GPa and in temperature range of 1450-2450°C. Initial mixtures of three composition were chosen with 50, 60, 65 vol. % of cBN, 5 vol. % of Al was added to mixture to prevent oxidation. Phase composition,
Ecological differences between the sexes are often interpreted as evidence of within-species ecological character displacement (ECD), a hypothesis with almost no direct tests. Here, we experimentally test two predictions that are direct corollaries of ECD between the sexes, in a salamander. First, we find support for the prediction that each sex has a growth rate advantage in the aquatic microhabi
Avhandlingen undersöker olika faktorer som påverkar livsvillkoren för unga svenskar med invandrarbakgrund. Genom att undersöka hur ungdomar föreställer sig sin framtid och vägen dit syftar studien till att ge insikt i hur ungdomar ser på sina livsmöjligheter. Avhandlingen diskuterar hur individer genom sina sociala nätverk (socialt kapital) och medverkan i olika kulturella aktiviteter (kulturellt The dissertation examines the determinants of life chances among young people with immigrant background in Sweden. The dissertation includes four research papers, each examining a specific research question on a determinant of life chances. The studies are based on datasets from two surveys: the Social Capital and Labour Market Integration survey, and a longitudinal study of ten schools in Malmö.S
Nonelderly hip fracture patients have gathered little scientific attention, and our understanding of the group may be biased by patient case-mix and lack of follow-up. Preconceptions may thwart adequate investigation of bone health and other comorbidities. This literature review focusses on who these patients between 20 and 60 years are, how to treat them and how to evaluate the outcome. 2–11% of
Structural characterization of glycosaminoglycans remains a challenge but is essential for determining structure-function relationships between glycosaminoglycans and the biomolecules with which they interact and for gaining insight into the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans. We have recently reported that xyloside-primed chondroitin/dermatan sulfate derived from a human breast carcinoma cell lin
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of ocular RS1 adeno-associated virus (AAV8-RS1) gene augmentation therapy to the retina of participants with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). XLRS is a monogenic trait affecting only males, caused by mutations in the RS1 gene. Retinoschisin protein is secreted principally in the outer retina, and its absence results in retinal cavities, synaptic dysfu
Aim: The impact of BL11282, an imidazoline receptor (NISCH) agonist, on potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from isolated human non-diabetic (ND) and type 2 diabetic (T2D) islets was investigated. Methods: Analysis of mRNA was performed by RNA-sequencing and qPCR. Insulin and cAMP by RIA and ELISA respectively. Results: RNA-sequencing data revealed that NISCH is highly expr
The application of conventional organic solvents has been essential in several steps of bioprocesses in order to achieve sufficient economic efficiency. The use of organic solvents is frequently used either to partly or fully replace water in the reaction medium or as a process aid for downstream separation. Nowadays, manufacturers are increasingly requested to avoid and substitute solvents with h
Hur kan man minska onödig detaljstyrning och formalism och öka handlingsutrymmet för medarbetare och första linjens chefer i offentligt finansierad verksamhet? I denna antologi föreslås ett ramverk som utvecklar befintlig forskning och har ambitionen att förklara hur tillitsbaserad styrning och ledning kan förstås och översättas till en fungerande praktik. Boken rymmer fem konceptuella kapitel och
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the foundation of higher education policies that have promoted entrepreneurship in Sweden since the mid-1990s.Design/methodology/approachTo do this, the authors use Bacchi’s (1999) “What’s the problem?” approach. A central assumption of which is that perceptions of a problem affect how its solution looks. Bacchi’s approach is described as
