5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a product of catalytic dehydration of C6 sugars, is a versatile and key renewable platform chemical. The possibility to use a high substrate concentration with high yield in a single-solvent system is one of the solutions to reduce solvent usage, energy consumption, reaction volume, and operating cost. A heterogeneous catalyst and single-solvent system were employed

Background: Physical and biological properties of dust particles might affect the availability and distribution of chemicals associated to indoor dust; however it has not been adequately examined. In this study, household dust from Shanghai was fractionated into five particle sizes and size distribution, morphology, surface area, organic matter, microorganisms, elemental composition, metals and or

In order to investigate whether oxidative damage is associated with differences in antioxidant intake, we measured the levels of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) in lymphocytes and α-tocopherol and several carotenoids in plasma of women with different dietary habits. We found that women from Granada (Spain), a region with a typically Mediterranean diet, had significantly higher leve

Objective: To enable early prediction of strong traction force vacuum extraction. Design: Observational cohort. Setting: Karolinska University Hospital delivery ward, tertiary unit. Population and sample size: Term mid and low metal cup vacuum extraction deliveries June 2012 - February 2015, n = 277. Methods: Traction forces during vacuum extraction were collected prospectively using an intelligen

BACKGROUND: Quantifying bone mineral density (BMD) on CT using commercial software demonstrates good-to-excellent correlations with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) results. However, previous techniques to measure Hounsfield units (HUs) within the proximal femur demonstrate less successful correlation with DEXA results. An effective method of measuring HUs of the proximal femur from CT colo

The semiarid Punata alluvial fan is located in the central part of Bolivia. The main activity of this region is the extensive agriculture, and groundwater is the main water supply. Local villagers who use groundwater reported that in some places groundwater has a salty taste. In order to investigate the origin of this problem, several TEM soundings were performed in the study area, and they were c

Socioeconomic status (SES) differences in health are well known. Both material and psychosocial hypotheses regarding these SES differences have been forwarded. Social capital (trust, social participation) may be seen as a contextual and social extension of this debate with access to healthcare as one of the four hypothesized mechanisms between high social capital and health.

For over 30 years GIS has been a major theme in archaeology, leading scholars to debate the way geo-spatial platforms can contribute to a better understanding of the ancient landscape and a more thorough interpretation of the archaeological record. Recently, the introduction of more advanced software and hardware solutions have made it possible to use GIS for visualizing and analysing even geometr

Background: While cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is the gold-standard psychological treatment for major depression (MD), non-response and lacking stability of treatment gains are persistent issues. Potential factors influencing treatment outcome might be lifetime trauma history and possibly associated primarily prefrontal-cortex- and hippocampus-dependent cognitive alterations. Method: We inve

The aim of this paper is to present the construction of a male genetic linkage map as a result of the bovine genome mapping project, which is a common effort of the German cattle breeding federation (ADR), four animal breeding institutes, three blood group laboratories and two animal data and breeding value evaluation centres. In total 20 grandsires with 1074 sires were provided from the German ca

Background: Hyperuricemia (HU) is in the causal pathway for developing clinical gout. There are few population-based assessments of the absolute and relative risk of clinically diagnosed incident gout in subjects with HU. We aimed to explore the long-term risk of developing incident gout among asymptomatic adults with different levels of serum urate (SU). Methods: Malmö Preventive Project was a po

Different methods can be used to define healthy vascular ageing (HVA). In this prospective cohort study, we explored three different definitions in order to provide guidance for which to use. 2718 subjects were included from the Cardiovascular (CV) arm of the Malmö Diet Cancer Study (MDCS; median age 71.9 years, 62.2% females). Three different definitions of HVA were used: HVA-1 (<15th percentile

Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka huruvida RFID-tekniken och streckkodsläsning i Androidtelefoner gick att tillämpa i en biblioteksmiljö. Fem bibliotekarier intervjuades för att utreda vilka funktioner som hade varit av värde i det vardagliga arbetet. Utvecklingen skedde i Android Studio med Java där verktyg som Gradle och J-Unit användes. CI/CD tillämpades i utvecklingsprocessen. En weThe purpose of this study was to examine the possibility of implementing RFID and barcode scanning in mobile Android phones for usage in a library setting. In order to investigate the functions that would be useful to librarians in their daily work, five interviews were conducted with said target group. Development was made with Java in Android Studio with tools such as Gradle and J-Unit. CI/CD w

This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i

Denna rapport utforskar ett nytt open-source-baserat verktyg inom turbindesign tillsammans med ett komplett flödesberäkningsprogram. Detta arbete utfördes hos Volvo Trucks med applicering mot deras turbocompound-turbin. för att undersöka möjligheterna att implementera en elektrifierad turbocompound-turbin. Resultatet är en god arbetsmetodik inom turbindesign tillsammans med två möjliga framtida elTurbomachinery design is based on multiple physical thermodynamical relations and fluid mechanics. Software implementing these relations in computing fluid flows have been broadly accessible since the 1990’s and has also become more applied to turbomachinery design. However, the software is unfortunately a large expense on research and development departments. Cambridge Professor Emeritus John D.

I Sverige minskar den biologiska mångfalden och antalet hotade arter ökar. Ett av de största hoten mot dessa arter och mot biologisk mångfald är förändringar i livsmiljöer. Trots detta fortsätter skogar med höga naturvärden att avverkas och andelen biologiskt skyddsvärd skog minskar. I uppsatsen utreds de EU-rättsliga artskyddsbestämmelserna i fågeldirektivet och habitatdirektivet, och den svensBiodiversity decreases in Sweden and the number of endangered species is increasing. One of the biggest threats to endangered species and biodiversity are changes in natural habitats. Despite this, forests that provide essential natural value, are continuously cut. This paper presents the national and regional EU species protection provisions in the Bird Directive and Habitats Directive and natio

Understanding the bacterial growth process – apical growth Have you ever thought about chopping yourself in half? Separating a limb maybe? If you haven’t – I don’t blame you – it would be pretty weird. But this isn’t about you or me – it’s about bacteria – and they are pretty weird. The different ways bacteria grow and proliferate are pretty diverse – one interesting, although a bit saner – is a
