The vascular system is vital for all tissues and the interest in its visualization spans many fields. A number of different plant-derived lectins are used for detection of vasculature; however, studies performing direct comparison of the labeling efficacy of different lectins and techniques are lacking. In this study, we compared the labeling efficacy of three lectins: Griffonia simplicifolia isol

Nowadays, transition metal oxide catalysts are employed to a large extent in many chemical processes for the selective production of chemicals and intermediates. Although metal oxides are mostly known as oxidation catalysts, they can successfully catalyze a wide range of reactions, such as dehydration. Two different processes have been studied in the present work: the selective oxidation of methan

Synchrotron radiation sources have greatly contributed to the progress in many fields of science. The development of the storage ring technologies have made possible to obtain very low emittance electron beams, which together with the use of undulators allow to guide a very high photon flux into a very small beam size required by the experiments. Development of sources has been accompanied with eq

The post examines connections between global North, and particularly European, efforts to address climate- and disaster-related displacement in climate vulnerable countries, and the externalization policies implemented by those same countries to prevent refugee and migratory movements.

Since the 1980s, China’s central government has created various model and incentive schemes aimed at systematically and concurrently promoting innovative approaches for protecting the urban ecological environment. In this context, programmes such as the ‘model city for protecting the environment’, ‘garden city’, ‘eco-city’, or ‘low-carbon city’ have become an integral part of China’s system for ur

Recognition of asthma as a heterogeneous disease revealed different potential molecular targets and urged the development of targeted, customized treatment modalities. Evidence was provided for different inflammatory subsets of asthma and more recently, further refined to T helper (Th)2-high and Th2-low subphenotypes with different responsiveness to standard and targeted pharmacotherapy. Given the

This article deals with the role of internationally co-authored papers (co-publications). Specifically, we compare, within a data-set of German research units, citation and co-publication indicators as a proxy for the unobserved quality dimension of scientific research. In that course we will also deal with the question whether both citations and co-publications are considerably related. Our resul

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a serious matter which threatens maternal and fetal health. The aim of this study was to develop a grounded theoretical model of women's experience of IPV during pregnancy and how they handle their situation. Method: Ten interviews with women who had experience of being exposed to IPV during pregnancy were analyzed using the grounded

For decades the largest part of European citizens has been dependant on State provided pensions. However, this safety net will not hold in the long run. Europe is going through a dramatic demographic change where the elderly group in the society is growing rapidly in size at the same time as the young generation is constantly decreasing. This change has a restraining effect on the public pension s

Boreal forests store the majority of their carbon in the soil and play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, the mechanisms that control carbon storage in boreal soils are not well understood. In recent studies, there has been a specific focus on how ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi influence carbon dynamics in boreal forests, particularly through their nitrogen acquisition. A major pa

Background: Social media has permeated practically every aspect of our everyday lives. One of these social media platforms is Instagram, which enables people to connect, communicate and share information with other users. The potential of these and social media influencers (SMI) to influence users’ behaviours is considerable. However, sustainability influencers, an emerging type of SMIs, have gain

Conformational entropies are of great interest when studying the binding of small ligands to proteins or the interaction of proteins. Unfortunately, there are no experimental methods available to measure conformational entropies of all groups in a protein. Instead, they are normally estimated from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, although such methods show problems with convergence and correla

The size and power of tests for smooth structural change are evaluated in the presence of random measurement error in the explanatory variable or outliers in the dependent variable of a univariate regression model. It is shown that the considered tests are robust to measurement error of a magnitude that can be found in real economic data. By contrast,outliers are found to distort both the size and

Excursions as field method Tisdag 17 oktober kl. 14.00-15.00 Konstnärerna Carl Johan Erikson and Karin Willén presenterar hur de använder ”matlagningsaktioner” för att sätta fokus på ett sönderfallande ekosystem, till exempel genom att servera sill fångad nära utloppet för det varma kylvattnet från Forsmarks kärnkraftverk eller korv gjord på vildsvin från samma område. Detta följs av diskussion me
