Background: COMP (Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein) is a matrix protein, which is currently studied as a potential serum marker for cartilage processes in osteoarthritis (OA). The influence of physical exercise on serum COMP is not fully elucidated. The objective of the present study was to monitor serum levels of COMP during a randomised controlled trial of physical exercise vs. standardised r

BACKGROUND: Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA) and tyrosine phosphatase antibodies (islet antigen-2 antibodies; IA-2A) are used in clinical practise to identify type 1 diabetes. METHODS: GADA and IA-2A were measured with RSR-ELISA kits in samples from 76 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic children and 120 healthy controls. The aim was to evaluate performance of RSR-ELISA kits for GADA and

Objective: This study evaluates the effect of food intake on commonly used pulsed Doppler and tissue Doppler measurements. Methods: Twenty-three healthy subjects aged 25.6 ± 4.5 years were investigated. A wide selection of pulsed Doppler and tissue Doppler variables were measured before a standardized meal as well as and 30 and 110 minutes afterwards. Results: The following variables increased si

Research funding is essential for promoting internationalization of science, technology and innovation. It is a key mechanism to advance international science, technology and innovation (STI) cooperation. This thesis argues that funding is a dominant driver of internationalization of science, technology and innovation but it is viewed as less than an optimal mechanism because of the trade-offs and

Forskningen i denna avhandling handlar i hög grad om att försöka härma kemin i jordens atmosfär. Den sista mätningen till denna avhandling gjordes för bara några veckor sedan, under ett fruktmellanmål tillsammans med mina barn. Jag bestämde mig för att testa ett otroligt påstående som säger att om jorden krymptes ihop till ett äpple är atmosfären lika tunn som äpplets skal. D.v.s.:tjocklek(äppleskApart from gases, the air we breath consist of tiny, so called, aerosol particles. A cubic metre of air in a relatively clean environment can consist of several billion aerosol particles. The impact of these particles on human health and on climate is significant. According to WHO, particles affect more humans than any other pollutant, and is closely related to mortality and morbidity. Further, it

Semiconductor nanowire (NW) solar cells with a single p-n junction have exhibited efficiency comparable to that of their planar counterparts with a substantial reduction in material consumption. Tandem geometry is a path toward the fabrication of devices with even higher efficiencies, for which a key step is the fabrication of tunnel (Esaki) diodes within NWs with the correct diameter, pitch, and

The causes and extent of regional inequality in the process of economic growth are at the core of historical economic research. So far, much attention has been devoted to studying the role of industrialization in driving regional divergence. But empirical studies on relatively unequal countries such as Italy or Spain show that inequality was already high when their modern industrialization began (

There are several occasions when you come into contact with agreements, for example when you receive research funding from an external funding body or participate in research collaborations with parties outside the University. Agreements are furthermore relevant when you publish your results, or turn your research into an innovation. Short cuts to content on this page:Who approves research-related

In this editorial, the author states that the importance of casting off blinders applies to topics and disciplines as much as to individuals. There is no disagreement in psychology that we are mostly ignorant of the various neurophysiological and cognitive substrates and limitations of our conscious experience, but there are other background processes that determine what, how, and even whether we

Ammonia/diesel dual-fuel compression-ignition engines are a promising solution for reducing carbon emissions in marine applications, yet their combustion efficiency and nitrogen-related emissions remain major challenges. In this study, combined numerical simulations and experiments were performed to investigate combustion characteristics and emissions in a two-stroke, low-speed ammonia/diesel dire

The Mediterranean subpopulation of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) is classified as Endangered by the IUCN, yet the western Ionian Sea, a key corridor connecting the eastern and western Mediterranean sub-populations, remains a data-poor region for cetacean monitoring. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) offers an effective approach for long-term surveillance of this deep-diving species, but la

This thesis describes the development of an autonomous weeding vehicle for the agricultural industry. It has been done as a project at RMIT University in Melbourne and the aim was to develop a design for the vehicle which could later be used to develop a commercial product. The current trend in the agricultural industry is larger machines that can benefit from economies of scale. These heavy mac

Under 1900-talets första kvartal arbetade lagstiftaren med att införa nya och revidera gamla lagar på familjerättens område. Många av lagarna hade sett mycket lite förändring sedan deras införande i och med 1734 års lag. År 1915 förändrade man begreppet trolovning och dess innebörd blev mycket mer vidsträckt än vad det tidigare hade varit. Det blev nu ett helt formlöst avtal som ansågs ingånget såDuring the first quarter of the 20th century, the legislator worked to introduce new laws and revise old ones concerning family law, many of which had seen very little change since their introduction in the law of 1734. In 1915, the concept of betrothal changed and its meaning became much more extensive than it used to be. It was now a completely formless agreement that was concluded as soon as th

Selektiva distributionssystem är marknadsföringsmetod som ofta används vid distribution av exklusiva och tekniskt avancerade varor. Denna typ av distribution innebär att produkter som säljs inom systemet endast distribueras av återförsäljare som är auktoriserade. För att bli auktoriserad krävs att återförsäljaren lever upp till de i distributionssystemet uppställda kraven, vilka kan vara långtgåenSelective distribution systems are a kind of marketing method used when distributing exclusive and technical advanced products. In this kind of distribution system products within the system is only distributed by retailers that are authorized. To become authorized the retailer has to fulfil the criteria’s that the provider has set out for inclusion in the distribution system. Selective distribu
