Telomere length is restored primarily through the action of the reverse transcriptase telomerase, which may contribute to a prolonged lifespan in some but not all species and may result in longer telomeres in one sex than the other. To what extent this is an effect of proximate mechanisms (e.g. higher stress in males, higher oestradiol/oestrogen levels in females), or is an evolved adaptation (str
Short-term very intensive storms in the years 1980-2007 from rain gauges in Malmo have been analysed to find intensities of long return periods and to investigate trends. Observations from different stations have been pooled into series to which probability functions have been adjusted. Quality control of short-term precipitation records is emphasized. In order to investigate whether high rain int
The crustal segment Volgo-Uralia is the least known part of the East European Craton. Its crystalline crust is hidden beneath a thick Neoproterozoic to Phanerozoic cover but disclosed by thousands of drill holes. In conjunction with the recent "Tatseis" reflection seismic profile, we conducted the first isotopic study of the Bakaly granitoid block in eastern Volgo-Uralia, which represents a subsur
Popular Abstract in Swedish Djupa infektioner i brösthålan (mediastinit) efter hjärtkirurgi är en allvarlig komplikation som kan ha dödlig utgång. Komplikationen är relativt ovanlig (1-3 % av hjärtopererade patienter), men de som drabbas av denna allvarliga infektion har en hög dödlighet (cirka 10-30 %). Det finns för närvarande inte någon enskild standardterapi för denna komplikation utan iställeThe aim of this research was to clinically and experimentally evaluate the use of vacuum-assisted closure in poststernotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) is a new wound-healing therapy based on the application of a local negative pressure to the wound. New techniques for treating poststernotomy mediastinitis are needed since conventional techniques have an unsa
We perform hydrodynamic simulations of mass transfer in binaries that contain a white dwarf and a neutron star (WD-NS binaries), and measure the specific angular momentum of material lost from the binary in disc winds. By incorporating our results within a long-term evolution model, we measure the long-term stability of mass transfer in these binaries. We find that only binaries containing helium
Human and non-human animals are capable of using basic geometric information to reorient in an environment. Geometric information includes metric properties associated with spatial surfaces (e.g., short vs. long wall) and left-right directionality or 'sense' (e.g. a long wall to the left of a short wall). However, it remains unclear whether geometric information is encoded by explicitly computing
The pupil size artefact (PSA) is the gaze deviation reported by an eye tracker during pupil size changes if the eye does not rotate. In the present study, we ask three questions: 1) how stable is the PSA over time, 2) does the PSA depend on properties of the eye tracker set up, and 3) does the PSA depend on the participants' viewing direction? We found that the PSA is very stable over time for per
Clean sources of energy have increasingly gained importance as a means to mitigate climate change. This study analysed the relationship between CO2 emissions, GDP, GDP2, fossil fuel consumption, hydroelectricity consumption, new renewables (solar, wind, biomass) consumption, and biofuels consumption (all variables are per capita) in the context of the environmental Kuznets curve theory in Brazil f
Nyckelaktörer i samhället tror att invånare är dåligt förberedda inför avbrott i el, värme, vatten och telekom, något som en enkätstudie riktad mot Helsingborgs invånare bekräftar. Framför allt sårbara är invånare för avbrott i el och vattentillförsel, vilket majoriteten vill ska prioriteras vid avbrott som inträffar samtidigt. Samhällsaktörers bedömning av hur väl invånare kan hantera avbrotten sCritical infrastructures and the services they provide society with, also called critical flows, are vital for the functioning of modern society. There is a need to investigate acceptable duration of disruptions in different critical flows, how the criticality due to disruption changes over time and how citizens want flows to be prioritized. Thus, this study examines individuals’ temporal levels o
The purpose of this study is to further investigate how market timing and cash need rationale affects stock performance subsequent to a seasoned equity offering and, by doing so, to expand on previous literature on the subject of seasoned equity offerings and stock performance. In this thesis a quantitative approach taken by estimating buy-and-hold abnormal returns subsequent to a seasoned equity
Migrating birds are believed to minimize the time spent on migration rather than energy. Birds seem to maximize migration speed in different ways as a noteworthy variation in migration strategies exists. We studied migration strategies of a flight mode and feeding generalist, the Lesser Black-backed Gull Larus fuscus, using GPS-based satellite telemetry. We expected the gulls to achieve very high
BACKGROUND: Interventions aimed at reducing the number of smokers are generally believed to be cost effective. However as the cost of the interventions should be paid up front whereas the gains in life years only appear in the future--the budgetary consequences might be a barrier to implementing such interventions. AIMS: The aim of the present paper was to assess the long-term cost effectiveness
Abstract: Avian long-distance migration as an adaptation to spatiotemporally changing resources is a complex evolutionary trait shaped by various endo- and exogenous factors. Descriptive studies of migratory journeys provide direct investigations of migratory parameters and these often set the basis for fun-damental follow-up studies on the eco-evolutionary principles. In this study, male Great
The aim of this project was to studie notions and methods we had as designers to create emotional and long lasting product value with in a product. On the other hand there was a real case from the company Ocean Observation that wanted to develop concepts around a basic phone with an idea based design. The starting point was the question why we are not more attached to our mobile phones, the physi
