Although fever (a closely regulated increase in body temperature in response to infection) typically is beneficial, it is energetically costly and may induce detrimentally high body temperatures. This can increase the susceptibility to energetic bottlenecks and risks of overheating in some organisms. Accordingly, it could be particularly interesting to study fever in small birds, which have compar
Objective: The acceptable noise level (ANL) is used to quantify the amount of background noise that subjects can accept while listening to speech, and is suggested for prediction of individual hearing-aid use. The aim of this study was to assess the repeatability of the ANL measured in normal-hearing subjects using running Danish and non-semantic speech materials as stimuli and modulated speech-sp
Case 2 – Godsinlösen 2016-05-04 1 Nya avfallsarenor i en cirkulär ekonomi Sammanfattning Det finns ett ord på japanska, mottainai som inte har någon bra översättning på svenska. Ordet inbegriper ett tankesätt att värdera och använda saker så länge som möjligt, något som verkar vara bortglömt i vårt västerländska slit- och slängsamhälle. Godsinlösens verksamhet vittnar om en vilja att ändra synen o

The development of dental materials with improved properties and increased longevity can save costs and minimize discomfort for patients. Due to their good biocompatibility, glass ionomer cements are an interesting restorative option. However, these cements have limited mechanical strength to survive in the challenging oral environment. Therefore, a better understanding of the structure and hydrat
Background. Sporadic cases of abdominal pain and dysmotility has been described after treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogs. The aim of the present study was to scrutinize for patients with severe gastrointestinal complaints after treatment with GnRH analogs, to describe the expression of antibodies against progonadoliberin-2, GnRH1, GnRH receptor (GnRHR), luteinizing hormon
A wall-jet microbial fuel cell (MFC) was developed for the monitoring of anaerobic digestion (AD). This biofilm based MFC biosensor had a character of being portable, short hydraulic retention time (HRT) for sample flow through and convenient for continuous operation. The MFC was installed in the recirculation loop of an upflow anaerobic fixed-bed (UAFB) reactor in bench-scale where pH of the ferm
GENERAL AIM: To investigate how common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be used in prevention and treatment of CVD. SUBJECTS: Subjects from the population-based Malmö-Diet-and-Cancer-(MDC)-Study (n=30447) and hypertensives from the Nordic-Diltiazem-(NORDIL)-Study (n=10881). METHODS AND RESULTS: A nine-SNP-lipid-genetic-risk-score was r
Förbrukning av bränsle och elektrisk kraft är som huvudregel belagd med energiskatt. Beskattningen har en lång tradition och är i första hand statsfinansiellt motiverad men syftar även till att ha en allmänt efterfrågedämpande effekt. Energiskattesystemet innehåller dock en mängd lättnadsregler som stadgar lägre skattesatser beroende på energiprodukt och förbrukning. Differentieringarna är exempelConsumption of fuel and electric power in Sweden is subjected to energy taxation. The energy tax has a long tradition and is primarily fiscally motivated, but it also aims at having a regressive effect on the demand for energy products. The tax system however contains a variety of tax reliefs depending on the energy product and how it is consumed. The energy taxes are in this way used as instrumen
The aim of this master thesis was to produce meatballs with different characteristics and from these, find the meatball that oxidized the most. For the production, minced meat with different concentrations of salt and fat from both beef and pork was used. Half of the meatballs were pan-fried and the other half was deep fat fried. Additionally, three different storage times were applied. The meatba
High shear mixer is used in various kinds of processing industries, such as chemical, cosmetic, food, pharmaceutical industries for emulsification and dispersion. In this project, the high shear mixer works as a batch pasteurizer. Although pasteurization time for different types of food products has been investigated by many scientists, the heating time required from the initial food temperature t
I Sveriges storstadsregioner råder idag en brist på bostäder. Vill man hyra en lägenhet ska man helst ha ställt sig i kö många år i förväg. Har man inte kötid, kontakter eller lust att betala ockerhyra för att bo i andra hand bör man ha en årsinkomst eller två i kontanter bara för att få låna ihop till en bostadsrätt. Till följd av detta byggs det nu mer än på länge, men det som byggs är oftast inIn Sweden, there’s currently a shortage of housing. If you want to rent an apartment, you will have to have been queuing for years. If you don’t have the queue time to compete, the necessary contacts or you just don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for a sub-let you might need to have a year’s salary in cash just to be able to get the loan you need for a condominium. In reaction to this we are seein
Med anledning av kammarrättens dom i mål nr 4468-19 av den 20 novem-ber 2020 har tidpunkten för när en ansökan om upptagande till handel ska anses vara inlämnad på den reglerade marknaden Nasdaq Stockholm, och således när marknadsmissbruksförordnigen (”MAR”) blir tillämplig i en noteringsprocess, fastställts till tidpunkten för när Nasdaq Stockholms Admission Form B lämnas in.

For non-binary people the law is not securing trans-specific healthcare in Finland. The current regulation is built on understanding of gender as binary and according to the Act on Legal Recognition of the Gender of Transsexuals (563/2002) a person can be confirmed to belong to the “opposite gender” if she/he fulfils the preconditions. One of the requirements is a mental health diagnosis prior to
Traffic characterization is of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of modem telecommunication networks. In this paper, the microdynamics of some sets of traffic are investigated. The approach we use to study the microdynamics is Poissonification, which is away of transforming a point process into a Poisson process locally. We want to gain basic knowledge of how the traffic behaves on
We report on the feasibility and process parameters of nanoimprint lithography to fabricate low refractive index passive optical devices. Diffraction gratings printed in polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) exhibit a sharp dispersion with a full width at half maximum of about 20 nm. Waveguides were printed in polystyrene (PS) on silicon oxide and had losses between 8-20 dB cm(-1) at wavelengths between 6
The monoclonal gammopathies are a group of disorders associated with monoclonal proliferation of plasma cells. The characterization of specific entities is an area of difficulty in clinical practice. The International Myeloma Working Group has reviewed the criteria for diagnosis and classification with the aim of producing simple, easily used definitions based on routinely available investigations
This paper demonstrates the experimental validation and mechanistic analysis of the continuous cross-flow atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor model developed in the first article of this series (Holmqvist et al., in press). A general nonlinear parameter estimation problem was formulated to identify the kinetic parameters involved in the developed ALD gassurface reaction mechanism, governing ZnO
In this paper, we investigate the properties of the Granger causality test in stationary and stable vector autoregressive models under the presence of spillover effects, that is, causality in variance. The Wald test and the WW test (the Wald test with White's proposed heteroskedasticity-consistent covariance matrix estimator imposed) are analyzed. The investigation is undertaken by using Monte Car
