A rapid screening procedure for characterization of lipase selectivities using microwaves was developed. The rate of reaction of various commercial lipases (porcine pancreas, Mucor miehei, Candida rugosa, Pseudomonas cepacia) as well as lipases from laboratory isolates-Bacillus stearothermophilus and Burkholderia cepacia RGP-10 for triolein hydrolysis was 7- to 12-fold higher in a microwave oven a
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Män, våld och moralarbete uppmärksammas hur män, som frivilligt sökt sig till verksamheter där det erbjuds behandling för våld i nära relationer, rapporterar om sina erfarenheter. Rapporteringarna består dels av svar på frågeformulär, dels genom deltagande i samtalsintervjuer. Författaren analyserar hur männen förklarar sina handlingar och gestaltar återberättade erfMen, violence and moral work- Reports from help-seeking men at treatment centers working with violence in close relationships Men’s violence against women is an extensive social problem. In the 1970s, a new kind of centers were established in the US and UK, focusing on treating men who had been violent against their wives or girlfriends, the aim which is to end the men’s violent behavior. In the
Tomosynthesis is a three-dimensional imaging technique based on the reconstruction of several planar radiographs. During the image acquisition in tomosynthesis, the X-ray tube moves around the detector which is often stationary, and a number of projection images are taken from different angles. Individual slices from the reconstructed volume can be studied. With the effective reduction of the visi
BACKGROUND: – The clinical use of risk scores to guide treatment decisions and improve clinical outcomes has rarely been prospectively evaluated. This study aimed to evaluate whether a biomarker-based ABC-AF risk score–guided multidimensional treatment strategy improves long-term outcomes in patients with AF. METHODS: – The multicenter, registry-based, randomized, controlled, open-label study enro
Fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to clinical tumour detection and to rmcroscopy. The fluorescence properties of biological tissue have been investigated within two clinical projects in order to discriminate tumours from normal surrounding tissue. Clinical studies have been performed on brain tumours in collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery in Linkoping, and on urinary bladde
Ambient fine particulate matter PM2.5 (particles with a diameter smaller than 2.5 μm) has been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory morbidity and mortality. It has been shown that biomass burning for heat production purposes can generate large amounts of fine particles. Thus characteristics of particle emissions from biofuel combustion may be important in the assessment of health effects
Major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem persistence are fragmentation of habitats and declining population sizes. For conservation biologists to understand the consequences of declining populations for the long term persistence and recovery of species worldwide, it is important to know and understand the underlying causes of potential threats, such as the depletion of genetic diversity, which
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att skapa en bättre förståelse för vilken betydelse institutioner har för innovationsprocesser inom regionala innovationssystem. Den fokuserar särskilt på hur olika typer av institutioner på skilda geografiska nivåer samspelar; hur institutionell påverkan förändras i samband med att innovationsprocesser utvecklas över tid; samt vilka möjliEconomic geographers have long been intrigued by the role of institutions in innovation processes. It has been argued that differences in institutions are among the factors explaining the uneven innovative capacity across and within countries. The regional innovation system approach highlights the interrelationships of firms, universities, governmental authorities and other organizations, as well
BACKGROUND: With regard to contact allergy, the dose of a sensitizer per unit skin area is an important factor for both sensitization and elicitation, and therefore a known amount/volume of test preparation should be applied at patch testing. OBJECTIVES: To compare three different techniques for the application of aqueous solutions to Finn Chambers, in order to determine the precision and accuracy
Small independent (indie) game startups face fierce competition when developing games with limited time, budget, and resources. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas, features, and content is essential to validate and guide development toward a viable and successful game. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires access to users and user data, which is often very limited in the
Personlig lämplighet skulle kunna beskrivas som alla anställningsadekvata kvalifikationer som inte kan relateras till utbildning eller yrkes- och arbetslivserfarenhet. Detta i sin tur medför ett ytterst omfattande innehåll som dessutom är unikt, om inte för varje unikt arbete så åtminstone för i stort sett varje yrkesgrupp. I anställningssituationer kan en arbetsgivare hänvisa till en arbetssökan
Correlation coefficient of received signals across a pair of antennas is a key performance indicator for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. For multipath environments with uniform 3D angular power spectrum, the signal correlation between two antennas can be exactly calculated from their 3D radiation patterns. When radiation patterns are unavailable, a simplified approach that only requ
Neutral Pb clusters in the size range from a few tens of atoms up to similar to 100 atoms are studied using synchrotron-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The electronic structure is seen to differ increasingly from that of the solid when the cluster size decreases. The valence band narrows gradually - down to about one fifth of the solid-state band width at the smallest size of few tens of atoms.
Introduction: Soft tissue knee injury is a well-established and potent risk factor for development of knee osteoarthritis. However, there is a paucity of epidemiological data from the general population. Our aim was to estimate the annual person-level incidence for a wide spectrum of clinically diagnosed soft tissue knee injuries, and their distribution by age, sex, and season. Methods: In Sweden,
Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using single-species bioclimatic 'envelope' models. Such models are a special case of species distribution models in which the current geographical distribution of species is related to climatic variables so to enable projections of distributions under future climate change scenarios. This work reviews a number of cri
Aim: The aim of this paper was to review the literature on the clinical importance of monitoring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair. Method: The literature was searched for abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) or intra-abdominal pressure and aortic aneurysm. Original articles were studied. Personal experiences were reported. Results: The Consensus
A magnetic particle-based immuno-supported liquid membrane assay (m-ISLMA) based on chemiluminescence detection of a horseradish peroxidase-labeled hapten tracer that allows sample cleanup, analyte enrichment, and detection in a single analysis unit has been developed. Antibodies were immobilized on magnetic beads, and their position in the acceptor was controlled by two alternating opposing elect
