Med en befolkning på cirka 30 miljoner människor är kurderna den fjärde största etniska gruppen i Mellanöstern. Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suvWith a population of around 30 million people, the Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Despite this, the Kurds do not have their own independent state which makes them a minority group in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Since the Kurds are scattered over four different states it is of interest to examine how they refer to each other in relation to the idea of having an inde

The RF power amplifier is one of the most critical blocks of transceivers, as it is expected to provide a suitable output power with high gain, efficiency and linearity. In this paper, a 60-GHz power amplifier based on an injection locked structure is demonstrated in a standard 65 CMOS technology. The PA core consists of a cross-coupled pair of NMOS transistors with an NMOS current source. This st

Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif

The evolution of World Wide Web (WWW) into semantic web is happening with the aid of standards like Resource Description Framework (RDF), SPARQL and a few others from World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Over the years, semantic data management technologies have been introduced as software platforms commonly known as RDF stores. Lately these RDF stores have been tested for processing and maintenance o

This study investigated the feasibility and effects of organ bath to be used for detection of bronchial function of non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) lung after 1-h warm ischemia. Sixteen Swedish pigs were divided into two groups randomly: heart-beating donor (HBD) group and NHBD with 1-h warm ischemia (NHBD-1 h) group. The bronchial rings whose lengths and inner diameters were both 1.5 mm were obtai

Numerous Neoproterozoic mafic dykes, referred to as the Dashigou swarm, are identified in the central and southeastern parts of the North China craton (NCC). They are 305-010 degrees trending dykes, with widths of similar to 10-100 m and exposed lengths of several to >10 km. Precise U-Pb isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) measurements on baddeleyite grains separated fr

Hybrid metal-organic perovskite solar cells have astounded the solar cell community with their rapid rise in efficiency while maintaining low-cost fabrication. The intrinsic material photophysics related to the generation of free charges, their dynamics and efficiency, however, remains to be understood. As fabrication techniques improve, larger crystal grain sizes have been shown to be a critical

In order to identify cellular factors that regulate human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) gene expression, cervical cancer cells permissive for HPV16 late gene expression were identified and characterized. These cells either contained a novel spliced variant of the L1 mRNAs that bypassed the suppressed HPV16 late, 5'-splice site SD3632, produced elevated levels of RNA-binding proteins SRSF1 (ASF/SF

We introduce a novel automated sample-processing concept that will be of mandatory importance to proteomics and future clinical research, performing patient studies from resulting blood fractions in various disease areas. Biobank storage of small sample volumes allows for high replicate numbers to be processed and aliquoted, where each sample aliquot can be used for a dedicated clinical analysis a

Popular Abstract in English The catalytic and electrochemical properties of tryptophan repressor-binding protein (WrbA), pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) on carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and flow injection amperometry to construct biosensors and biofuel cell (BFC) anodes. WrbA has a catalytic FMN-containing The catalytic and electrochemical properties of tryptophan repressor-binding protein (WrbA), pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH), cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) on carbon electrodes were investigated using cyclic voltammetry and flow injection amperometry to construct biosensors and biofuel cell (BFC) anodes. WrbA has a catalytic FMN-containing domain whereas both PDH and

Research has been pointing out that productivity in the building industry is stagnant and in some cases declining. Poor productivity of craftsmen is one of the causes of cost and time overruns on building projects. Productivity of labour is particularly important especially in developing countries where most of the building work is still carried out on manual basis. The objective of this research

BACKGROUND: /st> Previous studies have indicated that autoantibodies may be detected years before the clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cartilage biomarkers, such as cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), have not been studied previously in samples collected before the diagnosis of RA. METHODS: /st> Between 1991 and 1996, 30 447 subjects were included in the Malmö Diet Cancer Study

BACKGROUND: In order to determine myocardial salvage, accurate quantification of myocardium at risk (MaR) is necessary. We present a validated novel automatic segmentation algorithm for quantification of MaR by myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) in patients with acute coronary occlusion. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twenty-nine patients with coronary occlusion were injected with a perfusion tracer before re

Interim medication-only treatment has been suggested for the initiation of opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) in opioid-dependent subjects, but this rarely has been studied using buprenorphine instead of methadone. Following a pilot trial assessing interim buprenorphine-naloxone treatment in order to facilitate transfer into OMT, we here aimed to study retention, and potential correlates of retent

Abstract Background: The incidence of peptic ulcer disease was expected to decrease following the introduction of acid inhibitors and H. pylori eradication. Aim: This study analyses possible changes in the incidence of bleeding peptic ulcer, treatment and mortality over time. Methods: Residents of Malmö hospitalised for bleeding gastric or duodenal ulcer disease1987-2004 were identified in hospita

A comprehensive study was conducted to monitor the emission potential from solid waste landfilled in Jordan over a period of 292 days using an anaerobic lysimeter. A 30 kg waste sample reflecting the typical municipal solid waste (MSW) streams generated in Jordan was used to simulate the influence of climate on the emission potential of landfills located in semi-arid areas. The experimental result

PUFA from oil extracted from Nile perch viscera were enriched by selective enzymatic esterification of the free fatty acids (FFA) or by hydrolysis of ethyl esters of the fatty acids from the oil (FA-EE). Quantitative analysis was performed using RP-HPLC coupled to an evaporative light scattering detector (RP-HPLC-ELSD). The lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus discriminated against docosahexaenoic

We used allozymes to investigate the structure of genetic variation in populations of the perennial herb Silene nutans at local (Denmark), regional (Nordic area) and wide (over a 19A degrees latitudinal gradient) geographic scales in north-western Europe. New data from Denmark were combined with data from previously studied Fennoscandian and western populations. We related patterns of nuclear vari
