The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed-canopy forest; however, some argue that large herbivores maintained greater openness or even wood-pasture conditions. Here, we address this question for the Last Interglacial period (129,000–116,000 years ago), before Homo sapien

Understanding mitochondrial biology and pathology is key to understanding the evolution of animal form and function. However, mitochondrial measurement often involves invasive, or even terminal, sampling, which can be difficult to reconcile in wild models or longitudinal studies. Non-mammal vertebrates contain mitochondria in their red blood cells, which can be exploited for minimally invasive mit

Popular Abstract in English Foods, microorganisms, and humans have been tightly associated from the start of human history. Foods are not only the source of nutrients for humans, but also good media for microorganisms. Although we humans discovered the existence of microorganisms relatively recently, we have been dealing with them for hundreds and thousands of years. We have used some microorganisStaphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) is the most common enterotoxin found in outbreaks of staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP). Based on the amount of SEA produced, S. aureus strains were divided into two main groups, high- and low-SEA-producing strains. The differences in the amounts of SEA formed were found to be associated with the levels of expression of the sea gene and the bacteriophage version

When working in our computer labs, we'd like to ask you to follow this procedure. Doing so will help you avoid data loss. Copy original data from R: to C:\Tempdata\Typically, you will use software to work with data. Your teacher will tell you where to get the data from. Usually this will be from a folder in network drive R:. Copy it to the local folder C:\Tempdata\ on the computer you are using.Do

Popular Abstract in English Fungi are multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms which form thread-like filaments called hyphae. They form reproductive structures called sporocarp (also known as mushrooms). Most fungi are saproptrophs, feeding on dead or decaying material while many are also parasitic, feeding on living organisms. In addition, most vascular plants are always in symbiotic association withEctomycorrhizae is the dominant type of mycorrhiza found in association with tree roots in boreal and northern temperate forests. In this symbiosis, the fungal partner derives energy from photosynthates provided by the host trees and in return delivers soil-derived nutrients such as nitrogen (N). The majority of N in forest soils is embedded in recalcitrant organic matter–protein complexes. Ectomy

In this thesis a model for valuing an arbitrary collateralized loan obligation (CLO) is implemented. A CLO is a structured credit product whose performance relies on a pool of corporate loans. Valuation in the context of this thesis is the price on a CLO security and the distribution for the price. The major driver behind the performance of the loan pool is the default distribution among obligors.

Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) fMesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats.

In today’s modern society, communication online is used for several reasons where social media platforms take more space and time in the daily lifestyle of many. The photos sharing mobile application Instagram was created in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. Since then it has steadily growing and is today owned by Facebook (Lagorio-Chafkin, 2012). In July 2018 it was reported that the networ

This thesis aims to study how the legitimacy of the EU’s pandemic crisis response in connection to green policies, in the interinstitutional exchange, is supported or undermined by connected frames and a subordinate master frame over the course of the first six months of the unfolding pandemic. Six EU institutions’ residents, who “have a say” on economic crisis measures, were picked from the Europ

Most countries engage in a wide variety of export promotion activities that provide domestic firms with significant support in the hopes of increasing trade volumes. The aim of this thesis is to examine one type of official Swedish export promotion, namely state visits. I investigate the potential effect of state visits, performed by Sweden’s head of state King Carl XVI Gustaf, on Swedish aggregat

Introduction: Arterial spin labelling (ASL) is a non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique for assessment of perfusion. ASL uses magnetically labelled blood water as a diffusible endogenous tracer to measure the perfusion of brain tissue, i.e. the cerebral blood flow (CBF). Traditionally, ASL samples images at a specific point in time allowing the CBF to be calculated using a model o

When a new linear accelerator is installed at a department it is of great importance that it is carefully controlled and calibrated before being put into clinical use. This is done with the acceptance test (AT). The mechanical parameters, the beam performance and the reproducibility of the dose output are tested. For each test there is a requirement which must be fulfilled for the machine to pass

The abortion debate in the United States has become increasingly polarized where the legality and morality of abortion is continuously discussed. This has given rise to an abortion movement and countermovement, commonly referred to as the pro- choice movement and pro-life movement. These movements are furthermore working transnationally to promote their agendas and contribute to social and politic

This study examines how the ideological tendencies of the President, the Senate and the Supreme Court influence presidential nominations to the United States Supreme Court during the period of 1947-1999. Using quantitative data, the analysis is based on ideology scores from ADA, DW-Nominate, and Segal-Cover to categorize nominations on the three regimes based on Moraski & Shipan’s theory of in

AbstractAim: This study sought to investigate the hypothesis that children dying outside a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after PICU discharge have a limitation of medical treatment (LOMT) order in place, limiting PICU readmission at the time of death.Methods: A cohort was identified of all children (n=3890; 5019 admissions) treated in a PICU in Sweden over 3 consecutive years between Januar

Background Adolescence is characterized by large bodily changes and a heightened body-focus. It is also a sensitive period for the onset of various forms of psychopathology. Previous longitudinal studies have shown that body dissatisfaction is a predictor of disordered eating, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and depression among adolescents. Body dissatisfaction, however, only represents one aspe
