We consider different characterizations of Triebel–Lizorkin type spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc. Even though our results appear in the folklore, detailed descriptions are hard to find, and in fact we are unable to discuss the full range of parameters. Without additional effort we work with vector-valued analytic functions, and also consider a generalized scale of function spaces, in
Background: In recent years, emphasis has been put on that medical student should demonstrate pre-practice/pre-registration core procedural skills to ensure patient safety. Nonetheless, the formal teaching and training of basic suturing skills to medical students have received relatively little attention and there is no standard for what should be tested and how. The aim of this study was to devel
Background: Epigenetic alterations have been recognized as important contributors to the pathogenesis of PDAC. However, the role of histone variants in pancreatic tumor progression is still not completely understood. The aim of this study was to explore the expression and prognostic significance of histone protein variants in PDAC patients. Methods: Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (
Background: All parents in Sweden are invited to child health service (CHS) parental groups, however only 49% of the families participate. The way the parental groups are managed has been shown to be of importance for how parents experience the support and CHS nurses describe feeling insecure when running the groups. Lack of facilitation, structure and leadership might jeopardise the potential ben
Background: Oral anticoagulation therapy is recommended for the prevention of recurrent ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Current guidelines do not provide evidence-based recommendations on optimal time-point to start anticoagulation therapy after an acute ischemic stroke. Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) may offer advantages compared to warfarin becaus
Objective: Diabetes is known to be associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, the temporal association between increased carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-f PWV) and diabetes is unclear. The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between arterial stiffness, as determined by c-f PWV, and incidence of diabetes. Research Design and Methods: The study population included par
Rapporten avser följa upp och utvärdera de resultat som kom från projektet CONMOD rörande fuktanalyser. I de sju rapporterna som har utgjort underlag för denna undersökning har står det generellt sett väldigt lite om fukt med två undantag. De två rapporter där det står mest om fukt och fuktmodellering, är dels i bilaga A5.4, i rapporten ”Barsebäck NPP- Material testing project”, Materialanalyser a
Background: Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTMs) have developed into standard of care to provide expert opinion and to grant evidence-based recommendations on diagnostics and treatment of cancer. Though MDTMs are associated with a range of benefits, a growing number of cases, complex case discussion and an increasing number of participants raise questions on cost versus benefit. We aimed to det
Électricité de France har utanför Paris byggt en 1/3 skalmodell av en reaktorinneslutning motsvarande en fransk fullskalereaktor modell P4. Anläggningen möjliggör studier av hur åldringsprocesser påverkar förspända reaktorinneslutningar. Syftet är att efter de 7 år som ett övergripande forskningsprojektet vid på anläggningen pågår, uppnå påverkan motsvarande den åldring som en fullskalereaktor har
Humans have selectively bred and used dogs over a period of thousands of years, and more recently the dog has become an important model animal for studies in ethology, cognition and genetics. These broad interests warrant careful descriptions of the senses of dogs. Still there is little known about dog vision, especially what dogs can discriminate in different light conditions. We trained and test
Siljan, central Sweden, is the largest known impact structure in Europe. It was formed at about 380 Ma, in the late Devonian period. The structure has been heavily eroded to a level originally located underneath the crater floor, and to date, important questions about the original size and morphology of Siljan remain unanswered. Here we present the results of a shock barometry study of quartz-bear
För knappt tio år sedan introducerades ett nytt skivmaterial, magnesiumoxidskivor, i Sverige. Flertalet av skivorna, som också benämns MgO-skivor, hade genomgått provningar som vidimerade goda egenskaper med avseende på hållfasthet, brand, arbetsmiljö, miljöbelastning, mögeltålighet med flera. Dessutom uppgavs MgO-skivor vara oorganiska och kunde användas i fuktiga miljöer utan att ta skada.Det vi
Unbiased, “nontargeted” metabolite profiling techniques hold considerable promise for biomarker and pathway discovery, in spite of the lack of successful applications to human disease. By integrating nontargeted metabolomics, genetics, and detailed human phenotyping, we identified dimethylguanidino valeric acid (DMGV) as an independent biomarker of CT-defined nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL
textcopyright 2017 John Wiley Sons Ltd. The effective population size (N e ) is a central factor in determining maintenance of genetic variation. The neutral theory predicts that loss of variation depends on N e , with less genetic drift in larger populations. We monitored genetic drift in 42 Drosophila melanogaster populations of different adult census population sizes (10, 50 or 500) using poole
Background: Evolutionary theory predicts that antagonistically selected alleles, such as those with divergent pleiotropic effects in early and late life, may often reach intermediate population frequencies due to balancing selection, an elusive process when sought out empirically. Alternatively, genetic diversity may increase as a result of positive frequency-dependent selection and genetic purgin
The ability of ectotherms to respond to changes in their thermal environment through plastic mechanisms is central to their adaptive capability. However, we still lack knowledge on the physiological and functional responses by which ectotherms acclimate to temperatures during development, and in particular, how physiological stress at extreme temperatures may counteract beneficial acclimation resp
Division of reproductive behaviour and alloparental care are key aspects of many animal societies. In cooperatively breeding species, variation in helping effort and unequal task participation are frequently observed. However, the extent to which the reproductive state of an individual affects the tasks performed during offspring care remains poorly understood. In the social spider Stegodyphus dum
Studies on thermal acclimation in insects are often performed on animals acclimated in the laboratory under conditions that are not ecologically relevant. Costs and benefits of acclima-tion responses under such conditions may not reflect costs and benefits in natural popula-tions subjected to daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations. Here we estimated costs and benefits in thermal tolerance lim
The ability to respond evolutionarily to increasing temperatures is important for survival of ectotherms in a changing climate. Recent studies suggest that upper thermal limits may be evolutionary constrained. We address this hypothesis in a laboratory evolution experiment, encompassing ecologically relevant thermal regimes. To examine the potential for species to respond to climate change, we exp
