Artikelförfattaren gör en kronologisk genomgång av järtecken och historiska händelser med anknytning till Estland och Livland i kyrkoherden Joen Klints handskrivna Järteckenbok (bevarad i Linköpings Stiftsbibliotek). Klints anteckningar relateras till samtida idéhorisont (särskilt till Balthasar Russows livländska krönika, vilken tjänat som källa till en stor del av Klints anteckningar) och den mo

Agency and actors in regional industrial path development. A framework and longitudinal analysis

Despite significant interest in regional industrial restructuring in economic geography, surprisingly, scarce attention has been paid to the changing role of agency over time. The current paper develops a framework for understanding the role of multiple types of actors and the agency they exercise for regional industrial path development. The framework is employed in a longitudinal study of indust

Finegoldia magna, an Anaerobic Gram-Positive Bacterium of the Normal Human Microbiota, Induces Inflammation by Activating Neutrophils

The Gram-positive anaerobic commensal Finegoldia magna colonizes the skin and other non-sterile body surfaces, and is an important opportunistic pathogen. Here we analyzed the effect of F. magna on human primary neutrophils. F. magna strains ALB8 (expressing protein FAF), 312 (expressing protein L) and 505 (naturally lacking both protein FAF and L) as well as their associated proteins activate neu

Personality and Cognitive Functions in Violent Offenders – Implications of Character Maturity?

Previous research has suggested that personality and cognitive functions are essential in the emergence of persistent aggressive antisocial behaviors and that character maturity could be an important protective factor against these behaviors. The aims of this study were (1) to determine associations between personality traits, intellectual ability, and executive function in young male violent offe

Nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems for neural interfaces - a novel approach for improved biocompatibility.

The overall purpose of this thesis was to reduce brain tissue responses around implanted microelectrodes using a pharmacological strategy. One of the main aims was to develop and evaluate drug delivery systems that allow local administration of anti-inflammatory pharmaceutics. The drug Minocycline was therefore encapsulated into biodegradable poly (D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles and th

Latent atrophy factors related to phenotypical variants of posterior cortical atrophy

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether atrophy relates to phenotypical variants of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) recently proposed in clinical criteria (i.e., dorsal, ventral, dominant-parietal, and caudal) we assessed associations between latent atrophy factors and cognition. METHODS: We employed a data-driven Bayesian modeling framework based on latent Dirichlet allocation to identify latent atrophy

The effect of physiotherapy including frequent changes of body position and stimulation to physical activity for infants hospitalised with acute airway infections. Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Background: Every year, many infants are infected with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or other agents and need hospitalisation due to bronchiolitis. The disease causes much suffering and high costs. Thus, it is important that the treatment methods are both effective and cost-efficient. The use of different physiotherapy treatment methods is debated, and not all methods are evaluated scienti

Improved Norfloxacin degradation by urea precipitation Ti/SnO2–Sb anode under photo-electro catalysis and kinetics investigation by BP-neural-network-physical modeling

The photo-electro catalysis has emerged as efficient and sustainable degradation method for antibiotics, where metal oxide anode plays a critical role. Exploring novel preparation method for anodes catalysis to achieve larger active sites and diverse oxidants production can directly enhance the degradation performance. Therefore, in this work, a new urea precipitation method for anode formation wa

Revisiting the dissolution of cellulose in H3PO4(aq) through cryo-TEM, PTssNMR and DWS

Cellulose can be dissolved in concentrated acidic aqueous solvents forming extremely viscous solutions, and, in some cases, liquid crystalline phases. In this work, the concentrated phosphoric acid aqueous solvent is revisited implementing a set of advanced techniques, such as cryo-transmission electronic microscopy (cryo-TEM), polarization transfer solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (PTssNMR)

Luminescent PhotoCORMs : Enabling/Disabling CO Delivery upon Blue Light Irradiation

The new luminescent carbonyl compounds [Mn(Oxa-H)(CO)3Br] (1) and [Mn(Oxa-NMe2)(CO)3Br] (2) were synthesized and fully characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 showed CO release under blue light (λ453). Spectroscopic techniques and TD-DFT and SOC-TD-DFT calculations indicated that 1 and 2 release the Oxa-H and Oxa-NMe2 coligands in addition to the carbonyl ligands, increasing the luminescence during photo

Cortical thickness and surface area of left anterior temporal areas affects processing of phonological cues to morphosyntax

Lack of methods to experimentally assess the perceptual processing of sound features and allow one to measure differences in phonological proficiency has been a limitation for speech processing studies in native speakers. Tonal features associated with Swedish word-stems, word accents, which cue grammatical suffixes, constitute, however, such sound features that can be exploited to generate measur

Respiratory burst oxidases and apoplastic peroxidases facilitate ammonium syndrome development in Arabidopsis

Ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+) nutrition is linked to metabolic over-reduction for plants. The characteristic symptom of sole NH4+ nutrition is growth suppression, signifying this condition as the ammonium syndrome. In the present study, we investigated the mechanism of perception of high NH4+ conditions in Arabidopsis thaliana plants by examining apoplastic reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism. Maj

Using Confidence Intervals to Determine Adequate Item Sample Sizes for Vocabulary Tests : An Essential but Overlooked Practice

The last three decades have seen an increase of tests aimed at measuring an individual’s vocabulary level or size. The target words used in these tests are typically sampled from word frequency lists, which are in turn based on language corpora. Conventionally, test developers sample items from frequency bands of 1000 words; different tests employ different sampling ratios. Some have as few as 5 o

Background: Since 2015 operations performed in the field of endocrine surgery have been entered into the European registry EUROCRINE®. The aim of this analysis was a description of the current healthcare situation for adrenal surgery in a homogeneous healthcare environment corresponding to the German-speaking countries—or to the presence of the working group on surgical endocrinology (CAEK) of the
