Late effects of polio (LEoP), a chronic progressive neuromuscular condition that affects people who have had polio earlier in life. LEoP manifests with new symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and pain, and can also have consequences for an individual’s level of activity and participation. People with LEoP can benefit from comprehensive rehabilitation, with focus on enabling activity and par
This chapter examines discourses on the digitalization of consumption based on field work conducted at some of the many trade fairs for e-commerce that pop up every year in different cities all over Europe. It builds on studying the role played by consumer research in the performative enactment of consumer subjectivities. The chapter focuses on how consumer subjectivities are constructed and how p
Low temperature constitutes one of the main barriers to plant distributions, confining many clades to their ancestrally tropical biome. However, recent evidence suggests that transitions from tropical to temperate biomes may be more frequent than previously thought. Here, we study the evolution of cold and frost tolerance in the globally distributed and highly stress-tolerant Salicornieae (Salicor
Paleontological observations of ancient flora and fauna provide powerful insights into past diversity and relationshipdynamics between organisms and their environments. Diatoms are globally distributed protists thatinfluence major biogeochemical cycles and sustain oceanic food webs. The fossil diatom record extends 120million years back to the Early Cretaceous where rare deposits were discovered w
Betrayal often hits the very foundations of socials bonds: the loyalty of the “We” that we have assumed and taken for granted is broken. This chapter will begin with a discussion of the meaning of betrayal where it is argued that betrayal is a breach of trust, when information is shared, or actions initiated beyond an agreed upon boundary of relations.The image of betrayal is associated with moral
Fluorescence, the optical phenomenon whereby short-wavelength light is absorbed and emitted at longer wavelengths, has been widely described in aquatic habitats, in both invertebrates and fish. Recent years have seen a stream of articles reporting fluorescence, ranging from frogs, platypus, to even fully terrestrial organisms such as flying squirrels, often explicitly or implicitly linking the pre
BACKGROUND: In patients with a degenerative tear of the medial meniscus, recent meta-analyses and systematic reviews have shown no treatment benefit of arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) over conservative treatment or placebo surgery. Yet, advocates of APM still argue that APM is cost effective. Giving advocates of APM their due, we note that there is evidence from the treatment of other musc
1. The NAD analogue, N6-[N-(6-aminohexyl)carbamoylmethyl]-NAD, was covalently bound to horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase in a carbodiimide-mediated reaction and in such a way that it was active with the very same enzyme molecule to which it was coupled. 2. The degree of substitution, i.e. the number of NAD analogues per enzyme subunit, could be varied (0.3 - 1.6). In one preparation 1.6 coenzyme m
In steroid transformations some of the advantages of immobilized microorganisms seem to be especially important, since the manufacture of steroid drugs often involves very expensive intermediates and products (1). Therefore, we have been studying two corticosteroid transformations. The first reaction is an 11-β-hydroxylation catalyzed by free or polyacrylamide immobilized Curvularia lunata, p
The cofactor analogue N6-((6-aminohexyl)-carbamoylmethyl)-NAD was bound to beef heart lactate dehydrogenase by the glutaraldehyde coupling method and the enzyme-coenzyme complex subsequently separated from excess of non-coupled cofactor by gel filtration chromatography. The number of cofactor molecules bound per enzyme molecule could be varied between 0 and 8 by altering the coupling time. The enz
