Floran i Skåne. Arterna och deras utbredning

Detta är det andra fristående bandet av Lunds Botaniska Förenings praktverk om floran i Skåne och utgör resultatet av Projekt Skånes Flora - den inventering av landskapets kärlväxtflora som startade 1990. I Arterna och deras utbredning presenteras de mer än 3600 växter som någon gång påträffats som vildväxande i Skåne. Under Projekt Skånes Flora har 2800 olika växter blivit funna i landskapet och

Emotions in Academia

An old building belonging to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, situated on the bank of Amsterdam's Kaisergracht canal, formed the home of a small research department specializing in the study of dialects and Dutch folk culture up until 1988. Excerpts, records, photos and drawings were collected here in these run-down premises. It was a relatively closed setting, not highly ranked

In-group bias control

Popular Abstract in Swedish Många människor förespråkar en egalitär norm. I detta ingår att man ska bemöta människor på lika villkor och inte låta sig påverkas av irrelevanta faktorer som människors etniska ursprung, sexuella läggning eller norska brytning. Forskning visar dock att vi människor tenderar att tänka i termer av kategorier, och detta gäller även hur vi uppfattar andra människor. Vi ärThis thesis explores in-group bias control. It is well-known that people tend to have extra liking for people they identify themselves with. An extra positive in-group attitude may cause discrimination, even in the absence of any negative attitudes towards the out-group. At the same time are many people motivated to behave and present themselves as unbiased. We study whether people attempt to cont

Om konstkritik. Studier av konstkritik i svensk dagspress 1990-2000

The book is a part of the result of a project, funded by HSFR (The Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences). In general it comprises the art criticism in the Swedish daily press from 1990-2000. The studies have a common focus on the text of the art criticism, in contrast to older research on art criticism, which uses the text primarily as a source of knowledge about the

The Association Between APOE epsilon 4 and Alzheimer-type Dementia Among Memory Clinic Patients is Confined to those with a Higher Education. The DESCRIPA Study

We assessed the interaction between the APOE epsilon 4 allele and education level in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) among memory clinic patients from the multicenter DESCRIPA study. Subjects (n = 544) were followed for 1 to 5 years. We used Cox's stratified survival modeling, adjusted for age, gender, and center. APOE epsilon 4 predicted the onset of AD-type dementia in middle (HR 3.45 9

Incretin, insulinotropic and glucose-lowering effects of whey protein pre-load in type 2 diabetes: a randomised clinical trial

Aims/hypothesis Since protein ingestion is known to stimulate the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), we hypothesised that enhancing GLP-1 secretion to harness its insulinotropic/beta cell-stimulating activity with whey protein pre-load may have beneficial glucose-lowering effects in type 2 diabetes. Methods In a randomised, open-label crossover clinical trial, we studied 15 individuals

A quantitative comparison of bird and bat wakes.

Qualitative comparison of bird and bat wakes has demonstrated significant differences in the structure of the far wake. Birds have been found to have a unified vortex wake of the two wings, while bats have a more complex wake with gradients in the circulation along the wingspan, and with each wing generating its own vortex structure. Here, we compare quantitative measures of the circulation in the

Glucose-lowering effect of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin after glucose and non-glucose macronutrient ingestion in non-diabetic subjects.

AIM: Recent studies suggest that the incretin concept is not restricted to glucose ingestion but relevant also after non-glucose macronutrient administration. We therefore hypothesized that raising incretin hormones reduces circulating glucose after both glucose and non-glucose macronutrient ingestion in healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve healthy subjects received the dipeptidyl peptid

High-k oxides on InAs 100 and 111B surfaces

Al2O3 and HfO2 high-k oxides deposited by atomic layer deposition have been studied on InAs 100 and 111B surfaces. By using a low-frequency fitting routine, interface defect densities have been extracted. In general, both HfO2 and Al2O3 show similar D-it profiles, with a D-it minimum around 2x10(12) eV(-1)cm(-2).

Inhibition of HIV-1 disease progression by contemporaneous HIV-2 infection.

BACKGROUND: Progressive immune dysfunction and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develop in most persons with untreated infection with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) but in only approximately 20 to 30% of persons infected with HIV type 2 (HIV-2); among persons infected with both types, the natural history of disease progression is poorly understood. METHODS: We analyzed d
