I slutet av juli har en grupp botaniker inventerat kärlväxter i låglandet i Stora Sjöfallets nationalpark. Syftet med inventeringen var att samla in kunskap till Svenska Botaniska Föreningens kärlväxtatlas.

This study aims to explore the variety of previously unknown morphologies that brain lipids form in aqueous solutions. We study how these structures are dependent on cholesterol content, salt solution composition, and temperature. For this purpose, dispersions of porcine sphingomyelin with varying amounts of cholesterol as well as dispersions of porcine brain lipid extracts were investigated. We u

In this paper, we study the effect of optimizing the per-antenna digital predistortion (DPD) sizes on the performance of the downlink massive MIMO system with residual hardware impairment. In particular, we first quantify the capacity after applying some per-antenna DPD with different numbers of coefficients at each antenna and then maximize the capacity by finding optimum values of the per-antenn

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the occurrence of strategic error in using key performance indicators (KPIs) in innovation Design/methodology/approach: This case study was conducted at the innovation department of an organization in the process industry that operates production sites and sales organisations worldwide. Observations and interviews werTo date, measuring innovation has not been an exact science. As in many areas of organizational life, errors in measuring innovation are a recurring fact. Innovation researchers and practitioners alike have become increasingly interested in understanding the occurrence of organizational errors and how these errors affect innovation and its measurement. This empirical study aims to address this und

Medium and high internal phase W1/O/W2 multiple Pickering emulsions (MPEs) were fabricated by physically-modified hordein nanoparticles. A triphasic system was developed at dispersed phase volume fraction (Φ) of 0.5 with an overrun value of ∼40%. No overrun was detected in high internal phase MPEs (Φ 0.8). Optical and confocal laser scanning microscopy confirmed the formation of MPEs. Monomodal dr

Aquaporins play a crucial role in water homeostasis in the human body, and recently the physiological importance of aquaporins as glycerol channels have been demonstrated. The aquaglyceroporins (AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP10) represent key glycerol channels, enabling glycerol flux across the membranes of cells. Adipocytes are the major source of glycerol and during lipolysis, glycerol is released to

Evaluation of recommender systems is an actively discussed topic in the recommender system community. However, some aspects of evaluation have received little to no attention, one of them being whether evaluating recommender system algorithms with single-number metrics is sufficient. When presenting results as a single number, the only possible assumption is a stable performance over time regardle

BACKGROUND: Despite an increase in work-life balance literature, the development of successful support to help employees manage their work -life balance is slow. Moreover, there are few interventions with a comprehensive approach to workplace health promotion focusing on work-life balance. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to present the development and building blocks of a holistic interdisciplinary hea

Numerous studies indicate that heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) participate in a network of complex molecular events involving amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing and formation, oligomerization, intracellular targeting, clearance, and propagation of amyloid β in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A mutual functional interplay between recycling glypican-1 and APP processing has been demonstrated

This chapter describes a study focusing on electrochemically assisted biosensors. Electrochemical regeneration of electron-transfer mediators or cofactors, such as NAD+ has been extensively applied in redox reactions catalyzed by oxidoreductases. This electrochemical regeneration shows many advantages in use of amperometric biosensors, such as extended linear range. To demonstrate the feasibility

β-1,4-Galactosyltransferase 7 (β4GalT7) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of two classes of glycosaminoglycans (GAG), i.e., heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS). GAG chains are linear polysaccharides of alternating hexuronic acid and N-acetylhexosamine residues, commonly linked to core proteins to form proteoglycans with important roles in the regulation of a range of biolo

Background: An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture results in an increased risk of developing knee osteoarthritis (OA) at an early age. Before clinical signs become apparent, the OA process has already been initiated. Therefore, it is important to look at the cascade of changes, such as the activity of cytokines and proteases, which might be associated with the later development of OA. Purpos

Although glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are known to be involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, knowledge about their expression by cells or tissues, the GAGome, is limited. Xylosides can be used to induce the formation of GAGs without the presence of a proteoglycan core protein. The administration of xylosides to living cells tends to result in a considerable amplification i

OBJECTIVE: Determination of lactate in fetal scalp blood (FBS) during labour has been recognised since the 1970s. The internationally accepted cutoff of >4.8 mmol/l indicating fetal acidosis is exclusive for the point-of-care device (POC) LactatePro™, which is no longer in production. The aim of this study was to establish a new cutoff for scalp lactate based on neonatal outcomes with the use of t

The prevalence of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in the general child population is still largely unknown and validated screening instruments are lacking. The aims of this study were (1) to investigate the prevalence of children screening positive for ARFID in a Japanese birth cohort using a newly developed parent-reported screening tool, (2) to estimate the prevalence of childr

This paper presents a search for dark matter in the context of a two-Higgs-doublet model together with an additional pseudoscalar mediator, a, which decays into the dark-matter particles. Processes where the pseudoscalar mediator is produced in association with a single top quark in the 2HDM+a model are explored for the first time at the LHC. Several final states which include either one or two ch

Status Epilepticus (SE) is often a neurological emergency characterized by abnormally sustained, longer than habitual seizures. The new ILAE classification reports that SE “…can have long-term consequences including neuronal death, neuronal injury…depending on the type and duration of seizures”. While it is accepted that generalized convulsive SE exerts detrimental effects on the brain, it is not

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide and mostly affects men. Around 20% of its incidence is by familiar disposition due to hereditary syndromes. The CRC treatment involves surgery and chemotherapy; however, the side effects of treatments and the fast emergence of drug resistance evidence the necessity to find more effective drugs. Curcumin is the main polyp
