Background : Currently, antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended for all HIV-positive patients with tuberculosis (TB). The timing of ART during the course of anti-TB treatment is based on CD4 cell counts. Access to CD4 cell testing is not universally available; this constitutes an obstacle for the provision of ART in low-income countries. Objective : To determine clinical variables associated w
Incentive-based conservation has become a significant part of how tropical forests are being governed. Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) is a mechanism to mitigate climate change that many countries have started to implement. REDD+, however, is criticized for its potential negative impacts on local populations and Indigenous people. To prevent and mitigate the ne
The arsenic adsorption characteristics of a macroporous polymer coated with coprecipi-tated iron-aluminium hydroxides (MHCMP) is evaluated in this study. The MHCMP had a maximum adsorption capacity of 82.3 and 49.6 mg As/g adsorbent for As(III) and As(V) ions respectively. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) confirmed that binding of As(III) ions took place on the iron hydroxides coat
In a previous study, we detected a significant association between phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) hyper-methylation and mRNA levels to outcome to tamoxifen treatment in recurrent disease. We here aimed to study the association of PSAT1 protein levels to outcome upon tamoxifen treatment and to obtain more insight in its role in tamoxifen resistance. A cohort of ER positive, hormonal thera
CsrRS (or CovRS) is a two-component system implicated in the control of multiple virulence determinants in the important human pathogen, group A Streptococcus (GAS). Earlier studies suggested that extracellular Mg(2+) signalled through the presumed sensor histidine kinase, CsrS. We now confirm those findings, as complementation of a csrS mutant restored Mg(2+)-dependent gene regulation. Moreover,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vilken typ av mat vi konsumerar och hur den produceras har stor inverkan på vår miljö och hälsa. Den globala livsmedelsproduktionen ockuperar drygt en tredjedel av världens markyta, står för runt 30 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och är identifierad som ett av de största hoten mot vår miljö. Vi lever också i en värld där nästan en miljard människor går hungriga och ännuFood production and consumption are key drivers of environmental pressures and essential factors in the promotion and maintenance of health. Production of food occupies more than 1/3 of global land areas and is estimated to be responsible for some 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, we live in a world where nearly one billion people go hungry and even more people suffer from
The arctic tern Sterna paradisaea completes the longest known annual return migration on Earth, traveling between breeding sites in the northern arctic and temperate regions and survival/molt areas in the Antarctic pack-ice zone. Salomonsen (1967, Biologiske Meddelelser, Copenhagen Danske Videnskabernes Selskab, 24, 1) put forward a hypothetical comprehensive interpretation of this global migratio
The petrochemicals industry (mainly plastics and fertilizer production) is expanding, despite increasing attention to the environmental impact of petrochemicals. In our paper, we explore the role public finance plays in the petrochemicals industry. We do so by mapping the public and private financial flows into large-scale petrochemical projects for the decade 2010-20 and discuss the role of publi
This study examines the multidimensional conflicts arising from land commodification through second-home development in Ziarat village, Iran, addressing a critical research gap in developing rentier states. Employing grounded theory methodology with data from 75 stakeholder interviews, the research identifies conflicts at individual-individual, individual-institutional, and institutional-instituti
Academic discussion of climate-related human mobility has understandably focused on the places where people are especially vulnerable to climate-related harm: the Global South. Yet, the unique biophysical, legal and socio-political characteristics of the Nordic region, as well as its roles as both ‘home’ and ‘host’ to climate-related mobilities, justify its independent attention. Filling this lacu
Varför kommer inte studenterna på undervisningen?Många lärare på LTH har frågat sig detta eftersom vi ser en tydlig negativ trend: antalet studenter som närvarar på campusförlagda föreläsningar och övningar i grundutbildningen minskar för varje år som går. Eftersom studentnärvaro länge har setts som en nyckelfaktor för studieframgång, kommer det inte som en överraskning att många inom högre utbildThe importance of attendance in higher education has for decades been stressed forstudent performance. However, student absenteeism has in recent years been a growingconcern globally – including in engineering education. Meanwhile, the educationalenvironment has been influenced by the rise of digital learning resources, acceleratedby distance education during COVID-19 pandemic. The changed behavio
Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su
Since the end of the Cold War, EU migration policy has been subjected to securitization, and migrants have been viewed as potential threats to European security and homogeneity. However, in recent years the migration-development nexus has experienced a renaissance. The benefits of migration have increasingly come to influence the policy agenda. In this setting, the Global Approach to Migration de
Objective: This study evaluates whether food intake affects systolic and diastolic echocardiographic measurements in healthy seniors. Methods: Thirty healthy subjects 65–70 years of age were investigated with echocardiography, at fasting and then 30, 90, and 180 min after a meal. Results: After 30 min the biggest changes were seen in left ventricular wall stress and myocardial performance index wi
The social sciences have many different understandings of ‘normative power’, but in European Union (EU) studies normative power has three particular meanings. The first meaning of normative power is its emphasis on normative theory, that is, how we judge and justify truth claims in social science. The second meaning of normative power is as a form of power that is ideational rather than material o
