Imagine a world in which damaged parts of the body – an arm, an eye, and ultimately a region of the brain – can be replaced by artificial implants capable of restoring or even enhancing human performance. The associated improvements in the quality of human life would revolutionize the medical world and produce sweeping changes across society. In this chapter, we discuss several approaches to the f
BACKGROUND: Iodine has been suggested to protect against breast cancer, but there are no epidemiologic studies on individual risk. An interesting finding is that in areas where the exposure to both selenium and iodine are high (e.g., Japan), the risk of breast cancer is lower than in areas where selenium is high and iodine low (e.g., United States), or in areas where both are low (e.g., Northern E
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) provides a platform for spatial data sharing and is a key for sustainable development. Developing countries, including Tanzania, are at different stages of implementing SDIs. The importance and advantage of implementation lie in the fact that considerable funds can be saved by avoiding duplication of data, and improving quality of decisions making as well as publi

Seriepositionseffekter och recency-kvoten har visat potential som kliniska verktyg riktade mot neurokognitiva störningar, de har dock förblivit outforskade i Claeson-Dahls Test för inlärning och minne (CDT). Den aktuella studien syftade att fylla kunskapsluckan, vilket gjordes genom naturalistiskt insamlade data (N = 110) från ett projekt avsett att uppdatera CDT:s normer. Jag hypotiserade förekomSerial positioning effects and the derived recency ratio has shown increasing promise as clinical tools for evaluating neurocognitive disorders. These measures have remained unexplored in Claeson-Dahl’s Test for verbal learning and retention (CDT). To correct this, the present study used naturalistic sample data (N = 110) from a project intended to update CDT’s norms. I hypothesized the prevalence
In the spring of 2018 a study by Stefan Sellbjer at Linnaeus University showed on one hand that several professors did not believe they could meet the school's knowledge requirements in their own subjects. Parents, on the other hand, thought that the knowledge requirements were so abstract and complex that they could no longer question their children about the homewor
In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish AcademyDictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work. The dictionary contains over 500,000 entries and describes the Swedish language from the 1520s to the present day. However, a consequence of the extended time of publication is that a significant part of the content, in particular in the first volumes, was out In 2023, the first edition of the diachronic-contemporary Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOB) was finished after more than 130 years of work.

This study examines crisis management work and crisis preparedness ability among Swedish universities - contributing to fill out the existing research gap within this area. It takes 20 crisis management plans into account, focusing on four more in particular along with the undertaking of semi-structured interviews with four university Vice-Chancellors. Furthermore, a conventional content analy
ABSTRACT: Simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) is one process option for production of ethanol from lignocellulose. The principal benefits of performing the enzymatic hydrolysis together with the fermentation, instead of in a separate step after the hydrolysis, are the reduced end-product inhibition of the enzymatic hydrolysis, and the reduced investment costs. The principal drawba
BackgroundIn the splice variant factor (F)V-Short, 702 residues are deleted from the B domain, resulting in exposure of an acid region (AR2; 1493-1537) that binds TFPIα. FV-Short and protein S serve as synergistic TFPIα cofactors in inhibition of FXa. In the preAR2 region, a hydrophobic patch PLVIVGL (1481-1487) is crucial for synergistic TFPIα-cofactor activity and assembly of FV-Short, TFPIα, an
Rural to urban migration is radically changing the face of rural development with far-reaching implications on agriculture and rural transformation. The study examines the relationship between rural-urban migration and agricultural development in Kenya. The aim of the study is to determine the effects of rural-urban migration on agricultural development by using a case study of a sub-location in N
AbstractRecent research in the wider archaeological landscape of Great Zimbabwe recovered moreevidence of metallurgical tuyeres fused in varied multiples indicative of their use in natural draft iron smelting technologies. We report the first detailed chemical, microstructural and thermal analyses of these ceramic materials most likely associated with large-scale iron production at the zenith of tWe report the first detailed chemical, microstructural and thermal analyses of a growing corpus of metallurgical tuyeres from the wider archaeological landscape of Great Zimbabwe in southern Africa. Of note is the fusion of the tuyeres in multiples, suggestive of widespread use of natural draft iron smelting technologies for large-scale production of iron most likely during the zenith period of Gr

Difficulties in attracting student teachers have resulted in research focusing on student teachers' motives for studying to join the profession. Because previous findings are mixed, the first aim of this study was to explore motives for students to become teachers. A second aim was to explore the relationship between teachers' motives and their academic engagement and dropout rates at the end of t
Sound frequencies are represented in the primary auditory cortex (PAC) in a tonotopic structure which can be measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A previous study has investigated vowels [ɑ] and [i] and seen a correlation between the vowels’ activation and the activation of simple tones corresponding to the vowels’ formant frequencies.
