Background & Aims: Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) is a 33-amino acid peptide hormone secreted by enteroendocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion. GLP-2 stimulates crypt cell proliferation leading to expansion of the mucosal epithelium; however, the mechanisms transducing the trophic effects of GLP-2 are incompletely understood. Methods: We examined the gene expression profiles and gro
Increasing efforts to produce power from renewable resources and improve the efficiency of current industrial processes have turned the spotlight on organic Rankine cycles (ORC). The use of refrigerant mixtures in these cycles offers a wide range of possibilities for fluid selection and optimization. Moreover, zeotropic mixtures are reported to yield better cycle performances due to their better t

This paper uses an analytical framework of multi-level and multi-phase perspectives to explore low carbon transition pathways for the UK road transport system. The work draws on the impact made by the national (UK) and regional (EU) low carbon policy instruments on the UK road sector. The results show that the transformation pathway, which is at the take-off phase on a large scale, is the only ful
This works analyzes the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in connection with equality and non-discrimination. The thesis has two major parts. The first part discusses a possible pattern or standard to predict the results of the Inter-American Court in connection with equality and non-discrimination. The author revised cases from this Court in order to predict when the Court
In the Western political science literature of the late 20th and early 21st century, the Middle East has often been described, not only as authoritarian, but also as impervious to democracy. Institutional, structural, and cultural explanations were advanced to explain this democracy deficit. This article will debunk the notion that democratization in the Middle East is limited by entrenched Muslim
Thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery cells poses significant safety risks due to rapid heat generation and potential thermal propagation within a battery system. This study investigates the total heat released and the fraction of energy contained in gas and particles ejected during thermal runaway using a purpose-built calorimeter setup. The results show that the fraction of ejected heat is sign
For several centuries, the dominant worldview in industrial societies has held that various problems --such as those recently identified as relating to sustainability-- can be solved through technological progress. Technological progress has been conceived as the fruits of engineering science, new knowledge, and innovation. While knowledge of the principles of physics is certainly a necessary cond
New legislation, rules and regulations concerning food waste creation mostly aim at private households and not the industry sector. This thesis is broaching on the issue of food waste within the food service sector to tackle the problem on a managerial level. The research question tries to answer in which way the food service sector, with special focus on Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), can redu
This case study investigates the potentials, greenhouse gas (GHG), and energy performance of forest residue biofuels produced by new and emerging production technologies, which are commercially implemented in Sweden for heavy transport. The biofuel options included are ethanol (ED 95), hydro-processed vegetable oil (HVO), and liquefied biogas (LBG) produced from logging residues in forestry and sa
BackgroundDespite the fact that eldercare services are organizationally part of social work in Sweden, the social work practice is disappearing and older people are expected to take the responsibility for their own well-being. In this context, they have to create their own sense of meaningfulness in their everyday life, despite being subject to social care services.Methods As part of a research pr
Detta forskningsområde fokuserar på hur hållbarhetsövergångar påverkar naturresurser och leveranskedjor, hur dessa förändringar uppfattas påverka säkerheten och hur dessa uppfattningar utlöser respons från olika aktörer. Hållbarhetsövergångar påverkar materialiteten i försörjningskedjor och infrastrukturnätverk. Att minska användningen av fossila resurser och kolintensiva produktionsmetoder ökar This research area focuses on how sustainability transitions impact natural resources and supply chains, how these changes are perceived to affect security and how these perceptions trigger response by different actors. Sustainability transitions impact the materiality of supply chains and infrastructure networks. Reducing the use of fossil resources and carbon intensive production methods increa

Thymus colonisation and thymocyte positioning are regulated by interactions between CCR7 and CCR9, and their respective ligands, CCL19/CCL21 and CCL25. The ligands of CCR7 and CCR9 also interact with the atypical receptor CCRL1 (also known as ACKR4), which is expressed in the thymus and has recently been reported to play an important role in normal alpha beta T-cell development. Here, we show that
District heating satisfies about 60% of the heat demand in Swedish buildings. Today, more than two thirds of the heat supply to the district heating systems is based on biomass and waste, and biomass alone accounts for about half of the heat supply. The purpose of this paper is to present the Swedish experiences of introducing and expanding the use of biomass in the district heating systems and to
Methanol is a promising renewable fuel that can be used to reduce the carbon intensity of internal combustion engines. In any combustion strategy with methanol, both unburned methanol and formaldehyde emissions are criteria pollutants that are potential drawbacks, so their accurate measurement is critical. The flame ionization detectors (FIDs) typically used in engine research to measure unburned
