Arsenic methylating enzyme (AS3MT) genetic variations and their role in variability of As metabolism were evaluated in population of pregnant/non-pregnant women exposed to low levels of As. We have tested the associations between genotypes/haplotype of seven AS3MT SNPs and As metabolites in urine (methylation efficiency). Significant associations of individual SNPs and protective haplotype with ar
Galectins form a family of structurally related carbohydrate binding proteins (lectins) that have been identified in a large variety of metazoan phyla. They are involved in many biological processes such as morphogenesis, control of cell death, immunological response, and cancer. To elucidate the evolutionary history of galectins and galectin-like proteins in chordates, we have exploited three ind
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen tar upp frågor om prästernas arbetsmiljö och deras roll och identitet. I inledningskapitlet framhölls att flera faktorer är viktiga för en undersökning om prästernas arbetsmiljö och för utformningen av prästrollen och prästidentiteten. Det omgivande samhället, de organisatoriska ramarna och de förväntningar som ställs på prästerna är några sådana faktorer, In this dissertation the work environment and the roles and identities of the clergy in the Church of Sweden are investigated. It is said in the first chapter that there are several factors influencing the work environment and that these factors are important for the formation of the roles and identities of the clergy. The surrounding society, the organization, and the expectations directed at the
Popular Abstract in Undetermined Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Nästäppa, som betyder svårigheter att andas med näsan är ett vanligt symtom i befolkningen, och en vanlig orsak till att patienter söker vård. Kronisk nästäppa är ett frekvent symtom (ca 40 % av vuxna) som ofta medför mun-andning med torra slemhinnor i munhåla och svalg samt snarkning till följd. Nässkiljeväggen, septSubjective nasal obstruction is a common chronic complaint caused by mucosal disease, skeletal abnormality or a combination of both. The challenge is to determine the main cause and to decide whether the intervention should be medical or surgical. Diagnosis is done by a combination of rhinoscopy, subjective and objective assessments of nasal obstruction. Rhinomanometry measures the nasal airway re
In the last decade 3D technologies have become a very effective means for managing and interpreting archaeological data. A better way to perceive, understand and communicate Cultural Heritage has been achieved through VR applications, which have enabled archaeologists both to make reconstructions of original landscapes and to put artifacts in their original context. Furthermore, the pervasive grow
The aim of this article was to analyze the retold experiences of 27 survivors from the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I have examined verbal markers of reconciliation and implacability and I have analyzed described terms for reconciliation that are being actualized in the narratives. In the narratives of those interviewed, implacability is the prominent them, but the possibility of reconcili
The quality in the exchange of technical data in the extended enterprise is mainly defined by the geometrical consistence of the transferred information. Methods and definitions that cover the remaining aspects of data exchange have to be developed. This article discusses a new standardization effort for the exchange management of technical data (ENGDAT version 3) and provides a methodology as wel
The aim of the present doctoral thesis is to study and conceptualize juridification as a phenomenon. This aim comprises analyzing the theories through which juridification as an empirical development is interpreted. In this thesis juridification signifies displacements towards legal discourse. Juridification comes about when an issue that was previously dealt with within a cultural, ethical, polit
The Epistle to the Hebrews has been an exceptionally significant text in Christian-Jewish relations. In particular, certain passages have been interpreted in ways that assume that Christianity supersedes Judaism. In this article it is argued that reading the epistle without presupposing supersessionism, Heb. will be acknowledged as one of those subject matters which, in the words of Nostra Aetate,
Wearable medical devices can be positioned around the torso for monitoring of critical health parameters. The signal transmission between them is through a wireless link over an on-body propagation channel. In this paper, the effect of some factors which could influence the propagation channel around the torso as: (a) frequency of operation (b) positions of the arms (c) material of a chair used, h
In cold climates all user requirements for footwear (insulation, waterproof, vapour permeability, drying etc.) can’t be met easily due to their conflicting nature. Defining user conditions is important. Cold may be roughly divided into the three ranges (>+5; +5 to 10; < 10 °C). The choice of proper footwear may be based on this approach. It also reduces some of the conflicting user requirements. U

In the last decades one of the main topics in the international intellectual property forum has been the biopiracy issue. Genetic resources and traditional knowledge from developing nations are being misappropriated (i.e. biopiracy), by commercial actors in order to receive patent protection. Developments in genetics and biotechnology have intensified the controversy and attempts were initially so
The 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) introduced human rights due diligence (HRDD) as a societal expectation to businesses to implement a new kind of due diligence risk management process to ‘know and show’ they respect human rights. Ten years later, mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation imposing a legal duty to carry out HRDD has become mainstream
Sverige är ett av få länder som har tagit fram en nationell handlingsplan för att omsätta FN:s vägledande principer för företag och mänskliga rättigheter på nationell nivå. FN:s vägledande principer skapar inga nya folkrättsliga förpliktelser, utan uppmuntrar endast stater att ta fram nationella handlingsplaner för att omsätta principerna på nationell nivå. Sveriges framtagande av planen kan såled
Kycklingkött är det kött med minst klimatpåverkan och fjäderfän, Gallus gallus, är den djurart som det föds upp flest av i världen. I Sverige ökar antalet fjäderfä samtidigt som den genomsnittliga besättningsstorleken ökar. Det är mer väsentligt än någonsin att hönsen som vi använder inom livsmedelsproduktionen mår bra och har en hög djurvälfärd. Synen är det sinnet som fåglarna använder mest och Factory produced chicken meat has the lowest climate impact and domesticated poultry, (Gallus gallus), is the world's most commonly bred animal. In Sweden the production of poultry is increasing, also the size of an average facility with chickens is increasing. Vision is their dominant sense organ and the vision is important for the animals to be able to explore their environment and search fo
