BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, but the degree of impairment has been difficult to determine. Most studies have been performed on plasma instead of whole blood. We therefore evaluated wh
On the European aggregate level there is an inverted-U curve for long-term energy intensity. In the 19th century aggregate European energy intensity rose, followed by a declining trend during the 20th century. This article discusses the possible explanations for the declining trend during the 20th century and explores the role of energy quality as expressed in energy prices. For the first time a c
Idag betraktas dödshjälp enligt lagstiftaren som en klandervärd, och även straffbar, gärning i enlighet med bestämmelserna i 3 kap. 1 och 2 §§ BrB. Det innebär att om någon hjälper en annan individ att, med dennes samtycke, ta dennes liv, resulterar det i straffrättsliga konsekvenser. På grund av handlingens ”altruistiska karaktär” särskiljer den sig dock från de andra formerna av uppsåtligt dödanToday, in the opinion of the legislator, euthanasia is regarded as a culpable, and punishable act according to the provisions in The Swedish Penal Code chapter 3 paragraphs 1 and 2. This means that if someone helps another individual with taking his or her life, with his or her consent, it will result in criminal consequences. However, because of the “altruistic nature” of the act, it differentiat
Från och med den 1 januari 2020 skärptes straffskalan för sexköp av barn. Syftet med åtgärden var att förstärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för ungdomar mot att dras in i prostitution. Brottet är förknippat med låg åtalsfrekvens. Det har tidigare förklarats med att aktsamhetskravet i förhållande till ålder i 6 kap. 13 § BrB - som täcker flera sexualbrott med åldersgräns - var särskilt svårt att upIn January 2020 the range of punishment for exploitation of a child through the purchase of a sexual act got stricter. The reasoning behind the change was to strengthen the criminal justice protection for these children. Exploitation of a child through the purchase of a sexual act is associated with a low prosecution frequency. An explanation for this has been that the rule of negligence in the si
A new, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from an alkaliphilic B. agaradhaerens strain LS-3C, isolated front an Ethiopian soda lake. was purified up to 43-fold by starch adsorption with a yield of 50%. The enzyme was a monomer with an estimated molecular weight of 110 kDa, representing the largest Bacillus CGTase reported so far. The isoelectric point (pI) of the enzyme was 6.9. The CGTase
Popular Abstract in Swedish Humant immunbristvirus (HIV) orsakar förvärvat immunbristtillstånd (AIDS). HIV/AIDS-epidemin har hittills innefattat över 60 miljoner människor som har infekterats och över 30 miljoner av dessa har avlidit i AIDS. HIV-infektion smittar via blod, sexuellt och från mor till barn vid graviditet eller via bröstmjölk. Vid infektion infogas virusets arvsmassa i den infekteradHIV-1 is dominating the global HIV pandemic, while HIV-2 is mainly confined to West Africa. The highest HIV-2 prevalence figures have been reported from Guinea-Bissau. While HIV-1 infection almost invariably leads to progressive immune dysfunction and AIDS, HIV-2 infection is characterised by a smaller proportion of individuals with disease progression to AIDS. In order to monitor the long-term e
Increased global vegetation gross primary productivity (GPP) over the past decades has led to an enhanced terrestrial carbon sink, an important factor in mitigating global warming. However, the global spatiotemporal evolution of GPP trends is still under debate, largely limiting our understanding of the sustainability in terrestrial carbon sink. Here in this study, based on a dozen of long-term gl
Recent research provides new perspectives on large-scale Early Holocene human interaction within Eurasia, based on ancient DNA or lithic technology. But the extent of regional human mobility is not well known. In this study, we combined two different approaches to investigate regional mobility and social networks in southern Scandinavia. We analyzed strontium isotopes in human teeth and regional l
When the Church of Sweden General Synod decided to open the priesthood to women on 28 September 1958, a long theological and political debate came to an end. On Palm Sunday in 1960 the first three women were ordained as priests; over the next ten years, 54 women were ordained. This book centres on their narratives of vocation and recognition. At the heart of the book are the narratives of 34 of th
The term Anthropocene denotes a new geological epoch characterized by the unprecedented impact of human activities on the Earth’s ecosystems.

The human polymnaviruses JC virus (JCV) and BK virus (BKV) are oncogenic in experimental systems and commonly infect humans. JCV DNA has been reported to be present in human colon mucosa and in colorectal cancers. To investigate whether the risk for colorectal cancer is associated with JCV or BKV infection, we performed a case-control study nested in the Janus biobank, a cohort of 330,000 healthy
Inversion recovery (T-1) and microwave power saturation studies have been performed, between 4 and 25 K, on the EPR signal from the stable tyrosyl radical, Y-D(.), in photosystem II core complex preparations from higher plants. Measurements are reported from the dark stable S-1 and first turnover S-2 states of the photosystem catalytic Mn cluster and in two cryoprotectant regimes; sucrose and ethy
Background: Poorly differentiated midline carcinoma with a translocation between chromosomes 15 and 19, i.e. t(15; 19), has been recognized as a distinct clinical entity for over a decade. This tumor affects young individuals, shows a rapidly fatal clinical course despite intensive therapy. The t( 15; 19) results in the fusion oncogene BRD4-NUT. Information concerning treatment of this rare disord

För att minska fuktproblem kan en fuktdimensionering göras. I en fuktdimensionering behövs olika fuktberäkningar för att se hur fukttillståndet förväntas bli i eller på en yta av en konstruktion.

The adsorption of methylene blue (MB) onto zirconium phosphate (ZrP) was studied and the adsorption capacity value and isotherms were determined. The adsorption capacity of ZrP was increased after being exposed to gas phase n-butyl amine. The adsorbed MB on ZrP was used as a modifier material in carbon paste electrode (MCPE), which in turn was used in voltammetric investigations and flow injection
A youth care institution may seem like a sort of regulated home. It does not resemble a home in the sense of a private household, and the youth living there usually do not define it as a home, but it seems like a home in the sense of being a place where youth in treatment spend most of their days and nights. But is that what a home is? In many cases, people in modern societies are not supposed to
Removal of Ca2+ from PSII lead to impaired electron transfer from YZ to P680+ and to inhibition of S state transitions which results in a modified stable S2 state (probed by a stable multiline EPR signal) and the induction of the S2YZox state ("split" signal) by illumination at 0° C. We have performed an EPR study on the pH dependence of these reactions in Ca2+-depleted PSII (prepared by citrate t
