A method to enhance weak two-neutron exit channels in heavy-ion induced fusion-evaporation reactions is demonstrated with a data set from the NORDBALL detector array, True two-neutron events are enhanced in relation to spurious events from cross-talk by a factor of 30. In the process the peak-to-background ratio in the coincident gamma-ray spectra improves more than 3 times.

This thesis for the Master’s degree takes its starting point in eight library manifestos produced by International Federation of Library Association and Institutions (IFLA). The focus is on the role and missions of public libraries expressed through these manifestos. The great authority of IFLA contributes to the values of the organization and tends to become the norm for the activities of librari

Widespread discrimination across much of sub-Saharan Africa against persons with same-sex sexuality, including recent attempts in Uganda to extend criminal sanctions against same-sex behavior, are likely to have profound effects on this group’s health, health care access, and well-being. Yet knowledge of the prevalence of same-sex sexuality in this region is scarce.

Så länge människan existerat har den haft behov av hjälp och vård i samband med olyckor och sjukdom, även om den medicinska förmågan genom årtusenden varit väldigt varierande. I dagens samhälle står akutmottagningen för kunskapen, resurserna och förmågan att hjälpa människor med många akuta medicinska behov. Välfungerande akutmottagningar har därför en central roll i det moderna samhället. Den endEmergency Departments (ED) have a central role in modern healthcare, providing emergent care regardless of complaint 24/7. However, EDs are often characterized by long waiting times for patients and a stressful working environment for staff. These are features or a resource and demand mismatch, internationally known as ED crowding. Although several reports and news articles have indicated that ED

Popular Abstract in English Global invasion of our precious watercourses by cyanobacteria poses great threat to human- and animal health by deteriorating water systems. In fact, this problem is not likely to be solved in the near future as cyanobacteria are associated with pollution of waterways. Consequently, water sources are subject to contamination by natural toxins produced by abundant growthCyanobacteria blooms are a water menace since they produce potent toxins that have been implicated in poisonings and deaths of humans and animals after consumption or contact with cyanotoxin-contaminated water. Of particular concern are cyanotoxins called microcystins, which are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides known to promote development of liver tumors in humans and animals. The high toxicity and in

According to the thinking-for-speaking (TFS) hypothesis, speakers of different languages think differently while in the process of mentally preparing content for speech. The aim of the present paper is to critically discuss the research carried out within the TFS paradigm, against the background of the basic tenets laid out by the proponents of this framework. We will show that despite substantial

This article investigates factory regimes in Kryvyi Rih, a mining and metalworking city in eastern Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it studies the reproduction of industrial hegemony in the context of major post-Soviet transformations (privatization and austerity measures). The comparison of three cases representing different hegemonic configurations (mines privatized by Ukrainian busines

This chapter deals with aqueous two-phase systems, which are formed spontaneously when two polymers are mixed in water as a common solvent. Such phase-separated systems have potential as microencapsulation systems, although the major focus in research has been (bio)separation applications. Added components, such as proteins, large molecules, whole cells, and emulsion droplets, tend to partition pr

This chapter provides an overview of how claims for state redress have been articulated by memory activists and handled by representatives of the Nordic states from the 1990s to the 2020s. The main types of historical injustices under scrutiny in these processes of “politics of regret” are enslavement and overseas colonialism, abuse in care settings, and forced assimilation of the Sámi and nationa

The relationship between airway responsiveness to bronchoconstrictor- and cough-inducing stimuli has been examined in Ascaris suum-sensitized conscious guinea-pigs. Guinea-pigs were sensitized to Ascaris suum [4000 PNU and 100 mg Al(OH)3 i.p. on days 1 and 7] and then challenged with aerosolized antigen on days 21, 28 and 35. At day 35, antigen-exposure produced an early bronchoconstrictor respons

OBJECTIVE: To compare 3 immunoassays, an immune complex assay, and an application of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the diagnosis of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). MATERIAL: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 33 patients with TBM and from 34 control patients with infectious and non-infectious CNS diseases was analysed. RESULTS: The antibody immunoassays were either nonspecific or insensitive.

Sixty-two animal enterococci were examined for their binding of bovine fibrinogen, porcine fibronectin, bovine lactoferrin, bovine apotransferrin and human holotransferrin in the particle agglutination assay (PAA). Individual strains expressed binding of selected glycoproteins to various degrees (0, 1, 2, 3), whereas bovine fibrinogen binding of enterococci from goats, rabbits and rodents was the

The enzymatic and bioelectrocatalytic activity of tyrosinase from mushrooms was studied in a system of reversed micelles formed by Aerosol OT (AOT) in hexane. The optimal catechol oxidising activity of tyrosinase incorporated in reversed micelles was found at a hydration degree of w(0) = 25. The catalytic activity was comparable with tyrosinase activity in aqueous media. When immobilized at an Au

From metaphor to allegory in ecological semiotics Göran Sonesson If allegory is an extended metaphor, as classical rhetoric would have it, we should have to start by studying the latter. The system of the µ group, which I have elsewhere tried to amend and build out, steers clear of this traditional terminology, but if the resulting system should still be relevant to linguistic rhetoric, correlat
