Statement of Purpose: Chronic lung diseases are one of the major health problems that cause death and disability. Approximately 65 million people suffer from chronic lung diseases, and the number of patients is predicted to increase worldwide 1 . Lung transplantation is the only available treatment option for patients at end-stage disease. However, there is a chronic shortage of donor organs, re

This chapter discusses the history of the modern German university and the topicality of Wilhelm von Humboldt’s ideas. A key issue is how the Humboldtian tradition, with its origin in Prussia around the year 1800, was transformed and has informed debates about research, higher education and academic freedom ever since. Drawing on recent scholarship, this chapter investigates the ways in which Humb

The article provides empirical evidence on the use of two types of security in medieval finance: conditional hostageship and the community responsibility system. Both exposed guarantors to imprisonment or confiscation. Evidence from Dordrecht shows the former was frequently applied but was not very disruptive. However, the latter community responsibility system did lead to reprisals against mercha

Charge balance functions reflect the evolution of charged pair correlations throughout the stagesof pair production, dynamical diffusion, and hadronization in heavy-ion collisions. Microscopic mod-eling of these correlations in the full collision volume shows that the balance functions are sensitiveto the diffusivity of light quarks when studied as functions of relative azimuthal angle. By restric

Folkesundhed – bag om intentioner og strategier stiller skarpt på de eksisterende sundhedsforståelser i Danmark samt de rammer, tiltag og inventioner, som aktuelt udspiller sig med sigte på at styrke folkesundheden.Bogens hovedsigte er danne at grundlag for og inspiration til nuancerede og kritiske refleksioner over de aktuelle folkesundhedspraksisser og -strategier. Bogen belyser bl.a. medicinske

Fysisk aktivitet, eller motion, er en KRAM-faktor, der tænkes som bærende element for et sundt liv og en sund befolkning. Fysisk aktivitet sætter sig igennem i samfundet som noget, der er vigtigt at gøre, og. motion anvendes i stigende grad som forebyggende indsats og behandlingsform i det medicinske felt. Fysisk aktivitet indgår ofte som et element i sundhedsprofessionelles udviklingsprojekter, t

Over the last few decades, the African Sahel has become thefocus of many studies regarding vegetation dynamics and theirrelationships with climate and people. This is because rainfalllimits the production of biomass in the region, a resource onwhich people are directly dependent for their livelihoods. In thisstudy, we utilized a remote-sensing approach to answering thefollowing two questions: (1)

Accurate knowledge about the amount and dynamics of terrestrial gross primary productivity is an important component for understanding of ecosystem functioning and processes. Recently a new diagnostic model, Southampton Carbon Flux (SCARF), was developed to predict terrestrial gross primary productivity at regional to global scale based on a chlorophyll index derived from MERIS data. The model aim

Genom några exempel påvisar artikeln förekomsten av republikanska och revolutionära tankegångar i den radikala tidningen Fäderneslandet på 1850- och 1860-talen.
