Serum and urine cytokines were analyzed in children with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) was elevated in the serum of 33 of 35 children with HUS (94%) and in 2 of 2 children with recurrent TTP. Serum IL-6 was higher in children with HUS who developed anuria, extrarenal manifestations during the acute phase of illness and/or chroni
Grapes are culturally a new crop in the Swedish landscape, which demands an introduction period concerning development of knowledge about how to grow the wine. Climate changes together with the development of "cross breeding" in Vitis vinifera open up new possibilities with new grapes, that previously were not possible to grow commercially and that suits the Swedish consumers. Wine production is o
Concrete samples from demolition waste of a former pesticide plant in Sweden were analysed for total contents and leachate concentrations of potentially hazardous inorganic substances, TOC, phenols, as well as for pesticide compounds such as phenoxy acids, chlorophenols and chlorocresols. Leachates were produced by means of modified standard column leaching tests and pH-stat batch tests. Due to el
Despite great efforts, an unambiguous demonstration of entanglement of mobile electrons in solid state conductors is still lacking. Investigating theoretically a generic entangler-detector setup, we here show that a witness of entanglement between two flying electron qubits can be constructed from only two current cross correlation measurements, for any nonzero detector efficiencies and noncollineDespite great efforts, an unambiguous demonstration of entanglement of mobile electrons in solid state conductors is still lacking.

The behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology. There is a large variation in what animals are studied, in experimental paradigms and purpose.However, many studies on animal behavior have at least one thing in common - it typically involves measuring or studying the kinematics of the animal. To allow for verifiable and quantitative behavioral analysis, the experiments are recoThe behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology.

Computational Fluid Dynamics has been used to study the mixing and combustion of two confined jets whose setup and operating conditions are those of the benchmark of Roback and Johnson. Numerical model solves 3D transient Navier Stokes for turbulent and reactive flows. Averaged velocity profiles using RNG swirl dominated k-epsilon model have been validated with experimental measurements from other
The aim of this article is to explore how new industrial paths emerge and grow in peripheral regional economies. Current conceptualizations of regional path development are based on experiences from core regions and fail to provide satisfactory theoretical explanations of new path-creating activities in peripheral areas. Our conceptual approach combines the notions of path development and knowledg
Democracy and global democracy figure prominently in a number of global manifestos and petitions, which were released in conjunction with the global days and months of action taking place between 2011 and 2012. Drawing primarily on James Scott, I examine the production, circulation and contestation of three global public transcripts invoking democracy-the Manifesto for Global Democracy, the Global
In this article, the challenges posed to the European Union's (EU) role in trade policy and its implications for development policy during the World Trade Organization's Doha Development Agenda, also known as the Doha round, are highlighted. The authors argue that transformed power relations have created a situation characterized by role uncertainty for the emerging powers but also for the EU. Pri
The searching of saturation effects in inclusive and exclusive eA collisions is reviewed. In particular, we present a comparison between the linear and non-linear predictions for the nuclear structure functions as well as for the Deep Virtual Compton Scattering and vector meson production in future eA colliders.
Resistive bulk Micromegas chambers, produced at CERN, have been installed at the new CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility (GIF++) in order to study the effects of ageing and to evaluate the detector behaviour under high irradiation. The chambers have an active area of 10×10cm2, strip pitch of 400μm and an amplification gap of 128μm. We present the detector performance as a function of the background ra
Despite significant research advances achieved during the last decades, seemingly inconsistent forecasting results related to stochastic, chaotic, and black-box approaches have been reported. Herein, we attempt to address the entropy/complexity resulting from hydrological and climatological conditions. Accordingly, mutual information function, correlation dimension, averaged false nearest neighbor
Individer lämnar och har alltid lämnat arbetslivet på grund av att åldern ”tar ut sin rätt”. Dock är det sannolikt inte ålderssvaghet som är den avgörande faktornför det stora flertalet som går i ålderspension idag. Troligtvis är det istället mångaolika faktorer som har betydelse för när en individ lämnar yrkeslivet för en nylivsfas som ålderspensionär, även om det biologiska åldrandets klocka ticIn the health and medicine care service there are employees from different kind of occupations who can and want to work until they are 65 years or older. There are also employees from different occupations who can not or do not want to work until they are 65 years old. This study includes answers from 1,949 employees in nine different occupations in health and medical care service. The aim of the
