For a long time, laboratory work has been an important part of science teaching. Curricular objectives of laboratory work have remained mostly unchanged for over a century but have changed somewhat over the past sixty years as a result of political decisions and educational trends. Technology development is reflected in the increased use of digital equipment, which has also led to continuously cha

Besvär från rörelseorganen, framför allt från rygg och nacke är en av de vanligaste anledningarna till sjukfrånvaro i västvärlden. Patienter med dessa besvär utgör en stor andel av de som söker primärvården där fysioterapi ofta är första linjens vård. Rygg och nacksmärta kan orsaka nedsatt funktion och aktivitetsförmåga vilket ofta innebär en betydande förlust av livskvaliteten samt ekonomiska konPatients with back and neck pain are frequently seen in primary care, where they are directed to physiotherapy as first-line treatment. The condition affects both the individual, by causing pain and disability, and society, because of high costs caused by work disability and health care consumption. Clinicians need tools to identify, at an early stage, patients at risk of poor outcome, in order to

ETEM, Environmental Transmission Electron Microscopy är en teknik som ger möjlighet att betrakta reaktioner mellan fasta föreningar, högsmältande vätskor och gaser i realtid, och med atomär upplösning.Ett Hitachi 3300S ETEM har designats och uppförts av nCHREM, the national Center for High Resolution Electron Microscopy vid Lund Universitet. Artikeln beskriver tekniska lösningar i systemet och de A new environmental transmission electron microscope has been installed in Lund in order to investigate the growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition. We report here on the concepts behind the design of the facility and on details of the operation, and we refer to early results to highlight the new information that can be accessed from in situ studies. The

Seaweed cultivation is a large industry worldwide, but production in Europe is small compared to production in Asian countries. In the EU, the motivations for seaweed farming may be seen from two perspectives; one being economic growth through biomass production and the other being the provisioning of ecosystem services such as mitigating eutrophication. In this paper, we assess the economic potenSeaweed cultivation is a large industry worldwide, but production in Europe is small compared to production in Asian countries.

Background: To the authors' knowledge, few studies to date have examined long-term neurocognitive outcomes in survivors of childhood soft-tissue sarcoma. Methods: A total of 150 survivors (41% of whom were female with a mean current age of 33 years [SD, 8.9 years] and a time since diagnosis of 24 years [SD, 8.7 years]) and 349 community controls (56% of whom were female with a mean current age of

Purpose: To examine prevalence and predictors of neurocognitive outcomes, social attainment, emotional distress, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in long-term survivors of pediatric Wilms tumor (WT). Methods: One hundred fifty-eight WT survivors (59% female; mean [SD] age 33 [9.1] years; time since diagnosis 29 [9.1] years) and 354 community controls (55.6% female; 35 [10.2] years) compl

In the field of church history, this article is a study of the Reformation period on a specific topic, namely, asceticism, from an uncommon perspective. One of the most well-known Reformation treatises, Martin Luther’s On the Freedom of a Christian, is read in conversation with an earlier ascetic wri¬ting, Maximus Confessor’s The Ascetic Life, and then compared to an under¬stu¬died debate from the

Лише останніми роками інтелектуальна історія євгеніки в Східній Європі стала предметом систематичного академічного дослідження. Проте євгенічна думка в міжвоєнній українській радикально-націоналістичній традиції залишається історіографічною terra incognito. Ця стаття — перша спроба дослідження євгеніки й расової антропології в українській націоналістичній думці 1930—1960-х років. Яку роль відіграв

Mounting evidence indicates that the presence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and risk factors elevates the incidence of cognitive impairment (CI) and dementia. CVD and associated decline in cardiovascular function can impair cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation, leading to the disruption of oxygen and nutrient supply in the brain where limited intracellular energy storage capacity critically depe
