This work was performed to quantify the performance of extracts and saponins in residues generated by exporters of quinoa in the departments of La Paz, Oruro and Potosi, determining that the extraction yields range from 36.0 % to 39.4 % w/w, while the percentage of saponins in the extract ranged from 47.3 % to 56.2 % and saponins in the residues from 17.3 % to 22.1 %. Additionally, a method was op

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease with onset in young adults, but little is known about the prevalence in older age groups. Furthermore, there is very limited information of health status of elderly patients with AS. Our objective was to estimate the prevalence of moderate to severe radiographic sacroiliitis in elderly men and its impact on health.

Synapsins are pre-synaptic vesicle-associated proteins linked to the pathogenesis of epilepsy through genetic association studies in humans. Deletion of synapsins causes an excitatory/inhibitory imbalance, exemplified by the epileptic phenotype of synapsin knockout mice. These mice develop handling-induced tonic-clonic seizures starting at the age of about 3 months. Hence, they provide an opportun

Popular Abstract in Swedish Resenärsinformation utformad för att uppfylla behov och förväntningar hos enskilda resenärer är viktigt för att förbättra resandet i kollektivtrafiken bland äldre personer och personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Det övergripande syftet med den här avhandlingen är att bidra till kunskapen om behov och användning av resenärsinformation bland äldre personer och personer mTraveller information designed to fulfil needs and expectations of individual travellers is a key factor in improving access for older people and people with disabilities to public transport. The overall aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of user and provider perspectives on the provision of traveller information for older people and people with disabilities in public transport w

In this paper we revisit some facts about thin interpolating sequences in the unit disc from three perspectives: uniform algebras, model spaces, and H-p spaces. We extend the notion of asymptotic interpolation to H-p spaces, for 1 <= p <= infinity, providing several new ways to think about these sequences.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemolytiskt uremiskt syndrom (HUS) är den vanligaste orsaken till njursvikt bland barn i västvärlden. HUS kännetecknas av hemolytisk anemi (sönderfall av och brist på röda blodkroppar), trombocytopeni (brist på blodplättar) och akut njursvikt. Den vanligaste formen av sjukdomen, typisk HUS orsakas av Shigatoxinproducerande bakterier, främst olika stammar av EscherichiThis thesis addressed the diagnosis, pathogenesis and clinical course of specific renal diseases hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and dense deposit disease (DDD). HUS may be associated with infection caused by Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) or with complement dysfunction due to complement mutations or auto-antibodies (atypical HUS, aHUS). EHEC is a non-invasive highly virulent bacterium

P>Aims To determine health-related quality of life (HRQL) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) before and after surgical treatment. Methods In a prospective study, 35 consecutive diabetic patients with CTS were age and gender matched with 31 non-diabetic patients with idiopathic CTS. At baseline (preoperatively), 6, 12 and 52 weeks after surgical carpal tunnel re

In this work we report on the evolution of the structure of two model ionic liquid families, N-alkyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium (Pyr(1n)-TFSI) and 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium (C(n)MIm-TFSI) (n = 3, 4, 6 and 8) both containing the bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI) anion, upon the addition of LiTFSI using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The introduction of a lithium salt (Li-salt) tunes the

The objectives of this study were: (1) to assess nutrient flows and balances at land management systems and cropping seasons levels, and (2) to determine rate of nutrient depletion. The study was conducted in dry lands of Northern Kordofan, Sudan, at El Demokeya Forest Reserve (lat.13° 16′ ′′ ′N; long. 30° 29′ ′′ ′E, and alt. 560 m), over three cropping seasons (2002, 2003 and 2004). Flows and

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to examine whether Swedish employers implicitly/automatically hold negative attitudes toward Arab-Muslims, an ethnic minority group subjected to substantial labor market discrimination in Sweden and, more specifically, associate members of this minority group with lower work productivity, as compared with native Swedes. Design/methodology/approach – Adapted vers

Stratagems adopted by democratic leaders to try to insinuate, or anchor, a preferred course of action into the larger collective will have a variety of repercussions. Beyond the apparent success of the venture itself, the long-term integrity of the democratic fabric may be at stake if simmering rancour and discontent is left unheeded. These questions would seem particularly pertinent when studyi

Jordan is considered one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, with less than 150 cubic meters freshwater available per capita annually. Groundwater resources are clearly vital for Jordan´s population and economic wellbeing. It´s quality and amount has therefore to be managed in a sustainable way avoiding possible contaminations. Unfortunately the groundwater quality is threatened by

Grynig påskrislav Stereocaulon incrustatum är i Sverige rödlistad som Akut hotad och arten var inför denna inventering känd bara från en aktuell lokal i landet, i Blekinge. Där hittades arten första gången 1938 och växer numera i ett naturreservat med speciellt utformade skötselföreskrifter. Ytterligare åtta lokaler är kända från spridda landskap; Västergötland, Bohuslän, Öland, Dalarna och Jämtla
