1 Notes to Presentation Out of Tune? Open Access and the Humanities Jasmin Lange Lund Online, 30 October 2019 Being the last presenter of the day is not an easy task. But I am not unhappy about it as it is symbolic for the situation of the humanities when it comes to policy making. The humanities are often an afterthought, an afterthought when we discuss open “science”, open data plans or new form

Background: P-selectin is activated early after stroke, followed by a rapid decline. This time course can be used to generate important information on stroke onset. The latter is crucial for therapeutic decision-making of wake-up strokes (i.e. thrombolysis or not). Here, we evaluated the specific p-selectin inhibitor fucoidan labeled with gallium-68 (68Ga-Fucoidan) as an imaging biomarker for asse

PURPOSE: To verify MR measurements of myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) based on clinically applicable T1-mapping sequences against ECV measurements by radioisotope tracer in pigs and to relate the results to those obtained in volunteers.METHODS: Between May 2016 and March 2017, 8 volunteers (25 ± 4 years, 3 female) and 8 pigs (4 female) underwent ECV assessment with SASHA, MOLLI5(3b)

BACKGROUND: The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) has been shown to be associated with obesity and to influence appetite regulation. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to examine whether dietary factors (macronutrient and fiber intakes) and leisure-time physical activity modify the association between genetic variation in FTO and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)). DESIGN: A cross-sectional study exam

Purpose Complex organizations increasingly rely on middle managers as strategic linking-pins between the top and bottom levels of the organization. Using social identity theory and commitment theory as the foundation, this study evaluates a management and leadership development program (MLDP) intended to engage middle managers as strategy creators and implementers. We also evaluate the cascading ePurpose Complex organizations increasingly rely on middle managers as strategic linking-pins between the top and bottom levels of the organization.

We investigate how the stereotype of the poor (vs. middle class) influences behavioral predictions. In Study 1, participants made predictions regarding another person’s economic behavior in scenarios pertaining to rate of time preferences (loss, gain of smaller and larger amount). We find that participants, across scenarios, expect individuals with low SES to show more short-sightedness—i.e., stee

Background: Both insulin and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are effective in the treatment of hyperglycaemia and amelioration of insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes but have side effects including weight gain and fluid retention. The use of TZDs has been further hampered by the risk of adverse cardiovascular events including heart failure. The present study evaluated the effect of pioglitazone or ins

Since the discovery of a formal quintuple bond in Ar'CrCrAr' (CrCr = 1.835 angstrom) by Power and co-workers in 2005, many efforts have been dedicated to isolating dichromium species featuring quintuple-bond character. In the present study we investigate the electronic configuration of several, recently synthesized dichromium species with ligands using nitrogen to coordinate the metal centers. The

We present soil organic carbon (SOC) inventories and carbon isotope compositions from over 900 samples collected in areas of minimally disturbed mature vegetation on freely drained soils (excluding peatlands) on a 1000 km transect along the Yennisey River, central Siberia. Carbon inventories over 0–30 cm depth range widely from 1.71 to 7.05 kg m-2 . While an effect of changing climate or vegetatio

Beyond the esoteric deliberations of Islamic jurists and their exegesis of criminal and private law doctrines, Iranian law lives a life of its own. It is a life of routine practices of judges, court clerks, lawyers and clients, each of whom is striving to turn the law to their own advantage. It is also a life of contested legality, a relentless struggle over the right to determine the law in a jurBeyond the esoteric deliberations of Islamic jurists and their exegesis of criminal and private law doctrines, Iranian law lives a life of its own.

Swedish law regulates employee protection on business transfers in the Employment Protection Act (1982: 80) or (LAS) and also the Act (1976: 589) on co-determination in working life (MBL). The Swedish rules have not always looked as they do now and have emerged in the light of the European Union (EU) and of Council Directive 2001/23 / EC of 12 March 2001 on the approximation of the laws of the Mem

Military vehicles typically send out radar signals in order to detect their surroundings. Using an Electromagnetic Support Measures receiver, these can be detected and it is of interest to be able to classify them in order to identify the vehicle and type of radar. Although there already exists multiple methods to do this, it is of interest to automatize and speed up the process of classification

Gut microbiota play a central role in metabolism for example in blood glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation. This thesis provides a prospect of using the bacterium Prevotella copri as a probiotic to help maintain a healthy gut microbiota as many evidences points towards probiotics to have a great potential as preventative agents or therapeutics for type 2 diabetes. In the first part of the tAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) nearly 8.5% of the global population is affected by metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity which are one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. This causes a huge financial burden on the healthcare system globally. Therefore, there is an urgent need to prevent, delay and treat these diseases and their debilitating com

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sen den industriella revolutionen har koldioxidhalten i atmosfären nästan fördubblats, från 280 ppm till 360 ppm. Detta har skapat stora diskussioner om hur vårt klimat kommer att påverkas. Koldioxid (CO2) är en växthusgas och med detta menas att den absorberar inkommande energi och på så sätt värmer upp vår jord. I denna studie har fokusen lagts på hur vegetatiIncreasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere may substantially increase net primary productivity (NPP) and thereby increase carbon sequestration by terrestrial ecosystems. Realistic Free Air Carbon Enrichment (FACE) experiments tend to show a NPP enhancement of about 25% if CO2 is elevated by 200 ppm. In this study two generalized vegetation models, the Lund-Postsdam-Jena dynamic generalized vegetat
