I en studie av neutralisationskapaciteten och kalkstenshalten i Sydvattens infiltrationsområde vid Vomb har fem prover från olika platser i fältet samlats in, siktats och surgjorts med saltsyra. Neutralisationskapaciteten mätt som kalciumkarbonathalt befanns variera i de olika sandproverna men var generellt hög (ca 2–14 % som vikt). Den totala massan av kalciumkarbonat i infiltrationsområdet bestäIn a study of the neutralization capacity and limestone content the artificial recharge area of the Sydvatten waterworks Vombverket in Vomb, Skåne, five samples from different locations in the area was collected, sieved and acidified with hydrochloric acid. The neutralization capacity measured as calcium carbonate content was found to vary in the different sandy soil samples but was generally high

Behandlar gipsavgjutningarnas ställning och roll i konstutbildningen och på konstmuseerna från 1700-talet till 1914.

Background: A pattern of major and minor congenital anomalies, facial dysmorphic features, and neurodevelopmental difficulties, including cognitive and social impairments has been reported in some children exposed to sodium valproate (VPA) during pregnancy. Recognition of the increased risks of in utero exposure to VPA for congenital malformations, and for the neurodevelopmental effects in particu

Background: The optimal criteria to diagnose gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) remain contested. The Swedish National Board of Health introduced the 2013 WHO criteria in 2015 as a recommendation for initiation of treatment for hyperglycaemia during pregnancy. With variation in GDM screening and diagnostic practice across the country, it was agreed that the shift to new guidelines should be in a

The paper intends to show, (1) that W.N. Hohfeld’s theory of fundamental jural relations is relevant to economic theory, and (2) that Hohfeld’s system can be reconstructed by the concepts of ‘liberty space’ and ‘ability space’, understood as an agent’s Spielraum for action. The first half of the paper is devoted to an exposition of Hohfeld’s system and to the question of its relation to the econom

This chapter illustrates how quantum chemical calculations can be used to elucidate structural and functional aspects of tetrapyrrole cofactors, focusing on porphyrins, cobalamins, coenzyme F430, and chlorophyll. A particular emphasis is put on the biochemical significance of axial ligands, which can tune the function of the tetrapyrroles. With the use of quantum chemical calculations, it is possi

Streptococcus pyogenes is an important human pathogen frequently colonizing the throat and skin of humans. To facilitate colonization and spread and to avoid the host immune defence, streptococci are endowed with a variety of virulence factors, two of which are investigated in this thesis namely streptolysin O (SLO) and M protein. SLO is a secreted cytolysin that forms pores in eukaryotic membran

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other neurotrophins are believed to play an important role in affective disorders. In this study we investigated plasma-BDNF response during an incremental exercise test in 18 patients suffering from moderate major depressive disorder (MDD) and 18 controls. The patients were not treated with antidepressants or neuroleptics. Possible associations between

This paper is a component of a three-year empirical study of gaming moms undertaken with the aim to modulate the conventional constructions of gamer identities and examine the contested status of gaming in everyday life. It presents samples of mothers in gaming discourse – from TV, Music-video, forums, and ads. Mothers have been largely invisible in popular gaming discourse or formulaically portra

It is now established that native language affects one's perception of the world. However, it is unknown whether this effect is merely driven by conscious, language-based evaluation of the environment or whether it reflects fundamental differences in perceptual processing between individuals speaking different languages. Using brain potentials, we demonstrate that the existence in Greek of 2 color

We analyze public-policy speeches in the Florentine Consulte e Pratiche, immediately prior to the Ciompi Revolt, for signs of elite factional conflict, in the context of self-proclaimed unity. We employ three statistical analyses of these speeches in Latin: namely, scatterplots of word frequencies, Wordfish scaling, and regressions on speech-similarities. Plus we employ two qualitative analyses: a

Limited research has assessed whether sports participation can be linked to decreasing risky sexual behavior among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The current study aimed to assess whether participation in a football league that provides sexual and reproductive health and rights lessons before each football match strengthened adolescent Zambian girls’ sexual health knowledge, attitudes, an
