Objective. Intrauterine growth restriction ( IUGR) resulting in low birth weight for gestational age may predispose one to development of cardiovascular disease later in life. Abnormal fetal blood flow in the presence of fetal growth restriction helps to distinguish infants with true fetal growth impairment from small but normal infants. Our goal was to investigate associations between IUGR with a
I den här studien används extremvärdesanalys för att beräkna våguppspolning och årlig dynerosion med 10, 50, och 100 års återkomsttid. Frekvensanalysen baseras på en 40 år lång tidsserie med simulerad dynerosion och våguppspolning från Ängelholms strand i Skälderviken. Med SMB-metoden beräknas vågor ute till havs som sedan transformeras till kustnära vågor i vågmodellen SWAN. Våguppspolningen berä
Ethics is the study of the normative dimensions of human relations and experiences. This chapter discusses such questions in relation to basic values in modern society. The normative foundations for the analysis are the values of human dignity, autonomy, freedom, equality, and solidarity, as well as the responsibilities of society toward its citizens, including freedom, security, and justice. The
Infection patterns of avian haemosporidians result from the evolution of their associations with hosts, and can be shaped by multiple biotic factors. However, at the level of parasite species, few studies have investigated the details of the temporal dynamics of infection patterns in wild bird communities. We hereby studied a wild bird community in southern Sweden to investigate two generalist par
Det här kapitlet fokuserar på relationen mellan arbetsliv och övrigt liv och ett antal digitala strategier som används för att hantera denna. Tidigare forskning har visat att kvinnor i jämförelse med män möter en större utmaning i hanterandet av denna gränsdragning, givet att kvinnor, traditionellt sett, har haft ansvaret för barn samt utfört mer av det obetalda arbetet i hemmet (Hochschild &
Inflammation has been proposed to play a role in the generation of depressive symptoms. Previously, we demonstrated that patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) have increased plasma levels of the soluble form of the urokinase receptor (suPAR), a marker for low-grade inflammation. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that acute exercise would induce inflammatory response characte
During the last two decades, survival rates after cardiac arrest have increased while the fraction of patients surviving with a severe neurological disability or vegetative state has decreased in many countries. While improved survival is due to improvements in the whole chain of survival, improved methods for prognostication of neurological outcome may be of major importance for the lower disabil
Pollutant transport in the unsaturated soil zone is a potential threat to surface and ground water resources. The intensity and volume of rainfall are the parameters that decide how fast and deep the pollutants will be transported. Climate models predict a future rainfall climate with higher total volume and higher intensities. In the present study we try to assess effects on unsaturated solute tr
Parasites can vary in the number of host species they infect, a trait known as “host specificity”. Here we quantify phylogenetic signal—the tendency for closely related species to resemble each other more than distantly related species—in host specificity of avian haemosporidian parasites (genera Plasmodium, Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon) using data from MalAvi, the global avian haemosporidian da
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the thermal performance of the cooling plates with conventional straight channel and wavy channel designs. Design/methodology/approach: A three-dimensional model involving coupled fluid flow and heat transfer processes is developed to study the thermal performance of the cooling plates. The effects of wavelength and amplitude on the cooling perf
Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate
We report a novel size-insensitive method, iso-acoustic focusing (IAF), that can, for the first time, analyze and separate cells based on their intrinsic acoustic properties. We characterize the IAF system using two different cell lines and apply it to measuring the acoustic impedance of two subgroups of white blood cells (WBC): neutrophils and lymphocytes. We find cell type specific differences i
The third ‘Stem Cell Niche’ meeting, supported by The Novo Nordisk Foundation, was held this year on May 22-26 and brought together 185 selected participants from 24 different countries to Hillerød, Denmark. Diverse aspects of embryonic and adult stem cell biology were discussed, including their respective niches in ageing, disease and regeneration. Many presentations focused on emerging technolog
