The Varena Iron Ore deposit in the SW East European Craton is a significant ore body that occurs within metamorphosed and hydrothermally reworked Paleoproterozoic dolostones. We have performed microstructural investigations supplemented with mineral chemistry and geochronological investigations (LA-ICP-MS) to obtain age constraints on the ore-forming event(s) and improve the understanding of the c
This study regards a Child Play-and-Learn Area (CPLA) in a library as a third place and investigates its relationships with visitors through the concept of place attachment. To understand the influence of the CPLA, the study examined the relationships among visitors' place attachment, servicescape and behavioural intentions involving place scales. A survey was conducted in a CPLA in Christchurch,
As we previously demonstrated, there is an adaptive increase in insulin secretion in insulin resistance in the model of high-fat fed female mice. Since it is assumed that islets also adapt to insulin resistance with β-cell expansion, we have now examined beta volume in this experimental model. Female C57BL/6JBomTac mice were therefore fed a high-fat diet (60% fat from lard) for three, six or twelv
Purpose: In the BRCAsearch study, unselected breast cancer patients were prospectively offered germline BRCA1/2 mutation testing through a simplified testing procedure. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate satisfaction with the BRCAsearch testing procedure and, furthermore, to report on uptake rates of prophylactic surgeries among mutation carriers. Methods: Pre-test information was pr
Wildfires are a climate change indicator whose increasing activity poses a threat to biodiversity and to ecosystem and human wellbeing. In the Mediterranean region, examination of the foundational drivers of intensifying wildfire regimes is necessary for the identification of sustainable wildfire mitigation measures. Literature review, semi-structured interviews, and focus group interviews with lo
Det är inte förrän på senare tid som brottsoffrets intressen och behov uppmärksammats i den samhälleliga, politiska och juridiska debatten. I samband med det viktimologiska perspektivets genomslag har medvetenheten ökat kring att våldsutsatta brottsoffer inte bara drabbas av direkta fysiska skador, utan också ingripande psykiska sådana. Detta har i sin tur bidragit till en skärpt syn på allvarligaInterests and needs of victims of crime have not until recently been a focus of societal, political or legal debate. As the victimological perspective gained impact, the awareness has likewise increased concerning violent crimes and their extensive psychological effects on victims. This, in turn, has contributed to an increased societal condemnation of serious violent crimes. The essay intend to
South Korea has gone from a military dictatorship to being the highest-ranking Asian country in terms of democracy over the last 35 years. In 2016, massive social movement protests broke out after media uncovered accounts of widespread corruption by then President Park Geun-Hye. These public demonstrations become known as the Candlelight movement of 2016-2017, lasting for six months to culminate i
Background: Sugarcane is an attractive feedstock for ethanol production, especially if the lignocellulosic fraction can also be treated in second generation (2G) ethanol plants. However, the profitability of 2G ethanol is affected by the processing conditions, operating costs and market prices. This study focuses on the minimum ethanol selling price (MESP) and maximum profitability of ethanol prod
This thesis advocates for the evaluation of current sociopolitical conflicts through the lens of social movement theory, as a decisive path to deconstruct the premises of the German right-wing party Alternative for Germany (Alternative für Deutschland, AfD). The party is conceptualized as an institutionalized social movement, which is insufficiently answering public material grievances caused by e
In this communication, we add another piece of evidence in favor of a parametric split to do with AGR (Holmberg 2010) between Insular (ISc) and Mainland Scandinavian (MSc); the extended possibility of non-subject fronting in embedded clauses, here referred to as Extended verb second (xV2), available in ISc, unavailable in MSc. By adding this phenomenon to the list of AGR-related differences betwee
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and hypertension in a Swedish population. Methods: The study is based on a random sample of a Swedish population of men and women aged 30-74 years (n=2,816). Total testosterone, oestradiol and SHBG were measured in 2,782 participants. Free androgen index was then calculated according to the
The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential dose reduction to the heart, left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and the ipsilateral lung for patients treated with tangential and locoregional radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer with enhanced inspiration gating (EIG) compared to free breathing (FB) using the AAA algorithm. The radiobiological implication of such dose spa
Yoga can reduce blood pressure and has also been suggested to reduce inflammatory biomarkers and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We aimed to assess the benefit of two yoga interventions on inflammatory biomarkers and metabolic risk factors in a high risk population in primary care.
This study examines work culture among the contemporary Swedish professional communication field. Key standards of the field and their origins are analysed through participant observation in branch seminars and interviews with practising professionals. The results indicate that status in the work culture is centred around innovative thinking, change and focus on the future – ideals related to Enli
