Many animals downregulate body temperature to save energy when resting (rest-phase hypothermia). Small birds that winter at high latitudes have comparatively limited capacity for hypothermia and so pay large energy costs for thermoregulation during cold nights. Available evidence suggests this process is fueled by adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent mechanisms. Most ATP is produced by oxidative
Objective: To analyze the distribution of 3 collagen types in healthy tympanic membranes, during healing of a perforation, and during infection. Design: Immunohistochemical study of collagen types I, II, and III in the tympanic membranes of healthy rats as well as during healing of a perforation and in the presence of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae at various time points. Setting: Laborat
Summary Background: The aim was to assess sexual risk-taking behaviour in a sample of Swedish youth who were sexually active while travelling abroad and to examine possible associations with sexual risk-taking behaviour during such travel.Methods: From a population-based sample of 2189 Swedes 18e29 years 768 who were sexually active while abroad, were assessed by a questionnaire concerning socio-d
Latin America has constituted a recent example of inclusive growth by reducing poverty and income inequality simultaneously during the latest commodity boom. Against the backdrop of non-inclusive and non-transformative nature of commodity booms, we ask whether growth of agriculture was able to speed up structural transformation, and, relatedly, if agricultural growth was inclusive. We examine

Uppsatsen behandlar det engelska inflytandet på genomförandet av 1766 års tryckfrihetsförordning. Sverige var det första landet i världen att införa tryckfrihet som en grundlagsskyddad rättighet i och med TF 1766. En tidig from av tryckfrihet hade dock redan utvecklats i England under 1600-talet. Utöver tryckfriheten finns det även intressanta konstitutionella likheter länderna emellan som motiver

In this paper, I analyse developments in the relationship between popular musicians and their audiences that have intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21. The first, guilty geographies, concerns musicians and music venues becoming increasingly reliant on charitable audience support, appealing to fans’ ethical consciences through the crowdfunding (or fan-funding) model. The second, comp
Within society, sexual abuse is a subject of taboo and has a number of stigmas attached to it which can make it difficult for children to talk about it let alone make a disclosure as typically can be a relative or someone that the child trusts. The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of how sexual abuse against children is depicted in children’s literature. Within our study we hav
In Sweden, the pedagogical training of doctoral students varies significantly across universities. While most institutions include at least one mandatory course in higher education teaching and learning, some programs lack this requirement entirely. Whether doctoral students are encouraged or even allowed to take multiple pedagogical courses also varies greatly.

Experience can affect human gray matter volume. The behavioral correlates of individual differences in such brain changes are not well understood. In a group of Swedish individuals studying Italian as a foreign language, we investigated associations among time spent studying, acquired vocabulary, baseline performance on memory tasks, and gray matter changes. As a way of studying episodic memory tr
The current study aimed at investigating how restrictive and non-restrictive activities were related to adult creativity. Questionnaire assessments of self-reported creativity and level of engagement in 62 childhood activities were collected from 157 participants, mainly from South/East Asian and West European cultures. The findings indicate that there were positive correlations both between engag
Abstract Purpose: To monitor cell death in tumors during the rejection process after treatment with an antibody radiolabeled with a β-emitter. Methods: Tumors during rejection after treatment with (177)Lu-labeled antibody BR96 and after administration of unlabeled BR96 were compared with untreated tumors from the same immunocompetent syngeneic rat tumor model. Cell death was monitored with the ter
In this work we present the results of in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements of fatigue crack-tip strain fields following a 100% overload (OL) under plane strain conditions. The study is made on a bainitic steel with a high toughness and fine microstructure. This allowed a very high (60 mu m) spatial resolution to be achieved so that fine-scale changes occurring around the crack-tip w
