Background. In some situations, and particularly when intoxications are suspected, it would be advantageous if medicines and drugs of abuse could be swiftly detected in serum or urine. Material and methods. The Department of Clinical Pharmacology at St. Olav University Hospital has since 2004 been developing a comprehensive toxicology service (at all hours 7-days/week) for immediate quantitative a

The human genome encodes 13 aquaporin isoforms with characteristic substrate specificity that are expressed at specific locations throughout the body. Of these isoforms, AQPs 1-4 serve important functions in renal water reabsorption. Consequently, specific AQP inhibitors have been proposed as 'aquaretics', a new class of drugs suitable to induce diuresis without concomitant salt wasting. Furthermo

This article seeks to elucidate that influence by examining the Malazim [Lectures] of Hussein al-Houthi, the founder of the Houthi movement in Yemen, and comparing them to the ideas and visions of Hassan al-Banna, the founder and theoretician of the Muslim Brotherhood group, as was evident in the book called: Rasa'il Hassan al-Banna, [Messages of Hassan al-Banna] and it will work to clarify the es

We present a novel method for the determination of density and compressibility of individual particles and cells undergoing microchannel acoustophoresis in an arbitrary 2D acoustic field. Our method is a critical advancement within acoustophoretic separation of biological cells, as the ability to determine the density and compressibility of individual cells enables the prediction and alteration of

The attractiveness of cycling-and in particular of bike-sharing systems-as a sustainable alternative of transportation is constantly growing, given the undeniable benefits associated with it. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-objective model based on a Fuzzy Inference System to be embedded in a mobile application that could assist cyclists in the selection of the smartest route to follow

Coronapandemin har inneburit ett hårt slag för café- och restaurangbranschen då kunderna i stor utsträckning uteblir, dels på grund av rädsla för smitta, dels på grund av uppmaningar från myndigheterna om social distansering. I branschen ärmånga småföretagare utan större ekonomisk buffert. Innan krisen är över kommer sannolikt många företag att ha tvingats lägga ned verksamheter (DN, 2020). Vi för

In atherosclerotic vascular disease, endothelial dysfunction is induced by risk factors such as arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and tobacco use. In fl ammatory mechanisms and in fl ammatory cytokines play important roles in all of these mechanisms, and the different steps in atherogenesis involve cytokines as in fl ammatory promoters, stimulating the expression of proatherogenic genes

We report a new design of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. Acoustic trapping enables nanoparticle and exosome enrichment without the need for ultracentrifugation. The commercial acoustic trapping technology, AcouTrap (AcouSort AB), typically operates at flow rates < 50 μl/min which limits processing of larger

(E)valuative technologies such as standards and conventionalized (e)valuative practices, some including the use of technological devices, govern the production of food in the global north. Food supply chains consist of multiple interrelated markets, where goods are (e)valuated to distinguish their qualities and prices. Qualities and prices that are transformed as the raw materials move through the

We use Markov state models (MSMs) to analyze the dynamics of a β-hairpin-forming peptide in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations with interacting protein crowders, for two different types of crowder proteins [bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and GB1]. In these systems, at the temperature used, the peptide can be folded or unfolded and bound or unbound to crowder molecules. Four or five major fre

En beskrivning av folkmusikfestivalen i småländska Korrö, utifrån historiserande och kulturanalytiska perspektiv.

Disinformation re-emerged in the 21st century as a public concern and professional challenge for actors seeking to navigate the new political and information landscape. This has led to a growing discussion among researchers on how disinformation relates to PD theory and practice. This chapter argues that disinformation comes with a set of opportunities for PD that open new perspectives to unresolv
