Background: Diet is a determinant of gut microbiota. Both diet and gut microbiota have been linked to metabolic diseases. Objective: We aimed to examine data-driven food patterns in relation to the prevalence of prediabetes and gut microbiota composition and food pattern-associated bacteria in relation to prediabetes. Methods: Food patterns were extracted using principal component analysis in 1726

ObjectiveThe quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) affects outcomes from cardiac arrest, yet manual CPR is difficult to administer. Although mechanical CPR (mCPR) devices offer high quality CPR, only limited data describe their deployment, their interaction with standard manual CPR (sCPR), and the consequent effects on chest compression continuity and patient outcomes. We sought to descri

OBJECTIVES: Low or high sympatho-adrenal-medullary axis (SAM) and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) dysregulation reflect chronic stress. Retinal vessel dynamics may relate to SAM, HPA activity and stroke risk. Our objectives were therefore to assess the relationships between retinal vessel, SAM and HPA responses, and to determine stroke risk.METHODS: A prospective bi-ethnic gender cohort

A cDNA coding for plaice (Pleuronectes platessa) α1-microglobulin (Leaver et al., 1994, Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 108B, 275-281) was expressed and purified from baculovirus-infected insect cells. Specific monoclonal antibodies were then prepared and used to isolate the protein from plaice liver and serum. Mature 28.5 kDa α1-microglobulin was found in both liver and serum. The protein consisted of an

In the narrative parts of the Greek New Testament, we find instances of historical present. This article aims to show how this is reflected in the Nordic translation history. In Swedish translations of the New Testament, historical present is altogether absent, be it the early translations in the 16th century or the modern translations. The same holds true for some Danish and Faroese translations.

Cultural and creative activities are today described as central to regional and urban development by politicians and governments. Creative city policies are often aiming at economic benefits for the city itself, and there are normative purposes with many research studies as well as projects undertaken (Eckardt 2005; Markusen and Gadwa 2010; Kovacs 2011). Creative city policy is often oriented towa

Multilevel data occurs frequently in many research areas like health services research and epidemiology. A suitable way to analyze such data is through the use of multilevel regression models (MLRM). MLRM incorporate cluster-specific random effects which allow one to partition the total individual variance into between-cluster variation and between-individual variation. Statistically, MLRM account

Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta arbete handlar om utvecklingsneurobiologi. Ett långt ord men så beskriver det också precis vad det rör sig om: biologiska studier rörande nervsystemets utveckling. Generellt sett kan man säga att utvecklings-neurobiologisk forskning på lång sikt syftar till att förstå nervsystemets utveckling såpass väl att man skall kunna använda denna kunskap för att reparera etThe striatum is part of the telencephalon, the most anterior part of the vertebrate brain. From when it first can be identified, telencephalic morphology is highly complex and a wide range of mechanisms has been suggested to participate in its induction, patterning and neurogenesis. Sonic hedgehog (shh), a gene coding for a secreted protein has been suggested to be required for ventral telencephal

A general mass calibration procedure of a PIXE set-up is described. As an example, the results of the calibration of the PIXE set-up in Lund are given. For the calibration commercially available standards were used. The parameters of a physical model were adjusted to fit a calibration curve. To decrease errors due to inhomogeneities of the standard foils, the average from four different pieces of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ehrlichia hos människor och djur Fästingburna infektioner uppmärksammas alltmer både hos människor och djur. Fästingar har visat sig kunna överföra flera olika infektiösa agens som till exempel borrelia- och ehrlichiabakterier, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE)-virus och babesia-parasiter. De i Skandinavien förekommande ehrlichia-bakterierna Ehrlichia phagocytophila, orsakEhrlichia phagocytophila is a tick-borne pathogen of domestic animals, which has recently been acknowledged also as a human pathogen. It is a strictly intracellular bacterium, infecting granulocytes of the host, sometimes resulting in clinical disease - granulocytic ehrlichiosis - with manifestations ranging from mild flu-like conditions to severe infections with multi-organ failure and death. Thi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid internationell handel med varor utgår olika skatter och avgifter; dessutom kan varorna vara föremål för import- och exportbegränsningar. Genom frihandelsavtal kan dock bestämmas att vissa varor får importeras och exporteras tullfritt. De bestämmelser som således gäller för olika varor sammanfattas för skilda varuslag i tulltaxan. Varuklassificeringen har därför storIn international commerce, various taxes and charges are levied on commodities; besides, goods may be subject to import and export restrictions. However, free-trade agreements may stipulate that some goods can be imported and exported free of charge. The regulations pertaining to different types of merchandise are reflected in the customs tariff of a state or customs union. The application of many

The traditional orthosis are tight and allow minimal evaporation. A new prototype was designed. The thermal foot model tests were carried out at isothermal (Ts=Ta=34 °C) and non-isothermal (Ta=23 °C) conditions with relative humidity set to 17 and 41 %, respectively, and at air velocities of 0.25 (LVa) and 0.85 m/s (HVa). Evaporative resistance (Ret) was calculated based on foot model’s heat loss

BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the size and location of ischemic myocardium during acute coronary occlusion could provide decision support before reperfusion therapy. Electrocardiogram (ECG) scores based on the number of leads and the sum of ST-segment elevation have been unreliable in quantifying ischemia. We aimed to develop a new method to graphically display ischemic myocardium from simulated ECGs (

Embedded computer systems are subject to a multitude of requirements. These include real-time requirements, that is, such computers must respond to external events within limited time. Many systems, such as satellites and telephone switches, must also operate unattended for long periods of time. They must not fail due to defective software. Modern object-oriented programming languages, particular

Artikel 6 i den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR), rätten till en rättvis rättegång, är en av de viktigaste och mest centrala rättigheterna ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv, i synnerhet när det handlar om tillämpning av nationell straffrätt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för regleringen avseende anonyma vittnen i både E

Hedersrelaterade våldsbrott är något som förekommer även i Sverige. Vi har dock ingen lagstiftning i Sverige som reglerar dessa brott. Begås ett våldsbrott där motivet varit hedersrelaterat, döms gärningsmännen i enlighet med de övriga våldsbrotten som regleras i 3 och 4 kap brottsbalken. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad bristen på lagreglering avseende de hedersrelaterade våldsbrotteHonor-related violence is something that also occurs in Sweden. However we have no legislation in Sweden that regulate these offenses. Committing a violent crime where the subject was honor-related, convicted offenders in accordance with the other violent crimes governed by Chapters 3 and 4 Penal Code. The purpose of this work is to investigate the lack of statutory regulation concerning the honor

The eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel.
