Traditionally, food safety knowledge has been seen as a factor in improving food safety behaviour. However, the relationship between knowledge and behavior is complex. The aim of the present study was to investigate self-reported data from 408 university students regarding food safety background, knowledge, attitudes, and behaviour using Structural Equation Model (SEM) to examine the influence of
We report the discovery of a planetary system orbiting TOI-763(aka CD-39 7945), a V = 10.2, high proper motion G-type dwarf star that was photometrically monitored by the TESS space mission in Sector 10. We obtain and model the stellar spectrum and find an object slightly smaller than the Sun, and somewhat older, but with a similar metallicity. Two planet candidates were found in the light curve t
Some theories of planet formation and evolution predict that intermediate-mass stars hostmore hot Jupiters than Sun-like stars, others reach the conclusion that such objects are very rare. By determining the frequencies of those planets we can test those theories. Based on the analysis of Kepler light curves it has been suggested that about 8 per cent of the intermediate-mass stars could have a cl
An optimal soft multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detector is proposed with linear complexity for a general spatial multiplexing system with two transmitting symbols and NR ≥ 2 receiving antennas. The computational complexity of the proposed scheme is independent of the operating signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) and grows linearly with the constellation order. It provides the soft maximum-likelihood
Enligt en etablerad teori om utvecklingen av politiskt styre i Europas förflutna går beskattning hand i hand med folkrepresentation. Härskare i finansiella trångmål blev nämligen mer eller mindre tvungna att erbjuda politiska fri- och rättigheter i utbyte mot folkets bidrag till statskassan. I denna avhandling undersöker jag det rakt motsatta antagandet: är det även så att icke-skatter går hand i According to a venerable argument about the formation of political regimes in historical Europe, taxation goes hand in hand with representation, as financial needs forced rulers to trade rights for revenue. In this dissertation I explore the reverse assumption, asking whether it is the case that non-taxation went hand in hand with non-representation? I argue that early modern rulers who had access
We present mid-infrared laser-induced thermal grating spectroscopy (IR-LITGS) using excitation radiation around 3 μm generated by a simple broadband optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Acetylene as a typical small hydrocarbon molecule is used as an example target species. A mid-infrared broadband OPO pumped by the fundamental output of a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser was
The aim of this work was to study the effect of time between adrenaline injection and slaughter on the rate and extent of post-mortem metabolism in pig muscle. Five pigs were subcutaneously injected with adrenaline (0·3 mg/kg) or with a saline solution 4 h, 1 h or 15 min prior to slaughter. pH1, pHu and FOPu were measured in Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Biceps femoris (BF) muscles. m.LD samples were
Aim: Screening children with type 1 diabetes for coeliac disease is controversial, because they often appear asymptomatic. Our aim was to establish whether active screening should be recommended. Methods: This study focused on 22 children whose coeliac disease was detected by serological screening during diabetes surveillance and 498 children diagnosed because of a clinical suspicion. We compared
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate how the use of dual-mobility cups (DMCs) affected the risk of revision due to dislocation as well as overall risk of revision compared with a conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) system in the short term. Methods: A total of 12,657 primary THAs were registered from the start of 2011 to the end of 2014. 620 THAs were with DMCs. For compariso
The hitherto unexplored two-photon doubly excited states [Ne∗(2p-13s)]2 were experimentally identified using the seeded, fully coherent, intense extreme ultraviolet free-electron laser FERMI. These states undergo ultrafast interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD), which predominantly produces singly ionized dimers. In order to obtain the rate of ICD, the resulting yield of Ne2+ ions was recorded as a fun
Objective: To study if a modified triage system at an Emergency Department (ED) combined with educational efforts resulted in reduced time to antibiotics and decreased length of hospital stay (LOS) for patients with severe infection. Methods: A retrospective, observational study comparing patients before and after the start of a new triage model at the ED of a University Hospital. After the implem
In this comment, we respond to the claim of (Bodin, Sustain Sci 16: 2151–2155, 2021) that sustainability science, as a research community, has begun to “lean to the left” in a problematic manner. On one hand, we remain unconvinced by the examples cited as indications for this tendency, and argue for caution in making such judgements. On the other hand, we hold that that there may be reasons for se
Breath-hold divers (BHD) enduring apnea for more than 4 min are characterized by resistance to release of reactive oxygen species, reduced sensitivity to hypoxia, and low mitochondrial oxygen consumption in their skeletal muscles similar to northern elephant seals. The muscles and myocardium of harbor seals also exhibit metabolic adaptations including increased cardiac lactate-dehydrogenase-activi
The most common indications for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brachial plexus (BP) are traumatic injuries. The role of MRI of the BP has increased because of recent trends favoring earlier surgery. Determining preganglionic vs. postganglionic injury is essential, as different treatment strategies are required. Thus, MRI of the BP should be supplemented with cervical spine MRI to assess t
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) give rise to all types of blood lineages, including red blood cells (RBC). Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) are known to be functionally diverse in terms of their self-renewal potential and lineage output. Consequently, investigation of molecular heterogeneity in the differentiation potential of HSPC is vital to identify novel regulators that affect generat
PurposeTo elucidate the temporal relationship between detection of glaucomatous optic disc progression, as assessed by fundus photography, and visual field progression.DesignProspective, randomized, longitudinal trial.ParticipantsThree hundred six study eyes with manifest glaucoma with field loss and 192 fellow eyes without any field defect at the start of the trial, from a total of 249 subjects i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Svenska räkneord behandlas här ur olika synvinklar. Boken är inte tänkt som en lärobok om svenska räkneord, även om man kan lära sig en hel del om systemet här - mer än språkanvändaren i allmänhet känner till. Fonologi, morfologi, syntax och semantik får alla sin del av uppmärksamheten. Jag undersöker räkneordssystemet som en synkron helhet, men de historiska förhålland
Background - Patient-reported assessments of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson's disease (PD), such as the FOG questionnaire (FOGQ), are needed because FOG is difficult to assess objectively. However, the measurement properties of the FOGQ have been sparsely assessed. Aim - To assess the measurement properties of the Swedish FOGQ, and to explore relationships between FOGQ scores and other aspect
The multivariate normal probability integral with a product correlation structure can be transformed to a one dimensional integral and easily evaluated when the correlation matrix is non-singular and well conditioned. However, the nearly singular case is much more difficult and previous methods fail to compute it with high numerical precision. This paper demonstrates that the (nearly) singular cas
pH is an important factor determining bacterial community composition in soil and water. We have directly determined the community tolerance (trait variation) to pH in communities from 22 lakes and streams ranging in pH from 4 to 9 using a growth based method not relying on distinguishing between individual populations. pH in the water samples was altered to up to 16 pH values, covering in situ pH
