Atomic diusion and mixing processes in stellar interiors influence the structure and the surface composition of stars. Some of these processes cannot yet be modelled from the first principles, and they require calibrations. This limits their applicability in stellar models used for studies of stellar populations and Galactic evolution. Aims. Our main goal is to put constraints on the stellar struc

The aim of the current study was to examine the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health (iCVH) in the general Swedish middle-aged population. To address this aim, we utilised data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) which is a large Swedish population-based study (N=30,154) that combined comprehensive state-of-the-art imaging technology with clinical examinations and include

Comparative analyses of gene birth–death dynamics have the potential to reveal gene families that played an important role in the evolution of morphological, behavioral, or physiological variation. Here, we used whole genomes of 30 species of butterflies and moths to identify gene birth–death dynamics among the Lepidoptera that are associated with specialist or generalist feeding strategies. Our w

OBJECTIVE: Systemic inflammatory autoimmune diseases (SIADs) such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), primary Sjögren disease (pSS), and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (myositis) are complex conditions characterized by shared circulating autoantibodies and clinical manifestations, including skin rashes, among others. This study was aimed at elucidating the genetics underlying these common f

Past results suggest that fear extinction and the return of extinguished fear are compromised in adolescents. However, findings have been inconclusive as there is a lack of fear extinction and extinction retention studies including children, adolescents and adults. In the present study, 36 children (6–9 years), 40 adolescents (13–17 years) and 44 adults (30–40 years), underwent a two-day fear cond

Tredjepartsbesiktning innebär att blivande eller befintliga affärspartners undersöks i syfte att säkerställa att verksamhetsutövarens verksamhetsled utgör en låg risk för korruption, vilket i vissa länder krävs genom lag. Faktorer som i regel anses som varningsflaggor i riskbedömningen inför en affärstransaktion är till exempel om en affärspartner har dömts för något brott av korruptiv karaktär elThird party due diligence is an investigation of prospective or existing business partners in order to ensure a low risk of corruption. In certain countries such an investigation is required by law. Factors to consider in the risk assessment are for example whether a potential or existing business partner has been convicted of any corruption related crime or is associated with political circles. S

Kan cellers proteiner bota HPV- sjukdomar? Livmoderhalscancer är en av de vanligaste cancersjukdomarna som drabbar kvinnor världen över. Varje år, diagnostiseras ungefär 500 000 kvinnor och 270 000 dör i sjukdomen, varav de flesta dödsfallen sker i utvecklingsländer. Livmoderhalscancer orsakas av det vanligt förekommande viruset humant papillomvirus (HPV) och för att hitta bättre behandling mot sHuman papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA viruses that have evolved over millions of years and are well-adapted to humans. Persistent infections with HPVs, can result in cancer development. There are over 200 different HPV types that can be divided into high- and low risk types based on their ability to cause cancer. HPV16 is the most common high- risk type that accounts for more than 50 % of al

In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu

Calvin, an Ericsson application framework for Internet of Things (IoT), simplifies the development and deployment of applications for IoT systems where many heterogeneous devices are deployed and connected through the Internet. The application engineer just needs to design and codify the application applying Calvin syntax. The Calvin environment is formed by runtimes and applications. The runtime

BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, but the degree of impairment has been difficult to determine. Most studies have been performed on plasma instead of whole blood. We therefore evaluated wh

Background: Risk gene variants for celiac disease, identified in genome-wide linkage and association studies, might influence molecular pathways important for disease development. The aim was to examine expression levels of potential risk genes close to these variants in the small intestine and peripheral blood and also to test if the non-coding variants affect nearby gene expression levels in chi

To enhance the performance of gas turbine engines, high top-cycle temperatures are desired. However, the temperature is limited by current materials. To achieve the higher performance, and meanwhile maintain the metal temperatures of the combustors, vanes and blades below the allowable limits, sophisticated cooling techniques, such as impingement cooling, film cooling and convective internal cooli

The kallikrein gene family (KLK1-KLK15) is the largest contiguous group of protease genes within the human genome and is associated with both risk and outcome of cancer and other diseases. We searched for copy number variants in all KLK genes using quantitative PCR analysis and analysis of inheritance patterns of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Two deletions were identified: one 2235-bp deletion

Towards a New Eldercare? Middle managers reflections on how to create good service within homes for the elderly. [translated title] For the past twenty years there has been a governing trend of efficiency and privatization of the swedish elder care. These trends have put the elder cares very foundation, it’s purpose, in a tremble. Middle managers within the swedish elder care are struggling to

Background: The feedback of the surveillance results to the employee and the employer largely determines the impact of workers’ health surveillance on workers’ health and exposure. We are unaware of any guidebooks or articles on performing feedback on regulated workers’ health surveillance, e.g., for vibration-exposed workers. Objectives: To identify existing knowledge of the communication aspects

The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear

Aims and objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's
