Yogurt is an ancient food, used for a better preservation of milk. Milk gets fermented by Streptococcus thermophilicus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (lactic acid bacteria, LAB) which converts the lactose present in the milk to lactic acid. These probiotics support the microbial population balance of the gastrointestinal tract. Sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas, is an important security crop in developi

Back-arc volcanism in the western Argentinian provinces of Mendoza and Neuquen has been widespread from the Miocene to historic times. We present a detailed investigation of profiles through two of the major Miocene volcanic areas of the region, the neighboring Huantraico and La Matancilla plateaus, including new Ar-40/Ar-39 age results of major and trace elements as well as Nd, Sr and Pb isotopic
Male breast cancer is poorly understood with a large proportion arising in the familial context particularly with the BRCA2 germline mutation. As phenotypic and genotypic differences between sporadic and familial male breast cancers have been noted, we investigated the importance of a hypoxic drive in these cancers as this pathway has been shown to be of importance in familial female breast cancer
Laser diagnostic techniques have for more than 30 years added very valuable input for a deepened understanding of combustion processes. The present paper will focus on techniques developed for visualization of important parameters with the ability to get detailed information in space and time. The paper is not meant to be a complete review of the entire research field but rather a survey with a ma
Background: Obesity has been proposed as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Methods: Pooled data were analyzed from the National Cancer Institute Pancreatic Cancer Cohort Consortium (PanScan) to study the association, between prediagnostic anthropometric measures and risk of pancreatic cancer. PanScan applied a nested case-control study design and included 2170 cases and 2209 control subjects. O
Objective To determine the pharmacodynamic properties of a new oral lyophilisate formulation of desmopressin (in single doses of 30, 60, 120, 240, 360 or 480 mu g) in children with known primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) and thus identify those dosages that could provide a duration of action corresponding to a typical length of night-time sleep in children with PNE; additional objectives were to de
Background: Erectile dysfunction is associated with, and may be the first sign of coronary artery disease. We aimed to assess whether men with erectile dysfunction but without cardiovascular disease have reduced coronary flow reserve, as a sign of early coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: We investigated 12 men aged 68-73 years with erectile dysfunction, and 12 age-matched controls. Erectile functi
Detailed quantitative analysis of the vulnerability of different hippocampal and striatal neurons to global forebrain ischemia has not previously been performed. Here we have studied the survival of immunocytochemically identified neurons using an unbiased stereological method in rats subjected to global forebrain ischemia for 30 min and sacrificed 48 h, 1 week or 4 weeks thereafter. Within the hi
The calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate two-compound product Dovobet (R)/Daivobet (R)/Taclonex (R)(LEO Pharma A/S, Ballerup, Denmark) has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of psoriasis for up to 8 weeks. As psoriasis is a chronic disease, long-term treatment may be required, so there is a need to investigate the safety of its use over a longer period of time. To investigate
The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov

Konkurrensrätt och immaterialrätt har länge betraktats vara rättsområden som skyddar motstående intressen. En av de regleringar som finns för att underlätta förhållandet mellan de två rättsområdena är kommissionens förordning nr 772/2004 för grupper av avtal om tekniköverföring. Genom denna förordning önskar kommissionen garantera en effektiv konkurrens på marknaden samt erbjuda företag som ingår Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law are sometimes considered as areas of law which protect conflicting interests. One of the regulations striving to facilitate the relationship between these two areas is Regulation 772/2004, on the application of article 101.1 TFEU to categories of technology transfer agreements. The objectives of this Regulation are to ensure effective competition and t
Eftersom Storbritannien efter mer än 30 år sedan CISG:s ikraftträdande fortfarande inte har anslutit sig till konventionen, frågan uppstår om varför så är fallet. Kan det vara så att det till en viss del kan bero på skillnader angående hur den engelska tillämpliga lagen ifråga och CISG ställer sig till skyldigheten att betala skadestånd? Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra de likheter och skillnaSince the U.K. after more than 30 years from the CISG’s enforcement still has not adopted the Convention, the question arises; how come? Could it be that this partially is due to differences in how the English applicable law and the CISG addresses liability for damages? The objective of this paper is to elucidate the similarities and differences in the two laws, regarding the seller’s obligation t
This report presents the work developing a modular sailboat interior system that offers an easy and affordable way for recreational sailors to customize the interiors of their sailboats according to their different and changing needs. Cruising sailboats are like floating houses or cottages, with the difference that the interior is permanent. They have a long product life and often last for decade
Respiratory tract deposition data of ultrafine aerosol particles, hygroscopic particles and ambient particles in general are scarce. Measurements are associated with several difficulties. The objective of this work was to design a method for fast determination of highly size-resolved fine and ultrafine particle deposition, to be used on larger groups of human subjects in exposure studies and in ty
Goodpasture disease (GP) is defined by the presence of anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibodies and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Besides anti-GBM, many patients with GP produce anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). For elucidation of the pathophysiologic significance of ANCA in this setting, epitope and antigen specificity of the anti-GBM antibodies and antigen s
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien har som syfte att beskriva lärares raster och att utifrån fältets problem generera en konkret teori om rasternas innehåll och betydelse för lärares arbete. I de inledande observationerna av lärares raster, som görs av 144 lärarstudenter på sin första praktik, beskrivs att lärare ägnar stor del av rasterna åt att fortsätta undervisa. De fortsätter att förklara ocThis study, in which a Grounded Theory approach is used, attempts to determine what happens during teachers’ recess periods and the effect these interspaces might have on the everyday work of teachers. The aim is to generate a concrete theory out of observations and interviews, simultaneously showing what’s going on in the field and taking into account the main concerns of those acting there.The f
Previous family and twin studies have indicated that Graves' disease has a heritable component. Family studies have also shown that some autoimmune disease cluster in families and genetic studies have been able to show shared susceptibility genes. In the present nation-wide study we describe familial risk for Graves' disease among parents and offspring, singleton siblings, twins and spouses with r
