Previous research suggests a pattern of gaze avoidance in East Asian compared with Western cultures. Yet, recent eye-tracking studies of face-to-face conversation do not corroborate this. More generally, differences in nonverbal communication and analytic versus holistic strategies have been described between East Asian and Western cultures. Using wearable eye-tracking technology and an automated

After the latest Permian mass extinction event, microbial mats filled the ecological niche previously occupied by metazoan reefs, resulting in widespread microbialites. This study focuses on the lipid biomarker (molecular fossil) and invertebrate fossil records from Neotethyan platform margin sections to understand microbial-metazoan bioherm formation. Here, we find that early Griesbachian thrombo

The land-atmosphere exchange of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in a high-Arctic wet tundra ecosystem (Rylek ae rene) in Zackenberg, north-eastern Greenland, was studied over the full growing season and until early winter in 2008 and from before snow melt until early winter in 2009. The eddy covariance technique was used to estimate CO2 fluxes and a combination of the gradient and eddy cova

The balance between self-renewal and differentiation is crucial for the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Whereas numerous gene regulatory factors have been shown to control HSC self-renewal or drive their differentiation, we have relatively few insights into transcription factors that serve to restrict HSC differentiation. In the present work, we identify ETS (E-twenty-six)-related

Mucosal surfaces of the reproductive tract as well as their secretions have important roles in preventing sexual transmission of HIV-1. In the current study, the majority of the intrinsic anti-HIV-1 activity of human seminal plasma (SP) was determined to reside in the cationic polypeptide fraction. Antiviral assays utilizing luciferase reporter cells and lymphocytic cells revealed the ability of w

One of the major roles of seminal plasma is to provide antimicrobial protection for the spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract. We found that the bactericidal activity of seminal plasma was highest after resolution of the seminal clot and that this antibacterial activity subsequently became greatly diminished. The antibacterial activity was derived from peptides generated by fragmentation of

Importance: Novel plasma biomarkers, especially phosphorylated tau (p-tau), can detect brain tau aggregates in Alzheimer disease. Objective: To determine which plasma biomarker combinations can accurately detect tau pathological brain changes in Down syndrome (DS). Design, Setting, and Participants: The cross-sectional, multicenter Alzheimer's Biomarker Consortium-Down Syndrome study included adul

The transcription factor Sox4 has been proposed to underlie the increased type 2 diabetes risk linked to an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism in CDKAL1. In a mouse model expressing a mutant form of Sox4, glucose-induced insulin secretion is reduced by 40% despite normal intracellular Ca2+ signaling and depolarization-evoked exocytosis. This paradox is explained by a fourfold increase in kiss

In the course of 2000s, the region of Campania in southern Italy and its capital city Naples became global icons of waste mismanagement after the images of piles of rubbish occluding their urban areas hit the headlines. Conventional explanations, in Italy and elsewhere, pointed to administrative failure, cultural backwardness and mafia infiltration as the main causes of waste mishandling. In the s

Does sertraline provide symptomatic relief for chronic breathlessness in people with advanced disease whose underlying cause(s) are optimally treated?223 participants with chronic breathlessness (modified Medical Research Council breathlessness scale ≥2) who had optimal treatment of underlying cause(s) were randomised 1:1 to sertraline 25-100 mg (titrated upwards over 9 days) or placebo for 4 week

Membrane proteins (MPs) constitute a large fraction of the proteome, but exhibit physicochemical characteristics that impose challenges for successful sample production crucial for subsequent biophysical studies. In particular, MPs have to be extracted from the membranes in a stable form. Reconstitution into detergent micelles represents the most common procedure in recovering MPs for subsequent a

Denna uppsats avhandlar IFO insats - öppenvård vuxna missbruk, som är en organisation tillhörande Arbetsmarknads- och socialförvaltningen Malmö stad. IFO står för Individ och Familjeomsorg, och är en insats klienter kan bli beviljade under missbruksproblematik. Vi kommer i denna uppsats beteckna denna organisation med “IFO insats”. Under 2019 påbörjades en diskussion kring öppenvården i Malmö. En

The criminalization of letting children witness domestic violence entered into force in Swedish law on 1 July 2021 and is thus a relatively new offence. It is found in Section 4. Chapter 3. in the Swedish Criminal Code and means that it is now a criminal offence to expose a child to witnessing domestic violence. The purpose of the penalty provision is to notice and give legislative protection to c

On July 1st., 2013 the Swedish rape legislation was changed with the introduction of the prerequisite particulary exposed situation that replaced the previous prerequisite helpless state. The motive for this change was, among other things, that the courts had been too restrictive in their adjudication of the prerequisite helpless state. Furthermore, it seemed impossible to investigate and prosecut

Åska hör till ett av de farligaste fenomenen som finns i vår atmosfär. Intresset av att observera åska har alltid funnits hos människan. Först på senare tid har man börjat förstå fysiken bakom fenomenet, även om det fortfarande finns många luckor i kunskapen. Sedan 2000 använder Danmarks Meteorologiska Institut blixtlokaliseringssystemet IMAPCT, som bland annat registrerar nedslagspunkt, strömstyrThunderstorms are one of the most dangerous phenomena in our atmosphere. Mankind has always been interested in observing thunderstorms. It is only recently that we have begun to understand the physics behind this phenomenon. However, there are still many gaps in the knowledge. Since 2000, Denmark has been using the lightning locating system IMPACT which registers strike point, average amperage and

Syftet med uppsatsen är att empiriskt undersöka ifall det är möjligt att göra en överavkastning, genom att konstruera tre olika utdelningsbaserade handels-strategier. Den första handelsstrategin innebär att de företagen med den högsta direktavkastningen köpes och de med den lägsta blankas. Den andra handelsstrategin innebär att de företag med den största positiva utdelningsförändringen köpes och d

Uppsatsen undersökte en alternativ metod att kreditbetygsätta företagsobligationer. Metoden är baserad på en modell ursprungligen skapad av Merton (1974) och har modifierats av Byström (2003). Undersökningen utformades som en jämförelsestudie mellan kreditbetyg från kreditvärderingsföretaget Moody’s och mått på konkursavstånd beräknade ur Byströms modell. Modellen gör antagandet om effektiva kapit
