The N-terminal RNA binding domain of U1A has been shown to fold in a two-state process without accumulating any intermediates. U1A has a symmetrically curved chevron plot which seems to result mainly from changes of the transition state. At low concentrations of denaturant the transition state occurs early in the folding reaction, whereas at high denaturant concentration it moves close to the nati
1. Background The workgroup of Traffic Psychology is concerned with the social, behavioral, and perceptual aspects that are associated with use and non-use of bicycle helmets, in their various forms and under various cycling conditions. 2. Objectives The objectives of WG2 are to (1) share current knowledge among the people already working in the field, (2) suggest new ideas for research on and eva
What are the social positions of adults who were in long-term foster care as children, compared with the general population and with adults who grew up at home in families similar to foster children's birth families? How common is it to have been in foster care? Four approaches are used in this study: - A systematic review of around 50 studies on adult foster children. Conclusions are more pessim
Interactions between patients and physiotherapists have been studied by various researchers. Some results indicate that physiotherapists have an awareness of underlying emotions, but often respond only on an intellectual level. It seems that verbally expressed emotions may be important for interaction between physiotherapists and patients during treatment. Aim The aim of this study was to investi
Obesity is associated with increased triacylglycerol (TAG) storage in adipose tissue and insulin resistance. The mobilization of stored TAG is mediated by hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and the recently discovered adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). The aim of the present study was to examine whether ATGL and HSL mRNA and protein expression are altered in insulin-resistant conditions. In addition,
In a group of 36 patients, 18 women and 18 men, results for the Spiral Aftereffect Technique (SAT) and the Defense Mechanism Technique modified (DMTm) after recovery from depression (at follow-up) were related to results for both techniques during the acute phase of depression, and to seven symptom dimensions (tension, inertia, dissociation, hypochondria, nondivertability, heredity and suicidal th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den globala landbaserade kolcykeln reglerar mängden växthusgaser i atmosfären. För närvarande tas varje år 25-30% av våra utsläpp upp av de landbaserade ekosystemen vilket är en viktig ekosystemtjänst som kanske inte kommer att bestå i längden. Upptagskapaciteten av både hav och landbaserade ekosystem tenderar att försvagas av global uppvärmning. Detta leder till att en
Energy efficiency regulations are one of the important policy packages employed for climate mitigation. Recent evaluations from the USA and the European Union (EU) indicate that the setting of minimum mandatory energy performance standards (MEPS) for different products-such as electric motors, TVs, and dishwashers-are among the best-performing climate policies and that these regulations are also c
BACKGROUND: A workplace's design can have various positive or negative effects on the employees and since the 1970s the advantages and disadvantages of open-plan offices have been discussed. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate perceived health, work environment and self-estimated productivity one month before and at three, six and twelve months after relocation from individual offi
In this paper railway accident investigation reports issued by the national accident investigation boards in three Scandinavian countries during a 2-year period have been systematically studied. Content analysis of attributed causes in these reports reveals a considerable emphasis on physical processes, actor activities and equipment (the microlevel). Much less attention is paid to organisational
Purpose: To determine if mergers and acquisitions are value creating or destroying in the Australian market, identifying the individual sources of this value creation or destruction, and attempt to relate the post-merger performance to changes in equity prices around the announcement date of the bid. Methodology: A quantitative approach comparing pre and post merger firm performance with a median

Background There is debate about the value of assessing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and other biomarkers of inflammation for the prediction of first cardiovascular events. Methods We analyzed data from 52 prospective studies that included 246,669 participants without a history of cardiovascular disease to investigate the value of adding CRP or fibrinogen levels to conventional risk factors
BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may, and often does, profoundly reshape daily life, altering physical abilities, social roles, and personal identities. While assistive technologies, including assistive robotics, are often framed as solutions to re-establish independence, their adoption is shaped by practical, emotional, and social considerations as well as functional qualities. Individuals wi
Within the Swedish school and the public library communities it is generally held as a truth that reading of fiction develops the empathic ability of the reader. This opinion is also expressed in political guiding documents for the school system and cultural sector. This paper's main hypothesis is that there is no assembled theoretic ground for the statement that reading of fiction develops th
Background: Mental health problems are an increasing challenge for primary healthcare. It puts strain on the healthcare professionals with limited time and resources. In several countries, healthcare professionals can refer patients with mental health issues to structured arts programmes, namely Arts on Prescription (AoP). This study explores the qualitative findings from a 3-year study on Arts on
The revitalization of existing neighborhoods has been a frequent topic of public and academic debate in post–industrial times. Yet, little is known about the potential of individual, commercial real estate development projects to revitalize neighborhoods. Adaptive reuse of existing buildings, especially when combined with collaborative spaces, have been linked to positive social impacts beyond cul
Introduction: Excessive worry is common during adolescence and across a range of psychiatric conditions. There is a growing evidence base for the efficacy of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) in reducing the frequency of excessive worrying as a primary outcome in the context of clinical trials of youth with generalized anxiety disorder, and as a secondary outcome in trials of CBT for youth with ob
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the value chain processes that represent the “black box” between supply logistics integration and competitive operational performance in firms. To realize this objective, the authors develop a research model which comprises a series of linkages from supply logistics integration to operational outcomes using Porter’s concept of value chain and the r
The purpose of this study was to explore the social concept of Safe Spaces from the point of view of LGBTQ+ peoples’ own opinions, critique and experiences. The method used was qualitative text analysis on 23 debate articles selected from Swedish media. These were analysed by way of applying Queer Theory, drawing mainly on Judith Butler, and the Theory of Freedom of Speech, drawing mainly on John
