Hydrological control of organic carbon support for bacterial growth in boreal headwater streams

Terrestrial organic carbon is exported to freshwater systems where it serves as substrate for bacterial growth. Temporal variations in the terrigenous organic carbon support for aquatic bacteria are not well understood. In this paper, we demonstrate how the combined influence of landscape characteristics and hydrology can shape such variations. Using a 13-day bioassay approach, the production and

The intrinsic GTPase activity of the Gtr1 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Background: The Gtr1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a member of the RagA subfamily of the Ras-like small GTPase superfamily. Gtr1 has been implicated in various cellular processes. Particularly, the Switch regions in the GTPase domain of Gtr1 are essential for TORC1 activation and amino acid signaling [R. Gong, L. Li, Y. Liu, P. Wang, H. Yang, L. Wang, J. Cheng, K. L. Guan, Y. Xu, Genes De

Is there evidence for the use of art therapy in treatment of psychosomatic disorders, eating disorders and crisis? A comparative study of two different systems for evaluation

Holmqvist, G. & Lundqvist Persson, C. (2011). Is there evidence for the use of art therapy in treatment of psychosomatic disorders, eating disorders and crisis? A comparative study of two different systems for evaluation. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology.

Methodology - Action research in organizations is undertaken in interaction with the employees of the organization studied. The outcome is charact

Population-based reference values of handgrip strength and functional tests of muscle strength and balance in men aged 70-80 years

With aging, the incidence of falls and fractures increases. There has during the last decades been secular changes in demographics so that the proportion of elderly increases in society. Hence, there is an increasing need for clinicians to be able to make a solid appraisal of the elderly patient's functional capacity, as to identify individuals with an increased risk to fall. If high risk individu

Regulation of the pro-inflammatory cytokine osteopontin by GIP in adipocytes - A role for the transcription factor NFAT and phosphodiesterase 3B.

The incretin - glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) - and the pro-inflammatory cytokine osteopontin are known to have important roles in the regulation of adipose tissue functions. In this work we show that GIP stimulates lipogenesis and osteopontin expression in primary adipocytes. The GIP-induced increase in osteopontin expression was inhibited by the NFAT (the transcription factor

Effects of High Dose Fibrinogen on in vitro Haemodilution with Different Therapeutic Fluids

Background: Therapeutic fluids used in intensive care can have profound effects on coagulation, not only by dilution itself but also by other more complicated interactions. The aim of this in vitro study was to monitor the extent of dilutive coagulopathy induced by the most common therapeutic fluids and to attempt normalization of haemostasis by fibrinogen addition. Methods: 8 patients were re

A B-10-based neutron detector with stacked MultiWire Proportional Counters and macrostructured cathodes

We present the results of the measurements of the detection efficiency for a 4.7 angstrom neutron beam incident upon a detector incorporating a stack of up to five MultiWire Proportional Counters (MWPC) with Boron-coated cathodes. The cathodes were made of Aluminum and had a surface exhibiting millimeter-deep V-shaped grooves of 45 degrees, upon which the thin Boron film was deposited by DC magnet

From Software Consulting to Venture Building: A Case Study on Venture Studio Business Models

Detta examensarbete utforskar det relativt outforskade fenomenet venture studios (även känt som bolagsbyggare, venture builders och startup studios), vilka är företag som systematiskt bygger bolag. Trots att antalet venture studios ökar så är akademisk forskning kring ämnet relativt begränsad. Denna studie syftar till att fylla denna kunskapslucka genom att genomföra en fallstudie på sex svenska vThis master's thesis explores the relatively unexplored phenomenon of venture studios (also known as venture builders or startup studios), which are companies that systematically and concurrently build startups. Despite their growing popularity, the academic literature on how venture studios operate is still limited and no structured and extensive description of the business model appears to e

Slasktratt - En kvalitativ studie om kuratorns roll i en medicinsk kontext

The aim of this study was to examine how counselors in hospital settings perceive their own part in an interprofessional team.

Kommande kandidatuppsats handlar om det aktiebolagsrättsliga begreppet värdeöverföring som återfinns i 17 kap. 1 §. I lagrummet delas begreppet två delar; öppna värdeöverföringar och förtäckta värdeöverföringar. Denna uppsats kommer i huvudsak att beskriva och analysera förtäckta värdeöverföringar. Detta kommer uppsatsen att göra genom följande frågeställning: När föreligger en förtäckt värdeöverfThe upcoming bachelor's thesis deals with the corporate law concept of value transfers found in Chapter 17, Section 1. The concept is divided into two parts in the legislative provision: open value transfers and hidden value transfers. This thesis will primarily describe and analyze hidden value transfers. This will be done through the following question: When does a concealed transfer of valu

Upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos Räddningstjänstpersonal i Beredskap.

Bakgrund: En stor del av Sveriges räddningstjänst består av Räddningstjänstpersonal i Beredskap (RiB). Under beredskapen ska personalen vara tillgänglig dygnet runt för att rycka ut på eventuella larm, detta ofta parallellt med ett ordinarie arbete. Aktivitetsbalans är en viktig faktor för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande. Hur RiB upplever sin aktivitetsbalans under beredskapen finns i dagsläget
