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

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

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. As with any type of treatment the requirement for evidence based practice (EBP) has also affected art therapy (AT) when used as an interve

In this paper we present a model of the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations and fluxes in mire water based on the convection-dispersion equation. The dynamics of sorbed, potentially soluble organic carbon (SPSOC) in the peat matrix are simulated in parallel with DOC. First, the model is applied solely to stagnant water conditions in order to interpret the results of laboratory peat incub

This article explores the paradox of corporations using social and environmental justice concerns to market products that are themselves made in conditions of environmental and social injustice, most often in the Global South. The effects of the fashion industry on people is two-pronged: 1) the unsafe and exploitative conditions under which many garment workers operate, and 2) the severe and harmf

We investigate how early exposure to parental externalizing behaviors (EB) may contribute to development of alcohol use disorders (AUD) in young adulthood, testing a developmental cascade model focused on competencies in three domains (academic, conduct, and work) in adolescence and emerging adulthood, and examining whether high parental education can buffer negative effects of parental EB and oth

The hypothalamus is the central regulator of energy homeostasis. Hypothalamic neuronal circuits are disrupted upon overfeeding, and play a role in the development of metabolic disorders. While mouse models have been extensively employed for understanding the mechanisms of hypothalamic dysfunction, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) on hypothalamic nuclei has been challenging. We implemen

Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is characterized by diffuse thickening of the arterial intima. Statins reduce the incidence of CAV, but despite the use of statins, CAV remains one of the leading causes of long-term death after heart transplant. Inhibitors of proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) substantially reduce cholesterol levels but have not been tested in he

The intensification of agriculture during the second half of the twentieth century, has caused sever declines of farmland biodiversity, where loss of semi-natural habitats is one of the major drivers. To halt further loss of habitat and biodiversity, agri-environmental schemes (AES) are used to compensate farmers to use methods less harmful to the environment. In this thesis, I have investigated t

Although brain tumors are classified and treated based upon their histology, the molecular factors involved in the development of various tumor types remain unknown. In this study, we show that the type and order of genetic events directs the development of gliomas, central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumors, and atypical teratoid/rhabdoid-like tumors from postnatal mouse neural stem/

Vid genomförande av en detaljplan där exploatören äger marken tecknas ofta ett exploateringsavtal mellan kommun och exploatör. Sedan 1 januari 2015 finns termen exploateringsavtal definierad i PBL 1 kap. 4 § och i samband med detta infördes även bestämmelser angående riktlinjer för exploateringsavtal samt bestämmelser om vad som får och inte får regleras i ett sådant avtal, se PBL 6 kap. 39-42 §§.In areas with private mandatorship for public spaces a joint facility is formed for the operation and maintenance of the facility. The main rule is that the municipality is the mandator of public spaces. If special exceptions occour, the mandatorship can be transferred to the private land-owners. In these cases, a community association for the land-owners is formed to administrate the joint facili

För att förhindra materiellt oriktiga domar, tillämpas ett högt beviskrav. Allmänhetens rättstrygghet får därmed ge vika för den tilltalades rättighet att inte utsättas för en risk att bli felaktigt dömd. Vidare har den tilltalade enligt art 6 EKMR en rätt till tystnad under rättegången. Följaktligen kan en domstol inte basera en fällande dom enbart på den tilltalades tystnad. Utifrån en rättsdogmA high standard of proof is used in criminal trials to prevent erroneous convictions. The accused has the right not to be exposed to the risk of being wrongfully convicted. A criminal defendant who is being prosecuted also has a right to silence. Thus it is incompatible with the right to silence to base a conviction solely on the defendant’s silence. This paper examines whether the standard of pro

The study examined social workers experiences in their work with adolescents in out-of-home care, focused on sexuality. The aim of the study was to understand their experiences with a constructionist perspective on sexuality and with a focus on the organizational context that the experiences were formed in. These perspectives were selected with the ambition to achieve an extensive view of the stud

Skötselplaner – långa och tråkiga, men viktiga! De flesta av oss tycker nog att det är härligt att ge sig ut i ett naturreservat och strosa runt – uppleva de många typer av växter och djur som området erbjuder. Kanske får man se både fåglar, däggdjur, insekter och med stor sannolikhet får man vandra i både skog och äng. Naturreservat har detta gemensamt – de erhåller en stor variation av naturtyp

The purpose of this study is to investigate a loyalty card and its relation to accompanying promotional benefits, and their linkages to grocery retail service loyalty. Also, the aim sets out to find relationships between demographic variables and proneness towards the promotional benefits, the loyalty card, and loyalty. A quantitative approach has been assumed and empirical data has been collected

BACKGROUND: Low level of physical activity is a risk factor for new cardiac events in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors. Physical activity can be assessed by self-reporting or objectively by accelerometery.AIM: To investigate the agreement between self-reported and objectively assessed physical activity among OHCA survivors HYPOTHESIS: Self-reported levels of physical activity will s
