In previous clinical trials, we showed that remote ischemic preconditioning (rIPC) reduced myocardial damage in children undergoing treatment for congenital heart defects and postoperative renal failure in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery. In rabbit experiments, pre-treatment with plasma and plasma dialysate (obtained using 15-kDa cut-off dialysis membrane) from donor rabbits
Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common disorders in the population. Lifestyle habits have been suspected to influence the presence and degree of symptoms, and many studies have examined the role of food components and physical activity on the disease development. The role of smoking and alcohol intake on FGID has been less thoroughly examined. This systematic literature review, o
The epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on a global scale is a matter of concern, not only from a public health perspective, but also with consideration of societal costs. The increased call on health care resources to treat and monitor T2DM and its complications could put a heavy burden on national health care systems and financing. An important contributing factor for development of T2DM
The transition towards low-carbon energy systems undeniably requires a strong scale-up in the diffusion of renewable energy technologies globally. Given its theoretical and techno-economic potential, solar photovoltaics (PV) is considered an important option. The envisioned scale-up of the use of solar PV, however, requires an in-depth and system-oriented perspective on structures and processes re
Brown algae are rich in polyphenolic compounds, phlorotannins, which have been found to possess high in vitro antioxidant capacity, especially DPPH radical scavenging activity, due to the high number of hydroxyl groups. Whereas, the overall antioxidant capacity of brown algae extracts has been widely studied, the antioxidant capacity of individual phlorotannins has been rarely explored. The aim of
Background: The effects of "maternal environment" on fetal development have been studied since the eighties, but the results regarding the features which influence mother-fetus relationship are inconsistent. Aim: To develop a mother-fetus relationship assessment scale on a Hungarian sample, and to reveal the factors that determine mother-fetus bonding. Method: 114 pregnant women, between 15 and 38
An ultrasonically-enhanced mechanochemical method was developed to synthesize CaFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with various interlayer anions (CO3 2−, NO3 −, ClO4 −, N3 −, F−, Cl−, Br− and I−). The duration of pre-milling and ultrasonic irradiation and the variation of synthesis temperature in the wet chemical step were investigated to obtain the optimal parameters of preparation. The main me
Study Design: Descriptive study. Introduction: Early sensory relearning where the dynamic capacity of the brain is used has been shown to improve sensory outcome after nerve repair. However, no previous studies have examined how patients experience early sensory relearning. Purpose of the Study: To describe patient's views on early sensory relearning. Methods: Statements' scores were analyzed by f
Horticultural plant materials not usually used from onion, carrot, beetroot, sea buckthorn, black and red currants as well as a wastewater powder from olive oil production were analyzed for total phenols content (FC), ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP), radical scavenging capacity (ABTS), and for major phenolic compounds by HPLC-MS. Antioxidant capacity and phenol content varied significantl
Introduction: The proportion of women who postpone childbearing is increasing. As malignancy risk increases with age, pregnancy in connection with malignancy will become more common. Material and methods: We compared infants born 1994-2011 to women with a malignancy within six months prior to the last menstrual period or during pregnancy with offspring of women without a previous malignancy. Five
We apply the twin method to determine parallaxes to 232 545 stars of the RAVE survey using the parallaxes of Gaia DR1 as a reference. To search for twins in this large data set, we apply the t-student stochastic neighbour embedding projection that distributes the data according to their spectral morphology on a two-dimensional map. From this map, we choose the twin candidates for which we calculat
Soil organic matter (SOM) supports the Earth's ability to sustain terrestrial ecosystems, provide food and fiber, and retains the largest pool of actively cycling carbon. Over 75% of the soil organic carbon (SOC) in the top meter of soil is directly affected by human land use. Large land areas have lost SOC as a result of land use practices, yet there are compensatory opportunities to enhance prod
This thesis examines the development of three generic pronouns in the history of the Swedish language, from the year of ca. 1225 until today. The analysis focuses on how the former noun man (‘man’), numeral en (‘one’) and personal pronoun du (‘you’) have turned into generic pronouns, thereby referring to one or a number of arbitrarily chosen human individuals. Furthermore, the study maps how the g
Renovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance. For Sweden, it is important to renovate its multifamily buildings in order to achieve a reduced energy use, but also because renovation is needed due to building materials and services reaching (or having passed) the end of their life span. In order to renovate properly, renovation measures must be imple
Single gate oxide defects in strongly scaled Tunneling Field-Effect Transistors with an inverse subthreshold slope well below 60 mV/decade are investigated by Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) noise measurements. The cause for RTS noise are electrons being captured in and released from individual defects in the gate oxide. Under the assumption that elastic tunneling is the underlying capture and emiss
Med utgångspunkt i Miljöbyggnad, det svenska miljöcertifieringssystemet, har en skolbyggnads status utvärderats. De bedömda indikatorerna inom energi, inomhusmiljö och material gav en bred och övergriplig bild av byggnadens skick och utvärderingen ger en bra grund för det fortsatta arbetet. Skolbyggnaden Kullagymnasiet i Höganäs, Skåne, bedöms nå certifieringsnivån brons, vilket minst motsvarar sa
Nationellt Renoveringscentrum (NRC) bildades 2013 för att arbeta med kunskapshöjning och informationsspridning om en effektiv renoveringsprocess. Centret siktar på att samla och föra vidare kunskap om hur renovering av befintlig bebyggelse kan genomföras både effektivt för involverade aktörer såväl som socialt, ekonomiskt och miljömässigt hållbart för samhället. Kunskap från både akademi och närin
