En kopp kaffe och Marx, tack!

Bokcaféerna spelade en avgörande roll inom den västeuropeiska vänsterns tryck- och mediekultur under 1970-talet. Även i Sverige gjorde bokcaféerna omfattande avtryck inom kultur- och samhällslivet, till exempel genom att etablera den politiska pocketgenren. När fenomenet dog ut under nästa decennium försvann en betydande plattform för den radikala folkbildningen.

Är du rysk eller?

Vibration thresholds in carpal tunnel syndrome assessed by multiple frequency vibrometry : a case-control study

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy, but there is no gold standard for establishing the diagnosis. The ability to feel vibrations in the fingertips is dependent on the function in cutaneous receptors and afferent nerves. Our aim was to investigate vibration perception thresholds (VPTs) in patients with CTS using multi-frequency vibrometry.Methods: Six

The calcium channel subunit gamma-4 is regulated by MafA and necessary for pancreatic beta-cell specification

Voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channels trigger glucose-induced insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cell and their dysfunction increases diabetes risk. These heteromeric complexes include the main subunit alpha1, and the accessory ones, including subunit gamma that remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that CaV gamma subunit 4 (CaVγ4) is downregulated in islets from human donors with diabetes, diabe

Removal of metals from contaminated waters : Evaluating the use of synthetic adsorbents and green algae biomass

Metal contamination of water bodies has attracted global attention owing to its environmental toxicity, abundance and persistence. Metals such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury are of greater concern since they are toxic even at low concentrations. Mercury is present at 1000 times lower concentrations than the other two metals, but still has a negative impact on the environment due to its high trans

Adsorption of cadmium by a high-capacity adsorbent composed of silicate-titanate nanotubes embedded in hydrogel chitosan beads

In this study, we developed a nanoparticle-based mesoporous composite that consisted of silicate-titanate nanotubes (STNTs) supported in hydrogel chitosan beads (STNTs-Ch beads) and was studied for Cd2+ adsorption. By using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission and scanning electron microscopy coupled to an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, we coulddetermine that the hollow STN

Depressivity and mortality risk in a cohort of elderly men. A role of cognitive and vascular ill-health, and social participation

Objectives: Depressive symptoms in the elderly have been shown to be associated with increased mortality. The purpose of this study was to examine symptoms of depression in octogenarian men and their association with all-cause mortality, and whether physical, cognitive and social factors influence this association. Methods: Out of the 703 initially included 55-years-old men, from the prospective c

Wave splitting in the time domain for a radially symmetric geometry

A decomposition of the field of the wave equation in three dimensions is suggested. This wave splitting decomposes the field into two components such that in free space simple propagation properties are obtained. The inhomogeneous region is assumed to have a phase velocity variation that varies only in the radial coordinate r from the origin. The suggested wave splitting is a generalization of the

Numerical effects in time-domain simulations of electronic circuits - a reminder

This paper reminds the analog designer of the possible stability problems encountered when simulating strongly resonating circuits in the time domain. The warping of circuit pole positions in different numerical integration algorithms is reviewed, and it is shown that all time domain simulation algorithms suffer from this effect, including Simulink, time-domain steady-state, and a harmonic balance
