It is postulated that exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) can evoke neurological disorders. In the present study pancreatic-like enzymes of microbial origin (PLEM) were examined as a functional food component, with the goal of improving cognitive function and brain structure in a pig model of EPI. EPI in the present study induced alterations in the behaviour of the pigs as well as degenerative
Most findings on the triple helix system derive from studies based on high-tech sectors, and seldom so on traditional industries. A foresight exercise aimed at renewal of the mature food industry in the Skåne region in southern Sweden was conducted in 2006-2007. The findings suggest that a multilevel triple helix policy ought to be used in a systemic way from a bottom up perspective, including com
Contagious yawning has been reported for humans, dogs and several non-human primate species, and associated with empathy in humans and other primates. Still, the function, development and underlying mechanisms of contagious yawning remain unclear. Humans and dogs show a developmental increase in susceptibility to yawn contagion, with children showing an increase around the age of four, when also e
LACM 128319, which was collected in western Kansas, U. S. A., and is assignable to Platecarpus tympaniticus (Mosasauridae, Plioplatecarpinae), represents arguably one of the most exquisite mosasaur specimens known to date. Measuring 5.67 m from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail, it comprises an exceptionally well-articulated skeleton, accompanied by soft-tissue remains, such as skin impr
In this empirical study, we have shown that adhesion of dairy products such as fermented milk and yoghurt on packaging materials is dependent on the product contact time to the surface. Approximately 10% of all fermented milk products remain on the inside of today's packaging material. The viscosity of the product seems to have a major effect on how much product that will be adhered to the surface
There have been no reports on the effect of immigrant status and socioeconomic status on outcome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in Sweden.
Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee involving predominantly the medial tibiofemoral compartment is common in older people, giving rise to pain and loss of function. Many people experience progressive worsening of the disease over time, particularly those with varus malalignment and increased medial knee joint load. Therefore, interventions that can reduce excessive medial knee loading may be be
Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs aim to alleviate short term poverty and reduce intergenerational poverty by supplying targeted poor households with cash transfers contingent upon certain program parameters, such as school attendance for children. Evaluation on CCTs have found that such programs generally increase school enrolment and school attendance but its subsequent effect on labor ma
User-generated social media content has been increasingly used in mainstream news. This essay aims to examine how Bana Alabed's narrative has been framed in mainstream news and if the framing reflects power relations in mainstream news. The case used in this essay is Bana Alabed's narrative of living in Aleppo during the Syrian civil war. It will be examined how the narrative appears in th
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att titta på hur ett företag med sina risker spridda över olika branscher arbetar med att förstärka sin verksamhet i förhållande till framfarten av en global kris, i detta fall Covid-19. För denna studiens genomförande har vi valt att förhålla oss till företagets upplevda styrkor i förhållande till krishantering och hur denna krishantering kan hjälpa till att bibehållaPurpose: The purpose of the study is to look at how a company with its risks spread across different industries is working to strengthen its operations in relation to the progress of a global crisis, in this case Covid-19. As the purpose of this study, we have chosen to relate to the company's perceived strengths in relation to crisis management and how this crisis management can help maintain
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve
Exposure to skin sensitizers on a daily basis has been leading to a high prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) among the general population. Single substances have been thoroughly studied for their skin sensitizing potential, yet little is known about the cellular mechanisms of so-called “cocktail effects” of mixtures. It has been suggested that induction of oxidative stress, and more re
This thesis is an analysis of the effects and experiences of reclassification from the Swedish SAB system to the Dewey Decimal Classification at one of the faculty libraries at Lund University. The background for this study is the National Library report from 2006 where advantages and disadvantages of switching to the DDC were outlined. The theoretical framework is based on Bowker and Star’s infra
Conditional cash transfers are a popular social policy across Latin America. Often focused on investments in early childhood education and care, the social policy requires conditionalities such as educational attainment and healthcare to achieve human capital development. In the short-run the severity of poverty will be reduced by the immediate relief provided by transfers, whereas the conditional
Purpose: This study aims to determine how a company uses sustainability reporting to engage its stakeholders, with a view toward analysing legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory. Sustainability disclosure is a key source for determining whether a stakeholder will keep a relationship with a company. Focusing on pharmaceuticals in the Nordic region yields more conclusive results because the Nordic
Lake Vomb, located in Sk˚ane, Sweden, provides water for groundwater infiltration, used for the drinking water supply of several municipalities, including Malm¨o. The lake is in a bad ecological condition with intense algae blooms during summer. Cyanobacteria dominate mentioned blooms in 2021 posing the threat of releasing cyanotoxins. The goal of this work is to asses the water quality dynamics t
It has been almost 20 years since inclusive education was first implemented in Indonesia; however, based on the previous studies, the realities surrounding inclusive education strategies remain disappointing as disabled students continue to face discrimination and segregation in school. By taking into account how inclusive education discourse is constituted within national documents and affects th
A desymmetrization route to fused Troger's base analogues was developed. In this way, the synthesis of the first example of an anti-anti diastereomer of a fused tris-Troger's base analogue was accomplished. The resulting compound 5b is a nonlinear symmetric regioisomer obtained from p-bromoaniline in 7% yield. The corresponding syn-anti diastereomer 5a was obtained in 4% yield.
Neoproterozoic high-grade metamorphic rocks of the lower to middle crust are exposed along parts of the East African Orogen (EAO). However, the mechanisms and rates of exhumation of these deep orogenic rocks remain unclear. In eastern Eritrea, the rocks of the EAO comprise two lithotectonic domains: Ghedem and Bizen. The Ghedem domain consists of low-angle mylonites among lower to middle crustal g
