The primary aim of the present study was to determine the expression levels of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) in steatotic rat livers. The secondary aim was to clarify whether steatosis and inflammation are more marked in areas with increased CB1 overexpression. For ethical and economic reasons, the present study investigated tissue from archived liver blocks, which were obtained from 38 rats t

This paper applied an ecocritical perspective on street art to expand on the notion that street art can have an impact on how we relate to urban public space. In doing so, it argued that street art is particularly well positioned to affect the way we think and act with regard to the environment.

Context: In a cross-sectional study, we found an association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and smaller bone area together with greater bone mineral density (BMD) at the total hip.Objective: This work aims to investigate these associations longitudinally, by studying T2DM status (no T2DM n = 1521, incident T2DM n = 119, or prevalent T2DM n = 106) in relation to changes in total hip bone a

ABSTRACTObjectivesAn emerging body of research reveals a heightened risk of gambling problems among elite athletes, particularly among males, but these studies often suffer from small sample sizes and lack diverse representation across sports and groups. This study aimed to investigate gambling problems and their correlates among elite male and female ice hockey players in Sweden’s top leagues.Met

In this master thesis project, the formation of fouling on heat exchanger surfaces in dairy processing and mainly the influence of air was examined. Based on prior experimental findings regarding the influence of air bubbles in combination with calculations based on solubility properties of air in milk, a hypothesis was stated. Milk can enter the processing system without any undissolved air, with

A method for CdSe quantum dot (QD) sensitization of ZnO nanowires (NW) with fast adsorption rate is applied. Photoinduced excited state dynamics of the quantum dots in the case of more than monolayer coverage of the nanowires is studied. Transient absorption kinetics reveals an excitation depopulation process of indirectly attached quantum dots with a lifetime of similar to 4 ns. Photoluminescence

Earth-abundant transition-metal complexes are desirable for sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells or photocatalysts. Iron is an obvious choice, but the energy level structure of its typical polypyridyl complexes, featuring low-lying metal-centered states, has made such complexes useless as energy converters. Recently, we synthesized a novel iron-N-heterocyclic carbene complex exhibiting a rema

Oat-based beverages enriched with vitamins and minerals were produced with common hydrothermal treatments and stored at 22 degrees C for 64 weeks. The effects of decanting on the retention of native vitamins, minerals and fatty acids, and different UHT holding time (5 s or 20 s) at 140 degrees C on vitamins were investigated. Fatty acid profile, vitamin retention and dissolved oxygen concentration

Photophysical studies of pseudo-p-distyryl[2.2]paracyclophane, a model molecule of a stilbene dimer arranged in a brick-wall geometry, in tetrahydrofurane solution indicate the existence of at least two conformers in the ground state. The conformer A with the smallest optical gap of 3 eV has a short radiative lifetime of 3.3 ns, while the conformer B with an optical gap about 0.3 eV larger is much

Denna artikel utforskar hur ledande beslutsfattare navigerar förhållandet mellan mänskligt omdöme och dataanalys i sina beslutsprocesser. Genom kvalitativa metoder, inklusive intervjuer med beslutsfattare från olika organisationer, avslöjar studien balansen mellan mänsklig intuition och datadrivna beslut. Resultaten belyser den fortsatta betydelsen av mänskligt omdöme bredvid teknologiska framsteg

The thesis covers human rights violations against persons with disabilities, focusing on their right to political life and the right to vote, using the framework of critical disability theory. The aim of the thesis is two-folded: it analyses the use of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in the adjudication of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) with a focus

The development of an N-body/hydrodynamic ‘surrogate’ model of the Milky Way (MW) – a model that resembles the MW in several key aspects after many Gyrs of evolution – would be extremely beneficial for Galactic Archaeology. Here, we present four new ‘surrogate’ models, all built with the nexus framework. The simulations contain stars, dark matter and gas. Our most sophisticated model allows gas to

Many of society’s critical infrastructures, such as power supply, telecommunications, and transportation, have become increasingly interconnected. While this gives rise to increased efficiency, tighter connections also invites increased vulnerability and the risks of cascading failures. Moreover, at the same time as many of these vital systems have become increasingly dependent on one another, the

We introduce a new method to calculate dark matter halo density profiles from simulations. Each particle is ‘smeared’ over its orbit to obtain a dynamical profile that is averaged over a dynamical time, in contrast to the traditional approach of binning particles based on their instantaneous positions. The dynamical and binned profiles are in good agreement, with the dynamical approach showing a s

CONTEXT/OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of statins and other lipid-lowering agents on the development of Graves orbitopathy (GO) in patients with newly diagnosed Graves disease (GD). METHODS: Our sample included the full adult population of individuals living in Sweden with newly diagnosed GD between 2005 and 2018 (n = 34 894). We compared the GO incidence in statin user

We present the results of a near-infrared (NIR) monitoring programme carried out between 1999 and 2005 to determine the variability properties of the 'Arecibo sample of OH/IR stars'. The sample consists of 385 IRAS-selected Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) candidates, for which their O-rich chemistry has been proven by the detection of 1612 MHz OH maser emission. The monitoring data were complemented
