Background: Labor subjects the fetus to an hypoxic episode and concomitant adrenomodullary catecholamine surge that may provide protection against the hypoxic insult. The beta1-adrenergic agonist dobutamine protects against hypoxia/aglycemia induced neuronal damage. We aimed to identify the associated protective biological processes involved. Results: Hippocampal slices from 6 days old mice showed

The literature on regional innovation systems emphasizes the role of the region as locus for interactive learning and knowledge exchange, stressing the importance of (geographical) proximity for innovation. Even though the importance of extra-regional knowledge is widely acknowledged, there has been only little emphasis on the particular role and the nature of global knowledge flows. The aim of th

Aim: The primary objective of this study was to describe demographics and end-of-life treatments of children with cancer at a government tertiary cancer center in India. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of medical charts of all children younger than 18 years, who died as inpatients while undergoing treatment at the pediatric oncology department between April and September 2016. Data

On 19 September 2016, the UNGA adopted the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants through which States committed to developing two compacts: one on refugees and one on safe, orderly and regular migration. The Zero Drafts of the compacts were published on 31 January 2018 and 5 February 2018, respectively. The move towards the discussion and adoption of the global compacts comes in part in r

OBJECTIVE: The microenvironment of colon cancer (CC) is heterogeneous including cells of myeloid lineage affecting tumor growth and metastasis. Two functional subtypes of myeloid cells have been identified; one (M1) is tumor-inhibitory and the other one (M2) is tumor-promoting. Whether the three myeloid markers EMR1, CD206 and CD86 are expressed only in the infiltrating myeloid cells or also in th

Modern well-insulated and highly glazed buildings experience increased overheating, even in cold climates. The study focused on external and internal passive solar shadings on a south-oriented façade, having predetermined that external and internal shadings’ main function is solar heat gain and glare protection, respectively. A daytime-occupied office space with several external shading geometry v

Additive manufacturing (AM), which was first applied for rapid prototyping, is now becoming a real option for small-batch production of final products. Further expansion of AM is closely correlated to production costs. AM can only become competitive to traditional manufacturing methods if a product is designed for AM already from the beginning as it is an expensive technology that should only be a

REST is a transcriptional repressor that targets a group of neuronal genes in non-neuronal cells. In embryonic stem (ES) cells, REST has been implicated in controlling the expression of transcription factor genes that are crucial for lineage determination and for maintaining ES cell potential. Here, we asked whether REST directly regulates neural-specifying genes in mouse ES cells using siRNA-medi

Abstract in Undetermined[Context and motivation] There is considerable flexibility in requirements specifications (both functional and non-functional), as well as in the features of available OSS components. This allows a collaborative matching and negotiation process between stakeholders such as: customers, software contractors and OSS communities, regarding desired requirements versus available

Popular Abstract in Swedish Villkoren för utbildning och undervisning förändras i väsentliga avseenden i takt med samhällets tilltagande komplexitet. Det är många gånger svårt för både lärare och elever att veta hur man på bästa sätt ska orientera sitt pedagogiska handlande. Med utgångspunkt från tre pedagogiska kontexter - grundskolan, de särskilda ungdomshemmen och grundskollärarutbildningen - pPedagogical practice is, in several important considerations, contradictory in character. In this dissertation attenention is drawn towards the field of tension that prevails between pedagogical action, which can be descibed in terms of strategic processes and communicative pedagogical action. While the former places the preconditions for effective knowledge development of the individual at the ce

Uppsatsen syftar till att söka förståelse till varför tvister mellan fackförbund om vem som ska teckna kollektivavtal uppstår. Arbetsmarknadernas parter är i allmänhet ense om att det som regel bör finnas ett kollektivavtal på varje avtalsområde. Kollektivavtalets speciella rättsverkningar gör det viktigt för fackförbunden att vara avtalspart i ett kollektivavtal. Kollektivavtalet sätter i stor utThe aim of this essay is to seek understanding about why conflicts appear between trade unions regarding which one of them should sign the collective agreement in the workplace. The labour market parties are in general in an agreement that there should only be one applicable collective agreement in every area of work. The unique effects of the collective agreement make it crucial for the trade uni

This essay concerns the use of judicial preview and review in Sweden and Germany. First, it is presented how judicial preview and review works in each respective system, and then the procedure of the enactment of a law is presented. In the analysis it is discussed how differently the law would've been treated, if Sweden had the same judicial review as in Germany. The conclusion is that the gr

I den här studien undersöks hur fem musiklärare som är, eller har varit, verksamma i anpassad grundskola beskriver hur de arbetar med musikalisk kunskapsutveckling, delaktighet och måluppfyllelse. Undersökningen baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer och hela arbetet vilar på socialkonstruktivismen som vetenskapsteori. Ämnesvalet grundar sig i en nyfikenhet kring hur vi som framtida lärare kan arThis study investigates how five music teachers that are, or have been, working in Swedish compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities describe how they are working with development of musical knowledge, inclusion and goal attainment. The study is conducted by using semistructured interviews and is grounded in social constructivism as its scientific theoretical framework. The selec

Rapporten behandlar arbetsmiljön vid termisk ogräsbekämpning. Metoden innebär att ogräset hettas upp med hjälp av gaslågor. Både stora fordonsburna och mindre handdrivna används. Det som från arbetsmiljösynpunkt är speciellt med metoden är de risker som är förknippade med gasolanvändningen. De allvarligaste problemen med de aggregat som studerats har varit heta och oskyddade plåtar, heta avgaser o

In temperate regions, many vector-borne parasites maximise their transmission prospects by adjusting reproduction to seasonal cycles of host susceptibility and vector availability. Nevertheless, in these regions there are areas where environmental conditions are favourable throughout the year, so that parasites could benefit from a year-round transmission strategy. We analysed how different transm
