Background and Aims The island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea had no contact with surrounding continental areas since the withdrawal of the Weichselian ice sheet at ca 17 ka BP. Plants present on Gotland must have arrived by long distance dispersal, so populations are expected to exhibit reduced levels of genetic diversity compared with surrounding mainlands. However, orchids have very small seeds, Background and AimsThe island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea has had no contact with surrounding continental areas since the withdrawal of the Weichselian ice sheet at approx. 17 ka BP.

The purpose of this paper is to present some reflections on the relationship between the production of contemporary art and the function of national identities in our Scandinavian and Baltic countries. The main assumption of the paper is a non-essentialist one: the author assumes that national identity, like art and the context(s) of the art-world(s), is something which is produced and socially co

By breeding TRAMP mice with S100A9 knock-out (S100A9(-/-)) animals and scoring the appearance of palpable tumors we observed a delayed tumor growth in animals devoid of S100A9 expression. CD11b(+) S100A9 expressing cells were not observed in normal prostate tissue from control C57BL/6 mice but were readily detected in TRAMP prostate tumors. Also, S100A9 expression was observed in association with

This thesis is about the social services’ investigations into childrens need of protection and support. The principal purpose is, from a critical perspective, to analyse and discuss how the legally-accorded procedural directives for the execution of an investigation, and therein the integrated support and counselling work, are adapted in the social services’ actual investigation work in relation t

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang skapades 3 grundämnen: H, He, och spår av Li. Alla andra grundämnen har bildats i stjärnor. Lågmassiva stjärnor som vår sol kan genom kärnreaktioner skapa grundämnen upp till och med syre i det periodiska systemet, medan mer massiva stjärnor kan skapa grundämnen ända upp till järn. Tyngre grundämnen än järn produceras in slutstadierna av stjärnornas liv, tillAll the elements heavier than Li are created during stellar evolution. Even if our knowledge of this process is good, many questions still remain. For instance, the odd-Z iron-peak elements Sc, V, Mn, and Co together with neutron-capture elements Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu have still unclear production sites because theoretical models and observational evidences are not in agreement. Having a

We suggest a physical picture of the catalytic act combining together the energy transfer and the synchronisation of the best electron density in the reactant and active site as a consecutive sequence of events. Activity and selectivity at molecular level are defined. Geometry requirements seem to be linked to energy and time requirements. Our proposal for developing new catalysts at the molecular

In this article, some of the possibilities and obstacles involved in attaining stable peace in the Baltic Sea region are analysed. By stable peace is understood a relationship in which military conflict resolution has become unthinkable regardless of how serious a prospective conflict may become. It is argued that stable peace does not presently exist in the region as a whole, but that instead the

Objectives: To examine the relationship between the English index of multiple deprivation (IMD) and the incidence of pre-eclampsia (PE), evaluate the distribution of IMD in a cohort of ethnically diverse pregnant women in South East England and assess whether IMD improves the prediction of PE compared with that provided by the ‘history-only’ competing-risks model (based on maternal characteristics

This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the long-term survival and prognostic factors in patients with metastatic small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (siNETs). Patients with siNETs usually present with advanced disease, limiting curative treatment options. The overall survival seems favorable compared to other cancers, but differences in terminology, lack of consistent coding, conflicting results fr

Background: The Parkinson Disease (PD) Home Diary (HD) is a commonly used clinical outcome measure, but it has not been extensively compared to direct assessments by experienced observers.Objective: Validation of patient-reported HD by investigating the agreement between motor state assessments by patients and observers.Methods: This observational study included patients with PD and motor fluctuat
