Liver is one of the most important organs in energy metabolism. Most plasma apolipoproteins and endogenous lipids and lipoproteins are synthesized in the liver. It depends on the integrity of liver cellular function, which ensures homeostasis of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. When liver cancer occurs, these processes are impaired and the plasma lipid and lipoprotein patterns may be changed. Liv
Conodont faunas from the Eoplacognathus pseudoplanus Zone in five main areas of Middle Ordovician rocks in Sweden are described and discussed and compared with faunas of comparable age from neighbouring areas. The investigation is based on 118 samples which together yielded 175 114 conodont elements. The Swedish conodont faunas are intermediate between shallower-water faunas from the eastern part
This paper examines how social relations and norms contribute to the emergence of generalized trust in economic action. Our core proposition is that the more positive the local social exchange relationship, the greater an actor’s propensity to place trust in strangers. Our research design integrates behavioral measures elicited by incentivized experimental trust games with survey data using a rand
Economic institutions enabling trust and cooperation rest on multiplex networks and norms of reciprocity. A key feature of economic institutions is that they facilitate commercial transactions by reducing uncertainty and risk in markets. When trust and trustworthiness stem from confidence in community sanctions of norms, principal and agent relations are enforceable without resorting to legal rule
This article investigates the gender aspects of technology use in the innovation system. The generic question is: to what extent is it necessary to distinguish between women and men in the use of technology? A second question is: if gender-specific differences do exist, to what extent is the innovation system capable of utilizing experiences from women as well? The article examines two sets of tec
Recent work on heritage and social media has highlighted how social media offer new possibilities for citizens to share memories, identities, local culture and heritage, and thus constitute a more participatory and democratic platform (Giaccardi 2012). Social media encourage and enable new forms of engagement and interpretations of the heritage through user-generated content, personal reflections,
Cationic 1,3,5‑triaza‑phosphaadamantane (PTA) quinoline ruthenium(II) and iridium(III) complexes were successfully synthesized and characterized using standard spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antiplasmodial activities against the chloroquine-sensitive (CQS) NF54 and chloroquine-resistant (CQR) K1 strains of the Plasmodium falciparum species
Objective: Needle acupuncture in small children has gained some acceptance in Western medicine. It is controversial, as infants and toddlers are unable to consent to treatment. We aimed to assess its efficacy for treating infantile colic. Design: A systematic review and a blinding-test validation based on individual patient data from randomised controlled trials. Primary end-points were crying tim
This paper argues for the importance of using the regional innovation systems (RIS) approach as both an analytical framework and a policy tool for generating economic development in developing countries. The paper reconceptualizes the RIS-model to the context of developing countries. RIS is normally based on endogenous growth models; however, in this paper we extend it to rely on external capital,
Where does generalized trust—that is, the inclination to place trust in strangers—come from? Our claim is that in economic action, sources of generalized trust may not differ much from the sources of personalized trust. Contrary to a common assumption of a sharp distinction between personalized and generalized trust, we assert a likely spillover effect from relational exchange to a person’s expect
The JOINTS LAB. is my master's graduation project in Lund University after two-year study here. I always got in touch with different types of wood and the wooden workshop in the school during these two years in Lund. When considering what I should make for my graduation design project after looking back what I have done and achieved during these years, I determined to create new values to tra
A string of speech is a string of syllables, a series of varying amounts of jaw openings/closings. Neutralizing the vowel-intrinsic jaw opening indicates a pattern of jaw opening matching the utterance syllable prominence patterns. The hypothesis is that the jaw-opening patterns ensue from the metrical hierarchy of the language, such that for languages such as English, we see exponentially increas
Three plant researchers describe in this book how plants emerged via the fusion of several different types of simple prokaryotic organisms and, through algae, evolved into land plants. During their evolution, they survived global ice ages, violent volcanic eruptions, and collisions with celestial bodies. The authors follow the development of landplants along various paths- some of which have ended
The fact is that high integration between different capital markets leads to reduced international diversification opportunities for investors as well as to a greater transmission of market volatility. This study discusses the behavior of the three Baltic stock markets on the international financial arena and examines how these markets react on different inflows of information and economical shock
The practice of social development is situated within a broader phenomenological context known as the ―development paradigm‖—a grand milieu of institutions, policies, projects, and agents. Increasingly, social science discourses equate the development paradigm to a hegemonic project of empire epitomised by the moniker ―neoliberalism‖. As one such social development practitioner, I explore the ques
Bakgrund: Ikea har under en längre tid upplevt problem med felaktiga kapaciteter registrerade i deras system. Idag finns det inget gemensamt arbetssätt för att registrera och uppdatera kapacitetsinformation och därför reflekterar inte informationen i systemet leverantörernas verkliga kapaciteter. Detta gör det svårt för företaget att kunna ha en överblick över kapaciteterna och hur de är allokeradBackground:IKEA has, during a long time, experienced problems with incorrect capacities registered in their system. There is no standardized way of working with registering and updating the information regarding capacity today. Therefore, the information regarding the suppliers’ capacities does not reflect the reality. Furthermore, the company does not have a clear picture of how the capacities ar
