Starch microspheres were produced by emulsification of a starch dispersion in an aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution. Crystalline/ordered structure was formed within these starch droplets during incubation at 6 °C for 25 h followed by incubation at 37 °C for 28 h. After incubation at 37 °C the crystalline structure in the samples was of type B. The crystallization process of microspheres wa

Upper body muscle strength and endurance in relation to peak exercise capacity during cycling in healthy sedentary male subjects. J Strength Cond Res 24(x): 000-000, 2010-The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between upper body muscle strength and endurance, and exercise capa
Aim: This population-based study assessed the incidence of rickets in infants up to age of one born in Sweden from 1997 to 2014. We also examined maternal and perinatal factors and co-morbidity. Methods: We used Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare registers and data from Statistics Sweden. The outcome measure was an International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, code for ricket
Eighteen healthy sedentary males took part in supervised bicycle training for 50 minutes three to five times a week. Twelve subjects (group A) trained for 6 weeks at heavy intensity, and six subjects (group B) trained for 12 weeks at moderate intensity. Maximal oxygen uptake increased by about 20% (P less than 0.01). Body weight and composition as well as diet remained unchanged. After 6 weeks pla
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms and associated factors in women who underwent treatments for fear of birth; internet-based cognitive therapy, counseling with midwives, continuity with a known midwife or standard care. A secondary analysis was performed using data collected from four samples of women identified with fear of birth and receiving treatmen
We report on phase and strain changes in Ti1-xAlxN (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.61) coatings on cutting tools during turning recorded in operando by high-energy x-ray diffractometry. Orthogonal cutting of AISI 4140 steel was performed with cutting speeds of 360–370 m/min. Four positions along the tool rake face were investigated as a function of time in cut. Formation of γ-Fe in the chip reveals that the temperatur
With more than 260 000 islands, Sweden is one of the countries with most islands in the world. Its islands are located along the coasts and in the larger lakes. For the municipalities and regions where they are located, the islands are places for recreation and symbols in tourism marketing. A rough overview over the impact of the pandemic on rural and remote areas indicates that Swedish tourism in
Stable isotope fractionation is emerging quickly as a powerful novel technique to study metal uptake and translocation in plants. Fundamental to this development is a thorough understanding of the processes that lead to isotope fractionation under differing environmental conditions. In this study, we investigated Zn and Fe isotope fractionation in rice grown to maturity in anaerobic and aerobic so
Background and aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs through cluster analysis of antibiotic sensitivity data from clinical isolates of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas spp., obtained from soft tissue wounds and burn injuries. Methods: The cohort included 76 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas spp. obtained from 141 patients (male – 95,
AIM: We aimed to examine the effect of Ramadan fasting on interstitial glucose control and variability before, during, and after Ramadan in type 2 diabetes patients receiving insulin therapy.METHODS: Participants received a flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system one week before Ramadan that was removed on the sixth or seventh day (pre- and early Ramadan periods) of Ramadan and a second FGM system o
The voting behavior of the Members of the European Parliament (MEP) has been widely studied. However, little is written about the effects of crises. This thesis tries to understand how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the MEPs voting behavior in relation to their European political group (EPG) and in addition their national party. This was done using the two theories: the two principal dilemma
I Iliaden 8.321-334 beskrivs hur den grekiske bågskytten Teukros träffas av en sten på nyckelbenet. Armen domnar, vilket tyder på en nervskada. I uppsatsen görs en språklig och medicinsk analys av Homeros anatomiska kunskaper. Mycket talar för att Homeros anatomiuppfattning framförallt är av empiriskt–funktionell art, den är i mindre grad grundad på systematiska kunskaper. I uppsatsen presenteras During the Trojan War, the Greek archer Teucer was hit by a stone on the collar-bone. His arm went numb, indicating a nerve injury. Through a linguistic and medical analysis, Homer’s anatomical knowledge is examined. The conclusion is that Homer’s concept of anatomy was mainly founded on an empirical and functional knowledge, to a lesser degree on systematic knowledge. The paper offers an explanat
1 Akademisk litteracitet som gemensamt ansvar Abstract This report, written by language consultants Gustav Dahlin and Nina Šarić at the Faculty of Social Sciences, presents a pedagogical project that investigates the extent of embedded reading- and writing instruction into the Social Work Programme. It also explores how collaboration between subject educators and academic writing instructors might
Sexuella övergrepp mot barn tillhör de mål som är allra svårast att hantera i svenska domstolar. Ofta består bevisningen i målet endast av barnets utsaga, vilket medför svåra bevisvärderingsproblem. Högsta domstolen har i NJA 2010 s. 671 fastslagit ett antal kriterier som kan vara behjälpliga vid bevisvärdering av muntliga utsagor. Vad som bland annat kan beaktas är om utsagan är lång, sammanhängaCases involving child sexual abuse are among the most complex cases for Swedish courts to handle. Evidence often only consists of the child’s statement, which complicates the process of evaluating the evidence. In order to facilitate the evaluation of oral statements the Supreme Court of Sweden established a number of different criteria in its ruling in NJA 2010 s. 671. The statements should for i
The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate fathers’ experience of becoming parents of a pretermborn infant as well as their experience in the years after their infant’s birth. A further aim was to describe the context of neonatal care by investigating trends in outcome during a ten-year period in the southern region of Sweden. In total twenty-one fathers were interviewed at three different ti
