Four green microalgae (Chlorella sorokiniana, Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus obliquus and Selenastrum capricornutum), a wild Bolivian microalga strain and two cyanobacteria (Anabaena catenula and Microcystis aeruginosa) were compared for tolerance to salicylate, O2 production capacity and ability to support salicylate degradation by a Ralstonia basilensis strain in symbiotic microcosms with the m
Despite the hegemonic status of global health governance that favors the high-income countries (HICs), global health diplomacy (GHD) as a critical tool to manage health is an understudied subject particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This research illustrates how GHD is exercised in Indonesia by exploring the actors, their capacities, and the surrounding context. The aim of the
Mobility growth poses considerable challenges to city planners around the world, as it entails problems of congestion, air pollution, and accidents. Many cities have thus sought to increase the share of sustainable transport, and specifically travel by bicycle. However, it appears that measures to foster cycling are often implemented on an ad hoc basis, lacking strategic focus and a more profound
The pathogenetic mechanisms causing esophageal dysmotility is not well understood. We examined 13 patients with solid bolus dysphagia in a radiologic barium study including the swallowing of a 14-mm tablet. In all 13 patients the tablet was caught in the proximal or midesophagus. In 8 patients, the entrapment was associated with symptoms (Group 1) whereas in 5 patients (Group 2), no symptoms were
The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim
Using primary research from majority-Western respondents in conjunction with an array of multi-disciplinary secondary literature, this thesis acts as a response to claims of the overwhelming existence of ‘placelessness’ in our modernised and globalised world. Instead, it suggests that place attachment is alive and well in the West. Furthermore this thesis suggests that place attachment can be show
The end of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development in the present year marked a scenario to evaluate the achievement made among nations. However the success of implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not equal as well the information available on the subject depens on the country. The aim of the thesis is to deliver a current status and recommendations for impr
Mexico, the second largest economy in Latin America, has almost eradicated extreme poverty according to the Millennium Development Goals; however, official statistics show that by national standards poverty levels are still quite high, reaching up to half its population. This paper looks into how the determinants of poverty in Mexico have evolved after the last major economic crisis the country ex
The aim of this study was to examine social policy strategies for elderly care, from a class perspective. The Swedish population is getting older which increases the need of elderly care. Given this situation and that research demonstrate that the number of elderly people have doubled between 2006 and 2011, and since there is a gap of knowledge of the class perspective in elderly care. I therefore
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om informationsmängden i ”VD har ordet” kan relateras till årets resultat före skatt och om informationsmängden har förändrats de senaste åren. Studien syftar också till att öka förståelsen för vilka trender som idag återfinns i den offentliga debatten, och vad som förväntas presenteras i årsredovisningarna. Med utgångspunkt i den offentliga debatten om år
Syftet med studien var att kvalitativt undersöka kvinnliga fotbollsspelares upplevelse av att nå elitnivå. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes och totalt intervjuades tre deltagare. Intervjuerna analyserades med IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) som metodologisk ansats. Totalt kunde fem teman urskiljas som centrala i upplevelsen av elitnivå: tankar och känslor kopplade till övergångThe purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the experience of reaching the elite level for women in football. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three participants. The interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In total, five themes emerged: thoughts and feelings associated with reaching the elite level, social support, gender identity, m
OBJECTIVE-To report the incidence of sight-threatening vascular lesions in type 2 diabetic subjects without retinopathy after adopting a 3-year interval screening program. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-In all, 1,691 type 2 diabetic subjects with no detectable retinopathy in two 50 degrees red-free fundus photographs were scheduled for follow-up with photography 3 years later. Age at diabetes diagnos
This paper presents a wideband CMOS power amplifier intended for cellular handset applications. The circuit exploits injection locking to achieve a power gain of 20.5dB from a single stage amplifier. The maximum output power of 29dBm, with a peak drain- and power-added-efficiency (PAE) of 66% and 64%, respectively, occurs at a center frequency of 2GHz with a 3V supply. A cross-coupled cascode topo
Three young men were trapped in a car at the bottom of a canal at two meters depth, after losing control of their vehicle. They were brought up by rescue divers and found in cardiac arrest. One of three patients had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), at 47 min after the accident. This sole survivor had the longest submersion time of the three and he received continued mechanical chest compr
The particle formation and growth events observed at a semirural background site in Denmark were analyzed based on particle number size distribution data collected during the period from February 2005 to December 2010. The new particle formation (NPF) events have been classified visually in detail according to 3D daily plots in combination with an automatic routine. A clear seasonal variation was
