Introduction: This study aimed to understand the influence of diet and nutrition items on gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with Hirschsprung Disease (HD). Method: An online questionnaire was created to obtain patient-reported outcomes using the multinational Holistic Care in Hirschsprung Disease Network. This was distributed in Dutch, English, German, Italian, Polish, and Swedish via patient
Preferential pathways are crucial channels for water and solute infiltration. To better investigate the features of flow pathways in forest soils, multi-tracer (Brilliant Blue and NaBr) experiments were conducted in pure forests dominated by Quercus variabilis BI., and Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco., respectively. Additionally, the total infiltration depth of 40 mm was selected. In the soil l

Loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) from farmland is a key threat to the capacity of soils to provide ecosystem services and exacerbates climate change. In alignment with a published protocol, we conducted a review and meta-analysis of time series of SOC measurements in long-term agricultural experiments to study absolute SOC changes under different agricultural management regimes. Our results show
The subject of this research is the application of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) in identifying, monitoring, and analyzing wildfires in the Sana River basin in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2017. The research aims to determine the weather conditions that favor the occurrence of wildfires and their spatial impact on vegetation and to assess the degree of land degradation after
Background and aim: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in the intestines activates leukocytes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Rosehips have a high content of polyphenols and might prevent lipid peroxidation. Some Lactobacillus species are capable of degrading polyphenols to simpler and non-toxic constituents, sometimes with enhanced antioxidative capacity.
During the 20th century, a number of actors and institutions set out to develop taxonomies of the Swedish population. This thesis examines the most important social classification system, the social group, which despite its great importance in administrative, scientific, commercial, political and media contexts has received little attention in historical research. Invented by the Central Bureau
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Rassepautasjtjåkka är ett litet bergsmassiv beläget i norra Lappland. I massivet återfinns fyra stora nischer strax under glaciationsgränsen. Dessa nischer har en gång blivit uteroderade av glaciärer, men idag återfinns endast perenna snölegor i området. Skillnaden mellan en glaciär och en perenn snölega är att en glaciär har intern rörelse. En tjocklek på cirkaSince the mid 1970s the general retreating trend for glacier in Scandinavian have ceased and some glaciers have even started to advance. This is due to a more maritime influence on the climate, which means increased precipitation in winter and lower summer temperature. A more maritime climate can be said to be favourable for glacier growth. Under such climate conditions is it possible that new gla
Mycolial uptake, translocation and assimilation of 15N-labelled ammonium was followed in Pinus sylvestris plants infected with the ectomycorrhizal fungus. Paxillus involutus. The distribution of labelled compounds within the systems was examined using gas chromatography / mass spectrometry. Labelled nitrogen was incorporated into a range of free amino acids in the fungal mycelium, the principal si
Severe unrestrained behaviors during armed conflicts, such as the massacre in My Lai or abusive transgressions such as the torture-like behaviors occurring in Abu-Ghraib prison, often lead to increased difficulties to decrease hostilities or to gain a peaceful ending to a military conflict. Therefore, it is of highest relevance to understand which individual, situational and organizational facto
The description of ultrafast nonadiabatic chemical dynamics during molecular photo-transformations remains challenging because electronic and nuclear configurations impact each other and cannot be treated independently. Here we gain experimental insights, beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, into the light-induced spin-state trapping dynamics of the prototypical [Fe(bpy) 3 ] 2+ compound by t
Objective: Apart from improved health outcomes, treatment convenience per se may have a value to individuals. This is sometimes referred to as process utility and can be estimated in terms of willingness-to-pay (WTP) or quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Previous research has produced multiple studies on QALY gains and WTP estimates of insulin-related attributes. There are, however, significant
The German bread market is considered one of the most developed and diverse bread markets worldwide. However, until so far no empirical evidence exists with respect to consumers liking and willingness to pay for different value-added attributes in whole grain bread. Thus, our study is the first one providing empirical evidence on how German consumers perceive different value-added attributes in wh
Flame structures, blowout limits and emissions of swirlstabilized premixed methane-air flames were studied experimentally in a small atmospheric combustor rig. Combustion sections with rectangular cross section (30mm by 40mm) and circular cross section (inner diameter = 39mm) were used to investigate effects of combustor geometry on the flame's performance. Flame structures and instabilities were
The prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Frequent episodes of elevated postprandial blood glucose have been associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and the importance of a tight glycaemic control has been identified as an important factor to maintain health and prevent T2DM, obesity and cardiovascuThe prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world.

Purpose: The satiating effect of animal vs plant proteins remains unknown. The present study examined the effects of breakfasts containing animal proteins [milk (AP)], a blend of plant proteins [oat, pea and potato (VP)] or 50:50 mixture of the two (MP) compared with a carbohydrate-rich meal (CHO) on appetite, energy intake (EI) and metabolic measures. Methods: A total of 28 males [mean age 27.4 (
