Phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra (103.2 MHz) were obtained from rabbit portal vein, urinary bladder, and taenia coli smooth muscle. The muscles were mounted isometrically as strips in a horizontal probe and superfused with oxygenated medium at 23 degrees C. Under these conditions the preparations could remain in a stable metabolic state for at least 24 h. The resonances obser
1. To improve mechanistic understanding of plankton responses to eutrophication, a mesocosm experiment was performed in the shallow littoral zone of a south Swedish lake, in which nutrient and fish gradients were crossed in a fully factorial design. 2. Food chain theory accurately predicted total biomass development of both phyto- and zooplankton. However, separating zooplankton and algae into fin
INTRODUCTION: This article describes the views of European rural general practitioners regarding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of the implementation of a chronic care model (CCM) in European rural primary care. METHODS: This was a mixed-methods online survey. Data were collected from 227 general practitioners between May and December 2017. Categorical data were analys
Micellization brought about by nonclassical hydrophobic effect invokes enthalpy as the driving force. Thus, the underlying molecular phenomena differ from the entropically dominated hydrophobic effect. In quest for a molecular-scale understanding, we report on the molecular arrangement of nonamphiphilic structures of an anionic boron cluster compound, COSAN. We synergistically combine experimental
Proteolytic cleavage of the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) by calpains impairs calcium homeostasis, leading to a delayed calcium overload and excitotoxic cell death. However, it is not known whether reversal of the exchanger contributes to activate calpains and trigger neuronal death. We investigated the role of the reversal of the NCX in Ca2+ dynamics, calpain activation and cell viability, in alpha-am
Within an envisioned circular bio-based economy, a key component is the valorization of biomass wastes and residues into valuable products. If the commonly used method of life-cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to such products, an update and adaptation of LCA practice is needed regarding potentially outdated assumptions of residual resources as free from environmental impact. This paper therefore
Rum för kontemplation. En plats för eftertanke och stillhet. Vi lever i en värld som går snabbare och snabbare. En urban värld där vi är ständigt uppkopplade, ett prestationssamhälle där ett behov för kontemplation glöms bort. Vilka rum vänder vi oss till för stillhet i vardagen och hur ser egentligen ett rum för kontemplation ut? Arbetet tar avstamp i frågeställningen: “Vilka egenskaper känneteckSpace for contemplation. A place for afterthought and reflection. We live in a world that spins faster and faster. A universe full of impressions, information and experiences are effecting our stress level in a bad way, and our need for quietness and contemplation is forgotten. Where do we go for a minute in silence and serenity? The work has its starting point in the questions: “Which qualities b
Principen om avtalsfrihet är en sedan länge befäst princip som utgör en huvudregel inom den allmänna avtalsrätten. Principen vinner starkt stöd från liberalistiskt håll och fick ett uppsving under den liberalistiska eran medan det från socialistiskt håll sedermera väckts en oro kring att sämre ställda parter kan tänkas hamna i kläm av en absolut avtalsfrihet. Det har nu visat sig att det råder oliThe freedom of contract-principle has been a standard rule within the general contract law for quite some time. The principle was strongly supported by the liberals’ point of view and its importance grew during the liberalistic era. In contrast, socialists were concerned that weaker parties would come to be mistreated by an absolute form of freedom of contract. It is now known that the parties of
The purpose of this study has been to explore how different actors in a nursing home (i.e. Head of Unit, staff and residents) argue about elder residents’ care, autonomy and possibilities to influence and how this correlate with the increasing tendencies to view elder people as independent individuals. The study was based on eight qualitative interviews with two Heads of Unit, two staff members an
The aim of this study was to explore how social service workers discuss digitization and its impact on their role as professionals. This was done to obtain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that a digitization might entail. We have taken a qualitative approach to our study by interviewing eight social service workers, in two organizationally different social service office
Behövs kemiska bekämpningsmedel inom jordbruket? I Sverige finns ekologiska jordbruk, detta betyder bland annat att kemiska bekämpningsmedel inte används för att bespruta grödorna inom dessa jordbruk. Ekologiska lantbrukare använder sig istället av biologisk kontroll, vilket betyder att naturliga rovdjur till skadeinsekter introduceras i jordbrukslandskapet för att äta skadeinsekterna. För att un
This thesis work is an academic study investigating how to transform and re-purpose the abandoned hydroelectric powerplant, Hästbergadammen. The powerplant has been abandoned since the dam collapsed in 2010, and the case of rebuilding it has been in the Land and Environment Court since 2016. The thesis proposes a new purpose for the site. It suggests giving back a public monumental place where t
This paper examines the state of public transportation in the swedish county of Scania during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through travel statistics from the agency that runs the county’s transit network (Skånetrafiken) it is concluded that travel numbers have decreased dramatically during the pandemic. Two employees at Skånetrafiken are interviewed and asked about what measures the agency has taken dur
Global concerns about climate changes and their association with the use of fossil fuels have accelerated research on biological fuel production. Biological hydrogen production from hemicellulose-containing waste is considered one of the promising avenues. A major economical issue for such a process, however, is the low substrate conversion efficiency. Interestingly, the extreme thermophilic bacte
The aim of this research is to create an understanding for the motivation to include conditional clauses regarding foreign countries in domestic green house gas (GHG) abatement legislation. In addition I aim to explain how these clauses change the strategic environment, in an interaction with the purpose to reach an international environmental agreement (IEA) to combat global warming. I chose this
The issue of riba, that is, interest/the “excess” or “surplus” on loans is crucial for both Islamic and non-Islamic countries. Western economic systems use interest to distribute financial resources efficiently for investment and/or consumption, while Islamic economies pursue a completely different strategy for financing loans, which adheres to Islamic laws and prohibits the activities of conventi

Prisons encourage criminal activity and have negative impacts on sentenced individuals according to studies. Meanwhile the three largest political parties in Sweden work towards implementing tougher sentences. The three largest parties have in common their position on law enforcement which disputes what the research is saying and as a consequence, the objective of achieving less criminal activity
