Though new goals for sustainable cities and transport systems have been developed, decisions and planning at a local level often fail to achieve these ambitions. The purpose of this article is to analyse the factors in local decision-making and planning practice that conduce to urban sprawl and increased car traffic. The article analyses how the conscious application of so-called "day-to-day decis

Background: Increased fucosylation of serum,glycoproteins has previously been reported in patients with liver disease. We analyzed alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) fucosylation in serum samples from patients investigated for suspected liver disease to evaluate its value as a biochemical marker for liver cirrhosis. Methods: We used a novel lectin immunoassay adapted to the AutoDELFIA system to anal

Syftet med artikeln är att utforska och förstå beskrivningar av och information om HPV-prevention utifrån olika positioner för att fånga samhälleliga och kulturella innebörder av HPV-vaccin. Två skolsköterskor intervjuades om sitt arbete med HPV-vaccinering, mediematerial om HPV-vaccin hämtades från Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet och Sydsvenskans online-arkiv och informationsmaterial hämtades f

The volume encompasses six conferences of Romanian academics (from Bratislava, Skopje, Bucharest, Iași and Alba Iulia) invited to Lund to hold conferences in English and French as part of Romanian language and literature research seminar series in the interval September 2015 – March 2017 on various topics: linguistics and etymology, literary world’s specificities, contemporary Romanian literature,

The use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in the treatment of certain types of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) has been the topic of much debate and disagreement over the last several decades. In this review, the evidence for its use is presented and discussed by two experts in DFU management. Whereas some randomized controlled trials suggest that HBO may speed the healing of certain ischaemic or neur

As sales of e-bikes increase, so does the need for reliable evaluations of which means of transport the e-bike replaces, what we call the substitution effect. A randomised controlled trial with GPS data from 98 frequent drivers in Sweden was conducted to investigate the effect of the e-bike on modal choice, the number of trips, distance, as well as perceptions of the e-bike as a substitute for the

The text sheds light on the actions and on the role of the priest of the German Church in Malmö, Herbert Kühn (1898-1977), in the time from 1930-1946. The analysis proceeds in three steps. The first part shows how Kühn manages to provide a sustainable foundation for the young and insecure German parish and how he becomes the NSDAP's most important representative in Malmö. The second part traces ho

MuscleAtlasExplorer is a freely available web application that allows for the exploration of gene expression data from human skeletal muscle. It draws from an extensive publicly available dataset of 1654 skeletal muscle expression microarray samples. Detailed, manually curated, patient phenotype data, with information such as age, sex, BMI and disease status, are combined with skeletal muscle gene

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that serves as a ubiquitous signaling molecule participating in physiological activities of various organ systems. Nitric oxide is produced in the endocrine pancreas and contributes to synthesis and secretion of insulin. The potential role of NO in insulin secretion is disputable – both stimulatory and inhibitory effects have been reported. Available data indicate that e

BACKGROUND: The comparative efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in older patients with myocardial infarction (MI) has received limited study. METHODS: We performed an observational analysis of all patients ≥80 years (n=14 005) who were discharged alive with aspirin combined with either clopidogrel (60.2%) or ticagrelor (39.8%) after a MI between 2010 and 2017 registered in the nat

The Common European Framework of Reference has stimulated research on the relation between linguistic competence and communicative competence. Such studies have often used linguistic measures from the Complexity-Accuracy-Fluency (CAF) paradigm to objectively tap into the linguistic competence of language learners; others have used Processability Theory. This study contributes to this research by m
