This paper presents two procedures for the determination of four selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (citalopram, paroxetine, fluoxetine, and sertraline) and one metabolite (norfluoxetine) in sewage sludge utilizing three-phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction (HF-LPME). First, direct HF-LPME was used for extraction, clean-up, and preconcentration. The pharmaceuticals were extracted f

Atherosclerotic lesions are asymmetric focal thickenings of the intima of arteries that consist of lipids, various cell types and extracellular matrix (ECM). These lesions lead to vascular occlusion representing the most common cause of death in the Western world. The main cause of vascular occlusion is rupture of atheromatous lesions followed by thrombus formation. Fibronectin (FN) is one of the

We report the development of a new database of technology services and products for analysis of biobank samples in biomedical research. BARCdb, the Biobanking Analysis Resource Catalogue (http://www.barcdb.org), is a freely available web resource, listing expertise and molecular resource capabilities of research centres and biotechnology companies. The database is designed for researchers who requ

The ongoing celebritisation of society not only comprises ‘celebrity sectors’ such as entertainment and sports, but also literature. As in other cultural fields, the commodities to be sold – books – are marketed using the ‘personalities’ directly connected to them by authors appearing on television shows or being selected for feature articles. The aim of the article is to point out limitations to

Oral anticoagulation is the recommended treatment for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. Notwithstanding, many patients are treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as monotherapy. Our objective was to investigate if atrial fibrillation patients benefit from ASA as monotherapy for stroke prevention. Retrospective study of patients with a clinical diagnosis of atrial fibrillatio

Phenolic acids are secondary plant metabolites that may have protective effects against oxidative stress, inflammation and cancer in experimental studies. To date, limited data exist on the quantitative intake of phenolic acids. We estimated the intake of phenolic acids and their food sources and associated lifestyle factors in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC

Fastighetsköp utgörs oftast av stora ekonomiska värden. Därmed åläggs säljaren och köparen åtaganden för att tillgodose sina egna intressen. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka upplysningspliktens omfattning vid fel i fastigheten, specifikt då upplysningsplikten inte uttryckts i jordabalken. Vägledning har därmed behövt hämtas från förarbeten och praxis. Praxis har återgetts för att illus

På Svenska kyrkans senaste kyrkomöte lades två motioner fram kring att be- gränsa prästers rätt att vägra viga samkönade par. Det aktualiserade frågan om det för ett trossamfund är möjligt att begränsa vigselrätten för vigselför- rättare inom samfundet. Vigselrätten stadgas i 4 kap. 3 § ÄktB och i 4 kap. 3 § 2 st. ÄktB beskrivs att präster eller andra befattningshavare i trossamfund inte har någon

Övervakning av arbetstagares elektroniska kommunikation är en fråga som är högaktuell i dagens samhälle. Som följd av den tekniska utvecklingen i kombination med förändrade arbetsformer, ställs motsättningen mellan arbetsgivares intresse av kontroll och övervakning i förhållande till arbetstagares intresse av integritet på sin spets. Detta aktualiserar nya rättsliga dilemman som redogörs för i fraThe monitoring of employees’ electronic communications has become increasingly common over the last couple of years. As a result of the technological development in society in combination with changed forms of work, the contradiction between the employer’s interest in control and monitoring and the employee’s interest in privacy, has been brought into the spotlight. This actualizes new legal dilem

Allelopathy is a term first introduced by Hans Molisch in his 1937 book titled The Influence of One Plant on Another: Allelopathy and, as it stands, it is defined as the biological phenomenon through which growth, development, reproduction or survival of an organism are altered by the release of biochemicals from another. In this study, we investigate the allelochemical potential of leachates coll

Förbättrad sortering av plast på återvinningscentraler är nödvändig för omställningen till ett fossilfritt samhälle Världen står framför den kanske största utmaningen någonsin – den globala uppvärmningen. För att klara FN:s klimatmål om att begränsa temperaturökningen till under två grader krävs det att vi ställer om till ett fossilfritt samhälle. En del i att uppnå detta är att öka materialåterv

This study examines how grandiose narcissism affects the resource acquisition of aspiring entrepreneurs. The study's results help bridge a gap in the literature and provide a better understanding of the nexus between narcissism and entrepreneurial finance. By drawing on previous literature from both fields, we set out to explore the relationship between narcissism and an individual’s preferenc

Deforestation and forest degradation is an environmental phenomenon affecting the entire world. In 2021 the EU Commission proposed a Regulation on Deforestation-free Products, which is expected to repeal the EU Timber Regulation in 2023. This study analyzes two of the previous legal policies implemented by the EU to curb deforestation: the FLEGT Action Plan and the EU Timber Regulation. The method
