Background: Allergic contact dermatitis caused by leather is common, and several responsible allergens, such as tanning agents, glues, mercaptobenzothiazole derivatives, and dyes, but also antimicrobials and antifungals, are involved. Material and methods: Three female patients were referred to the Departments of Dermatology in a Belgian university hospital following skin reactions caused by leath

Den pågående klimatförändringen påverkar redan jordens arter och ekosystem på land, i sjöar, vid kusterna och i haven. Den påverkar enskilda arters utbredning och beteende, vilket i sin tur leder till förändringar i den biologiska mångfalden. Även om andra hot mot den biologiska mångfalden hittills dominerat, kommer effekterna på arter och ekosystem att öka med tilltagande klimatförändring med svå

The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM), an instrument comprising five dimensions devised by Russell and co-workers to measure gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP) or brain damage, enables changes in performance status to be evaluated after therapy or when monitored over time. We analysed its inter-rater and intra-rater reliability on the three most difficult dimensions. A vid

This chapter describes a SIDA (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) and later Linnaeus Palme project that in the years 2008-2016 aimed to start a Music Education Department at a Music Conservatoire in Vietnam derived from the renovation of curriculums for music in schools. It discusses the questions concerning traditional music in a school context by addressing how higher educatio

Spider silks combine basic amino acids into strong and versatile fibers where the quality of the elastomer is attributed to the interaction of highly adapted protein motifs with a complex spinning process. The evaluation, however, of the interaction has remained elusive. Here, we present a novel analysis to study silk formation by examining the secondary structures of silk proteins in solution. Us

We present the first structural determination of the Pt2(P 2O5H2)44- anion in solution by analyzing the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectrum of the Pt LIII edge. The data could be fit with a simple model involving single and multiple scattering paths to near and far P-atoms, bridging O-atoms, and the other Pt-atom in the binuclear complex. A Pt-Pt distance of 2.876(28) Å and a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodkärlen har till uppgift att distribuera syre och näring till kroppens alla celler, samt att borttransportera slaggprodukter som sedan bildas efter nyttjandet. Dessutom förmedlas en rad signalsubstanser till kroppens vävnader via blodcirkulationen. Eftersom mängden cirkulerande blod är begränsad är det viktigt att blodkärlen, bestående av artärer som för blodet från This thesis aims at characterizing the endothelin (ET) receptors in different vascular beds of man and rat. The ET-A receptor was shown to be the only contractile ET receptor present in all vascular regions, with the exception of the rat mesenteric vein where a weak ET-B receptor-mediated contraction was seen. Treatment with antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to the ET-A receptor mRNA during organ cu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människan har under mycket lång tid använt enzymer vid tillverkning av livsmedel, bland annat vid syrning av mjölk, jäsning av bröd och bryggning av öl och vin. Man använde sig då av hela levande organismer och först på slutet av 1800-talet kunde den aktiva substansen isoleras. Dessa aktiva substanser fick samlingsnamnet enzym, vilket kommer från grekiska och betyder "iThe influence of different reaction parameters on enzyme selectivity was investigated. The reaction conditions studied were solvent dependence, water activity and reaction temperature. The improved selectivity was observed as higher synthetic yields in a-chymotrypsin and subtilisin catalyzed peptide synthesis respectively, and as higher enantioselectivity in the asymmetric reduction of ketones cat

Ethnography of Archaeology is a new but fast growing field of interest and approach, investigating the practice and materiality of professional archaeology. Often the focus is on archaeological fieldwork, as the present volume illustrates. This contribution addresses the question of what kind of experience project members have on an archaeological excavation project. Besides the way a project can
