Kommunerna bidrar till färre och dyrare bostäder

Genom planmonopolet har kommunerna ensamrätt om att kunna skapa byggklara tomter. Men empirin visar att kommunerna underproducerar dessa byggrätter. Det skapar en rad problem på bostadsmarknaden. Ingemar Bengtsson, lektor i fastighetsvetenskap vid Lunds universitet redogör för konsekvenserna.

Real-time measurement of pheromone release from individual female moths and synthetic dispensers in a wind tunnel by recording of single receptor-neurone responses

Measurements of single neurone activity in the peripheral pheromone receptors of male Agrotis segetum (Denis and Schiffermuller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were performed in a wind tunnel using a portable electrophysiological recording unit. Filter paper and rubber septa loaded with synthetic sex pheromone, as well as individual conspecific female glands, were used as pheromone sources. Recordings,

Reductase specificity and the ratio regulation of E/Z isomers in pheromone biosynthesis of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera Pyralidae)

Species specificity of moth sex pheromones is in many cases achieved by means of specific blends rather than by specific components. Two pheromone strains of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, use (E)- and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate in different ratios as their pheromone, but show the same ratio of the pheromone precursors (70:30 E/Z-11-tetradecenoic acid). The hypothesis that the ratio

Identification of a novel moth sex pheromone in Eriocrania cicatricella (Zett.) (Lepidoptera : Eriocraniidae) and its phylogenetic implications

Extracts from different body parts of adult female Eriocrania cicatricella (Zett.) were tested for electrophysiological activity on conspecific male antennae. Extracts from the Vth abdominal segment, containing a pair of exocrine glands, elicited the largest electroantennographic response when compared to extracts of other body parts. Female extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography with simult

Electrophysiological and chemical analysis of sex pheromone communication system of the mottled umber, Erannis defoliaria (Lepidoptera : Geometridae)

(Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9-nonadecatriene (Z3, Z6, Z9-19Hy) and (Z,Z)-3,9-cis-6,7-epoxy-nonadecadiene (Z3, Z9-cis-6,7-epo-19Hy) were identified in pheromone gland extracts from female Erannis defoliaria. The two components were found in a 1:3 ratio, with the main component, Z3, Z9-cis-6,7-epo-19Hy present at an amount of about 1.5 ng per female. The components were identified by means of gas chromatography-mas

An enhanced individual placement and support (IPS) intervention based on the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO); a prospective cohort study

Background: Employment is good for physical and mental health, however people with severe mental illness (SMI) are often excluded from employment. Standard Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is effective in supporting around 55% of people with SMI into employment or education. Current research considers enhancements to IPS to improve outcomes for those requiring more complex interventions. Cli

Subjective and Objective Characteristics of Patients Seen at a Psychodermatology Unit : One-year Experience in Malmö, Sweden

Clinical epidemiological knowledge concerning psychodermatology patients is scarce. The objective of this study was to assess morbidity in a new psychodermatology service. Information was gathered from patient records at the psychodermatology unit in Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden, from 1 February 2017 to 31 January 2018. All patients were screened with the Hospital Anxiety and Depressio

Five Centuries of Inequality and Socioeconomic Transformation in the Barcelona Area, 1451 – 1880

Unequal distribution of wealth is a matter of growing concern in contemporary society, but it is also one with deep roots in the past. Several authors have traced the origins of this inequality by reconstructing historical series and collecting and harmonising data from sources and records with uneven territorial and temporal cover (Milanovic et al. (2011), Alfani (2015) Piketty (2014 and 2020)).

Serine proteases and protease-activated receptor 2 mediate the proinflammatory and algesic actions of diverse stimulants

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although serine proteases and agonists of protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) cause inflammation and pain, the spectrum of proteases that are activated by proinflammatory and algesic stimuli and their contribution to inflammatory pain are uncertain.EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Enzymic assays and selective inhibitors were used to characterize protease activity in mice after intra

Expression, purification, and characterization of histidine-tagged rat and human flavoenzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase

Mitochondrially bound dihydroorotate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, EC 1.3.99.11) catalyzes the fourth sequential step in the de novo synthesis of uridine monophosphate. Based on the recent functional expression of the complete rat dihydroorotate dehydrogenase by means of the baculovirus expression vector system in Trichoplusia ni cells, a procedure is described that allo

Correlation between dendrite diameter and action potential amplitude in sex pheromone specific receptor neurons in male Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Outer dendritic segments of olfactory receptor neurons tuned to sex pheromone components were measured morphometrically on the antenna of male European corn borers. Ostrinia nubilalis, to determine if a correlation exists between the diameter of the outer dendritic segment and the spike amplitude. The olfactory sensilla investigated each contained three receptor cells. Two cells were each specific

Polarimetric Wireless Indoor Channel Modeling Based on Propagation Graph

This paper generalizes a propagation graph model to polarized indoor wireless channels. In the original contribution, the channel is modeled as a propagation graph in which vertices represent transmitters, receivers, and scatterers, while edges represent the propagation conditions between vertices. Each edge is characterized by an edge transfer function accounting for the attenuation, delay spread

Occupational exposures as risk factors for oral cancer evaluated in a Swedish case-control study.

In a case-control study with 410 cases and 410 matched controls from the period 1980-1989 we investigated the role of occupations and occupational exposures as risk factors for squamous cell oral cancer. All subjects received a questionnaire. The response rates were 96% and 91% for cases and controls, respectively. A significantly increased risk was found for pulp industry workers, odds ratio (OR)

More than 40% of Dutch women are not financially independent. Tax incentives for single earning families encourage this dependence. In this essay in the Dutch financial newspaper Sigrid Hemels argues that it does not make sense to keep such incentives in times as ours in which 40% of all marriages ends in divorce and in which we are faced with increased cost and a reduced workforce due to the agei

Luminescence and vacuum ultraviolet excitation spectroscopy of samarium doped SrB4O7

Sm2+ and Sm3+ co-doped SrB4O7 could be utilized in several high-level optical devices and fundamental knowledge about the optical behavior of these materials benefits the development of luminescent applications. Herein, we report luminescence and its vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) excitation spectra in samarium doped SrB4O7. Both, Sm2+ and Sm3+ luminescence centers have been examined and distinguished i

Systemic necrotizing vasculitides in severe alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency

We describe the clinical presentation and outcome in a series of eight patients with systemic necrotizing vasculitis and severe alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency followed up at three Swedish hospitals during 1968-92. We also review six other cases reported in the literature during the same period. Diagnosis of severe AAT deficiency was based on the presence of the PiZZ phenotype, or low plasma t
