Scarcity of in situ measurements of greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes hamper calibration and validation of continental assessments of carbon budgets in Africa. It limits essential studies of ecosystem functioning and ecosystem processes. Wide reported ranges of estimated African net primary production (NPP) and gross primary production (GPP) is a function of the uncertainty originating from this scarcit

Denne teksten presenterer en side av Marx' filosofi som ikke har fått like mye oppmerksomhet som hans kapitalismekritikk, nemlig hans kritikk av menneskerettighetene. FNs menneskerettighetserklæring regnes i dag som det viktigste dokumentet for internasjonalt samarbeid. Til sammenligning er Marx' syn at menneskerettighetene skaper egoisme og svekker kollektivets samhold. Teksten presenterer dette

Background: Media frequently report on overall work-place challenges in Swedish schools, including teachers’ working conditions, their well-being, and students’ declining results. Language is the key to success in every school subject. Therefore, optimal language learning environments are important. Poor sound environments affect teachers’ vocal health, their general well-being, and students’ perf

OBJECTIVE: Rapid and early detection of patients at risk to develop sepsis remains demanding. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) has previously demonstrated good prognostic properties in detecting organ dysfunction among patients with suspected infections. This study aimed to evaluate the plasma-levels of HBP as a prognostic biomarker for infection-induced organ dysfunction among patients seeking medic

Edward Joseph Snowden blev världsberömd när han visselblåste om USA:s statliga övervakningsprogram. Amnesty International kallade honom en hjälte som främjade mänskliga rättigheter och tvingade fram en viktig global debatt om massövervakning. Som en kontrast till detta skrev den faste skribenten i The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin, att Snowden är ”en grandios narcissist som förtjänar att sitta i fäng

Chronic inflammation is a well-known risk factor in development of intestinal tumorigenesis, although the exact mechanisms underlying development of colitis-associated cancer (CAC) still remain obscure. The activity and function of immunoproteasome has been extensively analyzed in the context of inflammation and infectious diseases. Here, we show that the proteasomal immunosubunit LMP7 plays an es

Insulin stimulates Na+,K+-ATPase activity and induces translocation of Na+,K+-ATPase molecules to the plasma membrane in skeletal muscle. We determined the molecular mechanism by which insulin regulates Na+,K+-ATPase in differentiated primary human skeletal muscle cells (HSMCs). Insulin action on Na +,K+-ATPase was dependent on ERK1/2 in HSMCs. Sequence analysis of Na+,K+-ATPase α-subunits reveale

Artikel om Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg och attentatet mot Adolf Hitler 1944 samt synen på Stauffenberg efter att han avrättats.

Proinsulin-connecting peptide (C-peptide) exerts physiological effects partially via stimulation of Na+, K+-ATPase. We determined the molecular mechanism by which C-peptide stimulates Na+,K +-ATPase in primary human renal tubular cells (HRTCs). Incubation of the cells with 5 nM human C-peptide at 37°C for 10 min stimulated 86Rb+ uptake by 40% (p

Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is a progressive metabolic disorder arising from genetic and environmental factors that impair beta cell function and insulin action in peripheral tissues. We identified reduced diacylglycerol kinase δ (DGKδ) expression and DGK activity in skeletal muscle from type 2 diabetic patients. In diabetic animals, reduced DGKδ protein and DGK kinase activit

This study aimed to compare different image-based methods for bone marrow dosimetry and study the dose–response relationship during treatment with 177Lu-DOTATATE in patients with and without skeletal metastases. Methods: This study included 46 patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors treated with at least 2 fractions of 177Lu-DOTATATE at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. High- and low-uptake co

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) results in more people with severe mental illness obtaining employment in comparison to traditional vocational rehabilitation approaches. The implementation challenges of IPS vary across countries and contexts. However, the implications for IPS delivery and thus the IPS principles have not been studied in Sweden, which this embedded case study aims to investi

Psykisk ohälsa utgör idag det främsta skälet till sjukskrivning i Sverige och involverar i hög grad arbetsplatser. I denna litteraturöversikt har vi mellan 2000−2016 undersökt dels svenska primär- och sekundärpreventiva insatser som inkluderar arbetsplatsen för att förhindra eller minska sjukskrivning på grund av vanlig psykisk sjukdom dels kartlagt hur svensk lagstiftning och policy inom rehabili

Background: Research is needed on how to optimize the return-to-work process for persons with mental health problems.Objective: To develop a model that explains how employer and rehabilitation professional mental health literacy may influence strategies used in the return-to-work of persons with mental health problems.Methods: A grounded theory study design was used to collect and analyse intervie
