The installation of technical solutions for heat recovery from the ventilation air is a very important step, both with respect to improving the indoor climate and as an energy-saving measure. Ventilation without heat recovery use a substantial part of an entire building's heating use, especially if the building is a low energy building. To realize a large implementation of heat recovery property o

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore and analyse how young people conceptualise online traces of search and what strategies they have for dealing with them. Design/methodology/approach: The topic was investigated through a qualitative and ethnographic approach. Interviews, go-alongs and observations in schools were carried out with nine participants in Sweden. Findings: The findings sh

Globalization has increased in recent decades, resulting in structural changes of production and labor demand. This paper examines how the increased global engagement of firms affects the structure of the workforce. We find that the aggregate distribution of occupations in Sweden has become more skilled between 1997 and 2013. Moreover, firms with a high degree of international orientation have a r

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and there are currently limited treatment options for these patients. The disease is characterized by a reduction in airflow due to chronic bronchitis, as well as airspace enlargement in the distal lung, resulting in a loss of surface area available for gas exchange. At end-stage disease, oxygen therapy an

The development of the intraovarian adrenergic nervous system was investigated in the guinea-pig by use of chemical determination of catecholamines with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and with the formaldehyde-induced fluorescence method for visualization of adrenergic nerves (Falck-Hillarp technique). Ovaries from fetuses (39-40, 45-50, 55-57, 60-63 days of gestation) and young ani

The autonomic nerve supply of the guinea-pig ovary was investigated by a combination of light- and electron microscopy. At the light-microscopic level, adrenergic fibres were identified due to their formaldehyde-induced fluorescence. In addition, the ovary contained acetylcholinesterase-positive fibres. In all parts of the ovary, the adrenergic fibres were most numerous. At the ultrastructural lev

Immature female rats were primed with 4 i.u. PMSG at 08:00 h of Day 26. This results in ovulation in the morning of Day 29. The number of ovulations was counted in terms of newly formed corpora lutea in the morning of Day 30. Various adrenergic drugs were delivered into the ovarian bursa bilaterally in the afternoon of Day 27 to study their effect on ovulation. A methyl cellulose gel solution was

Nerves containing noradrenaline were studied by formaldehyde-induced fluorescence and neuropeptide Y (NPY) was visualised by immunohistochemistry in the human ovary, Fallopian tube and uterus. All structures were richly supplied with noradrenergic fibres closely associated with the vascular and non-vascular smooth musculature. NPY-containing nerve terminals were consistently fewer, particularly in

1. The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on contraction and release of [3H]-noradrenaline were investigated in vitro in bovine ovarian follicle strips. Using available selective agonists and antagonists, an effort was made to characterize the type of receptor mediating the inhibitory effect of 5-HT on neurogenic contraction and release of [3H]-noradrenaline by electrical field stimulation. 2.

The immunocytochemical distribution of substance P (SP), gastrin releasing peptide (GRP), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), peptide histidine isoleucine (PHI), and neuropeptide Y (NPY) was studied in the ovary and the Fallopian tube (oviduct) of rats, guinea-pigs, cows, pigs and humans. Generally, the nerve supply was better developed in the oviduct than in the ovary. GRP fibers were most s

The motor effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on the bovine ovarian follicle were studied in vitro using strips from follicle walls. Electrical field stimulation of nerves in the preparation, secured by tetrodotoxin blockade, caused a contraction that was almost totally abolished by phentolamine and only slightly affected by atropine. This mainly adrenergic neurogenic response was inhibited

The histaminergic effect on electrically induced contractions and tritium release was studied in vitro, using strips from the wall of mature bovine ovarian follicles. Follicular fluid and blood plasma from the animals were analysed for electrolyte, bicarbonate, glucose and total protein concentrations in order to compare them with the concentrations of these components in the Krebs-Ringer solution

The effect of histamine on progesterone synthesis and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) accumulation was studied in superfused and incubated follicles dissected free from immature rats treated with pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG). Histamine, like LH, increased the progesterone synthesis, but to a smaller extent. The H2-antagonist, cimetidine, inhibited completely the histamine-i

When interpreting a natural language argument that generalizes over a contextually relevant category, audiences are likely to activate the category prototype and transfer its characteristics onto category instances. A generalized argument can thus appear more (respectively less) persuasive than one mentioning a specific category instance, provided the argument’s claim is more (less) warranted for

This article brings the concept of kinning from anthropology and the sociology of adoption and care work to the study of disaster response and migration. It looks at intimate relationships between the Chernobyl children from Belarus and host families in Italy within the humanitarian programme of child recuperation abroad and argues that these relationships can be understood as kinning. Kinning imp

Real-time monitoring of patient’s blood metabolites, such as glucose and lactate, could potentially improve surgery and recovery outcomes for patients in surgical and intensive care units. Our enzyme thermometric biosensor which is based on flow injected calorimetric determination of immobilized enzyme reaction is capable of performing continuous, fast, and quantitative analysis of metabolites usi

In this study, the effect of pH (3–8), ionic strength (I, 0.01–1 M), protein particle concentration (C, 0.5%–2%), and dispersed phase volume fraction (Φ, 0.25–0.8) on the efficacy of hordein-based colloidal nanoparticles in the stabilization of Pickering structures was investigated. Colloidal particles were synthesized via anti-solvent method. Depending on pH and I, the average size and zeta-poten
