Beyond the Pale (Ale) : An exploration of the sustainability priorities and innovative measures in the craft beer sector

The aim of the research presented in this exploratory paper is to present the sustainability priorities and measures focused on by craft beer SMEs and to highlight a number of innovative measures pursued by brewers to promote sustainability. The materials and methods for the study included an Internet survey of craft breweries with a sustainability profile, followed by an in-depth analysis of 70 s

Surgical Education Assessment of simulators for training and selection of trainees

BackgroundApproximately 15 % of surgical patients in hospital are affected of an adverse event, which is a medical errorcaused by the health care system. Laparoscopy is the preferred surgical technique in common procedures.Societal changes with shorter working hours, patient safety and ethics demand optimisation of resources toachieve the goal of educating competent surgeons within a reasonable tiBackgroundApproximately 15 % of surgical patients in hospital are affected of an adverse event, which is a medical error caused by the health care system.

Population-Level Analysis to Determine Parameters That Drive Variation in the Plasma Metabolite Profiles

The plasma metabolome is associated with multiple phenotypes and diseases. However, a systematic study investigating clinical determinants that control the metabolome has not yet been conducted. In the present study, therefore, we aimed to identify the major determinants of the plasma metabolite profile. We used ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled to quadrupole time of fli

Efficient mm-Wave Transmitter Design in CMOS Technology

An increasing demand of higher data rates in wireless communication forces the industry to look to higher frequencies to find the required bandwidths. This thesis is about analog transmitters in CMOS for millimeter-wave communication, and it focuses on improving power amplifiers and frequency generation circuits, and increase their efficiency. This thesis starts with an introduction to millimeter-

Influence of personality traits on nueropsychological test performance in toxic encephalopathy cases and healthy referent subjects

The relationship between personality traits and cognitive performance was studied in two groups: men with symptoms and neuropsychological test results compatible with toxic encephalopathy (TE) and demographically similar healthy men (N=57 per group). Personality traits were assessed with the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). The neuropsychological examination included 13 tests covering vario

In vivo measurements of lead in fingerbone in active and retired lead smelters

Object. The aim of this study was to determine the bone lead concentration in lead smelters and reference subjects, relate them to the lead concentration in blood (B-Pb) and urine (U-Pb), and to use the measured bone lead to calculate a biological half-life for lead in bone. Method and design. The lead concentration in the second phalanx of the left index finger (bone-Pb) was determined in vivo us

Solvent-induced toxic encephalopathy : Electrophysiological data in relation to neuropsychological findings

Male subjects with type 2A (n = 12) and 2B (n = 12) solvent-induced toxic encephalopathy and a reference group of healthy men (n = 12) without previous solvent exposure were studied using quantitative EEG and event- related potentials from an odd-ball and a dual-task paradigm. Subjects with toxic encephalopathy of types 2A and 2B showed markedly lower P300 amplitudes than did controls in both para

A neurobehavioural study of long-term occupational inorganic lead exposure

A group of 38 male workers at a secondary smelter (period of employment 2-35 years; median 10 years) was divided into two subgroups depending on bone-lead concentration, arranged as 19 matched pairs according to age, education and job level. The median concentrations for finger-bone lead (Bone-Pb) were 16 vs. 32 μg/g; for current blood-lead (B-Pb), 1.6 vs. 1.8 μmol/l; for retrospective peak blood-

När spåren förskräcker. Visualiseringar av gränssättande händelser

Artikel om möten mellan historia och konst, framför allt med fokus på såväl nationella, triumfatoriska och monumentala historier som traumatiska historier som har tolkats konstnärligt med referenser till bland annat historiemåleri och monument. Texten är skriven i anslutning till utställningen Memory Matters på Skissernas museum i Lund.
