Large carnivore populations, such as wolf (Canis lupus) and brown bear (Ursus arctos), have during the last decades increased in Scandinavia. This has led to an intensified debate about the presence of large carnivores as well as about large carnivore policy and management. To some people large carnivores are associated with positive feelings such as interest and joy. To others the presence of lar

The marketing materials of remote eye-trackers suggest that data quality is invariant to the position and orientation of the participant as long as the eyes of the participant are within the eye-tracker's headbox, the area where tracking is possible. As such, remote eye-trackers are marketed as allowing the reliable recording of gaze from participant groups that cannot be restrained, such as infan

Den kände astronomen Tycho Brahe initierade meteorologiska observationer på ön Ven som noterades i endagbok, nästan oavbrutet från oktober 1582 till april 1597. Fastän observationerna huvudsakligen är kvalitativapå grund av dåtida brist på instrument och metoder kan en stor mängd användbar information erhållas fråndagboken beträffande molntäcke, nederbörd, vindhastighet och riktning, temperaturför

OBJECTIVES: We used findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 to report the burden of musculoskeletal disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR).METHODS: The burden of musculoskeletal disorders was calculated for the EMR's 22 countries between 1990 and 2013. A systematic analysis was performed on mortality and morbidity data to estimate prevalence, death, years of live lost, y

The bromide anation of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− has been studied at 25 °C and the chloride anations of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− and PtBr5H2O− at 50 °C. These reactions proceed via halide assisted mechanisms, compatible with the experimental rate laws determined. The bromide anation of tr-PtBr4CIH2O− studied at 50 °C gives PtBr5Cl2− via a bromide assisted path and PtBr62− via an REOA-path. The observed rate law is detThe bromide anation of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− has been studied at 25 °C and the chloride anations of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− and PtBr5H2O− at 50 °C.

The rate constants for the chloride and bromide anations of Pd(H2O)42+, the chloride anations of PdCl3H2O−, the bromide anation of PdBr3H2O− and the acid hydrolysis of PdCl(H2O)3+, PdBr(H2O)3+, PdCl42−, and PdBr42− have been determined at 15, 25 and 35 °C using a stopped-flow technique. The ionic strength was 1.00 M and the supporting electrolyte perchloric acid. The obtained rate constants and thThe rate constants for the chloride and bromide anations of Pd(H2O)42+, the chloride anations of PdCl3H2O−, the bromide anation of PdBr3H2O− and the acid hydrolysis of PdCl(H2O)3+, PdBr(H2O)3+, PdCl42−, and PdBr42− have been determined at 15, 25 and 35 °C using a stopped-flow technique.

The implementation of an enhanced modelling approach for fibre-reinforced composites is presented which may, in addition to the directional dependency induced by the fibres, allow the capturing of the fibre-bending stiffness. The theoretical framework is based on the introduction of higher-order gradients of the motion function as additional arguments of the energy function such that size effects

Today, we can see a trend toward increased psychosocial strain at work among home-care managers and staff. The aim of this study is to describe home care managers' views on their own psychosocial working conditions and on how to promote workplace health and safety in a municipality in northern Sweden. A mixed-methods design was used, including questionnaire and qualitative focus group data. The qu

Background: Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) is an indolent disease stage, considered to represent the transition phase from the premalignant MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance) state towards symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM). Even though this diagnosis provides an opportunity for early intervention, few treatment studies have been done and the current standard of care is ob

Context. High resolution stellar spectral atlases are valuable resources to astronomy. They are rare in the 1-5 μm region for historical reasons, but once available, high resolution atlases in this part of the spectrum will aid the study of a wide range of astrophysical phenomena. Aims. The aim of the CRIRES-POP project is to produce a high resolution near-infrared spectral library of stars across

An increasing number of patients are successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest (CA) and subsequently treated in an intensive care unit due to unconsciousness. Approximately half of these patients will die during the first weeks postarrest, typically after a determination of a poor neurologic prognosis and a decision to withdraw life-sustaining therapy (WLST). These decisions are guided by univ

The X-ray structure of the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin H (SEH) has been determined at 1.69 Å resolution. In this paper we present two structures of zinc-free SEH (apoSEH) and one zinc-loaded form of SEH (ZnSEH). SEH exhibits the conventional superantigen (SAg) fold with two characteristic domains. In ZnSEH one zinc ion per SEH molecule is bound to the C-terminal β-sheet in the region i
