Starch is the main polysaccharide in the human diet and is the major calory supplier. The digestibility of starch can be controlled by processing conditions, which produce the rearrangement of the polymer's multi-scale structure and interactions with other components in the food matrix. The interest in consuming functional foods with polyphenols is linked to the pursuit of overall well-being. Stil

Klimatförändringarna tvingar miljontals människor världen över att lämna sina hem, men det juridiska skyddet för dem som flyr miljörelaterade kriser är fortfarande otydligt och fragmenterat. 1951 års flyktingkonvention erbjuder viktiga skydd för personer som flyr förföljelse, men omfattar inte individer som fördrivs av klimatförändringar, vilket skapar betydande luckor i den internationella rättenClimate change is displacing millions globally, yet legal protections for those fleeing environmental crises remain unclear and fragmented. The 1951 Refugee Convention offers critical safeguards for those fleeing persecution but excludes individuals displaced by climate change, leaving significant gaps in international law. This raises pressing questions: How can international law address the chal

I juli 2024 lämnade Utredningen om påföljder, återfall och verkställighet sitt betänkande, SOU 2024:48, vari ett förslag är att införa en preventivt inriktad tidsobestämd frihetsberövande påföljd, så kallat säkerhetsstraff. Syftet med förslaget är att i särskilt allvarliga situationer, när påföljden inte kan bestämmas till fängelse på livstid eller rättspsykiatrisk vård, ändå kunna frihetsberöva eIn July 2024, the Inquiry on Sanctions, Recidivism, and Enforcement submit-ted its report, SOU 2024:48, which includes a proposal to introduce a preventively oriented, indefinite deprivation of liberty as a sanction, referred to as a security sentence. The purpose of the proposal is to enable the indefinite detention of an offender in particularly serious situations, where the sanction cannot be d

Närvarodetektion som säkerhetssystem Maskinsäkerhet säkerställs ofta med klumpig och hindrande utrustning, vilket kan vara opraktiskt i många sammanhang. Genom att istället trädlöst identifiera och särskilja olika operatörer kan utrustningen avgöra om det är säkert eller ej att starta olika processer på ett smidigare sätt. För att kunna implementera den trådlösa närvarudetektionen som krävs förWireless communication encompasses a wide range of applications, demonstrating its versatility in various domains. For example, it can be utilized to enable access control through the use of tags, act as a deterrent against theft in retail settings, or support global and interstellar communication. What all of the different use cases have in common is that they work by employing radio frequency tr

Generally speaking, Computer based numerical hydrological models have been playing a very central role during the last decades in dealing with water resources related problems. Various kinds of conceptual, physical and stochastical models have been developed. Perhaps the most important contribution of those models is the ability of simplifying and schematizing a complex problem in the nature and s

Various disinfectants are examined in a study for disinfection and fresh-keeping of collected rainwater in cisterns in arid areas of China. Among the tested disinfectants (chlorine, ozone, chlorine dioxide, potassium permanganate, chloramines and hydrogen peroxide etc.), chlorine dioxide has proved to be the most feasible and effective oxidant for drinking water storage and disinfection of rainwat

Chemical characterization of the Galactic center is essential for understanding its formation and structural evolution. Trends of alpha (α) elements, such as magnesium, silicon, and calcium, serve as powerful diagnostic tools, offering insights into star formation rates and gas-infall history. However, high extinction has previously hindered such studies. In this study, we present a detailed chemi

Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of individualized developmental care interventions for promoting development and preventing morbidity in preterm infants.

Objective: To provide a protocol for a scoping review aimed to map, identify, analyze and describe studies on women and their infants receiving Midwifery Continuity of Care in the Nordic countries. AbstractIntroduction: Midwifery Continuity of Care (MCoC) throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postnatal period has been associated with improved outcomes and higher satisfaction of care among women. In

Despite advancements in multiple myeloma treatment, prognostic variability persists. We investigated the impact of income and education on treatment and survival in a country with publicly funded healthcare. We analysed data from the Swedish Myeloma Registry (2008–2021) linked to national registers. Cox models assessed survival, adjusting for demographics and comorbidities. Treatment patterns were

This work presents a statistical approach for estimating and analyzing the downward transport pattern and distribution of soil water by the use of pattern analysis of space-time correlation structures. This approach, called the Space-time Correlation Field, is mainly based on the analyses of correlation functions simultaneously in the space and time domain.The overall purpose of this work is to de

Background: The Cardiovascular Outcomes for People Using Anticoagulation Strategies (COMPASS) trial enrolled patients with vascular disease but excluded patients requiring oral anticoagulation. Objective: We aimed to explore the clinical significance of a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) during follow-up. Methods: New AF was identified from hospitalization, study drug discontinuation, and

This paper examines the linguistic relativity principle (Whorf, 1956) by investigating the impact of grammatical gender on cognition in simultaneous bilinguals of three-gendered Ukrainian and Russian. It examines whether speakers of three-gendered languages show grammatical gender effects on categorisation, empirically addressing claims that such effects are insignificant due to the presence of th

INTRODUCTION: The Alzheimer's Association Global Biomarker Standardization Consortium conducted a blinded case–control study to learn which phosphorylated tau (p-tau) assays provide the largest fold-changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) versus non-AD and show commutability in measuring patient samples and candidate certified reference materials (CRMs). METHODS: Thirty-three different p-tau assays me

In recent years, Sweden has seen substantial changes to its building designs, especially regarding the envelope and ventilation systems, across both renovations and new constructions. Although enhancements like better insulation and new building materials have boosted energy efficiency, they have also led to moisture-related problems such as stains, mold, and decay. To address these issues, heat a
