This book proposes the study of norms as a method of explaining human choice and behaviour by introducing a new scientific perspective.The science of norms may here be broadly understood as a social science which includes elements from both the behavioural and legal sciences. It is given that a science of norms is not normative in the sense of prescribing what is right or wrong in various situatio
Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do
This study estimated the climate footprint of halogenated inhalation anesthetics in Sweden and estimated effects of a decreased use of these compounds. We collected data on sales of desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane in Sweden during 2017 and calculated the mass of CO2 equivalents (CO2e) using Global Warming Potential data over 100 years for the compounds. Inhalation anesthetics contributed by
Cosmology presents students with ideas that stimulate their curiosity and brings together various concepts from STEM that call on a variety of reasoning types across multiple representational modes, involving subtleties of spacetime relations, a variety of models and evidence requiring multiple lines of high precision observations. This study investigated high school students’ levels and types of
The use of protective gloves is of importance in workplaces where hazardous chemicals are handled, including the chemical industry, the plastic industry, as well as in environments such as dental practices, hairdressing, and beauty salons. Occupational dermatology can provide crucial advice regarding how to avoid or protect the patient against allergens found in the work environment and provide th
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To provide an overview of recent studies discussing novel strategies, controversies, and challenges in the management of severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) in the initial postinjury hours. RECENT FINDINGS: Prehospital management of sTBI should adhere to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) principles. Maintaining oxygen saturation and blood pressure within target ranges on-scen
A brief period of sublethal cerebral ischemia, followed by several days of recovery, renders the brain resistant to a subsequent lethal ischemic insult, a phenomenon termed ischemic preconditioning or tolerance. Ischemic tolerance was established in the rat two-vessel occlusion model of ischemia, induced by occlusion of both carotid arteries in combination with hypotension. Ischemic preconditionin
A short period of sublethal preconditioning ischemia (3 min) followed by two days of reperfusion provides almost complete protection against ischemic cell death induced by a second (9 min) lethal ischemic episode. Here, we have investigated the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase kinase and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, two kinases known to activate gene transcription an
The subgrade is the top surface of a roadbed upon which the pavement structure is constructed. The purpose is to provide a platform for construction of the pavement and to support the pavement without unwanted deflection that would reduce its performance. For those reasons subgrade bearing capacity have to be investigate during the construction process as a quality control, based on the design res
Separately collected urine is an attractive potential fertilizer because of its high nutrient content, low cost, and inherent linkage of urban wastewater management and peri-urban agriculture. Urine from waterless urinals was applied to corn and lettuce plants to examine the impact of urine application rates and frequency on plant growth and soil parameters. In both corn and lettuce experiments, u
BackgroundLignin is a potential feedstock for microbial conversion into various chemicals. However, the microbial degradation rate of native or technical lignin is low, and chemical depolymerization is needed to obtain reasonable conversion rates. In the current study, nine bacterial strains belonging to the Pseudomonas and Rhodococcus genera were evaluated for their ability to grow on alkaline-tr
Mellan åren 1955 och 1957 utförde Märta Strömberg (sedermera professor i arkeologi) och Rolf Petré (som senare blev fil. lic. i arkeologi) arkeologiska undersökningar av Vätterydsgravfältet i norra Mellby socken (L1990:1893 / Norra Mellby 1:1) ...
The present study aims to describe accelerometer-assessed physical activity (PA) patterns and fulfillment of PA recommendations in a large sample of middle-aged men and women, and to study differences between subgroups of socio-demographic, socio-economic, and lifestyle-related variables. A total of 27 890 (92.5% of total participants, 52% women, aged 50–64 years) middle-aged men and women with at
