Siljan, central Sweden, is the largest known impact structure in Europe. It was formed at about 380 Ma, in the late Devonian period. The structure has been heavily eroded to a level originally located underneath the crater floor, and to date, important questions about the original size and morphology of Siljan remain unanswered. Here we present the results of a shock barometry study of quartz-bear
According to results of a recent literature search performed by the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TF) on Quality of Life and Patient Oriented Outcomes (QoL and PO) and Acne, Rosacea and Hidradenitis Suppurativa (ARHS), most of the publications where health-related (HR) QoL of acne patients was studied were clinical trials. Members of the EADV TF on QoL and PO
In today's terrorism-prone and security-focused world, evacuation emergencies, drills, and false alarms are becoming more and more common. Compliance to an evacuation order made by an authority in case of emergency can play a key role in the outcome of an emergency. In case an evacuee experiences repeated emergency scenarios which may be a false alarm (e.g., an evacuation drill, a false bomb threa
Importance: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia can cause lifelong neurodevelopmental impairment (kernicterus) even in high-resource settings. A better understanding of the incidence and processes leading to kernicterus may help in the design of preventive measures.Objectives: To determine incidence rates of hazardous hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus among near-term to term newborns and to evaluate heal
The spread of new beliefs, behaviors, conventions, norms, and technologies in social and economic networks are often driven by cascading mechanisms, and so are contagion dynamics in financial networks. Global behaviors generally emerge from the interplay between the structure of the interconnection topology and the local agents' interactions. We focus on the Threshold Model (TM) of cascades first
Background: Membrane proteins constitute up to 30% of the human proteome. These proteins have special properties because the transmembrane segments are embedded into lipid bilayer while extramembranous parts are in different environments. Membrane proteins have several functions and are involved in numerous diseases. A large number of prediction methods have been introduced to predict protein subc
Forty-one assays were analysed at the 3rd International Workshop on the standardisation of islet cell antibodies. Analysis of precision demonstrated assays consistently detecting blind duplicates within one doubling dilution and capable of discriminating one doubling dilution differences in islet cell antibody concentration. Some assays, however, reported duplicates discrepantly by more than seven
Aerosol composition and optical scattering from particles in the lowermost stratosphere (LMS) have been studied by comparing in-situ aerosol samples from the IAGOS-CARIBIC passenger aircraft with vertical profiles of aerosol backscattering obtained from the CALIOP lidar aboard the CALIPSO satellite. Concentrations of the dominating fractions of the stratospheric aerosol, being sulphur and carbon,
Domestic revenue mobilization continues to feature on the agendas of international development agents and academic communities. There is, however, a strong focus on comparing the developed and developing countries with the aim of finding transferable lessons to the latter. Thus, most comparative studies default to comparing tax performances of developing countries with OECD averages. Interregional
This study conducted a comprehensive evaluation of three satellite precipitation products (TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) 3B42, CMORPH (the Climate Prediction Center (CPC) Morphing algorithm), and PERSIANN (Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks)) using data from 52 rain gauge stations over the Meichuan watershed, which is a represent

Popular Abstract in Swedish Trots ett sunt leverne med regelbunden motion och nyttig mat kan vi inte alltid förhindra risken att drabbas av vissa typer av cancer som till exempel hjärntumörer. Den vanligaste formen av elakartade hjärntumörer heter glioblastoma multiforme och är också den mest aggressiva. Symptomen varierar beroende på tumörens storlek och var i hjärnan den växer, och patienter kanGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite standard treatment including surgery, radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ)-based chemotherapy, the prognosis for GBM patients is dismal, and there is a need for novel treatments. One possible therapeutic treatment modality presented here is immunotherapy, either alone or combined with in
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Årligen drabbas 7000 kvinnor i Sverige och cirka 1500 kvinnor dör av sin sjukdom. Bröstcancer uppkommer genom ett samspel mellan livsstil, miljö och gener. En kvinna som har en förstagradssläkting (t.ex. syster, mor) med bröstcancer har ungefär dubbelt så stor risk att drabbas av bröstcancer jämfört med eApproximately 7000 women are diagnosed and 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden every year. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay of polymorphisms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and the use of concomitant medication in relation to risk and prognosis in two cohorts: one composed of young healthy women from high-risk breast cancer families and the other of breast cancer patients fro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det svenska samhället har förändrats mycket genom invandring under de senaste årtiondena. Många barn i Sverige har idag ett annat modersmål än svenska. De flesta barn tillägnar sig svenska utan problem, medan så inte är fallet för vissa barn. Dessa skillnader har diskuterats, och olika förklaringar till detta har framhållits, till exempel bristfällig exponering för svenThe aim of this thesis was to provide both epidemiological and linguistic data on bilingual children with language impairment (LI), since few data on this group exist. Data from 438 bilingual and monolingual children, referred over a period of 12 months, were compared in the first epidemiological study. The results showed that the bilingual children with suspected LI were referred significantly l
Popular Abstract in Swedish Multikonjugerad Adaptiv Optik för Astronomiska Teleskop 1. Atmosfärisk turbulens Allt sedan man på 1600-talet började bruka optiska instrument inom astronomin, för att understödja det mänskliga ögat då man beskådade stjärnhimlen, har astronomer strävat efter att bygga allt större och bättre teleskop för att kunna se längre ut i rymden och skönja allt ljussvagare objekt.This work analyses several aspects of multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) for astronomy. The research ranges from fundamental and technical studies for present-day MCAO projects, to feasibility studies of high-order MCAO instruments for the extremely large telescopes (ELTs) of the future. The first part is an introductory exposition on atmospheric turbulence, adaptive optics (AO) and MCAO, esta

Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en snabbt växande folksjukdom som redan har drabbat 200 miljoner världen runt. Det finns två typer av sjukdomen: typ I samt typ II diabetes. Den förstnämnda drabbar vanligtvis de unga och beror på en s.k. autoimmun reaktion där kroppens egna immunförsvar av okänd anledning plötsligt inte känner igen insulincellerna och börjar attackera dem. Typ II diabetes uDiabetes affects around 200 million people worldwide. Curing diabetes would require the prevention of autoimmune destruction of beta cells and restoration of the beta cell mass restored either through regeneration or transplantation of the insulin producing cells. Islet transplantation according to the Edmonton protocol have been the most promising therapeutic option for Diabetes type I patients,
