In this paper, we introduce a new simple but powerful general technique for the study of edge- and vertex-reinforced processes with super-linear reinforcement, based on the use of order statistics for the number of edge, respectively of vertex, traversals. The technique relies on upper bound estimates for the number of edge traversals, proved in a different context by Cotar and Limic [Ann. Appl. P
Eutrofiering det oönskade fenomenet av hög näringstillförsel i ett akvatiskt system, är för det mesta ett resultat av mänsklig påverkan: industriellt och urbant avloppsvatten, avrinning av gödningsmedel från odlad mark, och förbränning av fossila bränslen. Studien av de främsta faktorerna som bidrar till eutrofiering (t. ex. variationer i kvävets kretslopp), är viktigt för förståelsen av dess negaEutrophication, the undesired phenomenon of high nutrient loads in an aquatic system, is mostly caused by human impact: industrial and urban waste water discharge, run-off of fertilizers from agricultural use, and combustion of fuels. The study of eutrophications' main participants such as the nitrogen cycle, are necessary to prevent it. Environmental parameters have an impact onto the effecti
Background: No studies to specifically determine the prevalence of contact allergy to acrylates/methacrylates in patch tested populations have been published. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of acrylate/methacrylate allergy in all patients tested to the baseline patch test series. Methods: Five acrylate/methacrylate allergens (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethylene glyc
An adsorbent was developed from mature leaves and stem bark of the Neem (Azadirachta indica) tree for removing zinc from water. Adsorption was carried out in a batch process with several different concentrations of zinc by varying pH. The uptake of metal was very fast initially, but gradually slowed down indicating penetration into the interior of the adsorbent particles. The data showed that opti
Objective: To estimate whether obese women have an increased risk of orofacial clefts in their offspring, compared with average-weight women. Design and Participants: The study was based on information on maternal body mass index (BMI) collected in early pregnancy and on the existence of orofacial clefts in the offspring, ascertained from multiple sources. The study included 1686 women who had inf
High-frequency in situ measurements at Gosan (Jeju Island, Korea) during November 2007 to December 2008 have been combined with interspecies correlation analysis to estimate national emissions of halogenated compounds (HCs) in East Asia, including the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6),
Activating Notch1 mutations have been reported in human T-line-age acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and lymphomas from genetically modified mice. We report that Notch1 is a prevalent and major mutational target in chemically induced mouse lymphoma. The regions of the gene that are frequently mutated are the heterodimerization domain and the N-terminal ligand-binding region, important for prote
The properties of the amyloid-beta peptide that lead to aggregation associated with Alzheimer's disease are not fully understood. This study aims at identifying conformational differences among four variants of full-length Abeta42 that are known to display very different aggregation properties. By extensive all-atom Monte Carlo simulations, we find that a variety of beta-sheet structures with dist
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the bone turnover by using bone metabolic markers in relation to previous fracture history and independent of bone mass. Patients and controls were recruited from a population-based study of 193 women, all living in the same city and aged 60, 70, and 80 years. The bone mineral content (BMC) was measured bilaterally in the distal forearm by single-p
In a double-blind, randomised, multicentre study, the efficacy and tolerability of tropisetron and a combination of tropisetron and dexamethasone were compared for the control of nausea and vomiting induced by cisplatin in patients previously not entirely protected by tropisetron monotherapy. In all, 160 women with gynaecological cancers were studied during two consecutive courses of cisplatin-con
Purpose: Incisional hernia repair (IHR) with a mesh is necessary to achieve low recurrence rates and pain relief. In the short term, quality of life (QoL) is restored by IHR. Two centers pioneered the IHR in Sweden with the highly standardized Rives–Stoppa technique using a retromuscular mesh. We assessed long-term follow-up of recurrence rate and QoL. Methods: Medical records were searched for IH
Purpose: To evaluate short- to midterm outcomes of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL) using patient-reported outcome measures and functional testing. Methods: Twenty-four patients were examined regarding knee function after MPFL reconstruction, with a mean follow-up time of 45.3 ± 18.4 months since surgery. Knee function was evaluated using the Tegner score, VAS, the knee injury
Familial risks for cancer are important for clinical counseling and understanding cancer etiology. Medically verified data on familial risks have not been available for all types of cancer. The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database includes all Swedes born in 1932 and later (0-to 68-year-old offspring) with their parents, totaling over 10.2 million individuals. Cancer cases were retrieved from
Summary Aquaporins facilitate water transport over cellular membranes and are therefore believed to play an important role in water homeostasis. In higher plants aquaporin-like proteins, also called major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), are divided into 5 subfamilies. We have previously shown that MIP transcription in Arabidopsis thaliana generally is down-regulated in leaves upon drought stress, apart

Petra Holmberg, postdoc in medical law at the Faculty of Law, won the Research Grand Prix competition in Helsingborg on 7 October. In front of an audience of over 500 secondary school students, she presented her research on the risks of 80 per cent of Gen Z using chatbots to manage stress or anxiety. “It’s not surprising, AI feels simple and safe. But my research shows that it can be downright dan
