Retinal image motion could be due to movement of the observer through space or an object relative to the scene. Optic flow, form, and change of position cues all provide information that could be used to separate out retinal motion due to object movement from retinal motion due to observer movement. In Experiment 1 we used a minimal display to examine the contribution of optic flow and form cues.
There is a high quest for novel therapeutic strategies to enhance recovery after stroke. MicroRNA-124 (miR-124) has been described as neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory molecule. Moreover, miR-124 is a well described enhancer of adult neurogenesis that could offer potentially beneficial effects. Herein, we used miR-124-loaded nanoparticles (miR-124 NPs) to evaluate their therapeutic potential i
We demonstrate direct visualization of melting mapping of DNA stretched in nanoscale channels[1] using standard staining methods and epifluorescence microscopy to gain information on the local AT/GC ratio along large DNA molecules. Our development opens up a novel route to mapping of large-scale genomic variations.
Background: Managing acute abdominal pain in the large and growing population of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB)–operated patients poses a challenge to general surgeons, because of diagnostic limitations and the risk of internal herniation. Objective: To investigate the diagnoses, management, and outcome of RYGB patients admitted for acute abdominal pain. Setting: University Hospital, Sweden. Meth
The aim of this study was to describe changes in the use of accident and emergency departments in the Copenhagen Hospital Co-operation after restricted admittance to the accident and emergency department at a large Danish university hospital, Rigshospitalet (admittance only for patients transported by ambulance or presenting with a referral from a doctor).MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective stud
A Dark Matter Science Project is being developed in the context of the ESCAPE project. The goal of this ESCAPE Science Project is to highlight the synergies between different communities and experiments searching for dark matter by producing new results and making the necessary data and software tools fully available, in particular focusing on data management, data analysis and computing. As part
Background: Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to simple sugars at commercial scale is hampered by the high cost of saccharifying enzymes. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) may hold the key to overcome economic barriers. Recent studies have shown that controlled activation of LPMOs by a continuous H2O2 supply can boost saccharification yields, while overdosing H2O2 may lea
Treatment of depression is hampered by the failure to identify distinct symptom profiles with distinct pathophysiologies that differentially respond to distinct treatments. We posit that inflammatory depression is a meaningful depression subtype associated with specific symptoms and biological abnormalities. We review several upstream, potentially causative, mechanisms driving low-grade inflammati
Background: Use of bio-based diesel is increasing in Europe. It is currently produced from oilseed crops, but can also be generated from lignocellulosic biomass such as straw. However, removing straw affects soil organic carbon (SOC), with potential consequences for the climate impact of the biofuel. This study assessed the climate impacts and energy balance of biodiesel production from straw usin
Background: Brief Admission is a crisis and risk management strategy in which self-harming and suicidal individuals with three or more diagnostic criteria of borderline personality disorder self-admit to hospital at times of increasing risk when other efforts to stay safe are failing. Standardized in the current randomized controlled trial, the intensity of Brief Admission Skåne is implemented in
”The economy as instituted process” från 1957 torde vara den näst mest kända texten av Karl Polanyi (1886–1964) efter hans huvudarbete Den stora omdaningen från 1944. Här reder han ut skillnaden mellan ekonomibegreppets två innebörder av ekonomi som människors faktiska, substantiella utbyte med naturen och varandra och ekonomi som ett formaliserat tankesystem för rationell optimering. Polanyi argu
Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel
