Among other nutrients of breast milk, the amino acid pattern is considered normative throughout infancy. Exclusive breastfeeding by a healthy mother should be the standard from birth to 6 months. During the breastfeeding period the protein intake is low in the human being compared too many other animals. The protein content in breast milk is about 1 g/1 00 ml and the daily protein intake approxima
A Review of: Vega, Robert D. and Ruth S. Connell. “Librarians’ Attitudes Toward Conferences: A Study.” College & Research Libraries 68.6 (2007): 503-15. Objectives – To determine why professional librarians attend or do not attend conferences and to consider their attitudes toward the various conference offerings and whether conference attendance is important to their careers. Design – An e
This thesis deals primarily with the production of written texts by adults with reading and writing difficulties. Their writing is analysed from three different aspects: error analysis, non-error-oriented text analysis and analysis of the production process. These studies are based on data from on-line recordings of writing. The main question is how the written language production of adults with r
Coffee and tea contain numerous antimutagenic and antioxidant components and high levels of caffeine that may protect against colorectal cancer (CRC). We investigated the association between coffee and tea consumption and CRC risk and studied potential effect modification by CYP1A2 and NAT2 genotypes, enzymes involved in the metabolization of caffeine. Data from 477,071 participants (70.2% female)
In recent decades, comprehensive rationalisations have been implemented in public dentistry in Sweden. How rationalisations affect working conditions, health and production from a long-term perspective has been poorly investigated. This study aims to analyse changes and associations in dentists' working conditions, health and productivity during a 5-year period. In 2003 and 2008, 65 dentists respo
This study explores the influence of long-range intra-protein electrostatic interactions on the conformation of calmodulin in solution. Ensemble Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) is measured for calmodulin with a fluorophore pair incorporated specifically with a donor at residue 17 and an acceptor at position 117. This construct was generated by a combination of solid phase peptide synthesi
Molecular evolution approaches to developing molecules with characteristics particularly suited for specific applications have become important tools in biomedicine and biotechnology. Not only is it possible to identify molecules with specificities that cannot easily be obtained by other means, but it is also possible to fine-tune in an efficient manner the properties for, in principle, any specif
Previous work has shown that amylose (AM) can cross-link hydrophobically modified polymers by inclusion complexation, whereby thermoreversible cold-setting gels are formed. Here we investigate the complexation of AM with different samples of hydrophobically modified ethyl(hydroxyethyl) cellulose (HMEHEC), distinguished by differences in the architecture of the hydrophobes (the hydrophobic side cha
Hypoglycaemia (median venous blood glucose 1.8 mmol/l; range 1.6-2.3) was induced by an intravenous infusion of regular insulin in eight patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (age 28.0 +/- 7.4 years; mean +/- SD, duration 15.5 +/- 5.1 years) and in 12 age-matched healthy male control subjects. Multi-channel frequency analysis of electroencephalogram (electrophysiologic brain m
Increased expression of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors, HER1 and HER2 are related to poor prognosis in most cancers studied. Recently, a high expression of the two remaining receptors of the EGF system, HER3 and HER4 has been related to a favourable prognosis. However, prognostic significance of HER1 and HER2 receptors in bladder cancer is controversial and the effect of the expressio
The Parties to the Montreal Protocol are informed by three Panels of experts. One of these is the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP), which deals with two focal issues. The first focus is the effects of UV radiation on human health, animals, plants, biogeochemistry, air quality, and materials. The second focus is on interactions between UV radiation and global climate change and how the
In this work, we present a parallel approach to complete and restricted active space second-order perturbation theory, (CASPT2/RASPT2). We also make an assessment of the performance characteristics of its particular implementation in the Molcas quantum chemistry programming package. Parallel scaling is limited by memory and I/O bandwidth instead of available cores. Significant time savings for cal
The present study of Brassica cretica had two objectives. First, we compared estimates of population structure (Q(st)) for seven phenotypic characters with the corresponding measures for allozyme markers (F-st) to evaluate the supposition that genetic drift is a major determinant of the evolutionary history of this species. Secondly, we compared the genetic (co) variance (G) matrices of five popul
Bristen på personal inom människorelaterade yrken som till exempel vård och omsorg är idag ett problem som behöver lösas. En möjlig lösning skulle kunna vara att höja individers communal yrkesmål (vilja att arbeta med människor). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om compassion meditation, en metod som syftar till att höja medkänsla/medlidande, kan höja gymnasieelevers communal yrkesmål. I Sweden is witnessing a shortage of labor within the social and healthcare sector. A viable option that could bring Sweden one step closer to a solution is to raise the populations' communal goals. Our study aims to explore if compassion meditation, a method that aims to cultivate compassion can raise communal goals amongst Swedish high school students. Within this study, 250 students attending
The Aviation industry is ultra-safe. Rules and procedures have been attributed as a contributory factor for attaining this high level of safety. The complexity of the aviation system has risen dramatically in the last few decades due to the development and introduction of modern aircraft and on-board technological innovations. Every day pilots encounter situations they did not expect. During those
I juni 2022 röstades ett lagförslag igenom i riksdagen vilket resulterade i att det kostnadsbaserade avdraget för resor till och från arbetet (arbetsresor) ändrades om i grunden till att vara en färdmedelsneutral och avståndsbaserad skattereduktion. Innan de nya reglerna hann träda i kraft den 1 januari 2023 ändrade sig riksdagen och röstade i stället igenom ett förstärkt reseavdrag med höjda schaIn June 2022, a bill was passed through Riksdagen which led to the cost-based write off for traveling to and from your employment (work commute) being changed to accommodate non-specific travel methods and distance based tax deduction. Before the new bills had gone into effect starting from the 1st of january 2023, the Riksdag changed their mind and opted to pass a new bill that allowed for higher
Background: Despite the surcharge for the rush orders and discounts for the normal orders, some dealers of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) in the EU region frequently make rush orders. Currently, there are three types of orders implemented by Volvo CE: Emergency Order (EO) which is processed at the same day the order is received by the Distribution Centre (DC), Day Order (DO) which is pro
Background and Aims: Spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat mimics human T1D as the rats experience weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, ketoacidosis, onset during puberty and insulin-dependency within a day after diagnosis. Because the DP rat develops T1D spontaneously, it is a prime laboratory animal for dissecting the genetics of T1D susceptibility without the need for exte
The intermetallic compound AuSn is essential for the wetting of Au-rich AuSn solders. On the addition of In or Sb, pseudo-binary compounds AuSn1-x In (x) (x a parts per thousand currency sign 0.33) and AuSn1-y Sb (y) (y a parts per thousand currency sign 0.17) are formed. Both adopt the AuSn structure type (P6(3)/mmc, Z = 2). This single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals that there is an abs
The radiation exposure of fingers, thyroid and eyes of workers handling radiopharmaceuticals during various nuclear medicine procedures was measured using thermoluminescent dosemeters. Dosemeters were placed on the finger tips of 19 workers on several different occasions for various procedures. Additionally, the routinely determined whole-body doses to various groups of workers were analysed. The
