One of the primary tenets of polyvagal theory dictates that parasympathetic influence on heart rate, often estimated by respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA), shifts rapidly in response to changing environmental demands. The current standard analytic approach of aggregating RSA estimates across time to arrive at one value fails to capture this dynamic property within individuals. By utilizing recent
In this issue of J Endocrinol, Schuyler et al. show that intimal lesions in atherosclerosis-prone diabetic apoE-/- mice are reduced by insulin treatment. An increase of metalloproteinase-9 expression was observed in untreated diabetic apoE-/- mice; this was absent in insulin-treated mice. The study suggests that hindering of tissue-remodeling metalloproteinases may account for the beneficial effec
Genomic selection is a new technology in which selection decisions are based on direct genomic values (DGVs) or genomic enhanced breeding values (GEBVs). The objective of this study was to evaluate the relations between DGVs and several milk traits important for both the nutritional value and processability of milk. This is a new approach and can be used to increase the knowledge on how genomic se
Approximately 1700 Pg of soil carbon (C) are stored in the northern circumpolar permafrost zone, more than twice as much C than in the atmosphere. The overall amount, rate, and form of C released to the atmosphere in a warmer world will influence the strength of the permafrost C feedback to climate change. We used a survey to quantify variability in the perception of the vulnerability of permafros
Background: Chairs and sofas imported from China to Europe were shown to contain dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a sensitizing, volatile chemical. Many of the sensitized patients also had positive patch test reactions to acrylates. Objectives: To analyse the occurrence and strength of DMF sensitization and the appearance of concomitant reactions. Methods: Patch testing with DMF in concentrations of 0.1-0
When growing grapevines there are common risks for disease outbreaks when the pathogen has remained from earlier growing cycles and the weather and soil conditions work in the diseases' favour. The diseases may spread a lot before being highly noticeable. This means that the harvests of grapes for wine production are in jeopardy. This thesis concerns a branch of a, from the Swedish Board of Ag
Consanguineous marriage is prevalent in certain world regions due to cultural, economic, and social reasons. However, it can lead to negative consequences including an increased risk of genetic disorders in offspring. Premarital genetic screening (PMGS) is an important tool to identify and manage these risks before marriage. This study aimed to assess the magnitude of consanguineous marriage, know
Heterozygous PRRT2 variants are frequently implicated in Self-limited Infantile Epilepsy, whereas homozygous variants are so far linked to severe presentations including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, movement disorders, and intellectual disability. In a study aiming to explore the genetics of epilepsy in the Sudanese population, we investigated several families including a consanguin
Due to the relatively short duration of earthquakes, most studies simplify their impact on structures by considering the total effect of each event rather than modelling the instantaneous accumulation of damage during the event itself. This approach may underestimate performance degradation, as incremental damage occurring during the shock can lead to an immediate reduction in capacity. Furthermor
This paper examines the practice of signposting in online counselling provided by the social services in Sweden. Specifically, it focuses on cases where online users are steered to seek offline help. The data corpus consists of 68 online chat logs (quasi-synchronous interactions) and 200 Internet question form exchanges (asynchronous interactions). The data were examined using the approach of conv
Municipal currencies are emerging as policy tools for fostering local economies and enhancing human rights, as illustrated by the cases of Mumbuca in Maricá, Brazil, and Vilawatt in Viladecans, Spain. These local currencies address socio-economic and environmental challenges by articulating currency issuance with community priorities, such as social welfare or reducing energy poverty. Unlike natio
This paper is interested in the phenomenon whereby Absolut as a brand has become successful regardless of the fact that it promotes a generic product: vodka. However, instead of considering the most established factor for brand success, brand equity, this qualitative study attempts to use a more cultural-based approach in order to delve deeper into the questions of why the consumer actually connec
Background: Measurement of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a standard procedure for assessing long term glycemic control in individuals with diabetes mellitus as it gives the stable and reliable value of blood glucose levels for a period of 90–120 days. Point-of-Care testing is becoming more and more important due to rapid results and improved experiences for patients. In this project, eight su
Inverse problems are important in quantum physics as their solutions are essential in order to describe a number of systems using measurable information, e.g. excitation energies or material properties. The problem with inverse problems is that they are usually very hard to solve. One method that could be useful in solving these problems is artificial neural networks. Artificial neural networks ha
This study analyses Chinese people's engagement in #MeTooinChina against sexual assault and patriarchal norms in Chinese society by asking three main research questions: 1) Why and how do Chinese people engage with #MeTooinChina? 2) What challenges are they faced with in their engagement and how do these challenges influence their continuous engagement with #MeTooinChina? 3) How do they reflec
The intersectional nature of gender-based violence (GBV) makes it unlikely that survivors can escape the socio-economic precarity that perpetuates this social ill. Current conceptualizations of the entrepreneurial process do not sufficiently account for the material constraints GBV survivors face in developing countries and/or in contexts of poverty, and as such, may not fully grasp their capaciti
