The properties of a white wheat bread could be changed by adding normal or heat-treated barley flour in small amounts (2 and 4%) to a white wheat bread recipe. Differences regarding gelatinisation as well as retrogradation properties were found when analysing the two flours in model systems. The heat-treated flour was fully gelatinised due to a prior time-, temperature- and pressure-treatment and
The relationship between defensive strategies as measured by the Meta-Contrast Technique (MCT) and self-reported trait anxiety, trait aggression and defensiveness, as measured by the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP), was investigated in 83 healthy men. Further aims of the study were to describe and document how a healthy and demographically well defined group of subjects responded to the MCT
The deep structure of the gabbro-anorthosite-rapakivi granite ("AMCG-type") Korosten Pluton (KP) in the northwestern Ukrainian Shield was studied by 3-D modelling of the gravity and magnetic fields together with previous seismic data. The KP occupies an area of ca. 12,500 km(2) and comprises several layered gabbro-anorthositic intrusions enveloped by large volumes of rapakivi-type granitoids. Betw
Sampling methodology (e.g. population-based vs. clinical samples, anonymous self-reports vs. data collected as part of mandated treatment) affects the validity of conclusions drawn from research addressing the etiology of adolescent sexual offending. Studies of unselected samples allow testing of the generalizability of etiological models suggested from investigation of selected clinical or forens
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att beskriva, analysera och jämföra rekontextualiseringen av socialpedagogik i tre olika curriculum; I Nijmegen (Nederländerna), Lillehammer (Norge) och Sligo (Irland). Rekontextualisering, ett begrepp hämtat från Basil Bernstein, syftar på den transformation som sker när socialpedagogik flyttas in i ett undervisningssammanhang. Materialet bestårThe purpose of this thesis is to describe, analyse, and compare the recontextualisation of social pedagogy in three different curricula; in Nijmegen (NL), Lillehammer (N), and Sligo (IRL). The curricula represent different academic orientations and are located in different social-political contexts. The recontextualisation of social pedagogy, the concept derived from the works of Basil Bernstein,
Granulated wood ash has been proposed as a slow release fertiliser suitable for forest soils. In this study ectomycorrhizal colonisation of roots and ash granules was studied in a 40-year-old spruce forest treated with 0, 3 or 6 t ha(-1) granulated wood ash. We used PCR-RFLP methods for ITS-typing and identification of ectomycorrhizal fungi. In total 20 different ITS-types were recognised on roots
Health promotion has become a widespread concept, although little empirical research as to its importance and outcome has been performed in the mental health field. The aim of the present study was to investigate the construct validity of a newly developed Health Promotion Intervention Questionnaire, intended to measure patients' subjectively experienced health-promoting interventions within menta
Context. Manganese is an iron-peak element and although the nucleosynthesis path that leads to its formation is fairly well understood, it remains unclear which objects, SN II and/or SN Ia, that contribute the majority of Mn to the interstellar medium. It also remains unclear to which extent the supernovae Mn yields depend on the metallicity of the progenitor star or not. Aims. By using a well stu
The functional organization of the hindlimb withdrawal reflex system was studied in the rat. For the reflex pathway to each muscle, a "mirror-image" relationship was found between the spatial distribution of sensitivity within its cutaneous receptive field and the pattern of cutaneous unloading ensuing on muscle contraction. Thus, the withdrawal movement pattern ensuing on contraction in a muscle
This work is theoretical analyses of heat transfer across film a flowing over the surface of a rotating disk. This field has wide industrial applications in Turbomachinery, chemical, and food industries. An analytical study is developed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics in the liquid film due to jet impinging at the center of the disk. A theoretical model is based on heat balance an
Estimates of direct and indirect costs of psoriasis are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate: (i) costs in patients with psoriasis compared with controls; and (ii) impact on costs from initiating biologics. The study extracted data from Swedish administrative registers and compared 31,043 patients with 111,645 sex-, age- and residency-matched referents. Mean direct and indirect costs wer
