Quinoa is a pseudocereal that has gained more attention in the last decades, due to its outstanding nutritional value. Quinoa has a very good protein quality and content, with a complete amino acid profile; it is also rich in minerals and bioactive compounds. However, quinoa, like other cereals and legumes, has phytate which inhibits the absorption of essential minerals. High content of phytate is

Prästen, psalmdiktaren och folkhögskolepionjären Nikolaj Frederik Severin Grundtvig och den rörelse som utgick från honom kom att spela en central roll för formandet av den danska religiösa och nationella identiteten från mitten av 1800-talet och framåt. Detta är ett känt faktum. Mindre känt är att grundtvigianismen även kom att få betydelse för katolsk identitetsformering i Danmark och indirekt ä

This article addresses the obstacle avoidance problem for setpoint stabilization tasks in complex dynamic 2-D environments that go beyond conventional scenes with isolated convex obstacles. A combined motion planner and controller is proposed that integrates the favorable convergence characteristics of closed-form motion planning techniques with the intuitive representation of system constraints t

The aim of the creation of this cohort was to investigate patterns of health and health care utilisation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, overall and in relation to specific diagnoses, among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) compared to the general population. People living in Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, on 1st of January 2014 with at least one diagnosis of ID (ICD-1

Universities have an important role in moving society towards a more sustainable future. However, this will require us to repurpose universities, reorienting and refocusing the different university domains (education, research, campus, and outreach) towards sustainability. The governance structures and processes used to embed sustainability into the activities and operations of the institution are

Recycling industrial wastewater is a significant challenge due to its complexity. However, achieving the global sustainable development goal 6—clean water and sanitation—requires suitable treatment technologies to upgrade and recycle water, thereby reducing drinking water consumption and water stress. This presentation focuses on two challenging wastewater streams:carwash and oily wastewater, demo

This chapter reviews methanol's properties as a fuel for marine use in general terms and then specifically for combustion engines and fuel cells. It discusses the different engine technologies being either investigated or demonstrated that allow methanol to be used in marine engines. Their potential in terms of power density, emissions, and efficiency, as well as their maturity are reviewed. The e

Multidimensional diffusion MRI is a promising new MRI approach that has the potential to non-invasively give information about brain microstructure at an unprecedented level of detail. The present contribution briefly reviews the salient features of the novel method, its historical background and differences with conventional methods, as well as the remaining challenges that have to be overcome in

As media consumption becomes increasingly individualized, people’s desire for shared cultural experiences remains. Reaction media provides one way to fulfil that need, fostering transnational community (Swan 2018) and a sense of co-presence and immediacy. In their most basic form, reaction media show people filming themselves or being filmed while reacting – viewing, eating, playing, trying out or

In this article we describe Tibetan indigenous women's perceptions and experiences of their own health and life situation in Shichuan Province, China. Fifteen focus group discussions (FGDs) and 10 interviews were conducted. Repeat FGDs were used to empower the women and as a tool to collect data. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, and three subthemes were identified: 'shouldering respo
