Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) is emerging as a standard tool for high-throughput protein quantification. For reliable and reproducible SRM protein quantification it is essential that system performance is stable. We present here a quality control workflow that is based on repeated analysis of a standard sample to allow insight into the stability of the key properties of a SRM setup. This is s

Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infections place an immense burden on health care systems and pose particular diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Infection with HIV is the most powerful known risk factor predisposing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and progression to active disease, which increases the risk of latent TB reactivation 20-fold. TB is also the most common cause of AIDS-relate

BACKGROUND:: Sexual health and sexual activity are important elements of an individual's well-being. For couples, this topic is often affected after a myocardial infarction (MI). It has become increasingly clear that, after an MI, patients are insufficiently educated on how to resume normal sexual activity. However, sufficient data on the general knowledge that patients and partners have about sex

PURPOSE: This cross-national qualitative study explores how very old people reflect upon relocation and aging in place. DESIGN AND METHODS: Swedish and German data are utilized in this study. About 80 community-living participants, 80-89 years of age, were interviewed with open-ended questions at home by trained interviewers. The interviews were analyzed by using conventional qualitative content a

Laser-induced Rayleigh scattering is commonly employed for two-dimensional temperature measurements and offers benefits such as high accuracy, easily interpreted data and low experimental complexity. Yet the approach suffers from an interference often referred to as stray light, an umbrella term used for all spurious light being detected. As Rayleigh scattering is an elastic scattering phenomenon,

The generation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) represents an exciting advancement with promise for stem cell transplantation therapies as well as for neurological disease modeling. Based on the emerging roles for astrocytes in neurological disorders, we investigated whether hiPSC-derived astrocyte progenitors could be engrafted to the rodent spinal cord and how the characteristics

The distribution of exogeneous radiolabelled surfactant was investigated in immature newborn lambs who were either ventilated vigorously at birth, and then given surfactant, or who were given surfactant before the first breath. Surfactant distribution was more uniform, and lung mechanics better among the latter.

This article presents a study of how the use of around 40 different attenuation markers develops among five Swedish learners of Spanish during a four-month stay in Spain. The material was extracted from a corpus of semi-spontaneous discussions and simulated negotiations between native speakers of Spanish and Swedish learners. The results reveal a moderate increase of attenuation markers between th

The purpose of this paper is to examine current practices of load factor utilisation of road transport. An interview study of five shippers and two transport providers were conducted. The research shows that transport providers seem to work efficiently with operational practices to improve the load factor, but the load factor seems not to be highly prioritised when it comes to strategic decisions.

The article investigates the relationship between Sweden and the Ottoman Empire during the eighteenth century with a focus on the travelogue of Jacob Björnståhl.

I detta konferensbidrag beskriver jag ett exempel på hur IKT (Informations- och kommunikationsteknik) kan användas i litteraturundervisning på gymnasiet i Sverige på ett sätt som gör det möjligt för eleverna att bli mer aktiva producenter av kunskap i en flexibel inlärningsmiljö samtidigt som man främjar en globaliserad litteratursyn, särskilt vad gäller fransk litteratur, som går bortom nationensIn this paper I describe an example of how ICT (Information and communication technologies) can be used in teaching literature at upper secondary level in Sweden in a way that lets the pupils become more active producers of knowledge in a flexible learning environment and promotes a globalized view of literature, especially of French literature, which goes beyond the nation’s borders.
