Oats ( Avena sativa ) are commonly kilned to inactivate native lipases, yet the impact of kilning on the storability of oats is not fully understood. In this study the impact of kilning on five different oat varieties during 12 months of continuous storage was investigated. The study included three commercial oat varieties with different lipid contents, and two novel oat lines selected for decreas

This study aimed to examine the significance that a low-threshold meeting place has on everyday life, the well-being, and possible experiences of loneliness of the socially vulnerable people who visit it regularly. We used McMillan & Chavis’s theory about sense of community as a theoretical framework for our study. To gather data for the study, we conducted qualitative interviews with individu

Kanarieöarna, en ögrupp i Atlanten som tillhör Spanien och bildades för cirka 25 miljoner år sedan, har en komplex geologisk historia präglad av intensiv magmatisk aktivitet från en underliggande så kallad hotspot. Under hotspoten har extraordinärt varmt mantelmaterial transporterats upp till basen av litosfären som delvis har smält upp. Teneriffa, en av de mest välkända öarna i ögruppen, formadesThe Canary Islands, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean belonging to Spain and formed about 25 million years ago, have a complex geological history characterized by intense magmatic activity from an underlying so-called hotspot. Under the hotspot, extraordinarily hot mantle material has been transported up to the base of the lithosphere, which has partially been melted. Tenerife, is one of the be

Technological advances in computed tomography (CT) have highlighted limitations of traditional dose descriptors such as computed tomography dose indexvol and dose-length product, particularly for wide-beam and modulated acquisitions. This study investigates a CT-specific, operational air kerma–area product derived from time-resolved measurements using small solid-state dosemeters mounted at the ga

This work presents a regional climate model, the Rossby Centre regional Atmospheric model (RCA1), recently developed from the High Resolution Limited Area Model (HIRLAM). The changes in the HIRLAM parametrizations, necessary for climate-length integrations, are described. A regional Baltic Sea ocean model and a modeling system for the Nordic inland lake systems have been coupled with RCA1. The cou

Purpose: There are limited data to show how sex impacts the early clinical course of patients with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). This study aimed to explore potential sex related disparities in the preoperative, surgical, and early postoperative course of HSCR patients. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of HSCR patients who underwent pull-through surgery at pediatric surgery centers i

Background: In patients with rectal cancer, when it is not possible to restore bowel continuity with an anastomosis, the optimal surgical method is still a matter of debate. The aim of this trial was to determine 30-day postoperative surgical complication rates after Hartmann’s procedure (HP) versus intersphincteric abdominoperineal excision (iAPE) in patients with rectal cancer who were not suita

In this text we develop a model of countries deciding on mitigation levels of CO2 in a tit-for-tat manner. Taking key ideas from earlier papers, we construct a payoff framework which describes free-riding incentives and which assesses the utility of countries' discounted future output - an output which is reduced by both abatement costs and climate damage. We then, by means of a differential e

Globally, road traffic accidents (RTAs) remain a major cause of death, particularly among individuals aged 15–30 years. While Sweden has been at the forefront of traffic safety through the Vision Zero initiative, in-hospital management remains crucial in determining RTA outcomes. Drawing on North American evidence suggesting improved survival at trauma centres, the Swedish healthcare system has in

Background: This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of proton beam therapy (PBT) compared to conventional radiotherapy (CRT) for treating patients with brain tumors in Sweden. Methods: Data from a longitudinal non-randomized study performed between 2015 and 2020 was used, and included adult patients with brain tumors, followed during treatment and through a one-year follow-up. Clinical and demo

Hybrid quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) approaches have been used to provide a general scheme for chemical reactions in proteins. However, such approaches still present a major challenge to computational chemists, not only because of the need for very large computer time in order to evaluate the QM energy but also because of the need for proper computational sampling. This review fo

Background: In Sweden, surgical treatment of Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) was centralized from four to two pediatric surgery centers 1st of July 2018. In adults, centralization of surgical care for complex or rare diseases seems to improve quality of care. There is little evidence supporting centralization of pediatric surgical care. The aim of this study was to assess surgical management and pos

BACKGROUND: Compared to the general population, patients with alcohol and drug addiction have an increased risk of additional hazardous lifestyles and suffer from more chronic diseases, adding to their already significantly higher morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to test the efficacy of the Very Integrated Program (VIP) on treatment and health outcomes for patients diagnose

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate agreement between instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR) and fractional flow reserve (FFR) for the functional assessment of nonculprit coronary stenoses at staged follow-up after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). RESULTS: We measured iFR and FFR at staged follow-up in 112 STEMI patients with 146 nonculprit stenoses. Median interval between STEMI and follow-up

Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiner är stora kedjelika molekyler som syntetiseras i cellen med utgångspunkt från arvsmassan, DNA. I alla organismer har proteinerna en mängd uppgifter som kan sträcka sig allt ifrån att vara byggnadsmaterial i senor och bindväv till att fungera som avancerade molekylära maskiner i organismens energiomsättning. I stor utsträckning reglerar olika proteiner också bilAbstract. This thesis describes factors that are rate limiting for the folding of two small proteins, U1A and CI2 which fold without accumulating intermediates. The [GdnHCl] dependencies of the unfolding- and refolding kinetics of U1A display downward curvatures. However, as the curvatures are precisely matched and no indications of formation of partially structured intermediates are seen, the fol

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) open a new era of X-ray based research by generating extremely intense X-ray flashes. To further improve the spectrum brightness, a self-seeding FEL scheme has been developed and demonstrated experimentally. As the next step, new-generation FELs with high repetition rates are being designed, built and commissioned around the world. A high repetition rate would si

Regulatory authorities must balance ensuring evidence of efficacy and safety of new drugs. Various regulatory pathways, such as the accelerated approval program in the United States (US), allow authorities to quickly approve drugs for severely ill patients by granting market authorization based on surrogate end points and pending confirmatory trials. In this cross-sectional study, we considered 23
