The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are the golden age of the poetic epitaph in Sweden and Europe. Most epitaphs were shaped in accordance with the principle of decorum, i.e., they were written to praise the dead and to comfort the bereaved. But there were also poems that sought to instead find faults with the deceased, sometimes even to insult their memory. A form of funeral poetry that was

To the best of our knowledge, "sweet mini bell" peppers have not been extensively investigated. In this study, we evaluated the bioaccessible phenolic compounds released during intestinal digestion and identified and quantified the microbial metabolites derived from phenolic compounds bioconversion during the in vitro colonic fermentation. A total of 66 phenolic compounds were determined. The resu

The deliberation that precedes or runs alongside the remaking of cities, buildings and landscapes seem almost by default to generate situations with unsatisfied stakehold-ers, neglected citizen groups or completely ignored voices. What does it mean to find, listen and respond to those concerned by alteration of built environments? Here, in this paper, citizen participation, its ideological and pol

Coronapandemin har inneburit ett hårt slag för café- och restaurangbranschen då kunderna i stor utsträckning uteblir, dels på grund av rädsla för smitta, dels på grund av uppmaningar från myndigheterna om social distansering. I branschen ärmånga småföretagare utan större ekonomisk buffert. Innan krisen är över kommer sannolikt många företag att ha tvingats lägga ned verksamheter (DN, 2020). Vi för

In atherosclerotic vascular disease, endothelial dysfunction is induced by risk factors such as arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and tobacco use. In fl ammatory mechanisms and in fl ammatory cytokines play important roles in all of these mechanisms, and the different steps in atherogenesis involve cytokines as in fl ammatory promoters, stimulating the expression of proatherogenic genes

We report a new design of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. Acoustic trapping enables nanoparticle and exosome enrichment without the need for ultracentrifugation. The commercial acoustic trapping technology, AcouTrap (AcouSort AB), typically operates at flow rates < 50 μl/min which limits processing of larger

(E)valuative technologies such as standards and conventionalized (e)valuative practices, some including the use of technological devices, govern the production of food in the global north. Food supply chains consist of multiple interrelated markets, where goods are (e)valuated to distinguish their qualities and prices. Qualities and prices that are transformed as the raw materials move through the

We use Markov state models (MSMs) to analyze the dynamics of a β-hairpin-forming peptide in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations with interacting protein crowders, for two different types of crowder proteins [bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and GB1]. In these systems, at the temperature used, the peptide can be folded or unfolded and bound or unbound to crowder molecules. Four or five major fre

The human genome encodes 13 aquaporin isoforms with characteristic substrate specificity that are expressed at specific locations throughout the body. Of these isoforms, AQPs 1-4 serve important functions in renal water reabsorption. Consequently, specific AQP inhibitors have been proposed as 'aquaretics', a new class of drugs suitable to induce diuresis without concomitant salt wasting. Furthermo
