Purpose of the article: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)is an impairing neurodevelopmental disorder with an unknown etiology. The present study aims to investigate if the auditory brainstem response (ABR)to complex stimuli in children and adolescents diagnosed with ASD can be a possible objective biomarker in autism. Materials and methods: The ABR of 39 youth with ASD (7–18 years)were compared to th

Nodularia spumigena is a toxic cyanobacteria that blooms in the Baltic Sea every year. In the brackish water of the Baltic Sea, its toxin, nodularin, mainly affects the biota in the surface water due to the natural buoyancy of this species. However, the fate of the toxin is unknown, once the cyanobacteria bloom enters the more saline waters of the Kattegat. In order to investigate this knowledge g

The strawberry tortrix (Acleris comariana Lienig and Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a major pest of strawberry in Denmark and southern Sweden. Chemical and electrophysiological analyses revealed a single compound, (E)-11,13-tetradecadienal (E11,13-14:Ald), in gland extracts of females eliciting a strong antennal response in conspecific males. Also (Z)-11,13-tetradecadienal (Z11,13-14:Ald)

Cruises are one of the fastest growing and most energy-intense tourism segments, accounting for significant emissions of greenhouse gases, as well as air pollutants such as nitrous oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM2.5). International measures to limit the sector's environmental impacts have so far had no significant effects. This highlights the importance of national, regional or port-specifi

Background: Atopic eczema (also known as eczema) is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that often afflicts patients’ health and well-being. The Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative recommends that ‘long-term control of eczema’ is measured in all clinical trials 3 months or longer in duration. However, little has been published on what eczema control means to those living w

Inflation targeting is a common monetary policy regime. Inflation targets are often flexible in the sense that the central bank allows inflation to temporarily deviate from the target to avoid causing unnecessary volatility in the real economy. In this paper, we propose modeling the degree of flexibility using an autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) model.

BACKGROUND: No comprehensive collection of routine therapeutic drug monitoring data for antipsychotic drugs has been published. METHODS: In this compilation, data on 12 antipsychotics are presented. The drugs included are amisulpride (n = 506), aripiprazole (n = 1610), clozapine (n = 1189), flupentixol (n = 215), haloperidol (n = 390), olanzapine (n = 10,268), perphenazine (n = 1065), quetiapine (

Background & Aims: Colorectal cancer located at different anatomical subsites may have distinct etiologies and risk factors. Previous studies that have examined this hypothesis have yielded inconsistent results, possibly because most studies have been of insufficient size to identify heterogeneous associations with precision. Methods: In the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and N

Inledning När det gäller arbetsmarknadspolitik på det kommunala planet, har det ofta funnits utrymme för profession och politik att skapa och utforma lokala program. Utgångspunkterna har inte sällan varit ’innovativa idéer’ i syfte att tillgodose flera behov samtidigt. Sällan har verksamheterna vilat på forskning och beprövad erfarenhet. Systematisk uppföljning och kunskap om programmens konsekven
