Increased temperatures and concomitant changes in vegetation patterns are expected to dramatically alter the functioning of northern ecosystems over the next few decades. Predicting the ecosystem response to such a shift in climate and vegetation is complicated by the lack of knowledge about the links between aboveground biota and belowground process rates. Current models suggest that increasing t

Aim: To investigate the application of skin-to-skin care (SSC) in the Nordic countries, the existence of guidelines for SSC and the attitudes of neonatal staff towards SSC. Methods: One questionnaire was distributed at unit level and one at staff level in all Nordic neonatal intensive care units (n = 109). Results: The unit questionnaire was answered by 95 (87%) units and the staff questionnaire b

The cerebellar cortex is necessary for adaptively timed conditioned responses (CRs) in eyeblink conditioning. During conditioning, Purkinje cells acquire pause responses or "Purkinje cell CRs" to the conditioned stimuli (CS), resulting in disinhibition of the cerebellar nuclei (CN), allowing them to activate motor nuclei that control eyeblinks. This disinhibition also causes inhibition of the infe

The ECL cells constitute the major endocrine cell population in the acid-producing part of the stomach. Gastrin from G cells in the antrum is the main stimulus of gastric acid secretion. Gastrin stimulates the ECL cells in the oxyntic mucosa to mobilize histamine, which in turn stimulates the parietal cells to produce hydrochloric acid. In the present study we assessed the usefulness and limitatio

Changes of the electronic structure accompanied by charge localization and a transition to an antiferromagnetic ground state were observed in the organic semiconductor (DOEO)(4)[HgBr4]center dot TCE. Localization starts in the temperature region of about 150 K and the antiferromagnetic state occurs below 60 K. The magnetic moment of the crystal contains contributions of inclusions (droplets), and

Abstract in Spanish A pesar de que el mercado laboral sueco ha permanecido relativamente intacto durante la crisis económica en los últimos seis años, la integración de personas con capacidad laboral reducida a causa de discapacidades es significativamente menor que la de otros grupos sociales. La legislación sueca sobre discapacidad y trabajo cubre varios aspectos en medidas de integración, antidEven though the Swedish labour market has been more or less intact during the financial crisis in the past six years, persons with reduced working capacity due to disabilities are significantly less integrated in the labour market than other groups in society. Swedish legislation on disability and work provides for a number of different aspects of integrative measures, anti-discrimination and prov

In a broad range of species-including humans-it has been demonstrated that telomere length declines throughout life and that it may be involved in cell and organismal senescence. This potential link to ageing and thus to fitness has triggered recent interest in understanding how variation in telomere length is inherited and maintained. However, previous studies suffer from two main drawbacks that

The article discusses the identity, roles, and duties of the professional historian in an era in which the historical dimension is no longer a historian's monopoly. It is argued that the standard modern framework of understanding a historian as someone highly specialized in the production of 'new' history has to give way to a new understanding that situates the historian in historical culture, whi

1. Measurements of cell capacitance were used to investigate the mechanisms by which acetylcholine (ACh) stimulates Ca2+-induced exocytosis in single insulin-secreting mouse pancreatic B-cells. 2. ACh (250 microM) increased exocytotic responses elicited by voltage-clamp depolarizations 2.3-fold. This effect was mediated by activation of muscarinic receptors and dependent on elevation of the cytopl

The reliability of the correlation dimension estimation in short hydrological time series is investigated using an inverse approach. According to this approach, first predictions are made using the phase-space reconstruction technique and the artificial neural networks. The correlation dimension is estimated next independently and is compared with the prediction results. A short hydrological serie

Battered paperless women are a group in our society whose gender and paperless status makes them doubly vulnerable. UN:s Declaration of Human Rights expresses that all humans have an equal value and claims to be universal. But despite this, studies have shown that these vulnerable group of women do not feel they are getting the help they need from the social service in Sweden and that there is a d

Bangladesh is located in a danger area of the World. The geographical location makes the country vulnerable for tropical cyclones and other hazards. An increasing number of natural disasters such as floods, storms, and tropical cyclones, always keep the coastal people in a worst condition. Bangladesh government is not always fully successful in recovering the situation and gives a sustainable live

Det här examensarbetet ämnar undersöka hur de första åren ter sig för körledare som har en lärarexamen med fördjupning inom kör- och körledning på Musikhögskolan i Malmö och huruvida körledningsutbildningen har varit adekvat för arbetslivet. Vidare undersöks om de känner något behov av vidareutbildning inom körledningsområdet. Genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med fyra körledare framkommer deTitle: Being a choir leader - a qualitative study on choir leaders' work field. This paper means to describe the early years in a choir leader’s work field and investigate if the choir conducting education is adequate for the intended assignment of being a choir leader. The study also means to find out if choir leaders are in need of further education of choir leading. The study is based on fo

”Kan vi inte längre lita på dem som vi gett förtroende och makt urholkas samhällets legitimitet. Att bekämpa korruption handlar därför ytterst om att slå vakt om det demokratiska samhället.” Rättssäker myndighetsutövning, förtroendeskadligt beteende samt korruption är nyckelord i uppsatsen. Sverige bedöms i flera undersökningar som ett land utan större problem med korruption och att företeelsen “When we can no longer rely on those in whom we have placed our trust and have empowered, the legitimacy of society is undermined. Therefore, the fight against corruption is, to a high degree, a safeguard of democratic society” Authorities who follow the law in their actions and those whose behaviour damages trust are two opposite poles of great importance. In several studies, Sweden is graded a

This is a descriptive study with comparative elements. Two municipalities work with youth influence and participation is described and then compared. The material is based on interviews with politicians but also on interviews whit other key persons in this question in these two municipalities. The material is analyzed with the help of Robert Dahl's theory of power. The issue that the study is
