Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Bourke's parrots (Neopsephotus bourkii) are closely related birds with different activity patterns. Budgerigars are strictly diurnal while Bourke's parrots are active in dim twilight. Earlier studies show that the intensity threshold of colour vision is similar in both species while Bourke's parrots have larger eyes with a higher density of rods than budge
A measurement of the total pp cross section at the LHC at root s = 7 TeV is presented. In a special run with high-beta* beam optics, an integrated luminosity of 80 mu b(-1) was accumulated in order to measure the differential elastic cross section as a function of the Mandelstam momentum transfer variable t. The measurement is performed with the ALFA sub-detector of ATLAS. Using a fit to the diffe
CONTEXT: Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) gene cause rare syndromes characterized by altered bone mineral density (BMD). More common LRP5 variants may affect osteoporosis risk in the general population.OBJECTIVE: To generate large-scale evidence on whether 2 common variants of LRP5 (Val667Met, Ala1330Val) and 1 variant of LRP6 (Ile1062Val) are associated w
We present a detailed experimental and numerical study of the structural and dynamical properties of salt-free lysozyme solutions. In particular, by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data with neutron spin echo (NSE) and rheology experiments, we are able to identify that an arrest transition takes place at intermediate densities, driven by the slowing down of the cluster motion. Using
P>Few data illustrate the man's reaction to orchidectomy. We investigated long-lasting feelings of loss and uneasiness or shame about the body after removal of a testicle by orchidectomy. We identified 1173 eligible men diagnosed with non-seminomatous testicular cancer treated according to the national cancer-care programmes Swedish-Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group I-IV between 1981 and 2004. We
OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of improved glycemic control on the development and progression of retinopathy after the institution of insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes and to assess the relation to IGF-1 and hemostatic variables. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: In a prospective observational study, 45 type 2 diabetic patients were examined at baseline and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 month
Aims: Objectives were (a) to estimate healthcare cost and productivity losses due to smoking in Sweden 2001 and (b) to compare the results with studies for Sweden 1980, Canada 1991, Germany 1996, and the USA 1998. Methods: Published estimates on relative risks and Swedish smoking patterns were used to calculate attributable risks for smokers and former smokers. These were applied to cost estimates
Aim: To explore whether the phrasing of the questions and the response alternatives would influence the answers to questions about legalisation of euthanasia. Methods: Results were compared from two different surveys in populations with similar characteristics. The alternatives "positive'', "negative'', and "don't know'' (first questionnaire) were replaced with an explanatory text, "no legal sanct
The habitat distribution of red-listed plants, fungi and animals that have been found in the central parts of the parish of Stenbrohult, southern Sweden since 1970 is presented (Tables 1-4). In the centre of the 5 000 ha study area Carl Linnaeus was born in 1707, and he spent his summers there until 1727. In 1971-2002 at least 183 red-listed species have been found, with 73 wood-living beetle spec
Patienter som vårdas på intensivvårdsavdelningen (IVA) är kritiskt sjuka. Inter-nationella samt nationella studier visar på att många patienter kan efter att ha vårdats på IVA, få psykiska besvär så som ångest, depression och posttraumatisk stress (PTSD). En bidragande faktor för att utveckla dessa besvär har visat sig vara obehagliga och traumatiska minnen. Syftet med studien var att beskriva pat
Real-time 3D reconstruction is crucial for immersive AR/VR but is hard to achieve with traditional photogrammetry and mesh-based pipelines due to latency and limited scalability. Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) enable high-quality novel view synthesis but suffer from long training and slow rendering, while Gaussian Splatting (GS) achieves real-time rendering at the cost of heavy preprocessing and me
Denna studie undersöker hur villkoren för offentliga upphandlingar, styrda av Lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU), påverkar användarvänligheten av elektroniska journalsystem inom svensk sjukvård, med fokus på systemen Cosmic och Millennium/SDV. Genom en kvalitativ metod med intervjuer med vårdpersonal och experter, samt analys utifrån teorier som Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) och IS Success M
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia communicates and presents its nation brand through global sporting events, with particular focus on LIV Golf and the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Research Question: How does the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia communicate its nation brand through global sporting events? Methodology: The study adopts a qualitative research desi
This study discusses the effects of economic development on female labor force participation rates in Turkey in 1980-2000 within the framework of U-shaped hypothesis. In addition to the effects of economic development, other determinants of female labor force participation are also analyzed in five different econometric models. Descriptive statistics including time series evidences are exhibited i
Introduction. Sleeping difficulties are common in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). A sleep intervention with weighted blankets was designed to increase current understanding of using weighted blankets to target children’s individual needs in connection with sleep and daytime functioning. Aim. To explore how children with ADHD and sleeping difficulties experience the u
