Background and aims: Good Selenium (Se) status predicts favorable prognoses for various diseases and a reduced overall mortality. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether Selenium status, i.e. Selenoprotein P (SeP) levels, is associated with risk of 90-day mortality in elderly patients with acute dyspnea at the Emergency Department (ED). Methods and results: Patients presenting
Eclipsing binaries are important benchmark objects to test and calibrate stellar structure and evolution models. This is especially true for binaries with a fully convective M-dwarf component for which direct measurements of these stars' masses and radii are difficult using other techniques. Within the potential of M-dwarfs to be exoplanet host stars, the accuracy of theoretical predictions of the
Emotions are prominent in the construction of notions of citizenship. A good liberal-democratic citizen, for instance, cares about others, copes with differences and trusts the political system (Zembylas 2013). Increasing political polarization challenges teachers to prepare youth as citizens who can navigate ideological and affective boundaries (Keegan, 2021). More specifically, emotions play an
Several ribonucleases of the RNase A family function as antibacterial, anti-parasitic and anti-viral agents. In this work, we have shown that mRNAs encoding five of the six known human ribonucleases of the RNase A family are expressed in cultured human monocytes, and that ribonucleases are released by adherent monocytes in culture. Using a polyclonal antiserum prepared against recombinant protein,
The rapid changes in internet technology, coupled with Web 2.0 have created new and exciting ways of how we interact, socialize, and express ourselves. These new forms of socializations have been highly facilitated by Social Networking Sites (SNSs). These SNSs work as platforms for all types of information and entertainment experiences, creating a distinct culture of consumption of information and
Relationship marketing is getting more focus from researchers today. The idea of earning the trust and loyalty of customers by engaging in relationships has been put to practice in many retail areas.

Saint Olav His Cult The subject of this thesis is Saint Olav (995-1030) and his cult in medieval Scandinavia. He was canonized soon after his death, and he became a popular saint in the Scandinavian countries. With the help of the material and historical evidence of the cult of Saint Olav I here attempt to trace who was the driving force behind its expansion, as well as why the cult was spread wi
Abstract The significance of terrestrially derived iron (Fe) for marine ecosystems and its implications on other biogeochemical cycles is well recognised. It has been recently highlighted that the concentration of Fe in several Swedish rivers has increased strongly over the last 40 years. Four rivers draining into the Baltic Sea were used in the present study in order to assess the aggregation pr
A proposer to a marine insurance contract is subjected to a pre-contractual duty to disclose material information under the doctrine of utmost good faith (uberrimae fidei). The duty extends to comprise matters that concern moral hazard and the shipping company may consequently be required to volunteer information concerning the moral character of its owners, directors, employees and other agents c

Voluntourism is often described as a sustainable development strategy facilitating Global Learning and cross-cultural exchange. Initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the voluntourism program Weltwärts strives to create stronger international partnerships, development engagement, and equitable encounters. The practice of voluntourism is contested,
Food loss is of great importance considering its waste of natural resources and the negative environmental impact caused by the food industry. To reduce food loss, some actors donate, produce and retail what we here entitle circular food products: products made from food loss. However, the market for these types of products is neither stable or certain and there is a need for increasing the value

There are also youth and adolescents being placed in these facilities when their surroundings too have become a threat to their own wellbeing. The aim for this study was to find
Morphology, structure and chemistry have been investigated for 17 different commercial graphenegrades,all labeled as different kinds of graphene powder. For objectivity reasons, all powders have been given names as Graphene A-Q instead of their real product names. Out of the 17 tested powders, only Graphene A and B showed consistent results of being graphene-like. All powders have been characteriz
Denna uppsats handlade om antisocialt beteende kopplat till (upplevd) självförmåga (selfefficacy) och självkänsla (self-esteem). Syftet var att undersöka ifall det finns en korrelation mellan grad av antisocialt beteende och grad av självförmåga och självkänsla.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE, is a disease with a large variation of symptoms. Some patients have neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as cognitive dysfunction and epilepsy. The classification of patients into NPSLE, with neuropsychiatric symptoms, and non-NPSLE, without these symptoms, is uncertain. Studying the white matter microstructure of SLE patients and comparing this with healthy controls
