A new, and only the third known species of the Neotropical montane genus Oressinoma Doubleday is described—O. sorina n. sp., from the Andes of central Peru. It is distinguishable immediately from the other two congeners by the shape of the hindwing underside submarginal orange band, and by the male genitalia. The systematics of Oressinoma are reviewed. A preliminary analysis is carried out based o

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) serve as key priming sites for intestinal adaptive immune responses. Most of our understanding of GALT function and development arises from studies in mice. However, the diversity, structure and cellular composition of GALT differs markedly between mammalian species and the developmental window in which distinct GALT structures develop in large mammals remain

Though relatively slow in its uptake, policy measures to tackle environmental impacts against plastic packaging in Europe started to take up in recent years. As a citizen there has been some visible changes when purchasing products. However, there are still ways to go in regard to societal uptake and really reduce the use of unnecessary plastics as well as other packaging waste.

En byggnads och stilanalys visar koret sannolikt varit ett solitärt kapell byggt på 1000-talet. Genom dendrokronologiska dateringar har en sannolik datering till omkring 1120 också för det romanska måleriet framkommit. Två valvbärande kolonner visar sig vara av lokal Önnestadsyenit vilka har hämtats i blockterräng vid Djurröd och sannolikt polerats i Vä. Det sannolika polerverkat undersöktes på 19

Tourism enterprises play a vital role in tourism development. This has inspired scholarly and policy interest in the workings of tourism enterprises, particularly the small enterprises that account for the majority. The heterogeneity of small enterprises presents challenging terrain for scholars and policymakers concerned to understand and manage enterprise development and tourism development. Sch

AIMS: Our aim was to study the incidence of type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort of Swedish and Iraqi born individuals, focussing on traditional risk factors, insulin action, insulin secretion and ethnicity.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cohort consisted of 1164 Iraqi and 693 Swedish-born citizens. We investigated the association between new-onset type 2 diabetes and the predictors including l

Regional development is a dynamic process where relatively stable periods are interrupted by phases of more rapid transformation and disruption. Such dynamics are heavily influenced by the scope and nature of knowledge networks. Trust is a key mechanism influencing the mobilisation of networks for learning and innovation and thereby an important factor for understanding regional development. This

For low-order adaptive optics systems, a method that is able to correct for system aberrations in the final focal plane is presented. The paper presents a novel figure of merit, corresponding to the integrated non-normalized tip-tilt-free optical transfer function. The inherent singular value decomposition modal content of the interaction matrix is used to optimize this figure of merit. The method

Non-western immigrants have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes and earlier onset than non-immigrant Swedes. In this 10-year follow-up including all people in Sweden diagnosed with type 2 diabetes from 2006 onwards (i.e. prescribed glucose lowering medication for type 2 diabetes), the total and cause-specific mortality of first-generation immigrants with type 2 diabetes is lower than in non-imm

The involvement of health professionals in research may ensure the acquisition of relevant and sustainable knowledge that is applicable in practice. However, knowledge is lacking about how professionals experience being involved. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore how health professionals experienced the process of being involved in a project related to research on ageing and health.

Den här artikeln undersöker hur olika individer manifesterade sin person i byggnader under renässansen i Skåne. Genom en analys av stentavlor och träbjälkar med inskriptioner och bilder belyses frågor om identitet och individualitet. Föremålen placerades ofta ovanför dörrar i borgar och herrgårdar eller i byggnader som tillhörde städernas elit. Artikeln diskuterar vem som kunde se och förstå budsk

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) drives many fundamental biogeochemical processes (e.g., carbon storage, nutrient cycling, and soil development) in forest soil. However, the molecular-level characteristics of DOM derived from different types of tropical forest soils are poorly understood. Here, water samples at different soil depths (0, 20, and 40 cm) from tropical legume (Acacia auriculiformis, AA)

To enable the large-scale use of hydrogen fuel cells for mobility applications, convenient methods for on-board hydrogen storage and release need to be developed. A promising approach is liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), since these are safe, available on a large scale and compatible with existing re-fuelling infrastructure. Usually, LOHC dehydrogenation is carried out in batch-type reacto

Världens främsta universitet har radikalt färre studenter som läser på grundnivå och en mångdubbelt större forskarutbildning än de främsta svenska universiteten.Det skriver Torsten Åkesson, professor i partikelfysik vid Lunds universitet.
