This study aims at evaluating nutritional, toxicological, and sensory attributes of microwave heat-treated potato powder-supplemented unleavened flatbread. Straight-grade wheat flour (SGF) was substituted with potato powder at the rate of 2.5-10% d.w. A comparison was made for nutritional, antinutrient, and organoleptic attributes of microwave heat-treated potato powder and SGF - potato powder com

In this article we present the long-run gains of adopting a nutritious school meal program for Swedish children. During the 1960s, Sweden rolled out a universal program that provided nutritious school lunches free of charge to all children in Swedish primary schools. Our results show that the school lunch program generated substantial long-term benefits, where pupils exposed to the program during

Predicting pathogen emergence and spillover risk requires understanding the determinants of a pathogens host range and the traits involved in host competence. While host competence is often considered a fixed species-specific trait, it may be variable if pathogens diversify across hosts. Balancing selection can lead to maintenance of pathogen polymorphisms (multiple-niche-polymorphism; MNP). The c

Climate-driven geographic range shifts have been associated with transitions between dietary specialism and generalism at range margins. The mechanisms underpinning these often transient niche breadth modifications are poorly known, but utilization of novel resources likely depends on phenological synchrony between the consumer and resource. We use a climate-driven range and host shift by the butt

BACKGROUND: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent substances with surfactant and repellent properties. Municipal drinking water contaminated with PFAS had been distributed for decades to one third of households in Ronneby, Sweden. The source was firefighting foam used in a nearby airfield since the mid-1980s. Clean water was provided from December 16, 2013.AIMS: The purpose was

Objectives: SSc-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-APAH) is a late but devastating complication of SSc. Early identification of SSc-APAH may improve survival. We examined the role of circulating miRNAs in SSc-APAH. Methods: Using quantitative RT-PCR the abundance of mature miRNAs in plasma was determined in 85 female patients with ACA-positive lcSSc. Twenty-two of the patients had SSc

Previous research has paid little attention to the multiple meanings of the concept of forest restoration. To gain a more comprehensive view of forest restoration, this paper compares the US forest restoration debate of the 1940s and 1990s, in the disciplines of ecology and forestry. The paper focuses on historical approaches to pasts and futures, and on “sociotechnical imaginaries” providing soci

In recent years, because the cloud can provide huge advantages regarding storage and computing resources, industry has been motivated to move industrial control systems to the cloud. However, the cloud also introduces major security challenges, since moving control systems to the cloud can enable attackers to infiltrate the system and establish an attack that can lead to damages and disruptions wi

Den antiamerikanska vänstern har fått en märklig ny sängkamrat efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina: den ”realistiska” skolan inom internationella relationer, företrädd av den amerikanske professorn John Mearsheimer. Detta trots att realismen visat sig usel som prognosverktyg och att tron på den starkes rätt över den svage är något som annars brukar leda till protester – åtminstone mot USA, skriverDen antiamerikanska vänstern har fått en märklig ny sängkamrat efter Rysslands invasion av Ukraina: den ”realistiska” skolan inom internationella relationer, företrädd av den amerikanske professorn John Mearsheimer.

BACKGROUND: Patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer have a low likelihood of being cured and suffer from a broad spectrum of symptoms and problems that negatively affect their quality-of-life (QOL). Although the majority (67-75%) of patients at the time of diagnosis suffer from an incurable disease, research has primarily focused on the pre- and postoperative phase among patients treated with

In this third episode of the podcast Nic and Rebecca invite Jens Hoeijmakers to the mic and chat to him about ultra-hot Jupiters and their atmospheres. Thereafter they take a closer look at a comet, which is named after the its two discoverers: Michel Giacobini and Ernst Zinner.

Boken är en analys av den normandiska erövringen av England, med fokus på slaget vid Hastings, men med utförliga redogörelser för tiden före och efter drabbningen.

Boken är en översiktlig genomgång och analys av den antika världens sju underverk, med utblick mot liknande fenomen i modern tid.

The existing information supports the use of this material as described in this safety assessment. Octyl isobutyrate was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, phototoxicity/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety. Data from read-across analog hexyl isobutyrate (CAS # 2349-07-7) show that octyl isobutyrate is

Presentation av ett rättssociologiskt forskningsprojekt som replikerar en rättssociologisk undersökning om det allmänna rättsmedvetandet och brottsskadeersättningen. Att projektet är en ”replika” innebär att syftet har varit att göra en uppföljning av ett ursprungligt forskningsprojekt som i det aktuella fallet utgörs av de enkätundersökningar som presterades i avhandlingen ”Kränkning och upprätte

BACKGROUND: The Flow-Self Organizing Maps (FlowSOM) artificial intelligence (AI) program, available within the Bioconductor open-source R-project, allows for an unsupervised visualization and interpretation of multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) data.METHODS: Applied to a reference merged file from 11 normal bone marrows (BM) analyzed with an MFC panel targeting erythropoiesis, FlowSOM allowed to
