The aim of the study was to examine relationships between psychosocial family- and school environment and personality as assessed by the Junior Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-J) and possible personality interactional effects. The study was based on 244 Swedish girls and boys, 10-19 years old, who filled in the Family- and School Psychosocial Environment (FSPE) questionnaire and the EPQ-J.

Summary. Nonacog alfa, a recombinant factor IX (FIX) used for the treatment of haemophilia B, was approved in Europe in 1998. In accordance with European Medicines Agency requirements, a registry study was conducted from 2002 to 2009. A reformulated iso-osmotic version was approved for European use in 2007. This study was conducted to evaluate the safety of nonacog alfa in a usual care setting, an

A mechanism for three-photon double ionization of atoms by extreme-ultraviolet free-electron laser pulses is revealed, where in a sequential process the second ionization step, proceeding via resonant two-photon ionization of ions, is strongly enhanced by the excitation of ionic autoionizing states. In contrast to the conventional model, the mechanism explains the observed relative intensities of

The psychosocial work environment is an important factor in psychiatric in-patient care, and knowing more of its correlates might open up new paths for future workplace interventions. Thus, the aims of the present study were to investigate perceptions of the psychosocial work environment among nursing staff in psychiatric in-patient care and how individual characteristicsMastery, Moral Sensitivity

Abstract Mycobacterium marinum infection of the hand is rare. We report the case of a 39-year-old man with M marinum infection that resulted in a chronic soft tissue infection, extensor tendon synovitis, and arthritis of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints. The cause was probably tropical freshwater fishes.

Collaboration by two grounded theory researchers, who each had developed a learning continuum instrument, led to the emergence of a new tool for assessment of learning powered mobility use. We undertook a rigorous process of comparative reanalysis that included merging, modifying, and expanding our previous research findings. A new instrument together with its facilitating strategies emerged in th

The understanding of multiple bubbles condensation is of significant importance in developing continuum models for the large-scale subcooled flow boiling. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling for multiple bubbles condensation is developed with the volume of fluid (VOF) method in this work. An explicit transient simulation is performed to solve the governing equations including the sourc

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is a chronic glomerulonephritis with excessive glomerular deposition of IgA1, C3 and C5b-9, which may lead to renal failure.

The effect of previous light conditions on metabolite and transcript levels was investigated in leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana during illumination and after light-enhanced dark respiration (LEDR), when dark respiration was measured. • Primary carbon metabolites and the expression of light-responsive respiratory genes were determined in A. thaliana leaves before and after 30 min of darkness followi

Discrepancies in ABO grouping arise due to different reasons, posing a threat to patient safety. Underlying causes include mixed-field agglutination after transfusion, chimerism, fetomaternal exchange, or inheritance of unusual alleles resulting in weak A/B antigen expression. Cord blood from the infant of a group A2 B mother typed as group O, H+. Samples were investigated to elucidate this conund

Recreational physical activity in 25-year-old women in Sweden increases bone mineral density (BMD) in the trochanter by 5.5% when combining regularity and impact. Jogging and spinning were especially beneficial for hip BMD (6.4-8.5%). Women who enjoyed physical education in school maintained their higher activity level at age 25. INTRODUCTION: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of

In this work we have investigated the structures of aggregates formed in model systems of dilute aqueous mixtures of "model chromatin" consisting of either recombinant nucleosome core particles (NCPs) or nucleosome arrays consisting of 12 NCPs connected with 30 bp linker DNA, and liposomes made from different mixtures of cationic and zwitterionic lipids, 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane ch

We report the rheological and structural properties of a suspension comprising poly(ethylene oxide)-polystyrene-poly(ethylene oxide) core-shell micellar nanoparticles dispersed in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ionic liquid. A liquid to soft solid transition was observed at a copolymer concentration of 10 wt % above which an elastic soft material was formed, which was composed of

Fuel cells are promising with advantages of higher energy conversion efficiency and lower emissions of SOX, NOX, and CO2 than conventional power systems. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a high temperature fuel cell, which operates at 873-1273 K. This allows SOFCs to operate with different types of fuels from both fossil and renewable sources because of their general higher tolerance to contaminant

Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was applied to investigate dynamic changes in the plasma metabolome upon an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The OGTT is a frequently used diagnostic test of glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Diabetes is diagnosed either when glucose levels a parts per thousand yen7.0 mM in the fasting state or a parts per thousand yen11.0 mM at 2 h after
