Training of a New Generation of Talents Capable of Working Across Borders and Sectors, with an Inclusive Approach of Food Innovation: the Case of FIPDes, the ERASMUS Mundus Joint Master’s Degree in Food Innovation and Product Design

Training of a new generation of talents capable of working across borders and sectors, with an inclusive approach of food innovation: the case of FIPDes, the ERASMUS mundus joint master’s degree in food innovation and product design.Food innovation applied to sustainable growth is driven by different needs and constraints. Sensory and nutritional aspects of food, as well as convenience are individ

Skeletal effects of exercise in men

No prospective randomized study with fracture as end point exists in men. Data from retrospective and prospective observational and case control studies suggest that activity in men is associated with reduced fracture risk. This may be correct, but consistently replicated sampling bias may produce the same observation, as these studies are hypothesis generating, never hypothesis testing. Higher mu

Bone size and volumetric density in women with anorexia nervosa receiving estrogen replacement therapy and in women recovered from anorexia nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is associated with bone loss during adulthood, but may also delay skeletal growth and mineral accrual during growth. We asked the following questions. 1) Is anorexia nervosa associated with reduced bone size and reduced volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD)? 2) Is estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) or recovery from anorexia nervosa associated with normal bone size and vBMD? Using

Educational Policy and Discourse in Inclusion Research: A Theoretical Framework

This theoretical framework is developed for a research project regarding the specific case of the national policy process for Art and Music Schools in Sweden, a process to create national regulation for the first time in their history. The project focuses on inclusion of every child, but also specifically on inclusion of two particular groups of pupils: pupils in need of special support and refuge

Multiple-harmonic conversion of 1064 nm radiation in rare gases

The authors report the observation of very-high-order odd harmonics of Nd:YAG laser radiation in rare gases at an intensity of about 1013 W cm-2. Harmonic light as high as the 33rd harmonic in the XUV range (32.2 nm) is generated in argon. The key point is that the harmonic intensity falls slowly beyond the fifth harmonic as the order increases. Finally, a UV continuum, beginning at 350 nm and ext

Attosecond pulse trains generated in a filament

We present temporal characterization of attosecond pulse trains generated during selfguided propagation of intense pulses in a long gas target. Spectral phase jumps are observed, affecting the temporal shape of the attosecond pulse train.

Adrenaline Stimulates Glucagon Secretion by Tpc2-Dependent Ca2+ Mobilization From Acidic Stores in Pancreatic α-Cells

Adrenaline is a powerful stimulus of glucagon secretion. It acts by activation of β-adrenergic receptors, but the downstream mechanisms have only been partially elucidated. Here, we have examined the effects of adrenaline in mouse and human α-cells by a combination of electrophysiology, imaging of Ca2+ and PKA activity, and hormone release measurements. We found that stimulation of glucagon secret
