Nutrient policies and the performance of aquaculture in developed countries – a literature review

Eutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution. Nutrient polices in developed countries are often command-and-control policies that may have contributed to the slow growth of the sector. We perform a literature review to investigate how current nutrient polices affect the sector and if econEutrophication is a serious problem in many parts of the world, and aquaculture production can contribute to the problem as well as be part of its solution.

Wetlands as a Local Scale Management Tool to Reduce Algal Growth Potential

Recent land-use changes have led to a significant loss of natural wetlands worldwide resulting in increased amounts of organic and inorganic compounds reaching lakes and coastal areas. In turn, this has led to an increased algal growth, and subsequently the risk of algal blooms and deteriorated water quality. The capacity of wetlands to retain nutrients is well-known, suggesting that constructed w

Epidemiology and clinical characteristics of biopsy-confirmed adult-onset IgA vasculitis in southern Sweden

Objective Immunoglobulin A vasculitis (IgAV) is the most prevalent primary childhood vasculitis in Sweden, but is considerably rarer in adults. This study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and renal outcome of adult-onset IgAV in Skåne, Sweden. Methods The study area consisted of Skåne, the southernmost region of Sweden, with a population ≥18 years of 990 464 on 31 Decemb

Regulation of autophagy by perilysosomal calcium : a new player in β-cell lipotoxicity

Autophagy is an essential quality control mechanism for maintaining organellar functions in eukaryotic cells. Defective autophagy in pancreatic beta cells has been shown to be involved in the progression of diabetes through impaired insulin secretion under glucolipotoxic stress. The underlying mechanism reveals the pathologic role of the hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), w

Risk for psychiatric and substance use disorders as a function of transitions in Sweden's public educational system : a national study

BACKGROUND: To clarify, in a national sample, associations between risk for seven psychiatric and substance use disorders and five key transitions in Sweden's public educational system. METHODS: Swedish-born individuals (1972-1995, N = 1 997 910) were followed through 12-31-2018, at mean age 34.9. We predicted, from these educational transitions, risk for major depression (MD), obsessive-compulsiv

Imaging in gynecological disease (27) : clinical and ultrasound characteristics of recurrent ovarian stromal cell tumors

Objective: To describe the clinical and ultrasound characteristics of recurrent granulosa cell and Sertoli–Leydig cell tumors. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study performed at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, IRCCS, Rome (Gemelli center). Patients with a histological diagnosis of recurrent granulosa cell tumor o

Comparison of histological delineations of medial temporal lobe cortices by four independent neuroanatomy laboratories

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) cortex, located adjacent to the hippocampus, is crucial for memory and prone to the accumulation of certain neuropathologies such as Alzheimer's disease neurofibrillary tau tangles. The MTL cortex is composed of several subregions which differ in their functional and cytoarchitectonic features. As neuroanatomical schools rely on different cytoarchitectonic definition

”Snabbt ställda diagnoser riskerar att slå fel”

Patientsäkerheten är hotad vid neuropsykiatriska utredningar, och främst gäller det adhd och autism. Alltför snäva tidsramar ger inte utrymme för den noggrannhet som krävs vid utredningar, skriver flera debattörer.

Frågan om anonymiserade examinationer ur ett pedagogiskt perspektiv

Anonymisation of assessments has been discussed for decades. It stems from a concern about unduly bias in assessment and grading. In Sweden, anonymised assessments were introduced in many universities a decade ago. It was rarely preceded by discussions on potential pedagogical consequences. Recent research on the effects of anonymisation does not confirm the hypothesis of reduced bias in grading.

Why do people make noises in bed?

Many primates produce copulation calls, but we have surprisingly little data on what human sex sounds like. I present 34 h of audio recordings from 2239 authentic sexual episodes shared online. These include partnered sex or masturbation, but each recording has only one main vocalizer (1950 female, 289 male). Both acoustic features and arousal ratings from an online perceptual experiment with 109

Search for Dark Photons in Rare Z Boson Decays with the ATLAS Detector

A search for events with a dark photon produced in association with a dark Higgs boson via rare decays of the standard model Z boson is presented, using 139 fb^{-1} of sqrt[s]=13 TeV proton-proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The dark boson decays into a pair of dark photons, and at least two of the three dark photons must each decay into a pair of el

On mathematics and physics teaching in upper-secondary school

This article reports on physics teaching in upper-secondary school with a focus on communication and relations made between mathematics, theoretical models in physics, and reality.Video data from four physics classrooms in three different teaching contexts, i.e., lessons, problemsolving, and lab work, have been analysed by combining two theoretical frameworks: the TernaryFramework and Joint Action

Effect of kilning on the macronutrient composition profile of three Swedish oat varieties

Background and ObjectivesKilning is crucial in oat processing, to prevent rancidity and extend shelf-life. This study examines kilning effects on the macronutrient composition in Swedish oat varieties Galant, Fatima, and Belinda. We compared two kilning methods: one mimicking industrial practice and a simplified version. We analyzed dietary fibers (arabinoxylan, β-glucan), protein and amino acids,

Cancer-associated fibroblasts rewire the estrogen receptor response in luminal breast cancer, enabling estrogen independence

Advanced breast cancers represent a major therapeutic challenge due to their refractoriness to treatment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the most abundant constituents of the tumor microenvironment and have been linked to most hallmarks of cancer. However, the influence of CAFs on therapeutic outcome remains largely unchartered. Here, we reveal that spatial coincidence of abundant CAF in

C-H activation with heterogenous N-Heterocyclic palladium complexes: Synthesis and Evaluation of ligand-directed catalysis

C-H activation with transition metal catalysts is one the most intense areas of research today and new advancements aid in the production of bulk chemicals, simplifying synthetic routes and transforming inert substrates into functionalized ones. By attempting to synthesize two N- heterocyclic palladium complexes (1 and 2, complex 3 is received) heterogenous, ligand- directed halogenation of substr

Berättelser om verkligheten : från magnetband till mp3

Swedish public service radio has during its almost 100 years undergone several transformations due to technical, societal and cultural changes. A transformation still in motion can be attributed to the arrival of the internet, the digitalization of the recording, storage and distribution of sound, as well as the fast paced evolution of the global media landscape. When the mp3-file and the internet
