Mapping sociodemographic and geographical differences in human papillomavirus non-vaccination among young girls in Sweden

Aims:Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination plays a key role in the prevention of cervical cancer. Yet, disparities in HPV vaccination in Sweden have persisted. Previous research on such disparities has typically focused on singular sociodemographic variables and measures of average risk. Using a multi-categorical approach and drawing on intersectionality theory, this study aimed to provide a more

Metabolic engineering of Pseudomonas putida for production of vanillylamine from lignin-derived substrates

Whole-cell bioconversion of technical lignins using Pseudomonas putida strains overexpressing amine transaminases (ATAs) has the potential to become an eco-efficient route to produce phenolic amines. Here, a novel cell growth-based screening method to evaluate the in vivo activity of recombinant ATAs towards vanillylamine in P. putida KT2440 was developed. It allowed the identification of the na

Environmental modifiers of the relationship between water table depth and Ellenberg's indicator of soil moisture

Ellenberg indicator values for plant species are widely used metrics in ecology, providing a proxy measure of environmental conditions, without direct measurements. They integrate environmental conditions over time since species will only persist where conditions are favourable. Ellenberg moisture (F) values summarise the hydrological environment experienced by plants. However, the relationship be

Modeling the energy consumption of potable water reuse schemes

Potable reuse of municipal wastewater is often the lowest-energy option for increasing the availability of fresh water. However, limited data are available on the energy consumption of potable reuse facilities and schemes, and the many variables affecting energy consumption obscure the process of estimating energy requirements. By synthesizing available data and developing a simple model for the e

Evolution of the sex pheromone communication system in ostrinia moths

It remains a conundrum in the evolution of sexual communication how the signals and responses can co-ordinate the changes during speciation. The genus Ostrinia contains several closely related species as well as distinctive strains with pheromone polymorphism and represents an ex-ample of ongoing speciation. Extensive studies in the genus, especially in the species the European corn borer O. nubil

Motivationspsykologiska teorier : Att väcka elevernas intresse

Sammanfattningsvis kan Självbestämmandeteorin (SDT) tillämpas av lärare för att stärka elevers motivation och välbefinnande. Däremot är det inte säkert att alla elever därigenom kommer att höja sin inre motivation eller sina studieresultat. Vissa elever är helt ointresserade av vissa ämnen och i avsaknad av motivation krävs mer än att tillämpa SDT. Vidare kan inte enbart ett förändrat klassrumskli

Whole-genome sequencing and genome regions of special interest : Lessons from major histocompatibility complex, sex determination, and plant self-incompatibility

Whole-genome sequencing of non-model organisms is now widely accessible and has allowed a range of questions in the field of molecular ecology to be investigated with greater power. However, some genomic regions that are of high biological interest remain problematic for assembly and data-handling. Three such regions are the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), sex-determining regions (SDRs) an

From Strategic Opportunity to Existential Imperative : Sustainability discourses in fashion retail.

Organisations that deviate from ethical expectations regarding their behaviour risk damaging their image and, hence, threatening their very survival (refs.). Contemporary representations of fashion retail in media and popular culture—which depict fashion retail as a key contributor to the climate crisis—are, therefore, a challenge for retailers in general and for fashion retailers in particular. I

Liturgical Representations of Saint Birgitta : The Versified Offices by Birgerus Gregorii and Nicolaus Hermanni

Slutsatsen av denna undersökning är att Birger Gregersson has skrivit ett skickligt utformat, något pompöst officium som förmedlar en bild av Birgitta som ett helt och hållet universellt helgon och samtidigt en utsökt prydnad för sitt eget land. Nils Hermansson har å sin sida givit oss en Birgitta som i sitt liv och sin undervisning är en trogen dotter till Jungfru Maria och en kyrkolärare. Nils H

The GALAH survey : Chemical homogeneity of the Orion complex

Due to its proximity, the Orion star forming region is often used as a proxy to study processes related to star formation and to observe young stars in the environment they were born in. With the release of Gaia DR2, the distance measurements to the Orion complex are now good enough that the 3D structure of the complex can be explored. Here we test the hypothesis that, due to non-trivial structure

The architects and the residents are in charge of the indoor temperature

Reduced energy consumption is an important strategy for climate change mitigation. Buildings, worldwide, accounts for 40 % of the primary energy use and 24 % of greenhouse gas emissions.There are studies and publications indicating that problems with high indoor temperature during summer are increasing in residential buildings designed as passive houses and low-energy buildings.The objective of th
