Cutting and Breaking the Embodied Self

This paper analyzes the Cutting and Breaking (C&B) events affecting the tangible aspects of the personal domain, that is to say the body and its parts. The study of the embodied Self, as the affected theme of C&B events, provides a unique opportunity to contribute to the understanding of the conceptualization of the personal domain, as well as providing an additional distinction between cu

Behaviour of freshwater snails (Radix balthica) exposed to the pharmaceutical sertraline under simulated predation risk

Due to their potential for affecting the modulation of behaviour, effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in the environment are particularly interesting regarding interspecies interactions and non-consumptive effects (NCEs) induced by predator cues in prey organisms. We evaluated the effects of sertraline (0.4, 40 ng/L, 40 µg/L) over 8 days on activity and habitat choice in the

Combined Proteomic-Molecular Epidemiology Approach to Identify Precision Targets in Brain Cancer

Primary brain tumors are predominantly malignant gliomas. Grade IV astrocytomas (glioblastomas, GBM) are among the most deadly of all tumors; most patients will succumb to their disease within 2 years of diagnosis despite standard of care. The grim outlook for brain tumor patients indicates that novel precision therapeutic targets must be identified. Our hypothesis is that the cancer proteomes of

Open Notes in Swedish Psychiatric Care (Part 1): Survey Among Psychiatric Care Professionals

Background: When the Swedish version of Open Notes, an electronic health record (EHR) service that allows patients online access, was introduced in hospitals, primary care, and specialized care in 2012, psychiatric care was exempt. This was because psychiatric notes were considered too sensitive for patient access. However, as the first region in Sweden, Region Skåne added adult psychiatry to its

Koncernredovisning

Denna bok beskriver och förklarar koncernredovisningens logik och teknik. Syftet är att både skapa principiell förståelse för koncernen som redovisningsenhet och god kunskap i koncernredovisningens teknik.

Phase control of attosecond pulses in a train

Ultrafast processes in matter can be captured and even controlled by using sequences of few-cycle optical pulses, which need to be well characterized, both in amplitude and phase. The same degree of control has not yet been achieved for few-cycle extreme ultraviolet pulses generated by high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in gases, with duration in the attosecond range. Here, we show that by varyi

Two-well quantum cascade laser optimization by non-equilibrium Green's function modelling

We present a two-quantum well THz intersubband laser operating up to 192 K. The structure has been optimized using non-equilibrium Green's function model. The result of this optimization was confirmed experimentally by growing, processing, and measuring a number of proposed designs. At high temperature (T > 200 K), the simulations indicate that lasing fails due to a combination of electron-electro

Technological Advancements in Affinity Proteomics : From planar antibody microarrays towards a solution-based platform

Abstract: Proteomics has the potential to deliver disease-associated biomarkers that could provide diagnostic, prognostic and predictive information to enable precision medicine. Affinity proteomics, most commonly based on antibodies and their ability to specifically capture target proteins, has emerged has a valuable tool in biomarker discovery. Our group has developed a recombinant antibody micr

Delimiting a saline water zone in Quaternary fluvial–alluvial deposits using transient electromagnetic : a case study in Punata, Bolivia

The semiarid Punata alluvial fan is located in the central part of Bolivia. The main activity of this region is the extensive agriculture, and groundwater is the main water supply. Local villagers who use groundwater reported that in some places groundwater has a salty taste. In order to investigate the origin of this problem, several TEM soundings were performed in the study area, and they were c

Association of walking pace and handgrip strength with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality : A UK Biobank observational study

Aims: To quantify the association of self-reported walking pace and handgrip strength with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Methods and results: A total of 230 670 women and 190 057 men free from prevalent cancer and cardiovascular disease were included from UK Biobank. Usual walking pace was self-defined as slow, steady/average or brisk. Handgrip strength was assessed by dynamomet

Två nya tripsarter (Thysanoptera) för Sverige samt tre nya landskapsfynd från Öland

Thorybothrips unicolor (Schille) and Tmetothrips subapterus (Haliday) have been recorded for the first time in Sweden, and the former is also new to the Nordic countries. Thrips dilatatus Uzel, Bolothrips icarus (Uzel) and Haplothrips acanthoscelis Karny are furthermore reported for the first time from the province of Öland. The rarest of the reported species are T. unicolor, which is included in

Benefit-sharing experience in national scale conservation incentives programs in Ecuador and Peru

and international research projects have attempted to measure andquantify the importance of ecosystem goods and services for people.Nowadays, it is safe to claim that ecosystems, through their naturalprocesses and functions, provide services that are essential for humanwell-being. However, in industrialized societies people often forgethow intricately our daily lives depend on natural ecosystems a

How predictions of economic behavior are affected by the socio-economic status of the target person

We investigate how the stereotype of the poor (vs. middle class) influences behavioral predictions. In Study 1 participants made predictions regarding another person’s economic behavior in scenarios pertaining to rate of time preferences (loss, gain of smaller and larger amount). We find that participants, across scenarios, expect individuals with low SES to show more short-sightedness, i.e., steeWe investigate how the stereotype of the poor (vs. middle class) influences behavioral predictions.
