Since the 19th century, urban lawns have gradually taken center stage to become one of the main sources of greening in many cities around the world. The current published research on planting technology, maintenance techniques, the impact of lawn maintenance, preferences for manicured lawns and the biodiversity protection for historical lawns as topics, has developed and increased over time.

INTRODUCTION: Genetic screening using high-throughput DNA sequencing has become a tool in diagnosing patients with suspected inherited bleeding disorders (IBD). However, its usefulness and diagnostic efficacy in children is unclear.AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of genetic screening for IBD in children and downstream further testing.METHODS: After informed consent, children (

With the potential to provide a clean break from massive multiple-input multiple-output, large intelligent surfaces (LISs) have recently received a thrust of research interest. Various proposals have been made in the literature to define the exact functionality of LISs, ranging from fully active to largely passive solutions. Nevertheless, almost all studies in the literature investigate the fundam

Dermal substitutes are of major importance in treating full thickness skin defects. They come in a variety of materials manufactured into various forms, such as films, hydrocolloids, hydrogels, sponges, membranes, and electrospun micro- and nanofibers. Bioactive dermal substitutes act in wound healing either by delivery of bioactive compounds or by being constructed from materials having endogenou

Detta kapitel handlar om en grupp barn som fick sina första erfarenheter av samhällsvård i 0-4-årsåldern. Därefter har de en varierande placeringshistoria under barndomen (0-18 år). De har följts upp vid åtta olika tillfällen under barndom och vuxenliv. Detta kapitel fokuserar på hur de hade det i 25-30-årsåldern samt i 35-39-årsåldern, eftersom det är glest med uppföljningar av barn med erfarenhe

I detta kapitel är syftet att ha fokus på yngre barn, det vill säga 0-12-åringar. I uppgiften att förstå sig på yngre barn ingår att ta i beaktande skillnader i utvecklingsnivå och behov hos spädbarn, förskolebarn och yngre skolbarn. Teoretiska perspektiv från utvecklingspsykologi, barndomssociologi, utvecklingspsykopatologi och utvecklingsekologi är användbara i detta sammanhang. Att se individen

The hepatic catabolism of chylomicron remnants in normal rats and in hypothyroid rats which were either normocholesterolaemic or made hypercholesterolaemic by feeding cholesterol and cholic acid was studied in vivo and in hepatocyte monolayers. In vivo, the clearance of injected chylomicron remnants labelled with either cholesteryl- or retinyl ester was delayed in the hypercholesterolaemic hypothy

Report detailing activities and experiences related to the 2018-2019 Urban Creativity research theme at the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies.

1. Hepatectomized rats were injected intravenously with doubly labelled ([14C]linoleic acid and [3H]palmitic acid) thoracic duct lymphs from rats fed cream, triolein or corn oil. The disappearance of the radioactive fatty acids of different molecular triacylglycerol species and of phospholipids from plasma was studied.2. 73–93% of the injected triacylglycerols had been cleared from plasma within 1

Neurons can be preconditioned against ischemic damage by a brief sublethal period of ischemia, applied several days before the second insult. Here we report on changes in the distribution and the levels of protein kinase Cγ (PKCγ) in nonconditioned and preconditioned rat hippocampal CA1 and neocortex regions after a 9 min ischemic episode induced by two-vessel occlusion ischemia. At the end of the

Abstract: Alterations in the levels and activity of Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase II (CaM‐kinase II) were studied in the rat hippocampus during and after insulin‐induced hypoglycemic coma. A permanent loss of CaM‐kinase II immunohistostaining in the neuronal layer begins at 10 min of isoelectricity in the tip of the dentate gyrus and at 30‐min isoelectricity in the CA1 region. The reduc

Following stress such as heat shock or transient cerebral ischemia, global brain protein synthesis initiation is depressed through modulation of eucaryotic initiation factor (eIF) activities, and modification of ribosomal subunits. Concomitantly, expression of a certain class of mRNA, heat-shock protein (HSP) mRNA, is induced. Here we report that the activity of eucaryotic initiation factor-2 (eIF

Abstract: The changes in the levels of tyrosine‐phosphorylated proteins in the cytosolic fraction of the rat hippocampus subjected to severe hypoglycemia were analyzed. A marked increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 43‐kDa protein was observed at 30 min of isoelectric EEG and 30 min and 1 h of recovery. Immunostaining of the same blot with antibody against mitogen‐activated protein (MAP) kinas

Systemic hyperglycemia and hypercapnia severely aggravate ischemic brain damage when instituted prior to cerebral ischemia. An aberrant cell signaling following ischemia has been proposed to be involved in ischemic cell death, affecting protein kinase C (PKC) and the calcium calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII). Using a cardiac arrest model of global brain ischemia of 10 min duration, we investigated the

Platelet aggregating sodium arachidonate was slowly infused into the internal carotid artery (1 mg, 100 µl, 1µl/s) of nitrous oxide anesthetized rats. The electroencephalographic activity recorded by a Cerebral Function Monitor from the injected hemisphere was reduced within minutes. The so matose nsory evoked responses to contralateral electrical stimulation of the whisker area were eliminated on
