Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of face masks has increased among healthcare workers (HCWs). Questionnaire studies have shown a high frequency of self-reported facial adverse skin reactions. Case reports have been published on face mask-induced allergic contact dermatitis and urticaria. Objectives: To describe the results of the contact allergy investigations in consecutive HCWs

Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) has gained recent popularity mainly due to its attractive nutritional profile and its ability to grow under extreme conditions such as salinity, acidity, drought, flooding, and frost as well as the functionality of its component. Starch is the main component of quinoa grain which constitutes up to 60% of the dry grain and plays a crucial role in the functional pr

In this essay, I explore an innovative theme in the interfaces between theology, gender studies, aesthetic theory, and literary studies. More specifically, my aim is to shed light on fundamental theological conflicts underlying the immensely complex subject of the elevated status of "the beautiful woman" as image and idea in Western society. This will be implemented through a close reading of the

The outcome of catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is vastly analyzed by the entire P-wave duration (PWD). However, the first and second P-wave parts, corresponding to right (RA) and left atrial (LA) wavefront propagation, may be unequally modified. Five-minute lead II recordings before and after the first-ever CA of 40 parox-ysmal AF patients were analyzed and P-wave features were

During eyeblink conditioning, Purkinje cells that control blinking develop an inhibitory response to the conditional stimulus. This conditional response (CR) in the Purkinje cell shows a number of striking similarities to the overt blink CR, including adaptive timing. The evidence suggests that the Purkinje cell CR drives the overt CR. Recent results show that the Purkinje cell CR does not depend

The complex reactions of blood coagulation are balanced by several natural anticoagulants resulting in tuned hemostasis. During several decades, the knowledge base of the natural anticoagulants has greatly increased and we have also learned about antiinflammatory and cytoprotective activities expressed by antithrombin and activated protein C (APC). Some coagulation proteins have also been found to

Objective/context: In this article, I propose the concept of continuum of militancy to analyze the transformation of the political struggles of former FARC-EP women guerrilleras in the post-peace agreement, with a particular emphasis on the country’s northeastern region. Based on their narratives, I inquire about the transformation from armed struggle to feminist combat, as well as the tensions an

This thesis presents a qualitative study, which investigates how active members of various climate movements in Sweden utilize civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and their relationship with the political and legal systems. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with activists from Sweden, Hungary and Denmark, as well as observations of two court hearings. The stu

Sverige har som mål att öka produktionen av förnybar och fossilfri el. Den billigaste fossilfria energikällan är vindkraft och därav investeras det mer i vindkraft än tidigare. Storleken på vindkraftverken har ökat de senaste åren vilket höjt kraven på fundamenten. I denna studie analyserades ett cylinderformat bergförankrat vindkraftverksfundament. Fundamentet består av tre väsentliga komponenter

ABO compatibility is important for kidney transplantation, with longer waitlist times for blood group B kidney transplant candidates. However, kidneys from non-A1 (eg, A2) subtype donors, which express less A antigen, can be safely transplanted into group B recipients. ABO subtyping is routinely performed using anti-A1 lectin, but DNA-based genotyping is also possible. Here, we compare lectin and

This thesis aims to understand how gender euphoria is constructed by non-binary people, and how these experiences are embedded in ideas of masculinities and femininities. The theoretical point of departure involves the theorization of “doing gender” by West and Zimmerman, concepts from ethnomethodology inspired by Liberman, and finally “performative acts” by Butler. These theoretical points are re
