Microalgal biomass may have biostimulating effects on plants and seeds due to its phytohormonal content, and harnessing this biostimulating effect could contribute to sustainable agriculture. Two Nordic strains of freshwater microalgae species Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus obliquus were each cultivated in a photobioreactor receiving untreated municipal wastewater. The algal biomass and the su

The optimal selection of characteristic bands and retrieval models for the hyperspectral retrieval of soil heavy metal concentrations poses a significant challenge. Additionally, satellite-based hyperspectral retrieval encounters several issues, including atmospheric effects, limitations in temporal and radiometric resolution, and data acquisition, among others. Given this, the retrieval performan

Kullaberg är Kullabygdens kännemärke, blickfånget där urberget reser sig mot öppen himmel och vidsträckt hav. Vid horisonten möts Öresund och Kattegatt. Detta stenmassiv har en geologi som går mångmiljoner år tillbaka. I skuggan av den väldiga klippformationen breder kulturlandskapet ut sig i all sin variationsrikedom. En jordbruksbygd, inbäddad i skog och äng, som vetter mot den kustnära buskvege

Bakgrund: Centraliseringen av hälso- och sjukvården har medfört ökade avstånd till akutsjukhus, vilket begränsat tillgängligheten till akutsjukvård för personer bosatta på landsbygden. Det medför ett högre krav på ambulanssjukvården att tillgodose befolkningen med god vård inom rimlig tid. Vidare kantas ambulanssjukvården på landsbygden av ytterligare faktorer som kan komma att påverka ambulanssju

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa som leder till självskadebeteende är ett komplext område som ökar i samhället. Det blir allt mer vanligt i unga åldrar. Vårdens bemötande är av betydelse för dessa patienter. Patienter med självskadebeteende är en stor samt ökande patientgrupp även inom ambulanssjukvården. Syfte: Arbetets syfte var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter med självs

Bakgrund: Ambulanspersonal inom prehospital akutsjukvård ställs ofta inför olika stressfyllda händelser. Olika sorters stressorer förekommer med varierande frekvens och påverkar ambulanspersonal både fysiskt och psykiskt. Stresshantering är en essentiell del i ambulanspersonalens yrke och det finns olika metoder som kan användas för att reducera den arbetsrelaterade stressen som förekommer i yrket

Aims: Iron deficiency (ID) is comorbid in up to 50% patients with heart failure (HF) and exacerbates disease burden. Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) reduced HF hospitalizations and improved quality of life when used to treat ID at discharge in patients hospitalized for acute HF with left ventricular ejection fraction

We use data from the 17th data release of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE 2) to contrast the chemical composition of the recently discovered Gaia Enceladus/Sausage system (GE/S) to those of 10 Milky Way (MW) dwarf satellite galaxies: LMC, SMC, Boötes I, Carina, Draco, Fornax, Sagittarius, Sculptor, Sextans, and Ursa Minor. Our main focus is on the distributions o

Background: OSA is a common sleep-breathing disorder linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Intermittent upper airway obstruction and hypoxia, hallmarks of OSA, have been shown in animal models to induce substantial changes to the gut microbiota composition, and subsequent transplantation of fecal matter to other animals induced changes in BP and glucose metabolism. Research Question:

Context. Reconstructing how all the stellar components of the Galaxy formed and assembled over time by studying the properties of the stars that form it is the aim of Galactic archaeology. Thanks to the launch of the ESA Gaia astrometric mission and the development of many spectroscopic surveys in recent years, we are for the first time in the position to delve into the layers of the past of the G

The high-prevalence blood group antigen, Sda, had been puzzling blood bankers and transfusionists for at least a decade when it was reported in 1967. The characteristic mix of agglutinates and free red blood cells (RBCs), caused by anti-Sda, is seen with the RBCs from 90 percent of individuals of European descent. However, only 2-4 percent of individuals are truly Sd(a-) and may produce anti-Sda.

The management of breast cancer during pregnancy (PrBC) is a relatively rare indication and an area where no or little evidence is available since randomized controlled trials cannot be conducted. In general, advances related to breast cancer (BC) treatment outside pregnancy cannot always be translated to PrBC, because both the interests of the mother and of the unborn should be considered. Eviden

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which was initially identified as a type of autoimmune pancreatitis around the year 2000, is now widely acknowledged to be a systemic sickness. Based on both general and organ-specific criteria, alongside laboratory measurements of IgG4-subtype, the diagnosis is made. The diagnosis requires, however, a heightened index of suspicion, especially given the

Residual stress is of great importance on the fatigue life of components; nevertheless, most of the simulations of turning operation focus on the first cut and ignore the evolution of residual stress in sequential cutting. The present study aims to explore the surface residual stress profile along the feed direction during longitudinal turning, to understand the impact of sequential cuts on turnin

Cuerpo-territorio is a method stemming from Latin American geography, which recognizes the centrality of situated and embodied experiences as a form of knowing. We engaged with this method in the classroom to understand how students through their embodied and situated experiences had absorbed a post-development geographic course content and how these notions had remained with them. Given that emot

The problem of finding maximum (or minimum) witnesses of the Boolean product of two Boolean matrices (MW for short) has a number of important applications, in particular the all-pairs lowest common ancestor (LCA) problem in directed acyclic graphs (dags). The best known upper time-bound on the MW problem for n × n Boolean matrices of the form O(n2.575) has not been substantially improved since 200

Neonicotinoids, systemic insecticides that are distributed into all plant tissues and protect against pests, have become a common part of crop production, but can unintentionally also affect non-target organisms, including pollinators. Such effects can be direct effects from insecticide exposure, but neonicotinoids can affect plant physiology, and effects could therefore also be indirectly mediate

Aims/hypothesis: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) frequently results in remission of type 2 diabetes as well as exaggerated secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Here, we assessed RYGB-induced transcriptomic alterations in the small intestine and investigated how they were related to the regulation of GLP-1 production and secretion in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Human jejunal sample
