Kreativitets- och långtidsminnesprocesserna har till synes vissa gemensamma beröringspunkter och är i någon utsträckning funktionsmässigt beroende av varandra. Frågan är hur starkt sambandet mellan processerna är; om en individ uppvisar en god kreativitet, har individen då vanligtvis även en god långtidsminnesförmåga? Syftet med studien var att praktiskt testa detta samt belysa eventuella förekomsThe process of creativity and long term memory are to some extent functionally interdependent. The question is how strong the relation between these processes are; if an individual possesses a high creative ability, does the individual also then usually have a high long term memory capacity? The purpose of this study was to test this in practice and highlight any instances of demographic differenc

Uppsatsen Svenska kyrkans insats vid kriser och katastrofer är skriven av Frida Einarsson vid Lunds universitet, Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap, och framlagd 5 november 2012. Jag har valt att ägna mitt arbete åt att studera Svenska kyrkans insatser vid kriser och katastrofer. Jag hävdar att det är ett intressant faktum att Svenska kyrkans lite ”undanskymda” roll i dagens samhälle för

Praxis från AD visar att även ett starkt alkoholberoende kan likställas med en kronisk alkoholism och därmed kan också dessa personer omfattas av det förstärkta anställningsskyddet som träder i kraft vid sjukdom. Osäkerheten kring sjukdomsdefinitionen gör det näst intill omöjligt att avgränsa arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar i situationer orsakade av alkoholmissbruk. En utgångspunkt är att arb

This paper intends to test the effects of improved property rights on the living situation for families in peripheral areas in Lima, Peru. The purpose of the study is to identify the mechanisms by which titling programs affect the quality of life for urban poor. The study focuses on access to credit, housing quality and allocation of labor. A survey was carried out in poor neighborhoods in Lima to

This paper evaluates the Swedish school reform that was implemented in 1992, at upper secondary school level. The reform implies that independent schools are welcome to compete on the school market and are publicly funded. This reform has led to an increase in the share of students attending independent schools. Several estimations are performed in this paper on what impact this increase of compet

The positive δ13C excursion associated with the Late Silurian Lau Event (approximately 420 Ma) is recognized globally and considered to be one of the most prominent carbon isotope excursions of the Phanerozoic. Its maximum values are exceeded only by values from the Proterozoic. Over the last years the Lau Event has been studied in great detail on the island of Gotland, Sweden (Baltica palaeoconti

I västvärlden har övervikt och fetma bland barn ökat de senaste decennierna. Flera studier har visat att övervikt ofta följer individen genom livet och ökar riskerna för följdsjukdomar. Syftet med denna enkätstudie var att undersöka hur svenska BVC-sjuksköterskor (n=34) identifierar och agerar vid övervikt och fetma hos barn. Det framkom att barnövervikt och fetma i huvudsak ansågs vara ett geneti

Resolving challenges related to the sustainability of natural capital and ecosystem services is an urgent issue. No roadmap on reaching sustainability exists; and the kind of sustainable land use required in a world that acknowledges both multiple environmental boundaries and local human well-being presents a quandary. In this commentary, we argue that a new globally consistent and expandable syst

Purpose. This research describes and evaluates a liposuction surgery and multidisciplinary rehabilitation approach for advanced lymphedema of the upper and lower extremties. Methods. A prospective clinical study was conducted at an Advanced Lymphedema Assessment Clinic (ALAC) comprised of specialists in plastic surgery, rehabilitation, imaging, oncology, and allied health, at Macquarie University,

Coeliac disease (CD) is becoming a model for understanding the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. In CD, antibodies against transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and specific glutamine residues of gliadins have been identified. A similar situation is seen in rheumatoid arthritis with both anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and auto-antibodies against the citrullinating enzyme, peptidylarginine deim

OBJECTIVE - Whole-grain foods are touted for multiple health benefits including enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing type 2 diabetes risk Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with fasting glucose and insulin concentrations in individuals free of diabetes We tested the hypothesis that whole-grain food intake an

Regional vegetation-climate modelling studies have typically focused on boreal or temperate ecosystems in North America and Europe, almost completely overlooking tropical ecosystems. We present the first results of simulated regional vegetation-climate dynamics in Middle America as simulated by the model, LPJ-GUESS. The Kappa statistic indicated poor agreement, with a Kappa value of 0.301. When we

The modern medical treatment of HIV with antiretroviral therapy (ART) has drastically reduced the morbidity and mortality in patients infected with this virus. ART has also been shown to reduce the transmission risk from individual patients as well as the spread of the infection at the population level. This position statement from the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Swedish Reference Group

The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) wastewater treatment process is usually designed based on the assumption that all activity in the process occurs in the biofilm on the MBBR carriers, although there is always some active biomass in the bulk liquid due to biofilm sloughing and, sometimes, free-growing bacteria. In this study the removal of organic matter is evaluated in laboratory-scale MBBR re

Background-Subendothelial deposited low-density lipoprotein particles are a known inflammatory factor in atherosclerosis. However, the causal components derived from low-density lipoprotein are still poorly defined. Apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100) is the unexchangeable protein component of low-density lipoprotein, and the progression of atherosclerosis is associated with immune responses to ApoB100-
