Nomenclatural and morphological notes on the rare agamid lizard pseudocophotis sumatrana (Hubrecht, 1879) (squamata : Agamidae: Draconinae)

The earless, nose-horned agamid lizard Pseudocophotis sumatrana is only represented by a few specimens in collections worldwide. We discovered a historical publication from 1855 by van der Hoeven where the species was described as Calotes nasicornis before the currently accepted original description by Hubrecht in 1879. In order to uphold nomenclatural stability, we provide proof that Calotes nasi

Real-time accelerator diagnostic tools for the max iv storage rings

In this paper, beam diagnostic and monitoring tools developed by the MAX IV Operations Group are discussed. In particular, beam position monitoring and accelerator tunes visualization software tools, as well as tools that directly influence the beam quality and stability, are introduced. An availability and downtime monitoring application is also presented.

Refugees’ Integration in the Built Environment: The Sweden Case

The resettlement and integration of a displaced population into a new society faces a plethora of challenges. These range from lack of national legal frameworks to plan and implement planned relocation, to the absence of a long-term vision, inadequate funds, and poor institutional structures. The 3-year EU Erasmus+ funded REGARD Project (REbuildinG AfteR Displacement) set out to address some of th

Behandling av självskadande patienter i heldygnsvård: Fynd från forskningen

Rapporten du har framför dig handlar om hur vi bör utformaheldygnsvård för patienter med självskadebeteende. Även omdet har utvecklats fler och bättre behandlingsalternativ inomöppenvården behöver vi en god och välfungerande slutenvårdvid de tillfällen det är nödvändigt. För att göra det behöver vi vetavad den vården som ges idag har för effekter och undersöka vadsom skulle kunna göra den bättre.

Structure-function study of cathelicidin-derived bovine antimicrobial peptide BMAP-28 : design of its cell-selective analogs by amino acid substitutions in the heptad repeat sequences

Although BMAP-28 is a potent cathelicidin-derived bovine antimicrobial peptide, its cytotoxic activity against the human and other mammalian cells is of concern for converting it into a novel antimicrobial drug. We have identified a short leucine and isoleucine zipper sequences at the N- and C-terminals of BMAP-28, respectively. To understand the possible role of these structural elements in BMAP-

Moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin induces S-phase arrest and augments apoptotic effects of cisplatin in human pancreatic cancer cells via ERK activation

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer, one of the most dreadful gastrointestinal tract malignancies, with the current chemotherapeutic drugs has posed a major impediment owing to poor prognosis and chemo-resistance thereby suggesting critical need for additional drugs as therapeutics in combating the situation. Fluoroquinolones have shown promising and significant anti-tumor effects on several carcinoma c

Risks in the visual environment such as glare, illuminance, and luminance ratio - risk assessments made with visual ergonomics risk assessment method - VERAM - a descriptive paper

The visual environment has an impact on subjective strain and headaches. A visual ergonomics risk assessment method, VERAM, was used on 217 workplaces, and consists of both of a subjective questionnaire and an objective risk assessment, the objective risks are presented in this paper. The risk for daylight was assessed to be yellow (risk) or red (high risk) at 53% of the workplaces and the risk foThe visual environment has an impact on subjective strain and headaches.

Soil greenhouse gas emissions from a sisal chronosequence in Kenya

Sisal (Agave sisalana) is a climate-resilient crop grown on large-scale farms in semi-arid areas. However, no studies have investigated soil greenhouse gas (GHGs: CO2, N2O and CH4) fluxes from these plantations and how they relate to other land cover types. We examined GHG fluxes (Fs) in a sisal chronosequence at Teita Sisal Estatein southern Kenya. The effects of stand age on Fs were examined usi

Genetic Predisposition to Sporadic and Familial Multiple Myeloma

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is the second most common hematological malignancy. It is defined by an uncontrolled growth of plasma cells, usually in the bone marrow. Clinically it is complicated by hypercalcemia, renal failure, anaemia, and bone pain. Although recent advances in the treatment have extended survival and quality-of-life considerably, MM remains a fatal disease.Since the 1920’s MM has been

A Low-Voltage 6T Dual-Port Configured SRAM with Wordline Boost in 28 nm FD-SOI

A 32 Kb dual-port low-voltage SRAM in 28 nm FD-SOI, featuring foundry supplied high-density 6T bitcells, is presented. Dual-port configurability is realized by a unique dual-rail architecture, utilizing boost techniques that guarantee reliable operation in low-voltage. The area cost of the array is 62% lower, compared to widely used 8T two-port or dual-port SRAM arrays. The SRAM reliably operates

Prevalence of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease

Aims: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of the multidimensional phenomenon of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease. Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population, and patient-reported outcomes can provide valuable information about the patient's experience of living with CHD. Fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that can

The wait time to primary surgery in endometrial cancer–impact on survival and predictive factors : a population-based SweGCG study

Background: Poor survival rates in different cancer types are sometimes blamed on diagnostic and treatment delays, and it has been suggested that such delays might be related to sociodemographic factors such as education and ethnicity. We examined associations of the wait time from diagnosis to surgery and survival in endometrial cancer (EC) and explored patient and tumour factors influencing the

Stillbirth or neonatal death before 45 post-menstrual weeks in relation to gestational duration in pregnancies at 39 weeks of gestation or beyond : the impact of parity and body mass index. A national cohort study

Objective: To investigate the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death before 45 post-menstrual weeks in relation to gestational duration, stratified by body mass index (BMI) and parity. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Data from the Swedish Medical Birth Register. Population: Singleton, cephalic births at between 39+0 and 42+2 weeks of gestation, 2005–2016 (n = 892 339). Methods: Relative risk r
