Association between Adherence to Swedish Dietary Guidelines and Mediterranean Diet and Risk of Stroke in a Swedish Population

Dietary factors associated with stroke risk are still rather unknown. The aim was to examine the association between adherence to healthy dietary patterns and incidence of stroke among 25,840 individuals from the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort. Dietary data were obtained using a combination of a 7-day food record, diet questionnaire, and interview. A Swedish Dietary Guidelines Score (S

Politics Makes for Strange Bedfellows : Exigency and Sectarian Politics in Lebanon

The alliance between the seemingly disparate Lebanese Christian party Free Patriotic Movement and the Shi’a organization Hezbollah has survived many local and regional upheavals since the signing of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) in February 2006. The pact was strengthened after the 2006 summer war and has stood for 15 years - despite political assassinations and low-intensity conflict in L

Micellar crowding and branching in a versatile catanionic system

The catanionic system didodecyldimethylammonium bromide (DDAB)-sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC)-D2O is characterized by an exceptionally extended L1 region. The comparison of self-diffusion coefficient of the solvent and the DDAB embedded in the micelles provided information about hydration of the aggregates. Moreover, correlating self-diffusion and 14N NMR relaxation measurements new insight could

Childhood Growth and Socioeconomic Outcomes in Early Adulthood: Evidence from the Inter-War United States

Childhood malnutrition and its later life effects were important concerns in European and North American social policy in the early twentieth century. However, there have been few studies of the long-term socioeconomic consequences of malnutrition in childhood. We use a unique longitudinal dataset to provide credible causal estimates of the effects of childhood nutrition on early-adult educational

Det politiska skrattet : Satir och medborgarskap

Skratt är mångfacetterat. Vi skrattar när vi har kul. Vi skrattar på reflex. Vi skrattar när vi är nervösa, rädda eller frustrerade. Den här boken handlar om vad som händer när vi skrattar åt det politiska, åt politisk humor och satir. För trots satirens långa historia har den, förutom när den skapat kontrovers, inte riktigt tagits på allvar. Sakta börjar det förändras, och alltfler vänder blicken

The bimodal [Mg/Fe] versus [Fe/H] bulge sequence as revealed by APOGEE DR14

Context. The Galactic bulge has a bimodal metallicity distribution function: different kinematic, spatial, and, potentially, age distributions characterize the metal-poor and metal-rich components. Despite this observed dichotomy, which argues for different formation channels for those stars, the distribution of bulge stars in the ff-abundance versus metallicity plane has been found so far to be a

Abundances of disk and bulge giants from high-resolution optical spectra : III. Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni

Context. The formation and evolution of the Galactic bulge and the Milky Way is still a debated subject. Observations of the X-shaped bulge, cylindrical stellar motions, and the presumed existence of a fraction of young stars in the bulge have suggested that it formed through secular evolution of the disk and not through gas dissipation and/or mergers, as thought previously. Aims. Our goal was to

MCDHF and RCI calculations of energy levels, lifetimes, and transition rates in Si III and Si IV

We present extensive multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and relativistic configuration interaction calculations including 106 states in doubly ionized silicon (Si III) and 45 states in triply ionized silicon (Si IV), which are important for astrophysical determination of plasma properties in different objects. These calculations represents an important extension and improvement of earlier calcu

Schottky barrier heights at the interfaces between pure-phase InAs nanowires and metal contacts

Understanding of the Schottky barriers formed at metal contact-InAs nanowire interfaces is of great importance for the development of high-performance InAs nanowire nanoelectronic and quantum devices. Here, we report a systematical study of InAs nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) and the Schottky barrier heights formed at the contact-nanowire interfaces. The InAs nanowires employed are grown

A setup for studies of laminar flame under microwave irradiation

Plasma assisted combustion is a very active research field due to the potential of using the technology to improve combustion efficiency and decrease pollutant emission by stabilizing lean burning flames. It has been shown in a number of studies that a small amount of electrical energy can be deposited in the flame by applying microwaves, resulting in enhanced flame propagation and thus improved f
