Den etnografiskt okänsliga etikgranskningen

Applying for ethical review is common among many social scientists today, even for projects very far from the bio-medical origins and design of the review process. This article critically discusses the clash between ethical review and ethnography in a Swedish context. It is argued that today’s committee-driven and form-based review fits poorly with research built on flexible, pragmatic and emergen

Sustainable welfare without growth

All growth‐critical perspectives have the common starting point that the ecological crisis and the increase in social inequality are basic features of high‐consumption capitalism and its spread from North America and Europe to the rest of the world. The common goal is thus to re‐embed productionand consumption patterns into planetary limits through a decrease in material and energy throughputs, pa

Reduced annealing temperature for ferroelectric HZO on InAs with enhanced polarization

Deposition, annealing, and integration of ferroelectric Hf x Zr 1 - x O 2 (HZO) thin films on the high-mobility semiconductor InAs using atomic layer deposition are investigated. Electrical characterization reveals that the HZO films on InAs exhibit an enhanced remanent polarization compared to films formed on a reference TiN substrate, exceeding 20 μ C / cm 2 even down to an annealing temperature

End-of-life care among older cancer patients with intellectual disability in comparison with the general population : a national register study

BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy for people with an intellectual disability (ID) is resulting in more persons with cancer and a greater need for end-of-life (EoL) care. There is a need for knowledge of health care utilisation over the last year of life to plan for resources that support a high quality of care for cancer patients with ID. Therefore, the aims of the study were to compare (1) h

Specialist psychiatric health care utilization among older people with intellectual disability - predictors and comparisons with the general population : a national register study

BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disability (ID) face considerable barriers to accessing psychiatric health care, thus there is a risk for health disparity. The aims of the present study were 1) to compare specialist psychiatric health care utilization among older people with ID to that with their age peers in the general population, taking into account demographic factors and co-morbidities a

Ambivalence among staff regarding ageing with intellectual disabilities : Experiences and reflections

This study explores the experiences and reflections of staff in intellectual disability (ID) services concerning ageing with ID. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 staff members in group homes and daily activity centres. The findings showed that the staff were uncertain about the signs of ageing in people with intellectual disabilities; they compared the life conditions of these people

Public Attitudes about Urban Lawns : Social Opportunities Provided by Urban Lawns in Lund, Sweden

Since the 19th century, urban lawns have gradually taken center stage to become one of the main sources of greening in many cities around the world. The current published research on planting technology, maintenance techniques, the impact of lawn maintenance, preferences for manicured lawns and the biodiversity protection for historical lawns as topics, has developed and increased over time.

[Aldosterone reception by a kidney membrane fraction and cytosol from rats in postnatal ontogeny]

Specific binding of aldosterone by crude membrane fraction, the affinity and maximal concentration of cytosolic receptors of aldosterone were studied in the kidney cortex of the Wistar rats as well as the plasma level and adrenal biosynthesis of aldosterone. The specific binding of aldosterone was found to increase in membrane fraction and to decrease in cytosol during kidney maturation. The affin

[The effect of aldosterone on the second messenger systems in the rat kidney]

The effect of aldosterone on the cAMP level, the state of inositol-phosphate pool and the intracellular free Ca2+ activity in the rat kidney, were studied. The cAMP level in the kidney cortex homogenate was not changed after i.p. injection of aldosterone. Reliable changes in the content of inositol-phosphates in the kidney cell suspension was not revealed after aldosterone treatment. A short-term

[The age-related characteristics of the hormonal regulation of Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity in the kidney cortex of rats]

The aldosterone binding in isolated distal convoluted and cortical collecting tubules of renal nephrons and the influence of hormonal induction on the Na, K-ATPase activity in membrane fraction of kidney cortex were studied in 10-day- and 2-month-old rats. No reliable difference in aldosterone-specific binding was revealed (0.26 +/- 0.04 and 0.22 +/- 0.03 fmol/mm of tubule length, respectively, at

[Effects of aldosterone and vasopressin on the intracellular Ca2+ activity in the cortical collecting tubules of rat kidneys]

Effects of aldosterone and vasopressin on the intracellular Ca2+ activity in the isolated cortical collecting tubules were studied. Both aldosterone and vasopressin were shown to evoke a transient increase in intracellular Ca2+, the response amplitude being not reduced in the presence of the other hormones. As vasopressin via its membrane receptors, aldosterone is suggested to activate the system

Is density functional theory accurate for lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase enzymes

The lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) enzymes boost polysaccharide depolymerization through oxidative chemistry, which has fueled the hope for more energy-efficient production of biofuel. We have recently proposed a mechanism for the oxidation of the polysaccharide substrate (E. D. Hedegård and U. Ryde, Chem. Sci., 2018, 9, 3866-3880). In this mechanism, intermediates with superoxide, oxyl

The ANO-R Basis Set

In this work, the new ANO-R basis set for all elements of the first six periods is introduced. The ANO-R basis set is an all-electron basis set that was constructed including scalar-relativistic effects of the exact-two component (X2C) Hamiltonian and modeling the atomic nucleus by a Gaussian charge distribution, which makes the basis set suitable for calculations of both light and heavy elements.

Falls in older aged adults in 22 European countries : incidence, mortality and burden of disease from 1990 to 2017

INTRODUCTION: Falls in older aged adults are an important public health problem. Insight into differences in fall-related injury rates between countries can serve as important input for identifying and evaluating prevention strategies. The objectives of this study were to compare Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 estimates on incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due to
