Liten blomma i backen, formad av bondens blod, svett och tårar En bit innan semesterparadiset Smögen, ligger en liten ö med mångårig historia. Här har marken odlats under många hundra år. På sommaren slåttrade man gräset, bar det till höbalar, och korna betade lojt på med utsikt över klipporna och havet. Störningarna var stora på gräsmarkerna, lien skar av växterna och korna betade, för många växWith the gain of productivity in farming the last decades, there has been great loss in species richness. Many plant species that have evolved and adapted alongside to traditional farming and benefiting to the managed land use, are now disappearing in great numbers. Three thirds of Sweden’s endangered plant species are those who thrive in managed grasslands like meadows and grazing areas. The trad

The offence rape is a phenomenon in Swedish criminal law that engages many people and often creates vivid reactions when media reports about verdicts of acquittal in cases involving rape. The rape section has been changed at multiple times over the years. The last change entered into force July 1, 2013 when the new concept ”particularly vulnerable situation” (”särskilt utsatt situation”) replaced

Förbättring av bildkvalité med hjälp av kristaller! Alla som någon gång har försökt att ta en bild vet den stora vikten av att ha bra fokus i bilden och hur störigt det är när man inte får till bra bildkvalité. Dagens kameror har blivit känsligare och det är idag viktigare än någonsin att alla komponenter i kameran finns på rätt plats. Bara några mikrometers skillnad på placeringen av bildsensornThe use of piezoelectric crystals as a way to achieve automatic alignment of an image sensor in a camera was investigated in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. Piezoelectric crystals can be created into different configurations, piezoelectric stacks being one of the simpler ones. By attaching three piezoelectric stacks behind an image sensor and applying voltage to the stacks, they expand

Extremväder, såsom torkan 2018, förväntas öka i framtiden på grund av den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Detta kommer bland annat påverka världens skogar, vilka är viktiga i klimatsystemet, framför allt på grund av deras förmåga att binda koldioxid, men även deras utsläpp av biogena volatila organiska kolväten. Skogarnas förutsättningar att bidra till klimatsystemet på detta sätt kan dock ändras Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and droughts, are predicted to increase due to global warming, significantly impacting forest ecosystems. These ecosystems play a crucial role in the climate system through carbon sequestration and the emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs), which can form Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOAs) and thus have a cooling effect on the climate. In

Under de senaste årtiondena har bin, såsom humlor, minskat i både antal arter och populationsmängder. Detta är ett stort problem för vårt samhälle då både jordbruket och naturliga ekosystem till stor del är beroende av dessa pollinatörer. Det är speciellt problematiskt att humlor minskar då de har förmågan att utföra en speciell sorts pollinering (buzz-pollination) som några av våra vanligaste gröThe decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. Detrimental effects of competition can result where co-existing species exhibit a high degree of shared resource use (i.e., niche overlap). Th

Miljoner människor faller årligen offer för människohandel världen över och efterfrågan på framförallt kvinnor och barns sexuella tjänster är stor. Sverige har en unik lagstiftning mot köp av sexuella tjänster med nära koppling till och avskräckande effekt på människohandelsindustrin. För att möjliggöra mer nyanserade bedömningar, exempelvis i fall där den som erbjuder tjänsten är offer för männisEach year millions of people are victim of human trafficking and the demand for women’s and children's sexual services is particularly high. Sweden has a unique law criminalizing the purchase of sexual services, which is closely linked to the human trafficking industry. On July 1st, the maximum penalty for the purchase of sexual services will be raised to imprisonment for one year. This will a

We report broadband UBV and/or BVRCIC CCD photometry for a total of 1857 stars in the thick-disk and halo populations of the Galaxy. The majority of our targets were selected as candidate field horizontal-branch or other A-type stars (FHB/ A, N = 576), or candidate low-metallicity stars (N = 1221), from the HK and Hamburg/ESO objective-prism surveys. Similar data for a small number of additional s

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a heterogeneous single gene disorder characterized by non–insulin-dependent diabetes, an early onset and autosomal dominant inheritance. Mutations in six genes have been shown to cause MODY. Approximately 15–20% of families fitting MODY criteria do not have mutations in any of the known genes. These families provide a rich resource for the identificat

We present new maps of the Milky Way disk showing the distribution of metallicity ([Fe/H]), α-element abundances ([Mg/Fe]), and stellar age, using a sample of 66,496 red giant stars from the final data release (DR17) of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. We measure radial and vertical gradients, quantify the distribution functions for age and metallicity, and explor

Intracranial hemorrhage in a term neonate is a rare event in the absence of an identifiable precipitating factor such as severe thrombocytopenia, mechanical trauma, asphyxia, infections, or congenital vascular malformations. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of multisystem disorders characterized by the abnormal glycosylation of a number of

In addition to their hemostatic role, platelets play a significant role in immunity. Once activated, platelets release extracellular vesicles (EVs) formed by the budding of their cytoplasmic membranes. Because of their heterogeneity, platelet EVs (PEVs) are thought to perform diverse functions. It is unknown, however, whether the proteasome is transferred from platelets to PEVs or whether its func

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided strong evidence for inherited predisposition to childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) identifying a number of risk loci. We have previously shown common SNPs at 9p21.3 influence ALL risk. These SNP associations are generally not themselves candidates for causality, but simply act as markers for functional variants. By means of imputation

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the major pediatric cancer diagnosed in economically developed countries with B-cell precursor (BCP)-ALL, accounting for approximately 70% of ALL. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided the first unambiguous evidence for common inherited susceptibility to BCP-ALL, identifying susceptibility loci at 7p12.2, 9p21.3, 10q21.2, and 14q11.2. To

The Reference Values for Arterial Stiffness Collaboration has derived an equation using age and mean blood pressure to estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), which predicted cardiovascular events independently of Systematic COoronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) and Framingham Risk Score. The study aim was to investigate the independent association between ePWV and clinical outcomes in 107 599 apparentl

Background: The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) was founded in 2012 to propose consensus-based measurement tools and documentation for different conditions and populations.This article describes how the ICHOM Older Person Working Group followed a consensus-driven modified Delphi technique to develop multiple global outcome measures in older persons. The standard se

PURPOSE: The first interim analysis of the phase III, randomized, placebo-controlled TITAN study showed that apalutamide significantly improved overall survival (OS) and radiographic progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) receiving ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Herein, we report final efficacy and safety results after unblin

Background: Haematopoietic stem cells expressing the CD34 surface marker have been posited as a niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacilli during latent tuberculosis infection. Our aim was to determine whether M tuberculosis complex DNA is detectable in CD34-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from asymptomatic adults living in a setting with a high tuberculosis
