Hydrogels are a hydrophilic network of polymers (usually cross-linked polysaccharides) that are natural or synthetic. Applications of hydrogels are many in the biomedical field. Because of the high water absorption (10 to 200 grams of water per gram of hydrogel), hydrogels have a high degree of flexibility similar to natural human tissue. Human cells can be incorporated into the hydrogel, which in

Galactoglucomannans (GGM) can be used as a precursor for the production of surfactants, plastics, hydrogels etc. However, separation of galactoglucomannan (GGM) from lignin and lignin-carbohydrate-complexes using membrane filtration is difficult. Precipitation of GGM with anti-solvents is an approach that has been previously studied. A membrane filtration step prior to precipitation is economicall

World quinoa production is increasing due its high nutritional value. As a consequence, large quantities of stalks accumulate as unused byproducts. Here, we verify the presence of saponins in the stalks and present a biorefinery approach with quinoa stalks as feedstock, using an integrated processing scheme to separate saponins, xylan and cellulose. Saponins were extracted using pressurized hot wa

Artikeln undersöker en teologisk traktat skriven på 1570-talet av Jesper Marci, kyrkoherde i Vadstena, (handskriften T 147 i Linköpings stiftsbibliotek), riktad mot Hans Pauli Montanus, kaplan i Vadstena kloster, och dennes enligt Jesper Marci vidskepliga bruk av vigvatten under 1570-talet. Det svenska reformatoriska prästvigningsritualet och bakgrunden till det symboliska överlämnandet av en bibe

A diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and serious complication of diabetes. It is today the leading cause of amputations and is associated with both increased morbidity and mortality. Individuals with DFU have 2.5 times higher mortality rates compared to patients with diabetes but without DFU, a risk that persists even after ulcer healing.

The excavation of a low-temperature kiln structure at an affluent Iron Age regional center, Uppåkra, located in southern Sweden, revealed from archeobotanical samples and its context evidence of malting in the process to make beer. Carbonized germinated hulled barley grain (Hordeum vulgare) was recovered from the kiln structure itself and from the surrounding occupationalsurface.

This article discusses the political plans for Yemeni politicians, and how they use their plans just as slogans.

The article addresses the situation in Eden-Yemen, where the political and armed conflict between pro-Emirate and Yemen government parties.

We here respond to the critique by Purdon of an article on carbon forestry that we published in this journal last year (Carton and Andersson). While we welcome critical engagements with our work, Purdon’s argument is wide of the mark and appears based largely on misconceptions regarding our theoretical entry point and empirical findings. Underlying this are fundamental disagreements about the natu

OBJECTIVES: To investigate differences in ulcer healing time and waiting time between video consultation and inperson assessment for patients with hard-to-heal ulcers.SETTING: Patients treated at Blekinge Wound Healing Centre, a primary care centre covering the whole of Blekinge county (150 000 inhabitants), were compared with patients registered and treated according to the Registry of Ulcer Trea
