Pickering emulsions are emulsions stabilized by solid particles. Particles with optimal dual wettability toward both of the oil and water phases, can be adsorbed onto the interface, thereby providing the stability of the emulsions. Starch granules have attracted attention due to their positive characteristics, such as being widely available, inexpensive, biodegradable, and non-allergenic. Due to a

I denna studie genomförs en uppdaterad analys av potentialen för en ökad tillförsel av biomassa från skog, jordbruk och akvatiska system i Sverige till 2030 respektive 2050. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i en tidigare potentialstudie från 2016 men där potentialen för respektive biomassakategori justerats efter de omvärldsförändringar som skett och ny kunskap som tagits fram under de senaste fem åreThis study include an updated analysis of the potential increase in the supply of biomass from forest, agriculture and aquaculture in Sweden until 2030 and 2050, respectively. The study is based on a previous assessment from 2016 but where the potential of different categories of biomass feedstocks is revised according to new knowledge and changed conditions during the last five years. The estimat

We have used the FERMI free-electron laser to perform time-resolved photoelectron imaging experiments on a complex group of resonances near 15.38 eV in the absorption spectrum of molecular nitrogen, N2, under jet-cooled conditions. The new data complement and extend the earlier work of Fushitani et al. [Opt. Express 27, 19702–19711 (2019)], who recorded time-resolved photoelectron spectra for this

The European Union adopted the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in the year 2000 to tackle the rapid degradation of freshwater systems. However, biological, hydromorphological, and physico-chemical water quality targets are currently not met, and identifying successful policy implementation and management actions is of key importance. We built a joint species distribution model for riverine fish in

Here we report a case of an 11-year-old girl with an inoperable tumor in the optic chiasm/hypothalamus, who experienced several tumor progressions despite three lines of chemotherapy treatment. Routine clinical examination classified the tumor as a BRAF-negative pilocytic astrocytoma. Copy-number variation profiling of fresh frozen tumor material identified two duplications in 9q21.32-33 leading t

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of population screening on low vision and blindness from open-angle glaucoma.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.STUDY POPULATION: A very large population based screening for glaucoma was conducted in Malmö, Sweden, from 1992 to 1997. A total of 42 497 subjects were invited, of which 32 918 were screened and 9579 non-responders, i.e. did not participate.METHODS: The

Evenemangsbranschen kopplad till Sveriges idrotts- och friluftsliv har påverkats kraftigt av pandemin. I det korta perspektivet har tusentals människors jobb och fritid påverkats då aktiviteter uteblivit och evenemang ställts in. De långsiktiga konsekvenserna kan leda till en förändrad syn på hur man i framtiden kommer att resa, delta i evenemang och använda arenor. Detta får i sin tur konsekvense

Sweden's strategy to manage the spread of Covid-19 has not included any form of lockdown, in contrast to the approaches adopted by most other countries. Instead, the strategy has been largely based on strong recommendations for society. Even though Sweden has not had any form of lockdown, the Covid-19 pandemic has during a relatively short period of time brought changes for society, significantly

Objectives:The overall aim of the dissertation is to examine antibody response to immunization with pneumococcal vaccine in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease (IRD), in relation to disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatments, and in postsplenectomy patients.Methods:(I) Splenectomized patients without previous pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) immunization were invited to r

Object permanence is the capacity to represent objects as persisting in time and space independently of perception.

Global dispersal and increasing frequency of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein variant D614G are suggestive of a selective advantage but may also be due to a random founder effect. We investigate the hypothesis for positive selection of spike D614G in the United Kingdom using more than 25,000 whole genome SARS-CoV-2 sequences. Despite the availability of a large dataset, well represented by both spike

We show the distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) genetic clades over time and between countries and outline potential genomic surveillance objectives. We applied three genomic nomenclature systems to all sequence data from the World Health Organization European Region available until 10 July 2020. We highlight the importance of real-time sequencing and data

Meningitis is a potentially life-threatening infection characterized by the inflammation of the leptomeningeal membranes. Many different viral and bacterial pathogens can cause meningitis, with differences in mortality rates, risk of developing neurological sequelae and treatment options. Here we constructed a compendium of digital cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteome maps to define pathogen-specifi
