  2. 1. Cold-induced nonshivering thermogenesis : tissue origin, activation, recruitment

    Author : Valeria Golozoubova; Martin Brand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; zoofysiologi; Zoological physiology;

    Abstract : Two types of heat production, shivering and nonshivering thermogenesis, are activated in mammals in the cold. In small mammals, nonshivering thermogenesis becomes the main source of heat upon long-term cold exposure. READ MORE

  4. 2. Enzyme Cold Adaptation through Evolution of Protein Flexibility

    Author : Jaka Sočan; Johan Åqvist; Hugo Gutiérrez-de-Terán; Janez Mavri; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; EVB; Empirical valence bond method; Pancreatic elastase; α-amylase; Enzyme catalysis; Enzyme evolution; Cold adaptation; Temperature dependence of catalytic rates; Psychrophilic enzyme; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Abstract : What lives, evolves. Macromolecular catalysis is a process, central to both evolutionary and metabolic aspect of life, as it provides a systematic bias favouring certain chemical processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advocates of Realpolitik : Sweden, Europe and the Helsinki Final Act

    Author : Aryo Makko; Hossein Sheiban; Thomas Jonter; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Sweden; Foreign Policy; Diplomacy; CSCE; Final Act; Cold War; Détente; Active Foreign Policy; Olof Palme; Neutrality; Neutrality Policy; EC; EEC; History; historia;

    Abstract : Sweden is traditionally portrayed as an active critic and mediator or bridge builder in international politics during the 1960s and 1970s. The activation of Swedish foreign policy, often ascribed to Prime Minister Olof Palme, has been lauded as a transformation from armed isolationism to internationalist solidarity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Thermo- and chemosensitive properties of Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 ion channels

    Author : Lavanya Moparthi; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TRP ion channels; TRPA1; ankyrin repeat domain; thermosensation; chemosensation; cold sensor; electrophiles; non-electrophiles; planar lipid bilayers; patch-clamp; fluorescence spectroscopy; mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature.

  7. 5. Plasma as a Therapeutic Principle in Clinical Practice : With Special Reference to Sweden

    Author : Rut A C Norda; Bo Nilsson; Bernd G Stegmayr; Kristina Nilsson-Ekdahl; Volker Kretschmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; adverse effects; contact activation; plasma exchange; plasma storage; severe sepsis; therapeutic apheresis; transfusion; Immunologi;

    Abstract : The newly established Swedish Apheresis Registry makes it possible to do national inter-center comparisons. This study was undertaken to describe and analyze the use of therapeutic apheresis and the adverse effects in such therapy. READ MORE
