Histological studies of the ontogenetic changes in Arctic marine fishes are often fragmented and incomplete. Here we present a comprehensive histological ontogenetic analysis of the daubed shanny (<i>Leptoclinus maculatus</i>) from the Arctic, characterizing its development as it undergoes a series of changes in the organ and tissue organization, especially during the postlarvae transition from the ...

Background - The effects of climate change, loss of pastureland to other land usage and presence of large carnivores are the main reasons for the increase in supplementary feeding of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Fennoscandia over the last decades. Feeding might expose reindeer to stress and increased animal-to-animal contact, leading to an increased risk of infectious ...

Livestreaming of child sexual abuse (LSCSA) is an established form of online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA). However, only a limited body of research has examined this issue. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated internet use and user knowledge of livestreaming services emphasizing the importance of understanding this crime. In this scoping review, existing literature was brought together ...

Background - Smoking and alcohol use often co-occur, and the use of nicotine-containing products is particularly common among persons with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Recent evidence shows that chronic alcohol use leads to inflammation through increased gut permeability and dysregulated cytokine levels. While cigarette smoking also has detrimental health effects, nicotine has immune dampening effects ...

The main purpose of this chapter is to present an approach which emphasizes individual-centered care and personal values in daily life settings. This approach is termed Multidimensional Individualized Stuttering Therapy, with the acronym MIST. The therapy format in MIST is individual and holistic, and it is grounded in practice-based evidence. Based on personal feedback from people who stutter (PWS), ...

The book Dialogue without barriers: A comprehensive approach to dealing with stuttering is the result of Norwegian-Polish cooperation undertaken in the project LOGOLab – Dialogue without barriers. Three partners have been involved in the production of this book, namely, the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, the UiT Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø, and the Agere Aude Foundation for ...

<b>Purpose:</b> To compare peak work rate (WR_peak) and associated physiological and biomechanical performance-determining variables between flat and uphill cross-country (XC) sit-skiing. <b>Methods:</b> Fifteen able-bodied male XC skiers completed 2 test sessions, each comprising four 4-minute submaximal stages, followed by an incremental test to exhaustion and a verification test in ...

The plasma in the cusp ionosphere is subject to particle precipitation, which is important for the development of large-scale irregularities in the plasma density. These irregularities can be broken down into smaller scales which have been linked to strong scintillations in the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals. We present power spectra for the plasma density irregularities in the ...

I det sena 1800-talets Sverige var såväl produktionen som förmedlingen av böcker koncentrerad till större tätorter, samtidigt som en överväldigande majoritet av invånarna bodde på landsbygden. Tillgången till skön litteratur var särskilt ojämnt fördelad. Den moderna samtidslitteraturen var främst en vara för städernas boklådor och förblev därmed utom räckhåll för en betydande mängd potentiella läsare. ...
