The aim of this research is to propose simple and scalable processes to obtain bioactive peptides extensively hydrolyzed starting from a tuna mixed biomass. The upcycling of this powdered biomass is challenging since it comes from the unsorted industrial side streams of the tuna canning process (cooked residues from fillet trimming) after a patented mild dehydration useful for preventing its degradation ...

En frisk mann i 70-årene utviklet venstresidig overtrykkspneumothorax med fall i oksygenmetning og blodtrykk i forbindelse med en artroskopisk skulderkirurgi på samme side. Perioperativ ultralyd for å undersøke lungeglidning er en enkel metode for raskt å identifisere denne sjeldne, men potensielt farlige situasjonen.

Background: Secreted glycoproteins of the Dickkopf (DKK) family modify Wnt signaling and may influence plaque destabilization but their modulation by statins in MI patients is not known.<p> <p>Methods: We measured plasma DKK-1 and DKK-3 in patients with acute ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and after 2 and 7 days and 2 months in patients receiving ...

The Lesser Caucasus, situated between Asia and Europe, has long been recognised as a key region for the study of human evolution in terms of the timing and routes of dispersal, as well as, ecological adaptations. In particular, scholars have argued whether stable environments persisted in the region throughout the last glaciation, serving as a refugium for temperate biota, likely attracting human ...

Student evaluation of teaching (SeT) is ubiquitous in higher education but has been criticized by many scholars because of low use for course improvement benefiting student learning. Academic developers (ADs) are responsible for pedagogical courses and to support leadership and academics in processes enhancing educational quality. We could therefore expect ADs to play a key role in SeT practice. ...

A series of bis(terpyridine)nickel(II) complexes were synthesized and subjected to electrochemical (cyclic voltammetry) and theoretical (using density function theory, DFT) studies. DFT calculations have confirmed, consistent with existing literature, that the oxidation and reduction reactions of bis(terpyridine)nickel(II) complexes are centered on nickel and the terpyridine ligand, respectively. ...

Global ionospheric total electron content (TEC) maps exhibit TEC intensifications and depletions of various sizes and shapes. Characterizing key features on TEC maps and understanding their dynamic coupling with external drivers can significantly benefit space weather forecasting. However, comprehensive analysis of ionospheric structuring over decades of TEC maps is currently lacking due to large ...

Blind peer review has become the gold standard of many scholarly disciplines. However, this seems like a paradox since openness is deeply embedded in the DNA of research. Over the last 30 years changes in the managerial paradigms of academia have also induced so many changes in the ecosystem of scholarly communication that many scholars describe the present situation as a crisis. Therefore, in ...

A growing body of research has demonstrated the potential role for physical activity as an intervention across mental and other medical disorders. However, the association between physical activity and suicidal ideation, attempts, and deaths has not been systematically appraised in clinical samples. We conducted a PRISMA 2020- compliant systematic review searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO ...

This paper reports results from a large cross-dialectal study, showing that feminine forms are changing in several dialects. These results suggest that the Norwegian three-gender system may be in the process of becoming a two-gender system. By using a more extensive battery of experimental tests than previous studies, we are able to scrutinize the nature of grammatical gender with substantial empirical ...
