White fingers, cold environment, and vibration – exposure among Swedish construction workers

Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, 2010
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the association between white fingers, cold environment, and exposure to hand–arm vibration (HAV). The hypothesis was that working in cold climate increases the risk of white fingers.

Tracking the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitat status

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bottom trawling is the most widespread physical disturbance to marine benthic habitats, yet broadscale assessments of its impact remain limited. We developed a quantitative framework to evaluate trawling effects on benthic habitats at broad spatial scales based on the sentinels of seabed (SoS) indicator.

Impact of Environmental Conditions on the Spawning Migration of Sea Trout (Salmo trutta L.) in Two Large, Sub‐Arctic River Systems

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global decline in salmonid stocks has increased the need for knowledge of local adaptations and life history strategies of salmonids. In this study, we used radio‐telemetry tracking data from sea trout populations in two large high‐latitude rivers to model upstream spawning migration speed of trout in response to prevailing environmental ...

Assessing local adaptation and divergence at early life stages within Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many commercially exploited fish stocks have declined over the last few decades. It is therefore essential to identify natural populations and understand local adaptation for sustainable management. Salinity is a key environmental factor shaping local adaptation, and adaptive trait divergence often occurs at the egg and larval stages.

A simple and rapid Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) titration assay based on antibiotic resistance of infected cells: evaluation of the HAV neutralization potency of human immune globulin preparations

Virology Journal, 2008
Background Hepatitis A virus (HAV), the causative agent of acute hepatitis in humans, is an atypical Picornaviridae that grows poorly in cell culture. HAV titrations are laborious and time-consuming because the virus in general does not cause cytopathic ...
