Understanding the coupling of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) cycles of land ecosystems requires understanding microbial element use efficiencies of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. Whereas important controls of those efficiencies by microbial community adaptations have been shown at the scale of a soil pore, a simplified representation of those controls is needed at the ecosystem scale. Howev

Surgical approach with reduction pulmonary artery plasty and valved conduit in patients with respiratory compromise prior to repair is associated with excellent long-term survival at the cost of a higher reintervention rate. OBJECTIVES: Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare congenital heart defect with pulmonary artery dilatation and secondary airway compression. Although preoperative respirat

Objective: To characterize patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) diagnosed before age 18 years within a nationwide Swedish Fontan cohort. Methods: Surgical records and medical charts were reviewed for all patients born after January 1, 1993, who underwent Fontan completion before January 1, 2021. Results: Among 573 reviewed patients, 28 (4.8%) developed PLE. The median time to onset of PL

The Historical Database of Scanian Agriculture (HDSA) is a micro-level database over farm production in the most southern Swedish region of Scania (Skåne) based on flexible tithes. It contains over 85,000 farm level observations of both vegetable and animal production for the period 1702 to 1881. Moreover, this information is supplemented by information on the farmer, the farm, on enclosures, natu

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”) provide targets with an alternative route to the public markets and have grown significantly in popularity in recent years. The existing literature on SPAC performance, which predominantly examines the previous generation of SPACs (pre-2010), reveals that the market tends to react positively to acquisition announcement, while post-merger performance

This project was designed as part of the Bachelor Studio Contemporary Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The aim of the course was to explore different ways in which architecture can embody and visualise both poetic and technical qualities. I did this by designing a crematorium with associated chapels, cremation room and columbarium. The design process has been guided

This thesis examines how perpetrators of misogynistic mass murder utilise narrative and storytelling to make meaning of their violent acts towards women. This thesis is hereby an attempt to understand gendered mass violence, and its narrative resources that precede and promote such actions, as part of a wider, misogynist culture centered on a denial of the existence of patriarchal societies and op

This thesis deals with the topic of effectiveness of automatic stabilization in Sweden from 1970 and onwards. A simple model of how the business cycle affects taxes (through the automatic stabilizers) is used to construct new series for disposable incomes, aggregate demand components and finally aggregate demand. The effectiveness of the automatic stabilizers is measured using the ratio of the roo

In a recent population-based study, an elevated risk of the Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes was found in childless men compared to those who have fathered one or more children. Therefore, by using a larger cohort of more than 22 000 men from the Malmo Preventive Project (MPP) we aimed to expand our observations in order to evaluate the metabolic profile of childless men and to evalua
