The article is a response to a lecture held by Sarah Coakley at Lund University 2009. In relation to Coakley's reflections on pain, the article addresses the question whether the Passion story still today, and not only in an ecclesial context, can serve as an incitement to a kind of self-examinating reflection. In other words, is it possible to retrieve through the Passion a narrative framework wh

Nanostructured neural interfaces, comprising nanotubes or nanowires, have the potential to overcome the present hurdles of achieving stable communication with neuronal networks for long periods of time. This would have a strong impact on brain research. However, little information is available on the brain response to implanted high-aspect-ratio nanoparticles, which share morphological similaritie

We present a comparative study of xanthorhodopsin, a proton pump with the carotenoid salinixanthin serving as an antenna, and the closely related bacteriorhodopsin. Upon excitation of retinal, xanthorhodopsin exhibits a wavy transient absorption pattern in the region between 470 and 540 nm. We interpret this signal as due to electrochromic effect of the transient electric field of excited retinal

Plant-soil feedback is increasingly recognized as a vital framework to analyze multi-trophic interactions involving herbivores, plants and microbes, but research is still lacking on understanding such feedback in the context of global change. In grasslands, patterns of herbivory are expected to be affected by global change, further modifying existing plant-soil feedbacks. We tested this by evaluat

Background: The SYNAPSE study (NCT03085797) demonstrated that mepolizumab decreased nasal polyp (NP) size and nasal obstruction in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with NP (CRSwNP). Methods: SYNAPSE, a randomized, double-blind study, included patients with recurrent, refractory, severe CRSwNP, eligible for repeated surgery despite receiving standard of care (SoC). Patients received 4-weekly me

Permafrost contains about 50% of the global soil carbon. It is thought that the thawing of permafrost can lead to a loss of soil carbon in the form of methane and carbon dioxide emissions. The magnitude of the resulting positive climate feedback of such greenhouse gas emissions is still unknown and may to a large extent depend on the poorly understood role of microbial community composition in reg

Denna uppsats undersöker hotspot-modellen i Grekland och dess förenlighet med de grundläggande rättigheter som fastställs i Europeiska konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna, närmare bestämt artiklarna 3 och 5. Hotspotsystemet infördes som en nödåtgärd som svar på det ökade antalet ankommande flyktingar vid EU:s yttre gränser under 2015-2016. I Grekland utvecklades det dock till en mer permaneThis thesis examines the hotspot approach in Greece and its compatibility with the fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular focus on Articles 3 and 5. The hotspot system was introduced as an emergency measure in response to the increased number of arrivals at the EU’s external borders in 2015-2016. In Greece, however, it evolved into a more permane

Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process that has a very important role in the homeostasis of eukaryotic cells. Linkage-specific ubiquitination determines the final destination of modified protein. Ubiquitination has also been reported to regulate inflammasome function and IL-1β degradation. Secretion of IL-1β by macrophages in response to inflammasome activation is a key proces

Some colors might have different connotations depending on people’s cultural backgrounds. When talking about evacuation, the color employed for exit signs and flashing lights plays a significant role because it is in charge of transmitting a message to the evacuees, either danger or safety. The aims of this study are to evaluate the influence of red and green emergency wayfinding systems on people

Dangerous consumption of alcohol or other drugs can quickly lead to major problems mentally, physically and socially. At the Student Health Centre, our main priority is to work to promote students’ health. Therefore, we think that it is especially important to be able to pick up on dangerous drinking, drug use, gaming and gambling problems at an early stage. Shortcuts to page content:Alcohol and d

Topical application of capsaicin is thought to deplete substance P from local sensory nerve terminals. In experiments on human skin inflammation was induced by injection of substance P (SP) or histamine intradermally, UV irradiation, non-immunologic contact urticaria, tuberculin reaction, contact allergens and benzalkonium chloride with or without capsaicin pretreatment. The flare response to SP a
