The objectives of the work presented in this thesis have been to develop molecular methods for (i) detection of Clostridium botulinum in food and clinical samples, and (ii) monitoring the expression of the neurotoxin gene, cnt, during different growth phases and under different growth conditions. For the diagnosis of botulism, a real-time PCR-based method including an internal amplification contr
This paper studies the possibility to exploit linear dependence in stock returns of the Swedish OMX 30 index. The main model studied in the paper is a Vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Ten years of data from the OMX 30 index is used, consisting of 27 stocks for the period 2006-2015 which is transformed into daily, weekly and monthly returns. First the significance of the models is tested and it i
Aim: Renography with 99mTc-MAG3 is one of the most common nuclear medicine examinations. It’s extensive use justifies a thorough investigation of the methods used to accurately determine the split renal function, for instance with regard to background subtraction and correction for renal depth differ- ences. Previous studies on this subject have been made, mainly on patient image data, thus the ”t
In recent years, microwave applications in the food products have attracted increasing attention by the food packaging industry and the consumers due to their convenience, low energy and water usage and short processing time giving them a sustainable advantage over competing technologies. In-pack pasteurization represents one of the fastest developing technologies in preparing and delivering safe

Diversification of forest industry activites into transport fuels is important for Swedish climate and energy policy goal achievement, and biofuel proponents also claim that it is important for Swedish forest industry competitiveness. There is significant ongoing research effort on biofuels for road transport and extensive experimentation on several technical platforms has been conducted. These di
Introduction: The first-line evidence-based treatment for chronic pain is multidisciplinary treatment involving pain-focused CBT. Studies have shown that changes in psychological flexibility (PF) during pain-focused CBT positively mediatesoutcomes, even when the treatment does not specifically target PF. While CBT and PF-based treatments for chronic pain yield small to moderate, but clinically mea
Deep learning has advanced flood forecasting through its strong nonlinear modeling capabilities. However, accuracy declines and robustness remain insufficient at longer forecast lead times. Therefore, an evolutionary deep learning model for flood forecasting was developed by integrating time-varying filter-based empirical mode decomposition (TVFEMD), sample entropy-based signal reconstruction (SE)
In the autumn of 1993 the subject of free trade in visual media was brought into the public eye as never before, at least within the European Union. The occasion was of course the much publicised near breakdown in the ongoing GATT-negotiations. The crux seemed to be that the US and the EU was unable to come to terms whereas films and television programmes was to be seen as manufactured goods which
Bone tissue is commonly transplanted during orthopedic surgeries, primarily for the management of bone defects caused by trauma or various orthopedic conditions including, but not limited to, infections and tumours. Bone grafts are a surgeon’s choice, but their associated drawbacks are paving the way for biomaterial based bone graft substitutes. Biomaterials inherently lack the ability to induce s
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain malignancy with a very poor prognosis. Researchers employ animal models to develop potential therapies. It is important that these models have clinical relevance. This means that old models, propagated for decades in cultures, should be questioned. Parameters to be evaluated include whether animals are immune competent or not,
Background: Using an optical method based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, we previously assessed oxygen (O2) and water vapor (H2O) content in a tissue phantom of the preterm infant lung. Here we applied this method on newborn piglets with induced lung complications. Methods: Five mechanically ventilated piglets were subjected to stepwise increased and decreased fraction of inspired
S urveillance technologies used in the prevention, investigation and pros- ecution of terrorism and other seri- ous crimes are ubiquitous. Howev- er, policymakers are having a hard time weighing the actual security benefit of any surveillance technology against the potential fi- nancial cost, moral hazard, or resulting intrusion into privacy and other fundamental rights. How can a state protect it

1 Are There Reasons to Be Rational? Olav Gjelsvik, University of Oslo The thesis. Among people writing about rationality, few people are more rational than Wlodek Rabinowicz. But are there reasons for being rational? This paper explores whether there are, and attempts to defend a limited thesis to the effect that there are reasons to be rational. The thesis that is defended is limited this way: As

In a rapidly evolving research field, it is crucial to understand the impact of nanomaterials on human health and the environment. The overall objective is to increase our understanding of the fundamental connections between particle properties and human and environmental toxicology, as well as of emissions and exposure in all stages of the lifecycle of a nanomaterial. The research aims at providi
