Energi och klimatpåverkan är ständigt aktuellt i dagens samhälle. För att motverka den globala uppvärmningen har EU tagit fram klimatmål där bland annat energianvändningen ska minska med 20 % mot 1990 års nivåer år 2020. En stor andel av energianvändningen orsakas i Sverige idag av bygg- och fastighetsbranschen där byggnadsbeståndet står för ca 30 % av energianvändningen. För att klara EU:s klimEnergy use and climate impact are important topics in today’s society. To combat global warming, the EU has set a goal framework with a 20 % reduction target until 2020 for domestic energy use compared to 1990. Today, the building sector in Sweden accounts for 30 % of the domestic energy use. To achieve the goals for energy and climate set by the EU, changes are required. The Swedish parliament ha
The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme
To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle
Workers within the painting and decorating trade are exposed to stresses and strains to a considerable large extent. Statistics from 2012 indicate that one out of four Swedish male painters and decorators suffer from work-related disorders. The objective of this thesis was to thoroughly examine the stresses and strains that professional painters and decorators are exposed to throughout an average
Background: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) devices equipped with cadmium–zinc–telluride (CZT) detectors achieve high contrast resolution because of their enhanced energy resolution. Recently, thallium bromide (TlBr) has gained attention as a detector material because of its high atomic number and density. Purpose: This study evaluated the clinical applicability of a SPECT syste
Context. The peculiar Galactic globular cluster ω Centauri (NGC 5139) has drawn attention for its unique features, such as an unusually high stellar mass compared to other Galactic globular clusters and a broad distribution of chemical elements. These features have led to the hypothesis that ω Centauri might be the nuclear remnant of an ancient dwarf galaxy accreted by the Milky Way, potentially b
Background: Both aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) affect brain networks, with early disruptions occurring in regions involved in episodic memory. Few studies have, however, focused on distinguishing region-specific effects of AD-biomarker negative “normal” aging and early amyloid- and tau pathology on functional connectivity. Further, longitudinal studies combining imaging, biomarkers, and cogni
Background: Elderly individuals with chronic conditions or acute illnesses are major drivers of hospitalization, with frail patients frequently utilizing emergency department (ED) services. To ease this burden, many countries offer home-based medical services. In Region Halland, Sweden, a mobile team intervention in municipal home care (MHC) was introduced to support frail elderly patients. This s
Background: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a key indicator of kidney function, typically estimated using creatinine or cystatin C. When cystatin-C-based eGFR is markedly lower than creatinine-based eGFR, this discrepancy may reflect a selective impairment in the filtration of medium-sized molecules, referred to as Shrunken Pore Syndrome (SPS), or more broadly, Selective Glomerular Hypofiltrat
This study analyzed daily temperature data from 114 meteorological stations in the Qinling-Daba Mountains from 1980 to 2017, focusing on core zones (CE I ≥ 2274 m, CE II 1321–2274 m) and peripheral zones (PE I 668–1321 m, PE II < 668 m). Using 15 extreme temperature indices computed with RClimDex, we assessed the spatiotemporal patterns, trends, and response to climate warming of extreme temperatu
Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was
Stroke and anemia are both prevalent conditions with significant health burdens, yet their bidirectional relationship remains poorly understood. Anemia affects up to 29 % of stroke patients and is associated with increased worse outcomes. However, the causal nature of this association, particularly concerning different anemia subtypes, remains controversial, and there is a lack of clear targets an
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Prostate cancer (PC) and dementia may commonly co-occur; yet, prior evidence for bidirectional associations is inconsistent. This study aims to determine the associations between PC and dementia in large population-based studies, which may further inform clinical care. METHODS: To assess the dementia risk in men with PC, a national cohort study was conducted in 178 746 me
The capacity of somatic cells and pollen grains or microspores to undergo embryogenesis is an important property used in improvement and regeneration of plants. Furthermore, somatic embryogenesis as well as pollen embryogenesis show many similarities with zygotic embryogenesis and are, thus, good model systems. Pollen suspensions of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) contain a mixture of embryogenic a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fotosyntesen är nödvändig för vårt liv på jordklotet. Fotosyntes utförs huvudsakligen av gröna växter och dessutom av vissa bakterier. Dessa organismer absorberar energin i solljuset och omvandlar den till kemisk energi i form av till exempel kolhydrater och fett som vi människor och djur sedan kan förbränna och utvinna energi ifrån. Fotosyntesen utförs av ett flertal pPSII catalyses the light-induced water splitting process which leads to electron transfer through the thylakoid membrane and formation of energy rich molecules. Several redox components including a Mn4Ca, an amino acid residueYZ, two special Chl molecules P680, two Pheo and two quinone molecules participate in this process. Another component of PSII which interacts magnetically with Mn4Ca is D2-Ty
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tekniken för vitreoretinal kirurgi har utvecklats betydligt de senaste åren, både vad gäller metodik och instrumentering. Allt fler sjukdomstillstånd i näthinnan kan nu behandlas. För att utveckla dessa metoder vidare, och även öka kunskapen bakom verkningsmekanismen för deras effektivitet, är standardiserade djurmodeller där både funktion och histologi kan utvärderas aThe field of vitreoretinal surgery has expanded greatly over the last decades. A continuous refinement of surgical methods and instruments has increased the number of treatable retinal disorders. Vitrectomy, retinectomy and laser treatment are all part of the modern surgical arsenal. In order to further develop and refine these methods, and also to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms behind th
This article deals with the view on death and cure of dying persons in Scandinavia from the middle of the 19th century up to the present. In this period, there is a change from a Christian understanding of death as a transition to eternal life to the present, secularised attitude. This development was, however, not clear-cut. There was a trend towards secularisation but at the same time, there wer
Colorectal cancers are globally ranked as the third most common cancer form in terms of incidence and mortality. Diet has long been considered as one of the main factors affecting population outcome regarding development of cancer in the colon. Numerous epidemiological studies have found links between consumption of dietary fibres and milk and reduced risk of cancers including colon cancer. To be
