The concept food waste means food that could have been eaten if handled differently and it is a growing problem in the society. Food that ends up as food waste is unnecessary production. It contributes with nearly 800 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide in Sweden, who is based on 1,3 million tonnes discarded food annually. A challenge in reducing food waste is that the solution is not as simple as just s
Inom EU finns det uppskattningsvis mellan 5000 till 8000 olika sällsynta diagnoser som drabbar mellan sex till åtta procent av EU:s medborgare någon gång under deras livstid. Under 1990-talet fick EU upp ögonen för problematiken med bristen på läkemedelsframställning för sällsynta diagnoser inom Unionen. År 1999 inrättades förordning (EG) nr 141/2000 om särläkemedel med syftet att öka utvecklingenWithin the European Union there is approximately between 5000 to 8000 different rare diseases that affect five to eight percent of the EU population sometime during their lifetime. During the 1990’s the awareness of the problem with lack of medicine production for unusual diseases increased. In 1999 the regulation (EG) no 141/2000 of Oprhan drugs was created with the purpose of increasing the prod
Semiconductor nanowires are the potential base for building many future devices like solar cells and light emitting diodes. To reach the level of commercialization of such devices, mass production of NWs at low cost with reproducible high quality properties in terms of crystallinity, material and dimensions is a prerequisite. At Lund University a new technique, called Aerotaxy, which satisfies the
Ett uppmärksammat fall av dödligt våld i nära relation väckte förra året starka reaktioner, då ärendet tidigare hade varit föremål för utredning, men lades ned till följd av att kvinnan inte längre ville medverka. Trots att relationsvåld betraktas som allvarligt och angeläget att motarbeta, verkar problemen för rättsväsendet att utreda brotten kvarstå. Det grundar sig till stor del i bevisningsproA case of spousal homocide caused strong reactions last year. The case had previously been subject of criminal investigation, but was dropped when the victim no longer wanted to participate. Although partner violence is prioritized by the legal system, the crimes are difficult to investigate. The victims struggle in taking a stand against the violence which makes it difficult to perpetuate evidenc
Syftet med studien är att presentera gällande regelverk beträffande den svenska polisens användning av skjutvapen och därefter undersöka om regleringen är tillfredsställande eller i behov av ändring. Den laga befogenheten att använda våld regleras i 10 § polislagen och den laga befogenheten att använda skjutvapen regleras i skjutkungörelsen och Rikspolisstyrelsens föreskrifter och allmänna råd, FAThe purpose of the study is to present the current regulation concerning the Swedish police’s use of firearms and thenceforth investigate whether the regulation is satisfactory or if changes are required. The legal right to use violence is stated in 10 § in the police-code, and the right to use firearms is stated in the firearm proclamation and the national police board’s regulation FAP 104-2. In
Den svenska modellen inom arbetsrätten handlar till stor del om två saker: skyddet av alla arbetstagare och parternas autonomi. I Sverige regleras en stor del av arbetsrätten av kollektivavtal, vilka förhandlas av parterna på arbetsmarknaden. I många andra länder används allmängiltigförklaring av kollektivavtal som ett sätt att sträcka ut kollektivavtalets bindande verkan för att nå fler arbetstagThe Swedish model within labour law is mainly about two things: the protection of all workers and the collective autonomy. In Sweden, a big part of the labour law is regulated by collective agreements negotiated by the different parties on the labour market. In many other countries, a universal declaration of collective agreements is used, to extend the binding effect of the collective agreement t
Background: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare, neurodegenerative disease and its complex motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms exert a lifelong clinical burden on both patients and their families. Objective: To describe the clinical burden and natural history of HD. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study used data from the linked Swedish national registries to describe the occurrence of com
A tight control over AKT/PKB activation is essential for cells, and they realise this in part by regulating the phosphorylation of Ser473 in the "hydrophobic motif" of the AKT carboxy-terminal region. The RICTOR-mTOR complex (TORC2) is a major kinase for AKT Ser473 phosphorylation after stimulation by several growth factors, in a reaction proposed to require p21-activated kinase (PAK) as a scaffol
Induction of SRY box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) has been shown to occur in response to kidney injury in rodents, where SOX9-positive cells proliferate and regenerate the proximal tubules of injured kidneys. Additionally, SOX9-positive cells demonstrate a capacity to differentiate toward other nephron segments. Here, we characterized the role of SOX9 in normal and injured human kidneys. SOX9 exp
Background and purpose — The EQ-5D is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM). To make priorities and allocate resources between patients and surgical procedures it is necessary to evaluate outcome differences, which is why comparing PROMs between registers is important. We compared EQ-5D data and the follow-up rate for selected diag-noses reported to Swedish orthopedic registers before and 1 ye
BACKGROUND: Hemophilia A and B are caused by variants in the factor (F) VIII or FIX gene. Selective reporting may influence the distribution of variants reported in genetic databases.OBJECTIVES: To compare the spectrum of F8 and F9 variants in an international population-based pediatric cohort (PedNet Registry) with the spectrum found in the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Diso
Wildfires are increasing in scale, frequency and longevity, and are affecting new locations as environmental conditions change. This paper presents a dataset collected during a community evacuation drill performed in Roxborough Park, Colorado (USA) in 2019. This is a wildland–urban interface community including approximately 900 homes. Data concerning several aspects of community response were col
The pancreatic islet is a highly structured micro-organ that produces insulin in response to rising blood glucose. Here we develop a label-free and automatic imaging approach to visualize the islets in situ in diabetic rodents by the synchrotron radiation X-ray phase-contrast microtomography (SRμCT) at the ID17 station of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The large-size images (3.2 mm ×
Wildfire danger indices, or fire danger rating systems, are widely used to inform decision-making related to wildfire risk management. Several studies have compared different indices’ performance; however, results have shown that this varies in different parts of the world. Further, many of these indices have not yet been assessed for Swedish conditions. In this study, four different weather-based
Land-use practices and their intensity along with climatic conditions alter amounts of soil organic carbon content and consequently influence soil microorganisms. However, land-use management, such as crop residue incorporation to soils has a potential to mitigate losses of soil organic carbon and thereafter promote the diversity of soil microorganisms. To gain insight of microbial functional dive
Future generations of computing systems need to continue increasing processing speed and energy efficiency in order to meet the growing workload requirements under stringent environmental constraints. As a result, domain-specific hardware accelerators and platforms have become widely used. In addition to the conventional approach, where memory and processing elements are separated, an emerging app
A thermographic phosphor’s decay time distribution over its temperature-sensitive range was retrieved with the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM). A decay time distribution consists of a range of decay times, each with an associated weighting for the decay time component’s prevalence in the analyzed decay curve. With the MEM, significant decay time contributions of a decay curve have high weighting and
