När blodet är slut... När man normalt bestämmer blodgrupper använder man sig av ett antiserum mot den blodgruppen man är intresserad av. Det finns över 30 st blodgruppsystem varav de vanligaste folk känner till är ABO och Rh (Rhesus), det vill säga om man är A, B, O, eller AB och om man är positiv eller negativ i RhD. När man blir gravid eller får en blodtransfusion utsätts man för blod som inte
Noroviruses (formerly Norwalk-like viruses) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and are associated with a significant number of nosocomial and food-borne outbreaks. In this study we show that the human secretor FUT2 gene, which codes for an alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase synthesizing the H-type 1 antigen in saliva and mucosa, is associated with susceptibility to norovirus infection
This master thesis is part of the development of a new industrial machine. The machine is a fully automated transplanting machine for the forest industry and will be used by nurseries around the world. Nurseries grow seedlings and sell them when they have grown enough to be planted in the ground. The machine being developed moves plants from a tray with small cells to a tray with bigger cells. Thi
Education for all, what does it mean? For me, that all children have the right to education and are given possibilities to obtain this right. Though, is that the reality for all children in practice? Several reports, national as well as international, indicate that this is not the case for undocumented children in Sweden, despite their right to actual enjoyment of the rights protected in the Conve
Lund Cathedral was built in Romanesque style when Lund became an archbishopric in the early 1100s. The roof structure of the church then had a flat wooden roof on the inside with room for tension rods so that the roof structure only affected the masonry walls with vertical loads. After a major fire in the 1200s, where the church was almost completely destroyed, cross vaults were built. This meant
A century after the Spanish Flu, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought renewed attention to socioeconomic and occupational differences in mortality in the earlier pandemic. The magnitude of these differences and the pathways between occupation and increased mortality remain unclear, however. In this paper, we explore the relation between occupational characteristics and excess mortality among men duri
INTRODUCTION: Rapid response teams (RRTs) are designed to improve the "chain of prevention" of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA). We studied the 30-day survival of patients reviewed by RRTs within 24 hours prior to IHCA, as compared to patients not reviewed by RRTs.METHODS: A nationwide cohort study based on the Swedish Registry of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, between January 1st, 2014, and Dece
It has recently been demonstrated that superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be used as magnetomotive ultrasound contrast agents. A time-varying external magnetic field acts to move the particles and, thus, the nanoparticle-laden tissue. However, the difficulty of distinguishing this magnetomotive motion from undesired movement induced in regions without nanoparticles or other motion arti
One approach to improve the sustainability of food processing is the recovery of valuable compounds from food industry's side streams. In this study a life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to quantify the potential environmental impacts of cross-processing herring side streams with different antioxidant-rich biomasses, so-called helpers, for the extraction of a protein ingredient that is stable aga
Aims: The association between cancer and survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) has not been thoroughly investigated. We aimed to address this knowledge gap using national, population-based registries. Methods and results: For this study, 30 163 patients with OHCA (≥18 years) were included from the Swedish Register of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation. Through linkage to the National Pat
Aim: Analysis of age at time of detection and surgery of dense unilateral cataract and investigation of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in a nationwide register-based cohort study, based on the routine of maternity ward eye screening. Methods: Data were derived from the Paediatric Cataract Register (PECARE). All children (n = 54) diagnosed with dense congenital unilateral cataract between Janu
Policy Highlights To achieve the recommendation stated in the title, we propose the following: • Maritime spatial planning (MSP) is a mandated approach set forth by the EU to develop a common framework to manage maritime spaces. MSP helps to bring together the perspectives of diverse stakeholders, although challenges exist to ensure it equitably reflects their needs and concerns. The Portuguese ca
Programming is a cognitively demanding exercise. In particular, today’s software development requires a collective effort of programmers and the orchestration of a complex programming infrastructure. As disruptive technologies emerge, e.g., AI and quantum computing, the programming practice is undergoing a change, facing an uncertain future that we may not be able to accurately predict but can env
Astrophysicists have long studied the early Universe in an attempt to explain where galaxies, and by proxy us, come from. In this thesis, the global properties of galaxies at z = 3, where star formation plays a large part , are studied when changing the stellar feedback strength and resolution in simulations. The simulation code used is based on RAMSES, using a similar setup to VINTERGATAN. Four s

* The ectomycorrhizal fungus Laccaria bicolor has the largest genome of all fungi yet sequenced. The large genome size is partly a result of an expansion of gene family sizes. Among the largest gene families are protein kinases and RAS small guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases), which are key components of signal transduction pathways. * Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analyses were used to e
BackgroundStandardised mortality ratio (SMR) is a common quality indicator in critical care and is the ratio between observed mortality and expected mortality. Typically, in-hospital mortality is used to derive SMR, but the use of a time-fixed, more objective, end-point has been advocated. This study aimed to determine the relationship between in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality on a compre
The spectrum of mutations in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene in a Swedish type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD) population was investigated. To gain more knowledge about the dynamics of VWD mutations, the data were analyzed from a population genetics perspective. The VWF gene was resequenced in 54 Swedish patients diagnosed with type 1 VWD. Fifty-five variable sites were located in exons, 10 in
