In low-and middle-income countries, inadequate sanitation results in faecal contamination of the water used by urban farmers for irrigation. Consumers of raw contaminated vegetables run the risk of developing diarrhoeal diseases and helminth infections, which are a leading cause of under-five mortality and impact the well-being and productivity of millions of adults. This review identifies the evi

Background: In Northern Province, Rwanda, stunting is common among children aged under 5 years. However, previous studies on spatial analysis of childhood stunting in Rwanda did not assess its randomness and clustering, and none were conducted in Northern Province. We conducted a spatial-pattern analysis of childhood undernutrition to identify stunting clusters and hotspots for targeted interventi

We examined the relationship between in vivo estimates of tau deposition as measured by 18F-AV-1451 tau positron emission tomography imaging and cross-sectional cortical thickness, as well as rates of antecedent cortical thinning measured from magnetic resonance imaging in individuals with and without evidence of cerebral amyloid in 63 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiat

In this thesis, wastewater reuse was investigated from technological and social perspectives, based onwhich the thesis was divided into two parts. In the first part, the removal of chemical and microbialcontaminants by full-scale and pilot-scale granular activated carbon (GAC) filters, in different processcombinations, was examined. In the second part, the perceptions of reused wastewater were stu

Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at piers and abutments, including contraction scour. The design prin-ciples for bridges in Sweden, including both impacting forces and local scour, are relatively simplistic. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of extreme river flows on bridges

Conservation and consistency are fundamental properties of discretizations of conservation laws, necessary to ensure physically meaningful solutions. In the context of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, conservation and consistency additionally play an important role in convergence theory via the Lax-Wendroff theorem. Here, these concepts are extended to the realm of iterative meth

In this study, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is employed to investigate the hydrodynamic and combustion characteristics of biomass particles in an industrial-scale circulating fluidized bed (CFB) furnace. The CFD model considered here is based on the Eulerian-Lagrangian framework, the multi-phase particle-in-cell (MP-PIC) collision model, the coarse grain method (CGM

An efficient immune system is essential to the survival of many animals. Sociality increases risk of pathogen transmission, which should select for enhanced immune function. However, two hypotheses instead predict a weakened immune function: relaxed selection caused by social immunity/protection, and reduced efficacy of selection due to inbreeding, reproductive skew and female bias in social speci

Malignant brain tumors constitute a disaster in the lives of patients, either in the form of extremely low survival in glioblastoma, or the serious long-term adverse effects of therapy in medulloblastoma. These two tumor types represent the most common malignant brain entities in adults and children, respectively. Ever since the early 2000’s, no major improvement of patient outcomes occurred. Immu

Hypothesis: Self-assembly of amphipathic styrene maleic acid copolymers with phospholipids in aqueous solution results in the formation of ‘nanodiscs’ containing a planar segment of phospholipid bilayer encapsulated by a polymer belt. Recently, studies have reported that lipids rapidly exchange between both nanodiscs in solution and external sources of lipids. Outstanding questions remain regardin

Introduction: Perioperative dosing recommendations vary across Nordic haemophilia treatment centres (HTCs) for extended half-life (EHL) factor concentrates in haemophilia A/B (HA/HB) patients. Aim: To summarise Nordic real-world surgical experiences with EHL recombinant factor VIII/IX Fc (rFVIIIFc/rFIXFc) fusion proteins using retrospective data from clinical records at four HTCs in Finland, Swede

Background: Early diagnosis and compression treatment are important to prevent progression in breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRAL). However, some mild BCRAL can be reversible, and therefore, compression treatment may not be needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the proportion of women with mild BCRAL showing progression/no progression of lymphedema after treatment with or withou

This research investigated convective heat transfer and hydraulic resistance of smooth and corrugated double-tube heat exchangers at various flow rates from 60 L/h to 200 L/h. The inner tube with a thread structure is designed with three pitches, i.e., 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm. Nanofluids are used as tube-side fluids to analyze the enhancement of heat transfer on the inner tube side. Results show that

The prediction of species geographic redistribution under climate change (i.e. range shifts) has been addressed by both experimental and modelling approaches and can be used to inform efficient policy measures on the functioning and services of future ecosystems. Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are considered state-of-the art tools to understand and quantify the spatio-temporal dynamics o

Background: Fear of falling (FoF) is very common in persons with late effects of polio (LEoP). An internationally recognized rating scale to assess FoF is the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Yet, there is limited knowledge about its measurement properties in persons with LEoP. Objective: To investigate the measurement properties of the FES-I (16-item version) and the short FES-I (7-ite

Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna hos västerlänningar. Prostatacancer i sig utgör den näst vanligaste tumören hos män över hela världen. I två tredjedelar av fallen är prostatacancer inte livshotande. Den sista tredjedelen kan botas fullständigt förutom om metastaserna sprids för långt ifrån körteln till resten av kroppen. Den här formen av tumörer är lämplig för fotodynamisk terapi (PDTInterstitial photodynamic therapy is a local solid cancer treatment technique that relies on the simultaneous presence of light, photosensitizer and oxygen. SpectraCure AB has been developing a light delivery system for prostate cancer therapy. The use of this instrument is meant to be extended to other solid tumor treatments such as cancer in the pancreas or the ear, nose and throat tract. The co

1 SUPPORT MATERIAL FOR MANAGERS HR web Managing victimisation The management of victimisation at Lund University is described in a process. Here, managers can read more about preventive work as well as the consequences and measures that may become applicable if a case of victimisation has been revealed. The process is presented through an image. The image describes the four different steps of the
