More than 100 distinct mutations in the gene (SOD1) for human copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) have been associated with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS). Studies of these mutant proteins, which often have been performed under far from physiological conditions, have indicated effects on protein stabilities, catalytic activity, and metal binding affinities but with no common

This study aims at assess the importance of a conceptual representation of hydrological processes when modelling atmospheric circulation. It compares results from a regional atmospheric model that interprets land surface hydrological processes based on parameterizations with results from a two-way coupled atmosphere-hydrological model that has a process-based approach to the land surface hydrologi

Disasters, especially the larger ones, stir increasing interest amongst researchers, who immediately converge to affected areas to conduct studies of various kinds, from characterisation of the hazards and infrastructure damage assessment to social surveys on the impact of the events and post-traumatic stress disorder. Such an influx of scholars into areas that otherwise often receive limited atte

Knowledge of how blood perfusion is affected during and after reconstructive surgery is of great importance to predict the survival of grafts and flaps. When commonly used reconstructive procedures were developed a century ago, they were based on empirical observations of clinical outcome. However, today modern, non-invasive techniques are available to monitor perfusion during and after surgery. A

Climate Adaptation and Human Rights (JXCA01) – Distance Course in English Climate change affects societies, ecosystems, and people’s living conditions across the globe. Addressing growing risks such as floods, heatwaves, droughts, and other climate-related disasters requires not only technical solutions, but also socially just and inclusive strategies. This online course in Climate Adaptation and

Former Professor emeritus in sociology at Lund University From 2000 to 2007, Lindberg founded and coordinated the Swedish South Asian Studies Network (SASNET) at Lund University. During this time, a number of collaborative research projects were stimulated, including support for meetings of South Asian sociologists in 2005.   In the fall of 1966 he studied Tamil at Annamalai University in Tamil Na

Fuel cells, redox flow batteries and some water desalination technologies such as reverse osmosis and electrodialysis require efficient ion exchange membranes to perform in an optimum way. Thus, by enhancing the properties of these membranes there is a possibility to improve this type of applications and technologies. Depending on the specific application, anion or proton exchange membranes with g

This study examines the determinants behind the restructuring of China's SOEs in the late 1990s. We have reached two major findings. First, we find that the degree of labor retrenchment is negatively related to enterprise performance, suggesting that poor performance is a major force driving labor restructuring. Second, we offer evidence that decisions on labor retrenchment in traditional SOEs are

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har utbredningen och förekomsten i av många arter av fåglar, växter och insekter knutna till jordbrukslandskap på olika håll i Europa minskat på grund av jordbrukets rationalisering och intensifiering. För att motverka dessa negativa trender måste man ha kännedom om den relativa betydelsen av lokala och regionala ekologiska processer för popDuring the last decades, the distribution and abundance of many European species of birds, plants and insects in agricultural landscapes have declined due to agricultural intensification. To be able to mitigate these declines, it is essential to know the relative importance on local and regional ecological processes on population persistence and patterns of species richness. I have studied the ef

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut bukspottkörtelinflammation (akut pankreatit - AP) är en tämligen frekvent förekommande åkomma med en årlig incidens på 300-350/100 000 invånare i Sverige. De underliggande mekanismerna för den lokalt initierande skadan i bukspottkörteln, spridning till ett systemiskt (i hela kroppen) inflammatoriskt svar och den eventuella utvecklingen av organdysfunktion (organsviAcute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disease where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The overall aim of the thesis was to study mechanisms of the inflammatory response in AP with special emphasis on local, systemic, and distant organ injury directed at differe

In the light of reports of decreasing litteracy among Sweden’s youth, several public studies indicate the importance of promoting reading at an early age. In this context, library activities directed at preschools has been pointed out as especially important. Although there is presently no requirement for preschools to have access to a school library, which is the case for elementary schools, the

Local agricultural emissions contribute significantly to the atmospheric reactive nitrogen loads of Danish terrestrial ecosystems. In the vicinity of the sources this may be up to 6-8 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) depending on location and ecosystem type. This contribution arises from dry deposition of gas phase ammonia derived from local livestock production. Long-range transport, however, often constitutes

Different approaches to the theoretical study of the local centres in solids are discussed. Particular attention is paid to the embedded-cluster models. There are given the mathematical formulation, the computational scheme and applications for some local centres on/in graphite monolayers of the moderately large embedded cluster and the large-unit-cell-embedded-cluster (LUC-EC) models. It is shown

We study the phase behavior of single homopolymers in a simple hydrophobic/hydrophilic off-lattice model with sequence independent local interactions. The specific heat is, not unexpectedly, found to exhibit a pronounced peak well below the collapse temperature, signalling a possible low-temperature phase transition. The system size dependence at this maximum is investigated both with and without

Long term multiple systemic antibiotics form the cornerstone in the treatment of bone and joint tuberculosis, often combined with local surgical eradication. Implanted carriers for local drug delivery have recently been introduced to overcome some of the limitations associated with conventional treatment strategies. In this study, we used a calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CSH)/nanohydroxyapatite (nH

Dynamical mean-field theory describes the impact of strong local correlation effects in many-electron systems. While the single-particle spectral function is directly obtained within the formalism, two-particle susceptibilities can also be obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The solution requires handling infinite matrices in Matsubara frequency space. This is commonly treated using a
