The function of cultured mast cells may depend on genetic or environmental influence on the stem cell donor. This study investigates whether asthma or atopy in the donor influenced the growth and sensitivity of mast cells cultured from patients with asthma and healthy controls under identical conditions. Mast cells were cultured from peripheral blood from twelve patients with an objectively confir
Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of
This work applied Bayesian Optimization (BO) for the task of calibrating methane-related parameters in the Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS v4.1). A Gaussian Process (GP) was used as the surrogate model within the BO framework. Additionally, other enhancements we applied to the BO framework such as the use of complexity-penalizing priors for GP hyperparameters and numerical
This thesis investigates machine learning-based control charts with Variable Pa- rameters(VP)formonitoringGeneralizedLinearModel(GLM)profiles. Previous studies have examined machine learning control charts under Fixed Parameters (FP) schemes for several GLM distributions, while VP schemes have mainly been studied for Binomial profiles with logit link. This thesis extends the VP frame- work to two
Plant-based meat analogs (PBMAs) are defined as foods formulated from plant proteins that imitate meat structure, flavor and physical appearance. In the past decade, the market for PBMA has increased nearly threefold with global retail sales of $6,6 billion in 2024 compared to $2,2 billion in 2015, as part of a broader shift toward a more plant-based diet. However, knowledge of the microbiological
Popular Abstract in English Look around and notice how many items have been manufactured or transported using petroleum-based products. In modern life, it is almost an impossible task to exclude them from our daily routine. They are present in plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products, medicaments, food, etc. To diminish our dependence on the demanded black liquid, a lot of research efforts have beenDepletion of easily accessible fossil energy resources, threat of climate change and political priority to achieve energy self-sufficiency and sustainable solutions prioritize a conscious and smart use of renewable resources to generate a bio-based economy. Bio-based compounds can replace chemicals and fuels that are now mainly produced from crude oil. Efficient processes for the conversion of pla
Objective: The aim was to compare rapid antigen detection test (RADT) and throat culture for group A streptococci (GAS) among patients recently treated with penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Design and setting: The study was a secondary analysis within a randomized controlled trial comparing 5 versus 10 days of penicillin V for GAS pharyngotonsillitis. Patients were recruited at 17 primary
Objective. To explore long-term cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients after a first myocardial infarction (MI) compared with matched controls in a contemporary setting. Methods. During 2010–2014 the Swedish study PAROKRANK recruited 805 patients <75 years with a first MI and 805 age-, gender-, and area-matched controls. All study participants were followed until 31 December 2018, throu
User-related assessment of a level 3 automated driving system, providing functions such as lane- and distance-keeping, stop & go driving, lane change and overtaking, was carried out on a motorway in Germany with the aim to assess user-related issues of automated driving, i.e., behavior when driving with automation on motorways, user experiences, reactions and acceptance. Twenty-one persons dro
Radium-226 carbonate was synthesized from radium-barium sulfate (226Ra0.76Ba0.24SO4) at room temperature and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) techniques. XRPD revealed that fractional crystallization occurred and that two phases were formed─the major Ra-rich phase, Ra(Ba)CO3, and a minor Ba-rich phase, Ba(Ra)CO3, crystallizing in
The geo-electrical survey (resistivity and induced polarization) with different settings, arrangements, time base, spreads and waveforms (50% and 100% duty cycle waveform) was carried out over the Liikavaara depo-sit, near the Aitik mine, in northern Sweden and all the measured data was inverted in two different softwares: Res2Dinv and AarhusInv. Surveys of induced polarization (IP) often contain
In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia
