Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and a residue from dry olive cake (DOC) supplemented with rock phosphate (RP) and treated with either Aspergillus niger (DOC-A) or Phanerochaete chrysosporium (DOC-P), were assayed in a natural, semi-arid soil using Trifolium repens or Dorycnium pentaphyllum plants. The effects of the AM fungi and/or DOC-A were compared with P-fertilisation (P) over eleven success

The lichen family Teloschistaceae is one of the larger families of lichenized fungi. Currently it includes one very large heterogenous genus, Caloplaca, with some 1000 or more species with a vast variation in morphology, anatomy and chemistry. The rest of the family is split into 1015 smaller genera, each with 20 or fewer species. There is no modern classification of the family based on molecular

Research on HIV vaccines, as well as studies on HIV pathogenesis in human and SIV in the macaque model, require the availability of simple and standardized assays for quantification of neutralizing antibodies to primary virus isolates. We have recently developed and standardized assays using human cell lines engineered to express CD4 and co-receptors for HIV and SIV entry. One cell line originated

Previous research has shown that intermediate-advanced L2 learners of Swedish with a non-tonal L1 can use word accents to predict the upcoming suffix as L1 Swedish speakers do. This was also the case of low-intermediate L2 learners who produced word accents after being instructed on the Swedish prosodic system. On the contrary, previous findings on L2 Swedish learners with a tonal L1 exhibited no

Den svenska polisen har befogenhet och skyldighet att upprätthålla allmän ordning och säkerhet i Sverige. För att uppnå detta mål har polisen blivit tilldelad olika maktbefogenheter. Det faktum att en myndighet får i uppgift att upprätthålla allmän ordning är dock förknippat med ett antal risker. Befogenheter kan misstolkas och fördomar kan påverka den enskilde polisens handlande. I den här teor

Kan spridning av bröstcancerceller förutspås? Bröstcancer är i dag världens vanligaste cancerform bland kvinnor. För att kunna fastställa en prognos som ger en bild över överlevnadsmöjligheten utförs flertalet undersökningar. Dels undersöks armhålan genom en ifrågasatt operation för att se om cancern spridits till armhålans lymfkörtlar. Frågan som ställs här är om det finns egenskaper hos bröstca

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Allt flera människor flyr från sitt hemland pga. krig, hot eller förföljelse, de söker skydd hos mottagande land. Papperslösa personer tillhör dessa grupp av människor, de är en extremt utsatt grupp bland Europas befolkning både inom vården och bland allmänheten. De får oftast ojämlikt vård och riskerar därför att få sämre hälsoutfall jämfört med resten av befolkning. Majoritete

The last mass-extinction event happened over 65 million years ago when an asteroid collided with earth, resulting in the loss of 76% of all species. Scientists now warn that we are on the precipice of a new mass-extinction, the responsibility of which can be placed entirely on one species, the homo sapiens. While some species of birds, bats, and arthropods are especially vulnerable, we are all int

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur kompositionsprocessen kan se ut för tre skånska kompositörer av instrumental jazzmusik. Studien utfördes genom individuella intervjuer. Samtliga informanter har skrivit längre svitliknande musik för stora ensembler. Hur relaterar deras musik och process till deras personliga bakgrund som kompositörer? Hur ser arbetsföljden ut när det gäller de olika momentenThe purpose of this study is to investigate how three professional jazz composers describe their process when composing instrumental jazz music. The study was carried out through interviews with three composers based in the south of Sweden, who had all composed extended suite-like pieces for large ensembles. How does their music and process relate to their personal background as composers? What is

Öresundsområdet har en unik ställning i Sverige genom att ha en tät förbindelse till Danmarks huvudstad och kommersiella centrum. För att stärka möjligheten att nyttja denna täta förbindelse ingicks 2003 det så kallade Öresundsavtalet. Öresundsavtalet behandlar i huvudsak beskattning av personer som bor på den ena sidan av Öresund och arbetar på den andra och möjliggör således i större utsträckninThe Öresund region has a unique position in Sweden in that it is closely linked to the Danish capital and commercial centre. In order to strengthen the possibility of utilising this close connection, the so-called Öresund Agreement was concluded in 2003. The Öresund Agreement deals mainly with taxation of persons living on one side of the Öresund and working on the other, and thus enables more str

Unika syntesmetoder för katalysatormaterial till förnyelsebar vätgasproduktion. Hur ser kemiska reaktioner ut och hur går dem till? I detta examensarbete demonstreras hur syntesparameterar påverkar kemiska reaktioner av oorganiska nanomaterial och hur dessa kan styras för att uppnå framtidens material med önskvärda egenskaper. Kristallina nanopartiklar av nickel, arsenik och antimon studerades unTransition metal-pnictides are a select field of crystalline materials which allows property modification of common d-block metals through alloying with pnictides. Among them, Nickel-based pnictides have been gaining attention due to their earth abundance and low cost. Ni-As and Ni-Sb have both demonstrated the use as catalyst materials for the hydrogen- and oxygen evolution reactions where contro

This thesis investigates the focusing performance and robustness of auto-focusing Airy beams in near-field wireless communication scenarios. Through a combination of simulations using MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory, a numerical computing environment) and full-wave electromagnetic simulations in FEKO (Feldberechnung für Körper mit beliebiger Oberfläche, an electromagnetic solver developed by Altair), th

Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is a cool-season, short-day crop that tuberize effectively at temperatures between 15°C-19°C and at a day length of about 12 hours. These environmental requirements pose a moderate challenge to potato cultivar in different region globally. In Northern Europe, summers are characterized by the prolonged daylight and temperature that frequently exceed 19℃. Such conditions c

Fysik är i huvudsak ett studium av dynamiken i världen runt oss, hur saker rör sig och förändras över tid. Det är elektroners dynamik som står i fokus för det här arbetet. Historiskt har det inte varit möjligt att studera elektroners rörelse i detalj på grund av att rörelserna sker på extremt små tidsskalor. Tänk dig en trafikerad gata som du fotograferar två gånger med tio minuters mellanrum. StiThe availability of light pulses down to the attosecond timescale has led to the development of spectroscopic methods capable of resolving the dynamics of electrons. By studying the interference of electron wave packets (EWP) on their natural timescales, greater understanding of the dynamics can be gained. An attosecond pump-probe technique has been applied previously in Lund to study attosecond

The invasive oomycete pathogen Aphanomyces astaci significantly threatens native European crayfish populations, prompting investigations towards the effects of protective immunostimulation on the immune response of the vulnerable noble crayfish (Astacus astacus). Here, we evaluate the effect of three oomycete-derived immunostimulant treatments: laminarin (β-1,3-glucan found within the Ap. astaci c

Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4), the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD), is vital for understanding cellular processes involved in AD pathogenesis. Evidence implicates endosomes as a central player in AD, where endosomal enlargement in neurons is among the earliest changes in AD. This enlargement was reported to be enhanced in APOE4 carriers. Cells internalize ApoE into endosomes for

Introduction: Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a dismal prognosis. The majority of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and for these patients, the only possible treatment is palliative chemotherapy. There are increasing data from retrospective studies indicating that a subgroup of patients with liver-limited metastases may benefit from surgical treatment of liver

Introduction: Taxonomic instability within the dynamic gut microbiome of very preterm infants can be associated with various adverse outcomes. This longitudinal study was designed to follow the trajectory of microbiome composition and abundance in a cohort of probiotic supplemented very preterm infants with and without sepsis. Methods: Stool samples (n = 180) from probiotic-supplemented participan
