Popular science summaryMycorrhizal associations Mycorrhizal fungi are organisms that live in association with plant roots and provide plants with water and nutrients in exchange for the sugars obtained during photosynthesis. In forested ecosystems mycorrhizal fungi are crucial for tree nutrition and trees rely heavily on these associations to take up key elements like nitrogen and phosphorus. As rHigh levels of nitrogen (N) deposition might result in a transition from N to phosphorus (P) limitation in high latitude forests. Thiscould have fundamental consequences for forest production, nutrient acquisition and nutrient leaching.I studied a Norway spruce forest in a region of high N deposition in southwest Sweden and added N, P or N+P to force thesystem to N or P limitation. I studied tree

Clinical education is a significant part of nursing education on all levels of education. A lot of effort is made by educational providers to prepare the students for their clinical placement (Levett-Jones et al., 2015). At best, this is a shared enterprise, involving representatives from the profession in creating a useful clinical placement for the students. However, the strain on clinical nurse

Popular Abstract in Swedish Med snabbare och pålitligare analysresultat finns stora möjligheter till ett ökat utnyttjande av avfallsresurser för produktion av förnybar energi. Resultat från min forskning gör det möjligt att analysera råvaror för biogasproduktion med större säkerhet och med möjligheten att få upp till nio gånger snabbare resultat. Produktion av biogas har under den senaste tiden öA sustainable treatment of organic wastes, generation of renewable energy, reduction of green house gas emissions, limiting the eutrophication and closing the nutrient cycles are several environmental challenges for which anaerobic digestion may be a suitable solution. There is today a large amount of available organic waste materials that could serve as potential feedstock for biogas production.

Popular Abstract in Swedish HIV är en av de dödligaste farsoterna i världen och 30-40 miljoner människor beräknas ha dött AIDS. Genom att konstant förändra sig ligger viruset hela tiden ett steg före immunförsvaret, och immunförsvaret klarar därför inte av att bekämpa infektionen. HIV skiljer sig också från andra virus genom att det drabbar och långsamt utplånar immunförsvaret. Det gör att HIV kanThe two genetically related human lentiviruses known today, HIV-1 (which is pandemic) and HIV-2 (which mainly is confined to West Africa), are the causative agents of AIDS. Progressive immune dysfunction and AIDS develop in most cases of untreated HIV-1 infection, but only in approximately 25-30% of HIV-2 infected individuals. The V1-V3 region of the HIV-1 env gp120 is important for HIV-1 corecept

The clinical and sociodemographic features of spiritist mediums enrolled in Brazilian spiritist centers were investigated in this study and compared with the scientific literature on DID patients. Despite the pauc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arbetsförmåga har kommit att bli ett viktigt begrepp i samhället, men också för individen. Det saknas i dag en tydlig definition av arbetsförmåga, trots att det har en stor inverkan på hur sjukförmåner distribueras och också för den enskilde individens möjlighet att försörja sig. I västvärlden är arbetsförmåga ofta diskuterat i relation till sjukskrivning och en åldrad The overall aim of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of work ability by analyzing how different health professionals experience and perceive work ability and assessments of work ability, and also by analyzing rehabilitation outcomes that are related to work ability. The focus has been on musculoskeletal disorders with associated psychosocial factors. Method. The general approach was indu

Aims/hypothesis: Data analyses from Swedish individuals with newly diagnosed diabetes have suggested that diabetes could be classified into five subtypes that differ with respect to the progression of dysglycaemia and the incidence of diabetes consequences. We assessed this classification in a multiethnic cohort of participants with established and newly diagnosed diabetes, randomly allocated to i

BackgroundGender-based violence (GBV) is an internationally widespread human rights and public health issue, known to be exacerbated and underreported in humanitarian settings and among conflict-affected populations. A combination of factors including increased vulnerability, lack of protection and marginalization are believed to increase the risk for GBV in settings such as displacement and refug

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), are a leading cause ofmorbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate risk evaluation in patients presenting with chest pain isessential for optimizing emergency department (ED) resource allocation and patient outcomes. Currentclinical decision support tools rely on structured risk scores and biomarker measurements, such as hi

Context. Young massive stars inject energy and momentum into the surrounding gas, creating a multi-phase interstellar medium (ISM) and regulating further star formation. The main challenge of studying stellar feedback proves to be the variety of scales spanned by this phenomenon, ranging from the immediate surrounding of the stars (Ha II regions, 10s pc scales) to galactic-wide kiloparsec scales.

Interactions between obesity and breast cancer Breast cancer and obesity are both diseases that are afflicting more and more women at an alarming rate in the Western world. In this project we examined how fat cells under different obesity-associated conditions, influenced breast cancer cells. We showed that breast cancer cells are affected by fat cells regarding both cell growth and movement. B

Varumärken är värdefulla tillgångar som kan generera stora ekonomiska vinster. Till följd av det värde färgvarumärken kan erhålla finns ett behov av att kunna registrera färgmärken för att erhålla skydd mot eventuella konkurrenter. Det står förvisso klart att abstrakta färger kan registreras och varumärkesskyddas, men registrering är inte oproblematisk och färger saknar ofta förutsättningar för atIt is now possible to register and protect abstract colours, but such registrations are not without its complications and the conditions for registration often fall short of requirements. There is an even greater uncertainty surrounding the protection that may follow from registration, which to a large extent is the result of too few precedents in the area. The purpose of this thesis is to describ

We live in a busy world, where the demand of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad products has increased rapidly in a relatively short time. Despite of being an easy and fast way to add more vegetables to the daily diet, RTE salads have a serious underlying risk and the amount of vegetable-derived foodborne disease outbreaks has been increasing. The aim of the present study is to protect plants against contam

Detta examensarbete ger ett förslag på en ny järnvägsstation i Kirunas nya centrum. I Kiruna pågår just nu en stadsomvandling, där en tredjedel av staden flyttas tre kilometer österut på grund av markdeformationer från Kirunagruvan. Detta innebär stora förändringar för Kirunaborna men även stora förändringar i stadsbilden, då majoriteten av centrum har eller kommer rivas och byggas upp igen i nya This thesis gives a suggestion for a new railway station in the new city center of Kiruna, Sweden. Kiruna is now experiencing an urban transformation, where one third of the population and the city moves three kilometers to the east due to ground deformations coming from the Kiruna iron ore mine. This leads to huge changes for Kiruna’s population, but also huge changes in the cityscape, since most

Frågan om en svensk reglering som medger tvångsvård av dementa har länge omdebatterats i media och varit föremål för flertalet utredningar. Så sent som den 29 november 2012 presenterade den nuvarande regeringen en lagrådsremiss innehållande förslag till en ny lag som i vissa fall tillåter tvångsåtgärder gentemot dementa inom socialtjänsten. Demenssjukdomar är vanliga och åldern är den främsta riskThe issue of a Swedish regulation which permits compulsory treatment of individuals suffering from dementia has been the subject of several investigations during the last three decades. In November 2012, the Swedish government presented a referral to the Council on Legislation containing proposals for a new law that in some cases allow coercive measures against individuals suffering from dementia
