A Ph.D. Interview with Victoria Ptasinski Victoria Ptasinski, a Ph.D. student at Lund University, defended her thesis on November 27, 2023. Her academic journey has been driven by a burning interest to understand what she considers to be the biggest mystery in this world, the human lung, particularly concerning diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Through a close collaboration wit

Den organiserade brottsligheten i Sverige går som på ett löpande band i stigande riktning. Brottsbekämpande myndigheter gör vad de kan för att motverka denna utveckling men det blir allt svårare att hålla hårt i tyglarna. I ett försök att underlätta dessa myndigheters arbete beslutade regeringen den 5 augusti 2021 att tillsätta en särskild utredning med uppdrag att se över den lagstiftning som åOrganized crime in Sweden is on a continuous upward trend. Law enforcement authorities are doing what they can to counteract this development, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain control. In an attempt to facilitate the work of these authorities, the Government decided on August 5, 2021, to appoint a special inquiry tasked with reviewing the legislation that obliges providers of

Background: Residual air accumulated air in the pulmonary veins constitutes a challenge to achievment of complete de-airing in open left heart surgery. To adress this problem, a conceptual method for de-airing was developed in Lund comprising bilateral opening of the pleurae to induce pulmonary collapse and a strategy with gradual pulmonary reperfusion and ventilation at weaning from cardiopulmona

The scaling of high-mobility and superconducting transistors places strict demands on electrostatic control, making the gate capacitance a key factor for both performance and operational stability. In hybrid structures that combine semiconductors and superconductors, parasitic capacitances become particularly important, as fringing fields and heterogeneous material interfaces cause the total capac

Mobile connectivity is set to change in the coming years due to AI generated data from agents and robotics. How this will develop remains uncertain since this type of data generation is not only a question of connectivity but also compute location and use cases. This creates a need for forward looking scenario analysis for ecosystem players so they can position themselves to win in a new paradigm.

Offentlighetsprincipen är en fundamental grundbult i svensk rätt och spelar en väsentlig roll i den svenska identiteten och demokratin. Genom mediegrundlagarna är principen grundlagsskyddade. Med anledning av offentlighetsprincipen ges ett långtgående skydd för yttrande- och informationsfriheten, vilket kommer till uttryck i tryckfrihetsförordningen (1949:105) och yttrandefrihetsgrundlagen (1991:1The principle of public access to official records is a fundamental pillar of Swedish law and plays an essential role in Swedish identity and democracy. The principle is constitutionally protected by the Freedom of the Press Act and the Fundamental Law on Freedom of Expression. Due to the principle of public access to official records, comprehensive protection is given to freedom of speech and inf

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) involves blood clot formation in veins, resulting in serious health issues. Fibrinogen, a crucial clotting protein, consists of three polypeptides encoded by the fibrinogen genes: alpha (FGA), beta (FGB) and gamma (FGG). We genotyped most common missense variants in the fibrinogen genes in relation to VTE, recurrence and family history in Malmö Thrombophilia Study, inc

Phosphoryl transfer plays key roles in signaling, energy transduction, protein synthesis, and maintaining the integrity of the genetic material. On the surface, it would appear to be a simple nucleophile displacement reaction. However, this simplicity is deceptive, as, even in aqueous solution, the low-lying d-orbitals on the phosphorus atom allow for eight distinct mechanistic possibilities, befo

Episodic memory allows the flexible retrieval of commonalities and idiosyncrasies of overlapping life events. For example, seeing a woman in the city with your colleague's daughter may form an integrated memory representation involving the woman and your colleague. However, you may also keep a specific representation of the city event to talk with your colleague about the circumstances of having m

BACKGROUND: Nearly a quarter of patients with locally advanced (T4 stage) or perforated colon cancer are at risk of developing peritoneal metastases, often without curative treatment options. We aimed to determine the efficacy of adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with locally advanced colon cancer.METHODS: This multicentre, open-label trial was done in nine hos

Ammonia (NH3) is regarded as a promising future carbon-free fuel but needs to overcome drawbacks including extremely low burning velocity in practical combustion apparatus. In this study, ozone (O3) additive is used to elucidate one of the mechanisms of potential flame enhancement method based on plasma-assisted combustion. The effects of ozone addition on the laminar burning velocity of premixed

The effort to address climate change cuts across a wide range of non-environmental actors and policy areas, including international economic institutions such as the Group of Twenty (G20), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These institutions do not tend to address climate change so much as an environmental issue, but as an eco

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: High resolution 7T MRI is increasingly used to investigate hippocampal subfields in vivo, but most studies rely on manual segmentation which is labor intensive. We aimed to evaluate an automated technique to segment hippocampal subfields and the entorhinal cortex at 7T MRI.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cornu ammonis (CA)1, CA2, CA3, dentate gyrus, subiculum, and entorhinal cor

Objective: Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is a well established treatment for complex abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). FEVAR with custom made devices (CMDs) has limitations in both the emergency and elective settings due to time consuming manufacture. “Off the shelf” (OTS) fenestrated stent grafts are a potential solution. The primary goal was to evaluate the five year outcome

Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may impact early growth, although information is limited on exposure to combination of multiple EDCs. We aimed to evaluate the effect of prenatal exposure to EDC mixtures on birthweight z-scores and childhood weight trajectories. Twenty-six proven and suspected EDCs, were analyzed in prenatal urine and blood samples from 1118 mothers participating

Materials of ionic crystals are ubiquitous in industrial chemistry.For example, materials such as cerium dioixde (CeO2) are used in both self-cleaning ovens and to clean exhaust fumes from cars.Other materials, such as titanium dioixde (TiO2) has been used in the solar-cell industry.So-called garnets are used in several lasers.In common for all of these areas of application, is that they are depen

Background: Active travel has a potential to increase children ' s physical activity (PA). Pedometers offer a valid option to measure PA, but do not capture cycling activity. Children ' s self-reported cycling distances can be analyzed by the Geografic Information System (GIS). Aim: To combine pedometry and GIS mapping to identify the relative amount of cycling in children ' s PA. Study group: Of

OBJECTIVE: Obesity is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes; however, up to 20% of patients are normal weight. Our aim was to identify metabolite patterns reproducibly predictive of BMI and subsequently to test whether lean individuals who carry an obese metabolome are at hidden high risk of obesity-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Levels of 108 metabolites we
