The influence of aerosols, both natural and anthropogenic, remains a major area of uncertainty when predicting the properties and behaviour of clouds and their influence on climate. In an attempt to better understand warm cloud formation in a tropical marine environment, a period of intensive measurements took place in December 2004 in Puerto Rico, using some of the latest developments in online i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostatacancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer hos män i Sverige och ungefär 10 000 män diagnosticeras årligen. Prostatacancer tros orsakas av en kombination av ärftliga faktorer och miljö-/livsstilsfaktorer. De enda väletablerade riskfaktorerna för prostatacancer är ålder, etnicitet och ärftlighet inom familjer. För att kunna arbeta med förebyggande av denna sjukdomProstate cancer (PCa) is a heterogenous disease including very aggressive lethal tumors to incidentally discovered clinically insignificant tumors. Age, ethnicity, and family history are the only established risk factors. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been found to associate with increased overall cancer risk but with lower risk of specifically PCa. T2D is initially associated with increased

The implementation of anaerobic digestion is important in the concept of sustainable development, especially regarding the environmental benefits. Biogas is produced when organic matter is degraded by microorganisms under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions. Biogas production occurs in nature where oxygen is absent; in rice fields, landfills, sediments, the intestinal tract of animals, etc. The adv

Dendrochronology is a well-established dating method for wooden objects, but due to surface processing of construction timber or natural degradation the dating of historical wood often relies on a prediction of the number of missing rings based on sapwood statistics. Since Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is one of the most common tree species in north-western Europe, the absence of reliable sapwo

Anna Stubbendorff is this year’s winner of the Agenda 2030 Award for sustainability at Lund University. She is being recognised for research showing that when we put climate-friendly food on our plates, it has benefits for both the environment and individual health. In January, Anna Stubbendorff completed her PhD at the Faculty of Medicine with a thesis on sustainable diets and their impact on our

Background During the last decade, evidence has emerged on selective glomerular hypofiltration syndromes (SGHS), defined by selectively reduced filtration of middle-sized molecules irrespective of kidney function and resulting in a low ratio between cystatin C- and creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRcys/eGFRcr). We aimed to examine whether SGHS is a hallmark of premature k

Background: Intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) causes diagnostic challenges and increases the risk for disease recurrence. Quantification of ITH is challenging and has not been demonstrated in large studies. It has previously been shown that deep learning can enable spatially resolved prediction of molecular phenotypes from digital histopathology whole slide images (WSIs). Here we propose a novel me

Background: Strenuous exercise has been associated with functional and structural cardiac changes due to local and systemic inflammatory responses, reflecting oxidative, metabolic, hormonal, and thermal stress, even in healthy individuals. We aimed to assess changes in myocardial structure and function using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in master triathletes early after a full-d

Background: Immigrants from the Middle East (ME) have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the native-born Swedish population. In individuals free from T2D, ME immigrants are more insulin resistant and have lower levels of adjusted insulin secretion (Disposition index, DIo) compared to Swedish-born individuals. The ethnic differences are not fully explained by traditional risk

Research on human emotions towards large carnivores is often based on self-reported emotions. This study aimed to investigate physiological and behavioral responses to feared animals among people who say that they are fearful or not fearful of brown bear and wolf. Participants were recruited to be bear fearful only (n=8), fearful of both bear and wolves (n=15), or fearful of neither carnivore (n=1

OBJECTIVE: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is commonly diagnosed at an advanced stage. Liquid biopsy approaches may facilitate detection of early stage PDAC when curative treatments can be employed.DESIGN: To assess circulating marker discrimination in training, testing and validation patient cohorts (total n=426 patients), plasma markers were measured among PDAC cases and patients with ch

The human influence on Earth's ecosystems is omnipresent. Artificial light at night (ALAN), anthropogenic noise, and air pollution are inherent features of human activities and infrastructure and pose novel environmental challenges to urban-dwelling wildlife. So far, most of the studies investigating the impacts of exposure to urban pollutants on animals have either investigated the effects of urb

Johnson Matthey Formox är ett företag som designar och säljer fabriker för produktion av kemikalien formaldehyd. Företaget tillverkar även katalysatorer för detta ändamål. För att erbjuda en bra och konkurrenskraftig produkt till sina kunder är företaget måna om att processen skall vara effektiv och framförallt kostnadseffektiv.

The aim of the master thesis project was to investigate if and how water impacts the partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over a FeMo-catalyst. The investigation covers how water affects the selectivity to the main product a

Background: Efficient utilization of both glucose and xylose is necessary for a competitive ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials. Although many advances have been made in the development of xylose-fermenting strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the productivity remains much lower compared to glucose. Previous transcriptional analyses of recombinant xylose-fermenting strains have mainl

Patch-clamp recordings and glucagon release measurements were combined to determine the role of plasma membrane ATP-sensitive K+ channels (K-ATP channels) in the control of glucagon secretion from mouse pancreatic alpha-cells. In wild-type mouse islets, glucose produced a concentration-dependent (half-maximal inhibitory concentration [IC50] = 2.5 mmol/l) reduction of glucagon release. Maximum inhi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i Sverige. Årligen drabbas 7000 kvinnor i Sverige och cirka 1500 kvinnor dör av sin sjukdom. Bröstcancer uppkommer genom ett samspel mellan livsstil, miljö och gener. En kvinna som har en förstagradssläkting (t.ex. syster, mor) med bröstcancer har ungefär dubbelt så stor risk att drabbas av bröstcancer jämfört med eApproximately 7000 women are diagnosed and 1500 women die from breast cancer in Sweden every year. The aim of this thesis was to study the interplay of polymorphisms, hormone levels, lifestyle, and the use of concomitant medication in relation to risk and prognosis in two cohorts: one composed of young healthy women from high-risk breast cancer families and the other of breast cancer patients fro
