A novel concept of cold neutron source employing chessboard or staircase assemblies of high-aspect-ratio rectangular para-hydrogen moderators with well-developed and practically fully illuminated surfaces of the individual moderators is proposed. An analytic approach for calculating the brightness of para-hydrogen moderators is introduced. Because the brightness gain originates from a near-surface

Background. The urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) system is involved in tissue remodelling processes and is up-regulated in many types of malignancies. We investigated whether serum levels of different forms of soluble uPA receptor (suPAR) are associated with survival and in particular with prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality. Methods. Using time-resolved fluorescence immunoas

Environmental manipulation experiments showed that species respond individualistically to each environmental-change variable. The greatest responses of plants were generally to nutrient, particularly nitrogen, addition. Summer warming experiments showed that woody plant responses were dominant and that mosses and lichens became less abundant. Responses to warming were controlled by moisture availa

The effect of the pineal indole hormone melatonin on the life span of mice, rats and fruit flies has been studied using various approaches. It has been observed that in female CBA, SHR, SAM and transgenic HER-2/neu mice long-term administration of melatonin was followed by an increase in the mean life span. In rats, melatonin treatment increased survival of male and female rats. In D. melanogaster

The cardiovascular risk for users of use of Swedish snus/American snuff (moist tobacco) has been debated for a long time. The present study was designed to examine the effects of water- or lipid-soluble (DMSO-soluble) snus and nicotine, the most important substance in tobacco, on the expression of vasocontractile G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR), such as endothelin ETB, serotonin 5-HT1B, and thr

Purpose: In one form of human autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa and in retinal degeneration (rd1) mouse, mutation occurs in the genes encoding ß subunit of rod photoreceptor cGMP phosphodiesterase. Therefore, rd1 mutant mouse is an appropriate model for human inherited retinal degeneration studies. Retinal explants are successfully cultured in serum free chemically defined R16 medium to eva

Elevated prediagnostic testosterone and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentrations have been proposed to increase risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the metabolism of these hormones is altered as a consequence of liver damage and they may have clinical utility as HCC risk markers. A case-control study was nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and N

SAYP 2021, Lund University: Innovation Ecosystems and Entrepreneurship SAYP 2021, Lund University: Innovation Ecosystems and Entrepreneurship SAYP is a training programme financed and initiated by the Swedish Institute which is de- veloped to build new networks, knowledge and practices for increased transparency, efficiency and resilience in public administration in the Western Balkan countries.

Alfdex is the market leader for high efficient solutions for removing particles from crankcase gases in diesel engines. Alfdex aims to expand to new markets by exploring the possibility to adapt their technology to clean the intake air of diesel engines. When designing and developing air cleaning systems, the two most critical parameters are the pressure drop and the cleaning efficiency. A Computa

Internal control of foreigners is a measure of migration control employed by the Swedish state, with two main goals: to monitor that no foreigners reside in the country without legal permits, and to find and detain foreigners who are to be deported. Charged by the government to increase efficiency in expulsions, the Migration Board, The National Police Board and the Prison and Probation Service in

This thesis focuses on the presence and significance of silence in the poetic work The Psalms of Struggle and Liberation (1964), by the Nicaraguan liberation theologian Ernesto Cardenal, in which the biblical psaltery constitutes the base for a contextual interpretation. This study aims to prove the hypothesis that the white spaces in the psalms, created by the application of free verse, are possi

In recent years anti-genderism has increased in popularity, as the populist parties, illiberal governments and conservative groups have begun to implement the discourse into their politics. The discourse can function as a symbolic glue, political tool as well as part of the religious narrative. Anti-genderism can emerge in different parts of the world, however, in the post-Socialist states of Cent

The community fire protection programs, FireWise from the United States and FireSmart of Canada, aim to help protect individuals and communities from wildfires crossing into urban areas and destroying structures. As wildfires increase in severity and intensity in Sweden, and are predicted to continue doing so, it is important to investigate the possibility of implementing a similar program in Swed

För att nå ett fossilfritt och klimatneutralt Skåne krävs en omställning inom hela samhället, men hur kommer detta påverka energisystemet och vad ska vi prioritera för att minska klimatpåverkan i framtiden på ett effektivt sätt? Kan modelleringsverktyg som LEAP hjälpa till med att svara på dessa frågor? Resultatet pekar mot att transportsektorn kommer förbli den största energiförbrukaren i Skåne Climate change is one of the great challenges of our time and requires adaptation on many levels of society, including a transition to renewable energy sources. There is a goal to achieve a fossil-free and climate-neutral Scania by 2030, which puts pressure on the energy system which must also meet rising energy demands. The objective of this study was to describe the future energy demand in Scan

This paper examines the pricing structure of the European mobile subscription markets. The paper analyzes two questions: 1) what is the price level of mobile subscriptions across Europe today? 2) What factors influence the price level? A sample consisting of 33 operators from 15 European countries is collected for the purpose of the study. For 1) a pricing model is developed. The model includes “f

Bakgrund: Familjen påverkas på olika sätt när ett barn med funktionsnedsättning föds. Det ökade omvårdnadsbehovet som barnet med Downs Syndrom kan ha gör att normtypiska syskon kan få påverkan på sina vardagsaktiviteter. Detta då mer av föräldrarnas tid läggs på barnet med Downs syndrom. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vardagens aktiviteter och möjligheten till en meningsfull fritiBackground: Families are affected in different ways when a child with impairments is born. The increased caring need that the child with Down Syndrome may have, means that normtypical siblings’ everyday activities might be affected. This, because more of the parents' time is spent on the child with Down Syndrome. Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate everyday activities and the p

A physical lake model was employed to obtain a basis of discussing the impact of climate variability and climate change on the ecology of Lake Erken, Sweden. The validity of this approach was tested by running the PROBE-lake model for a 30-year period (STD) with observed meteorological data. The lake is adequately modelled, as seen in the comparison with actual lake observations. The validated lak
