Popular Abstract in English Popular Summary Since the beginning of mankind, humans have managed to find ways to make use of the resources available at hand in order to survive and even to improve their livelihoods. The basic needs for food as well as other amenities were met from plant- and animal resources until the 19th century when industrial revolution changed the base of production to fossilAbstract Biocatalysis is considered as benign and efficient alternative to chemical catalysis for organic syntheses. Lipases are the most versatile biological catalysts implemented so far with great potential for production of different chemicals and materials in non-conventional reaction media. This thesis presents investigations on lipase catalyzed esterification and transesterification reaction
Background: Heart diseases are among the leading causes of disease burden worldwide with often a large impact on the lives of the affected individuals. The association between heart disease and depression is well-known and elevated suicide risk has been demonstrated in several types of heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate what health care contacts individuals with heart disease
Memories from the transition transports the listener to a future Malmö and tells a story of how a transition to a fossil-free city may look like. Our aim is that the soundwalk will contribute to a discussion and spark creativity regarding the transition to a post-fossil society. The soundwalk covers interesting and thought provoking questions about the climate crisis, the future, and how to transi

Lund University participates in education and research collaborations with partners from all over the world. Geopolitical changes affect our organisation, and when international collaborations are to be developed or deepened, global responsible engagement becomes more significant. Global responsible engagement entails that through international collaborations the University promotes academic freed
Background: NOTCH1 PEST domain mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia have recently been shown to be of prognostic relevance. Both NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 are constitutively activated in B-cell CLL but not expressed in normal B cells and may be involved in survival and resistance to apoptosis in CLL. We screened for mutations in different parts of both NOTCH1 and NOTCH2 genes and related the changes
Objective The development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) confers a high risk of mortality in primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) patients, but the sensitivity and specificity of proposed lymphoma predictors are insufficient for practical use. The performance of lymphoid organisation in the form of germinal centre (GC)-like lesions was evaluated in labial salivary gland biopsies taken at pSS diagnosi
In the study reported here we examined the short-term effects (1-3 years) of slash retention (SR) and the long-term effects (13-15 years) of wood-ash application (A) on fine roots and mycorrhizae in a 40-year-old Norway spruce forest in southwest Sweden. Soil cores were used to obtain estimates of the biomass (g m(-2)) of roots in three diameter classes (< 0.5, 0.5-1 and 1-2 mm), root length densi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Barn och ungdomar med hörselnedsättning har, i högre grad än jämnåriga kamrater utan hörselnedsättning, språkliga problem. Dessa problem märks när barnen gått några år i skolan och större krav ställs på deras läsförmåga och på deras förmåga att uttrycka sig i tal och skrift. Problemen kan yttra sig tidigt och på olika sätt, som svårigheter med att uttala och särskilja sThe aim of the present thesis was to explore reading comprehension and narration in children and adolescents with different degrees of hearing impairment (HI). In Study I, reading comprehension was investigated in 16 children with cochlear implants (CI), aged 7-13 years. Over 60% of the investigated children performed at the level of their hearing peers. Reading comprehension was better than expec
Background Subclinical cobalamin deficiency is common in the elderly, but the sensitivity and specificity of serum total cobalamin for this diagnosis is poor. Serum holotranscobalamin (holoTC), a measure of biologically available cobalamin, is considered a better marker for early cobalamin depletion than total cobalamin. However, in elderly populations, health-related reference intervals for holoT
This thesis examines the ideologies and moral values regarding sexuality and gender within the United States national realm of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR); and furthermore what how these ideologies and morals are translated into development policy. Through the method interrogative insertion, I have explored in the U.S. President´s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). And t
The accumulation of carbon (C) within boreal forest biomass is an important component of the global carbon cycle. Whilst it is understood that old forests contain a large carbon stock, the continued sequestration of carbon in these forests is debated. Swedish forests today are intensively managed as even-aged monocultures with short rotation times and have historically been managed through selecti
Background and Objectives. Thalidomide modulates the production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha). Soluble TNF receptors, TNFR p55 and TNFR p75, modify TNF-a activity. In this study, we explored the relation between soluble TNF receptors and outcome in patients with advanced multiple myeloma treated with thalidomide. Design and Methods. The levels of soluble TNF receptor p55 and p75 were assess
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrunden till den här avhandlingen är att man vill utveckla en ny mammografimetod, som utnyttjar ultraljud. När en tunn stråle av kontinuerligt ultraljud träffar en partikel, till exempel en blodkropp, som rör sig, så uppstår en reflektion. Frekvensen av den reflekterade signalen är inte densamma som för den utsända. Signalen har fått ett så kallat Dopplerskift, där fThe motivation to study the kind of problems appearing in this thesis has been ultrasound measurements of flows, from which velocity spectra along lines can be determined. These velocity spectra can mathematically be described by a new non-linear transform, here called the Doppler Spectral Transform (DST). The Doppler spectral transform has a very rich theory, into which some steps are taken here
A robot should follow a given path as accurately as possible. There are however almost always deviations from the desired path, and when the deviations become too large it may be a problem. Some of the deviations stem from transmissions of the robot, and the deviations become more pronounced when there are process forces and gravitational forces present, that affect the transmissions. When positio
Ready-to-eat (RTE) leafy greens are popular products that unfortunately have been associated with numerous foodborne illness outbreaks. Since the influence of consumer practices is essential for their quality and safety, the objective of this study was to analyze the microbiota of RTE products throughout shelf life during simulated household conditions. Products from different companies were analy
