En sedimenttransekt bestående av tio punkter borrades med hjälp av en ryssborr i alkärret vid Kalvöviken på Biskopsmålahalvön i centrala Blekinge. I huvudpunkten togs tre parallella 1 m långa borrkärnor. Sedimentprov togs ur borrkärnorna och undersöktes med hjälp av glödförlust, mineralmagnetiska-, makrofossil-, pollen- och strukturanalyser. Kronologin fastställdes genom två kol-14-dateringar kompA sediment transect based on ten corings were performed with a Russian peat corer in the aldercarr at Kalvöviken on the Biskopsmåla Peninsula in central Blekinge. Three parallel sediment cores were collected at the master coring point. These cores were subsampled and studied by means of loss of ignition (LOI), mineral magnetic measurements, macrofossil analysis, pollen analysis and structural anal

Tre borrkärnor bestående av sjösediment, vardera 1.5 meter långa, från Byestadsjön i Småland, Sverige studerades med hjälp av mineralmagnetiska- kol- pollen- och röntgenflourosens (XRF)- analyser. Målet med studien var att rekonstruera tidig Holocen miljö, med fokus på tiden mellan 9000-7000 år sedan och därmed avgöra om det kalla klimatåterslaget cirka 8200 före nutid påverkade regionen eller ej.Three sediment cores, each 1.5 meters in length, obtained from Lake Byestadsjön in the province of Småland, southern Sweden were studied with high resolution mineral magnetic measurements, carbon content, pollen analysis and XRF analysis. The aim was to reconstruct the early Holocene environment, with focus on the period between 9000-7000 cal yr BP, and thereby conclude if the 8200 cal yr BP cooli

A personal transporter is under development at LTH, Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation, IEA. A wireless link is desired to develop control remotely for the transporter. The development of the control becomes easier without wires and if the transporter can move freely within the range of the link. A link is built, using Bluetooth devices and a microprocessor from Microchip. This link

Depth data and bathymetry maps are used to analyze their association with tides, winds, currents and wave conditions in the port of Talara, at the coast of northern Peru. The objective is to investigate the processes that influence the sediment transport in the port. The sedimentation affects the saltwater pumps for fire fighting, obstructing them from delivering water since their operational wate

The idea of energy efficient, healthy buildings has existed since 1970s. However, a one-dimensional approach for many housing issues does not assure sustainability. Therefore, near the end of the 20th century, the built environment became a focus of attention within the environmental movement with wider focus on building certification schemes and sustainability issues such as interrelationships be

Under de senaste 100-200 åren har tall (Pinus sylvestris) etablerats på många sydsvenska mos- sar. Eftersom tall trivs i relativt torra och näringsrika miljöer, ger detta en indikation på att grundvattennivån i mos- sarna har sänkts. Tre mossar i Kronobergs län, Småland, har valts ut för en dendrokronologisk och torvstratigrafisk undersökning för att se om det finns ytnära torvlager som vittnar omScots pine (Pinus sylvestris) can be found growing in many raised bogs in Småland, south Sweden, and these trees have been established during the last 100-200 years. Because pine prefers a relatively dry environment rich in nutrients, its presence indicates a lowering of the groundwater table. Three bogs in south Sweden were in- vestigated with dendrochronologic and peat stratigraphic methods to d

“Comparing Apples & Oranges – A Life Cycle Perspective on the Energy Requirements in Swedish and British Columbian Building Codes” The requirements to decrease the energy use in a building vary in the building codes. “British Columbia Building Code” (BCBC) prescribes a nominal thermal resistance of insulation, while “Boverket’s Building Regulations” (BBR) requires an annual specific energy use

The interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown tremendously within the last decades. Due to the pressure from different stakeholders, this concept was introduced by multinational corporations (MNC) in China. Since the strong focus on economic growth has been determining the way of doing business, environmental and social concerns were not taken into account appropriately. Since MN

Human calcitonin (hCT) is a peptide hormone with therapeutic potential for bone-related disorders, yet its clinical application is hindered by a strong propensity to form amyloid fibrils. Strategies that effectively suppress hCT aggregation are therefore essential for enabling its reintroduction into pharmaceutical development. In our previous work, heme emerged as a potent inhibitor of hCT fibril

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Vinderosion på jordbruksmark har länge varit ett välkänt faktum trots att någon utförligare undersökning om dess omfattning och skadeverkan inte tidigare genomförts. Mot bakgrund av detta har därför ett nordeuropeiskt projekt, WEELS (Wind Erosion on European Light Soils), dragits i gång som syftar till kartlägga vinderosionen på sandig jordbruksmark i norra Euro

With the increasing Internet usage and the increase of W-commerce in Sweden, online marketing has become an essential and crucial activity for most industries and companies. Online marketing has developed rapidly and there are today a big number of digital channels and tools to add into the marketing strategy in order to meet the changing consumer behaviour. Today we are starting to see a number o

Background: Embolic strokes of undetermined source comprise up to 20% of ischemic strokes. The stroke recurrence rate is substantial with aspirin, widely used for secondary prevention. The New Approach riVaroxaban Inhibition of Factor Xa in a Global trial versus ASA to prevenT Embolism in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source international trial will compare the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban,

Aim. Parkinson's disease is often accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms, especially constipation. Microscopic studies of the enteric nervous system and enteric neuropathy have often been performed by immunostaining in the myenteric plexa. The aim of the present study was to examine whether pathologic changes could be identified by conventional hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and could

AIMS: Raised blood pressure (BP) is the biggest contributor to mortality and disease burden worldwide and fewer than half of those with hypertension are aware of it. May Measurement Month (MMM) is a global campaign set up in 2017, to raise awareness of high BP and as a pragmatic solution to a lack of formal screening worldwide. The 2018 campaign was expanded, aiming to include more participants an

The association between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) insulin-dependent diabetes was studied in a large population-based investigation using genotyping of 425 new-onset patients, 0-14 years of age, and 367 matched control subjects. As many as 97% of patients compared with 75% of control subjects were positive for one or several of DQA1*0301, DQA1*0501, DQB1*0302, or DQB1*0201. Asp-57 DQB was prese

Cell cycle regulation, especially faithful DNA replication and mitosis, are crucial to maintain genome stability. Cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/cyclin complexes drive most processes in cellular proliferation. In response to DNA damage, cell cycle surveillance mechanisms enable normal cells to arrest and undergo repair processes. Perturbations in genomic stability can lead to tumor development and

The Wee1 cell cycle checkpoint kinase prevents premature mitotic entry by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. Chemical inhibitors of Wee1 are currently being tested clinically as targeted anticancer drugs. Wee1 inhibition is thought to be preferentially cytotoxic in p53-defective cancer cells. However, TP53 mutant cancers do not respond consistently to Wee1 inhibitor treatment, indicating the exi
