BACKGROUND AIMS: The EAT-Lancet Commission devised a globally sustainable dietary pattern to jointly promote human health and sustainability. However, the extent to which this diet supports metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has not yet been assessed. This study aimed to investigate the association between the EAT-Lancet diet and risk of MASLD and its severity.APPROAC
Distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) is a promising technology for simultaneous communication and positioning. However, phase synchronization between multiple access points in D-MIMO is challenging and methods that function without the need for phase synchronization are highly desired. Therefore, we present a method for D-MIMO that performs direct positioning of a moving device base
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway which has led to the successful development of drug therapies that replace or stimulate this network pharmacologically. Although these drugs work well in the early stages of the disease, over time they produce side effects along with less consistent clinical benefits to the person with Parkinson's (PwP)
Targeted delivery of α-synuclein using AAV vectors has over the two decades since its introduction developed into a versatile tool for modeling different aspects of synucleinopathy, mimicking those seen in Parkinson's disease and related Lewy body disorders. The viral vector approach to disease modeling is attractive in that the expression of α-synuclein, wild-type or mutated, can be confined to d
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychiatric condition that follows exposure to a traumatic stressor. Though previous in vivo proton (1H) MRS) research conducted at 4 T or lower has identified alterations in glutamate metabolism associated with PTSD predisposition and/or progression, no prior investigations have been conducted at higher field strength. In addition, earlier studies
The overarching aim of the book is to provide the first comprehensive account of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy and its dissemination through digital diplomacy. In contrast to other scholarly studies of digital diplomacy that tend to view it as a technological and apolitical device for online diplomatic communication, this book examines the specific political dynamics of digital diplomacy. It po
Marknadsanalys handlar i fastighetssammanhang i grunden om att undersöka fastighetsmarknaden i syfte att förstå hur fastigheter prissätts på marknaden. Det i sin tur handlar både om att förstå hur fastigheter i allmänhet prissätts och hur specifika fastigheter prissätts. Det förstnämnda handlar om prisnivån på fastighetsmarknaden och det andra om priset på en specifik fastighet. Det här kapitlet h
There has been widespread debate about whether the way in which we measure economic activity is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. One aspect of this debate is to move away from measuring a nation's income (GDP) towards monitoring a nation's assets (their inclusive wealth), as a better indicator of sustainable economic development. We provide the first critical comparison of the approach
A study of 25 pupils working in groups with a digital mathematics game on table tabletswas conducted in a Swedish first school year class. The pupils’ communications and actions whensolving problems, with no teacher interference, were studied to contribute knowledge about howgroups of pupils engage in digital games. Data sets, in the form of transcripts from video recordings ofpupils working in gr
Vårt team av kliniska forskare i Lund, Sverige, fann att elektromagnetisk strålning, som den som används i mobil kommunikation, även vid låga effektvärden, gör att användarnas blodalbumin läcker genom blod-hjärnbarriären "BBB" in i hjärnvävnaden .BBB är tänkt att skydda hjärnan mot oönskade och giftiga molekyler som potentiellt finns i blodet för att överföras till hjärnvävnaden. Men vårt team i L

MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to
This study explores the relationship between online education and student grades at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. By investigating the learning environment's impact on student grades in this setting, we can take advantage of the recommendations of online education in higher education in Sweden, which resulted in an unprecedented sample
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in eukaryotic energy metabolism. Like mitochondria across most eukaryotic species, plant mitochondria contain their own genomes and protein synthesis machinery. However, many plant mitochondrial key proteins and processes remain poorly understood. An example of this is the plant mitochondrial translation initiation. Although the cryoelectron microscopy (EM) structu
A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. One purpose of the setup is to test the possibility of providing environmental monitoring of pure alpha-emitters for the European Spallation Source currently und
Associated Trio is the newest sub-regional format of cooperation in Europe, counting only a year since its foundation in May 2021 by the three member states: Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. It shares some similarities with the Visegrad Group, the most prominent cross-country cooperation format of the Central European states. The most important common feature of these two groups is that their member
Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. This study looked at offshore possibilities for cult
Introduction: Avenanthramides are antioxidants present in oats, which are interesting as a food additive for functional foods. Background: The most common method used for extraction of avenanthramides is a relative time consuming solid-liquid extraction with aqueous ethanol, which is not suitable for large scale extraction. A greener alternative could be pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE).
Co-simulation is widely used in industry for the simulation of multi-domain linear-time-invariant systems. However, as a result of the not continuous communication between our coupling variables, simulation results end up being unstable and inaccurate. Among the different strategies that have been developed in the recent years to control co-simulation drawbacks, the aim of this thesis is to unders
The carbon market promises cost-effective climate change mitigation and economic growth. However, it has been criticised as greenwashing and delaying necessary decarbonisation. This thesis examines the genealogy of the carbon market to address the human rights consequences for future generations. Approaching the issue from a theoretical framework of intergenerational justice enables an understandi
