Observationer visar på ständigt stigande temperaturer och modellerade data pekar på fortsatta temperaturökningar för framtiden. Förändringar i klimatet kommer påverka ekosystem och därmed de tjänster vi får ifrån dem. I Sverige är skogen ett av de viktigaste ekosystemen för oss människor. Skogen är av största vikt för Sveriges ekonomi. I dagsläget förekommer flera olika skador på svensk skog årligClimate observations are showing that air temperatures are constantly increasing, and modelled data indicates that temperatures will continue rising in the future. Changes in the climate will affect ecosystems and consequentially, the ecosystem services we depend upon. In Sweden, forests are among the most important ecosystems for humans. The forest is a major part of the Swedish economy. Currentl

This thesis explores how the latest trends in sustainability reporting are shaping the understanding of climate-related risks. Having the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework as a proxy, this thesis focuses on the double materiality perspective, namely on how new disclosures are related not only to organizational efforts in lowering emissions, but on disclosures bas

A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews were conducted at Handelsbanken in southern Sweden to identify and evaluate the bank’s recruitment process, with focus on achieving greater diversity within the workforce. Five women with personnel and varying seniority in the bank participated in the study. A thematic analysis was used and the following five main themes were identified; diversi

The overall aims of this thesis were to improve prediction, diagnostics and knowledge on epidemiology of sepsis. In paper I, we developed and evaluated an integrated platform for rapid analysis of sepsis-causing organisms directly from blood samples. Testing with blood samples spiked with bacteria and samples from septic patients indicate that the detection limit of the system is in the upper part

Background: There is a great unmet clinical need to identify patients with thin primary cutaneous melanomas (T1, Breslow thickness ≤ 1 mm) who have a high risk for tumor recurrence and death from melanoma. Kin of IRRE-like protein 1 (KIRREL/NEPH1) is expressed in podocytes and involved in glomerular filtration, but its expression in human cancer has not yet been reported. Screening in the Human Pr

Background: After neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), about 20% of pts with muscle-invasive UC are found to have advanced pT-stage or lymph node involvement and 5-year overall survival (OS) of them is < 30%. Tumor samples from these pts may provide information about chemotherapy resistance, and may predict for the activity of new drugs given postoperatively. Alterations of FGFR3 gene represent a thera

PURPOSE: Graft failure in heart transplant recipients is still the leading cumulative cause of death, rejection related injuries likely being an important contributor. In this study we used a genome-wide association approach using whole-genome data from chromosome 6 to analyze genetic associations with survival after heart transplantation. METHODS: The study included recipient samples from patient

PURPOSE: To investigate the survival of heart transplant (HTx) recipients during different time periods in Sweden. We hypothesized that the survival for HTx recipients has improved following advancements in the management of these patients. METHODS: Data was obtained through the database of the organ exchange organization Scandiatransplant. All patients who underwent HTx in Sweden between Jan 1988

The Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw. Changes to the environment during thaw leads to shifts in microbial communities and their associated functions, such as greenhouse gas emissions. Understanding the ecological processes that structure the identity and abundance (i.e., assembly) of pre- and post-thaw communitiesThe Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw.

BACKGROUND: Patients diagnosed with Crohn disease (CD) are known to be at an increased risk of bowel cancers and lymphoma. CD is an autoimmune disease and we hypothesize that the patients are predisposed to a wider spectrum of cancers.PATIENTS AND METHODS: A CD research database was constructed by identifying hospitalized CD patients from the Hospital Discharge Register and cancer patients from th

BackgroundIn pediatric patients, computed tomography (CT) is important in the medical chain of diagnosing and monitoring various diseases. Because children are more radiosensitive than adults, they require minimal radiation exposure. One way to achieve this goal is to implement new technical solutions, like iterative reconstruction.PurposeTo evaluate the potential of a new, iterative, model-based

The advent of PET ligands that bind tau pathology has enabled the quantification and visualization of tau pathology in aging and in Alzheimer disease (AD). There is strong evidence from neuropathologic studies that the most widely used tau PET tracers (i.e., 18F-flortaucipir, 18F-MK6240, 18F-RO948, and 18F-PI2620) bind tau aggregates formed in AD in the more advanced (i.e., ≥IV) Braak stages.
