This project was initiated by the food technology department of Lund University for a design study of a new developed technology to dry mashed fruits. A fabric with special parameters allows to preserve fruits, without using electricity, in a short period of time. The given task consists of designing a “bag” to dry mashed and liquid fruit purée. The bag should be easy to fill, empty, clean and re-
This paper analysed the returns on delta-neutral straddles around macroeconomic announcements. The results for straddles on all macroeconomic events were negative returns across all weighting methods and across the majority of holding periods. Furthermore, the returns for individual macroeconomic data announcements were negative, except for money supply and employment data which showed inconclusiv
Background and Aims: Spontaneous type 1 diabetes (T1D) in the BioBreeding (BB) rat mimics human T1D as the rats experience weight loss, polydipsia, polyuria, ketoacidosis, onset during puberty and insulin-dependency within a day after diagnosis. Because the DP rat develops T1D spontaneously, it is a prime laboratory animal for dissecting the genetics of T1D susceptibility without the need for exte
This thesis was conducted to quantitatively describe environmental and economic benefits from reuse of office furniture together with a status analysis of methods used to calculate that kind of data. Information was gathered from literature and interviews with industry players. The results from the different sources were initially presented separately and later compiled to demonstrate what they in
This thesis explores the diverging trend of preschool teacher-child ratio in Swedish municipal preschools and the conditions behind this development. Despite a long tradition of public childcare in Sweden, the government and municipalities report a shortage of preschool teachers, a profession essential for satisfying the pedagogical mission inscribed in the Swedish preschool curricula. In the ligh
Importance: Information about how risk for bipolar disorder is transmitted across generations and how parental risk for bipolar disorder relates to their children's risk for schizophrenia and major depression is limited. Objective: To evaluate the sources of parent-offspring transmission of bipolar disorder and its familial cross-generational association with schizophrenia and major depression. De
The reuse and reappropriation of audiovisual content have been a recurring topic of research in the humanities, not least in studies of remix cultures. An open question that remains, however, is how artificial intelligence and machine learning may help scholars study the reuse of audiovisual heritage. In this article, we introduce the Video Reuse Detector (VRD) – a methodological toolkit for ident
BACKGROUND: In early breast cancer, variations in local treatment that substantially affect the risk of locoregional recurrence could also affect long-term breast cancer mortality. To examine this relationship, collaborative meta-analyses were undertaken, based on individual patient data, of the relevant randomised trials that began by 1995. METHODS: Information was available on 42,000 women in 78

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma are common diseases with a heterogeneous distribution worldwide. Here, we present methods and disease and risk estimates for COPD and asthma from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) 2015 study. The GBD study provides annual updates on estimates of deaths, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (
BACKGROUND: There are multiple options for the treatment of thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (CMC1 OA), with evidence for pain relief and improved function. Although simple trapeziectomy has the lowest complication risk, tendon suspension of the first metacarpal and interposition is still the most commonly used surgical procedure in patients with CMC1 OA. Although there are several repor
The 21st century has seen a rise of optimism about the prospects for African economic development, and Ethiopia, with its rapideconomic growth in the last two decades, is at the forefront of this current wave of optimism. The rapid growth has been achievedunder a policy focus on the agricultural sector – another aspect of development that has seen a renewed wave of optimism in the21st century. Rec
Importance: Phase 3 trials of successful antiamyloid therapies in Alzheimer disease (AD) have demonstrated improved clinical efficacy in people with less severe disease. Plasma biomarkers will be essential for efficient screening of participants in future primary prevention clinical trials testing antiamyloid therapies in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals with initially low brain β-amyloid (
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Kadmium är en giftig metall vilken finns i mat som vi rekommenderas äta mycket av, exempelvis sädesprodukter, grönsaker och skaldjur. Våra matjordar är kontaminerade med kadmium och föroreningen kommer att kvarstå under mycket lång tid framöver. Kadmium skadar framförallt njurarna och skelettet och kan antagligen även orsaAbstract: Cadmium (Cd) is ubiquitous in the environment. Human exposure in non-smokers occurs mainly via intake of healthy food like vegetables, cereals, and shellfish. Adverse health effects on kidney and bone at low-level environmental Cd exposure are well-documented in adults. There is considerable inter-individual variation in both metabolism (toxicokinetics) and toxicity (toxicodynamics) of C
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det mesta av det genetiska materialet i en eukaryot cell finns samlat till kärnan och är organiserat i kromosomer. Varje gång en cell delas kopieras kromosomerna så att de båda resulterande cellerna får ett bibehållet kromosomantal. Den mekanism som styr denna replikeringsprocess förmår dock inte kopiera de yttersta kromosomändarna, vilket resulterar i att dessa blir koTelomeres are specialized complexes of DNA and proteins that cap and confer stability to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes. The telomeric DNA of most eukaryotes is composed of tandemly arranged short repeats. Within the budding yeasts these repeats are diverged in length as well as in nucleotide composition. However, they contain a sequence resembling the consensus binding sequence of the major t
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att skydda sig mot infektioner har människan ett välutvecklat immunförsvar. I immunförsvaret ingår många olika celler och proteiner (äggviteämnen). Till exempel finns det celler som producerar antikroppar som specifikt känner igen bakterier och virus som en människa har utsatts för vid en tidigare infektion. Det finns också speciella celler som kan fagocytera (äta uMany microorganisms have developed mechanisms to protect themselves against attack from the complement system of the host. One possible mechanism for a microorganism to evade complement attack is to bind a human complement regulator, which may allow the microorganism to down-regulate complement activation. This thesis describes studies of such interactions between human C4b-binding protein (C4BP),
