γ-Trace is a low molecular weight human protein with unknown function, occurring in body fluids. this thesis deals with the determination of the complete amino acid sequenceof human -trace, its localization to neuroendocrine cells and concentration in human body fluids at various ages.γ-Trace was isolated from human urine, and antisera specific for -trace were raisedin rabbits.An enzyme immunoassa
The present investigation concerns clinical, biochemical and genetc studies of human cystatin C and hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) and can be summarized as follows:1) Monoclonal murine antibodies were...
In the present study direct microcalorimetry has been employed to measure heat production of blood plasma and blood cells at basal and activated stages. The energetics of granulocyte activation.....
Blog post on the Agenda 2030 Graduate School blog. In September 2021, the Food Systems Summit is taking place as part of the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. All 17 SDGs rely to some degree on healthier, more sustainable, and equitable food systems. Hopefully the interlinkages of food, land use change and healthy diets will target significant outcomes t
Bloggpost på nutritionsfakta.se.EAT-Lancetkommissionen lanserade 2019 sin ”the great food transformation”, en modell för hälsosamma matvanor för en växande global befolkning som skulle hålla livsmedelssystemet inom planetens gränser.En uppföljande svensk studie har tagit fram ett eget index för att mäta följsamheten till EAT-Lancetkosten, med en poängsättning som gör det möjligt att se hur väl en
The regeneration of salamander limbs has been a special fascination among scientists and keen observers for centuries. Perhaps due to how closely the salamander's limb anatomically mirrors our own, a grand aspiration of regenerative medicine has been to provoke such a process following injury or loss of human limbs. Research in the last century has focused on understanding the blastema, a prolifer
BACKGROUND: Chemo- and radiotherapy (RT) is standard treatment for patients with high-grade glioma, but may cause side-effects on the patient's cognitive function.AIM: Use of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate the longitudinal changes in normal-appearing brain tissue in glioblastoma patients undergoing modern arc-based RT with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) or helical tomothera
The potential of bio‐electro‐jet fuel (BEJF) production with integration into an existing biomass‐based combined heat and power (CHP) facility was investigated. The BEJF is produced via Fischer–Tropsch (F–T) synthesis from biogenic CO2 and H2 obtained by water electrolysis. Techno-economic (TEA)‐ and life. cycle (LCA)‐ assessments were performed to evaluate the production cost and environmental im
To enable the large-scale use of hydrogen fuel cells for mobility applications, convenient methods for on-board hydrogen storage and release need to be developed. A promising approach is liquid organic hydrogen carriers (LOHCs), since these are safe, available on a large scale and compatible with existing re-fuelling infrastructure. Usually, LOHC dehydrogenation is carried out in batch-type reacto
Contemporary European studies examining associations between socioeconomic status and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence are scarce. We aimed to target population groups with a heavier burden of HCC by assessing associations of individual-level sociodemographic variables and neighbourhood deprivation with all-stage and stage-specific HCC incidence rates (IR). Patient and population data stra
Postural control and vestibular and eye motor function were evaluated in 7 postlingually deaf patients before cochlear implantation as vibration toward the calf muscles or galvanic electrical stimulation of the vestibular nerves perturbed stance. The patients were compared with 21 control subjects. Vibration-induced bodysway was increased in the patients compared to the normals. Galvanic stimulati
Det sägs ofta att mätt i överdödlighet är Sverige ett av de länder som har klarat coronapandemin bäst. Men de hittills gjorda studierna av överdödlighet hjälper oss inte att bedöma den svenska pandemistrategin. Det skriver forskarna Joacim Rocklöv, Peter Jagers, Holger Rootzen, Thors Hans Hansson och Torsten Åkesson.
Det behövs ett nationellt omtag kring verktyget testa-spåra-isolera, bland annat för att eliminera nyintroduktion och etablering av virusvarianter. Det skriver Torsten Åkesson, Joacim Rocklöv och Tove Fall
Använd fakultetsmedlen till anställningar och de externa medlen till forskning. På så vis blir både forskningen och arbetsmiljön bättre, menar Torsten Åkesson, professor i partikelfysik vid Lunds universitet.
Agenda 2030 Graduate School blogLund University Agenda 2030 Graduate School is a global, cutting-edge research school and collaboration platform for issues related to societal challenges, sustainability and the 2030 Agenda. The 17 PhD students from all faculties at Lund University enrolled with the Agenda 2030 Graduate School relate their specific research topics to the Sustainable Development Goa
Social science has always been interested in the effect of social mobility on fertility behavior, bringing mixed evidence. Part of this is due to an identification problem. Accordingly, conventional models cannot disentangle which effects are due to social mobility, background, or origin alone. Diagonal reference models accurately estimate the additional impact of social mobility, net of backgroun
