In this paper we present an outline of a research project that will be carried out in 2019 – 2021. Below we give a short summary of the project. SummaryThe flood of #metoo witness narratives has demonstrated the pervasiveness of sexual abuse. Yet, #metoo has also made visible different understandings of justice. The campaign against sexual harassment and violence has brought to the fore tensions b

In Europe, azacitidine is the only hypomethylating agent approved for the treatment of patients with int-2-/high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, offering significantly improved survival compared with conventional care. However, not all patients treated with azacitidine respond to treatment, and the vast majority of responders subsequently relapse. Currently, no standard care regimens have been est

Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability in most developed countries. This work summarizes state-of-the-art, and possible future, diagnostic and evaluation approaches in multiple stages of CVD, including (i) visualization of sub-clinical disease processes, (ii) acute stroke theranostics, and (iii) characterization of post-stroke recov

To study the influence of acidosis on free radical formation and lipid peroxidation in brain tissues, homogenates fortified with ferrous ions and, in some experiments, with ascorbic acid were equilibrated with 5–15% O2 at pH values of 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, and 5.0, with subsequent measurements of thiobarbituric acid-reactive (TBAR) material, as well as of water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants (glutathion

Cities are key actors in reducing both the causes of climate change (mitigation) and its impact (adaptation), and many have developed separate mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures. However, in order to maximize outcomes, both scholars and practitioners are increasingly calling for more integrated and synergetic approaches. Unfortunately, related research remains scarce and fragmented,

Development in building envelopes and energy efficient systems has an impact in reducing energy use, but the everyday life of the households significantly influences the total performance of the housing sector that in Sweden constitutes 25% of the total energy use. This paper presents and discusses some results of a study investigating the relationship between every-day life and energy use among t

Popular Abstract in Undetermined Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning på svenska Nästäppa, som betyder svårigheter att andas med näsan är ett vanligt symtom i befolkningen, och en vanlig orsak till att patienter söker vård. Kronisk nästäppa är ett frekvent symtom (ca 40 % av vuxna) som ofta medför mun-andning med torra slemhinnor i munhåla och svalg samt snarkning till följd. Nässkiljeväggen, septSubjective nasal obstruction is a common chronic complaint caused by mucosal disease, skeletal abnormality or a combination of both. The challenge is to determine the main cause and to decide whether the intervention should be medical or surgical. Diagnosis is done by a combination of rhinoscopy, subjective and objective assessments of nasal obstruction. Rhinomanometry measures the nasal airway re

Efter HSVs utvärdering av CI- utbildningarna fick högskolorna ett tydligt uppdrag att vid uppföljningen redovisa hur hållbar utveckling kommer in i utbildningarna. I planeringsförutsättningarna för de 5-åriga civilingenjörsutbildningarna vid LTH finns kravet på examination av minst 6 hp inom området.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bildning, bearbetning och upplagring av cathepsin G, proteinas 3 och azurocidin - närbesläktade bakteriedödande proteiner i vita blodkroppar Människans kropp utsätts dagligen för fientliga attacker av olika sorters mikroorganismer, tillhörande bakterie-, virus- eller svampsläktet. Så länge vi är friska och vårt immunförsvar fungerar, kan vi som tur är framgångsrikt föThe neutrophil granulocyte contains a number of multifunctional proteins stored in different subsets of granules. The azurophil granules, synthesized early during differentiation, harbour leukocyte elastase, cathepsin G, proteinase 3, and azurocidin; the members of the serprocidin family. In order to study the biosynthesis, processing, and intracellular sorting of the proteins, human cDNA encoding

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjocktarm och ändtarm (colorektal cancer) är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna i västvärlden. Årligen insjuknar drygt 5 000 människor i Sverige i denna sjukdom, och ungefär hälften av dessa dör till följd av sin cancer. De som avlider i colorektal cancer har i de allra flesta fall spridning av tumören till andra organ (metastasering). Levern är den vanligaste Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. The sensitivity of alkaline phosphatases (ALP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), computed tomography (CT), CT with arterial contrast
