Popular Abstract in English Prostate cancer is one of the most common causes of death for men. This disease can be detected at different stages and if it is detected at an initial stage there are many therapies to choose from. However, if it is detected at an advanced stage the options are reduced and most of the treatments are aggressive in an effort to extend the patient’s life. The most common In search for remedies and treatments, science has recurred to Mother Nature. This is where galiellalactone was found, a fungal metabolite isolated from Galiella rufa in 1990. Since then chemists and biologists have been studying its properties and found it to be a potential candidate against castration-resistance prostate cancer (CRPC). The development of a new drug requires many studies of the c

We shall examine the impact of Charles S. Eltons 1924 article on periodic fluctuations in animal populations on the development of modern population ecology. We argue that his impact has been substantial and that during the past 75 years of research on multi-annual periodic fluctuations in numbers of voles, lemmings, hares, lynx and game animals he has contributed much to the contemporary understa

Dispersal is a key process affecting population persistence and major factors affecting dispersal rates are the amounts, connectedness and properties of habitats in landscapes. We present new data on the butterfly Maniola jurtina in flower-rich and flower-poor habitats that demonstrates how movement and behaviour differ between sexes and habitat types, and how this effects consequent dispersal rat

The present study introduces sparse modeling for the estimation of propagation patterns in intracardiac atrial fibrillation (AF) signals. The estimation is based on the partial directed coherence (PDC) function, derived from fitting a multivariate autoregressive model to the observed signals. A sparse optimization method is proposed for estimation of the model parameters, namely, the adaptive grou

Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) is known as an important microbial by-product which is crucial for preserving or accumulating soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we investigated the chemical structures of GRSP and its relationship with SOC using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in three tropical forests. The three forests,

The assignment of products to storage locations significantly impacts the efficiency of warehouse operations. We propose a multi-phase optimizer for a Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) where solution quality is based on a distance estimate of future-forecasted order picking. Candidate assignments are first sampled using a Markov Chain accept/reject method. Future-forecasted pick-rounds ar

The turbulent market environment experienced over the last decades has attracted the broad interest of institutional and retail investors towards non-directional and absolute return investment strategies. The scope of this paper mainly concerns the investigation of whether a pairs trading strategy based on the cointegration approach generates excess returns on the Swedish equity market or fails to

Möjlig lösning av bristen på bloddonationer med hjälp av outforskat havrehemoglobin. Hemoglobin är främst förknippat med blod i oss människor och andra djur, men tänk om någon berättade att det syretransporterade proteinet också finns i växter. Underligt, eller hur? Växter har ju inget blod men ändå finns det där. I denna rapport beskrivs identifieringen av tre nyfunna havrehemoglobin som har likHemoglobin is mainly viewed as an oxygen and carbon dioxide carrier in the blood of animals and thus essential for life as we know it. During the course of evolution, plants have also developed versions of this protein, for similar and different purposes, such as regulation of nitric oxide levels. A lot of research has been put into characterization of hemoglobin from monocots, including rice, bar

Thanks to the technical development, how people read text has changed drastically compared to what it used to be before. Today people don’t read books only, they also read on their mobile phones and on their computers. However, you can still see people with a physical book or books out in public; for example on a train, at a station or a library. It is also true that visual material such as advert

Kan mikroalger boosta växtproduktion utan att förstöra ekosystem? Encelliga mikroalger lever på solljus och näring i vatten, och kan växa till sig på nolltid. Att odla mikroalger har länge varit ett populärt forskningsområde eftersom cellerna kan producera värdefulla molekyler till t.ex. mat, kosmetika, eller bränsle. Dessutom kan deras förmåga att ta upp näring från det omgivande vattnet användaMicroalgal biomass may provide sustainably produced biostimulant and biofertilising products thanks to their significant phytohormone and nutrient contents. Previous research has successfully cultivated pilot-scale Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp. biomass on wastewater in a pilot pond in Umeå, Sweden, while simultaneously removing nutrients and other pollutants. Intact cells (“IC”), broken c

This study evaluated the pilot-scale rapid-prototyping development of liquid plant-based young child formulae, by exploring different sources of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and flavours. The study was undertaken in collaboration with an industrial partner thus confidential information was blinded. The raw materials examined consisted of protein blends; Legume 1, Cereal 1, and Cereal 2; Legum

Syftet med denna rapport är att utvärdera möjligheten att använda Virtuell Verklighet (VR) som ett medium för användbarhetstestning. Användbarhetstestning är en viktig del av alla iterativa utvecklingsprocesser. Vanligtvis utförs testerna i en laboratoriemiljö utanför produkternas naturliga miljö. Genom att använda VR kan dock användare uppleva testmiljön på ett mer realistiskt sätt. Studien genoThis thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility of using virtual reality as a medium for usability testing. Usability testing has long been an important part of any iterative development process. Most usability testing is, however, done in a lab setting, outside the product's natural environment. Virtual Reality (VR) on the other hand can engross a user in any environment. This thesis was done i

The U.S.-China trade war, which began in 2018, remains a critical issue in global trade, with Trump’s return to office in January 2025 heightening tensions as he threatens to impose further tariffs on, and beyond, China. This thesis investigates both the direct effects of U.S. tariffs on trade between the U.S. and China and the indirect effects on Vietnam. The primary focus is to examine Vietnam&#

This project was completed in collaboration with the graph database company Neo4j with the aim of developing a new algorithm for automatic detection of software bugs that degrade system performance, commonly referred to as performance regressions in the industry. Due to the large number of benchmarks used to monitor different aspects of the product environment, a flexible and robust solution was n

Call for papers NRWC 2024: Imagining Retail The theme of this year’s conference is Retail Imagination. The concept of imagined futures reminds us that imagination is powerful. What we can imagine, can be made reality while things beyond imagination are outside the realms of possibility. Retail is imagination, in many ways, for many actors. Consumers are encouraged to imagine futures with new posse
