Galiellalactone is a fungal metabolite found in the basidiomycetes Galiella rufa and the unidentified strain A111-95. It has been shown to possess promising activities as an inhibitor of the IL-6 mediated STAT3 signaling in HepG2 cells. Targeting this pathway is very important when it comes to understanding intracellular signaling and also for developing drugs for treating diseases associated with
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur man undviker att bli trakasserad på flicksländornas vis Tidigare forskningsresultat har visat att hos honor i de flesta djurarter begränsas fortplantningkapacitet av hur mycket tid och energi de kan lägga på sina avkommor. Hos hanar, å andra sidan, begränsas fortplantningskapacitet av hur många honor de kan para sig med. Då kan man dra slutsatsen att hanar ska försThis study has involved investigation of number of populations of the damselfly Ischnura elegans over several years, looking at frequency changes over time, morphological differences between the sexes and the morphs, differences in growth rate and development time, differences in fecundity between the morphs, and genetic differentiation between populations. I. elegans is a small annual damselfly w
The kinetics and mechanism for substitution reactions on tetraaquapalladium(II) by an extended series of thioethers, a great number of carboxylic acids, and olefins have been studied by use of UV-VIS, stopped-flow, and high-pressure stopped-flow spectrophotometry and NMR spectroscopy. Second-order rate constants k and activation parameters (activation enthalpies, entropies, and volumes) for format

To improve traffic safety it is important to evaluate the safety of roads and intersections. Today this requires a large amount of manual labor so an automated system using cameras would be very beneficial. We focus on the geometric part of the problem, that is, how to get accurate three-dimensional data from images of a road or an intersection. This is essential in order to correctly identify dif
Popular Abstract in Swedish Byggbranschen står inför stora utmaningar i att möta behovet av nya bostäder samtidigt som renoveringsbehovet av flerbostadshus är stort. Man beskylls ofta för bristande kvalitet och höga kostnader. Industriellt byggande har framförts som en lösning till problemen. I ett projekt på Lunds Universitet har två tillämpningar för industriellt byggande studerats: trähusbygganIndustrialized construction has over the years taken different expressions and gone through different phases depending on where inspiration has come from. In this project, industrialized construction has been studied in two applications: timber house manufacturing and renovation of multi-family houses. In Sweden industrialized production of timber houses is relatively strong in the housing sector
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna studie fokuserar på reproduktionskostnader och de energetiska taktiker som en reproducerande individ kan utnyttja för att tillfredsställa det ökade behovet av energi och näring under reproduktionen. Reproduktionskostnader har traditionellt definierats som reduktioner av den framtida potentiella produktionen av avkomma, orsakade av en nuvarande reproduktiv investerThis study focuses on various aspects of costs of reproduction and the evolution of energetic breeding tactics. It emphasizes the distinction between demographic costs of reproduction expressed already before current offspring have reached independence (prebreeding costs), and costs expressed only after offspring independence (postbreeding costs). Prebreeding costs have only rarely been appreciate
The analysis of the Coulomb excitation experiment conducted on 104Sn required a strict selection of the data in order to reduce the large background present in the gamma-ray energy spectra and identify the gamma-ray peak corresponding to the Coulomb excitation events. As a result the B(E2; 0 + -> 2+) value could be extracted, which established the downward trend towards 100Sn and therefore the rob
We studied the effect of pilocarpine hydrochloride, a parasympathicomimewtic agent, on major salivary gland output and subjective responses in 40 patients with salivary hypofunction. Pilocarpine increased salivary output or gave significant symptomatic relief in 21 of the 40 patients. The women fared better than the men. Side effects were uncommon, were generally mild, and caused no treatment inte
The study presents a theoretical model for understanding how children's cognitive processing of empathy-provoking information is linked to vicariously aroused feelings, and to prosocial and aggressive behaviour. Predictions from the model were tested in a cross-sectional sample of second-, fourth-, and sixth-graders (N = 175) and in a large sample of fourth-graders (N = 124). Two significant forms
Collagen-binding protein (CNBP) synthesized by Aeromonas veronii is located conserved within the subcellular fraction. The results of this study show that 98% of the total CNBP produced by Aer. veronii is present in the extracellular medium, and that the remaining CNBP is distributed either on the cell surface, within the periplasm or anchored on the outer membrane. CNBP is specifically secreted f
