There is increasing evidence that fermentation in the large intestine is important for health, and that health-promoting effects are mediated by fermentation products such as butyric and propionic acid. As the formation of carboxylic acids (CAs) from various carbohydrates reaching the colon has been shown to vary, it is of great interest to identify food factors that could be of importance to this

Uppsatsen undersöker EU-medlemsstaternas skyldigheter i samband med klassificering av särskilda skydds- och bevarandeområden enligt fågelskydds- respektive habitatdirektivet. Direktivens främsta mål är att skapa ett sammanhängande ekologiskt nätverk, Natura 2000. Uppsatsen har visat att medlemsstaterna endast får beakta ornitologiska kriterier när de föreslår områden som ska beredas skydd enligt fThis paper examines the EU Member States’ obligations in connection with the designation of special protection areas and special areas of conservation under the Wild Birds- and the Habitats Directive. The primary objective of the directives is to create a coherent ecological network of protected areas, Natura 2000. The paper demonstrates that Member States may consider only ornithological criteria

In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o

This Master’s thesis is performed on behalf of Alfa Laval, a multinational company providing technological products and services.
Alfa Laval has in the past had a lot of successful mergers, but there were also those cases that led to sell off and those that had potential to add more value than was actually realized. In the common case, it has been shown that 60-70 per cent of M&As fall sho

Popular Abstract in Swedish Deponier (soptippar) har förändrats kraftigt de senaste decennierna. Detta beror främst på ändrad lagstiftning vilken i sin tur till stor del bygger på en önskan att skydda miljön. Dock har lag¬stiftningen implementerats utan riktig kännedom om dess konsekvenser för utsläppen från deponier på lång sikt. För att öka förståelsen för konsekvenserna genomfördes det forskninWaste management in Europe has changed, mainly as a result of stricter regulations, most notably the European Landfill Directive 1999/31/EC. In Sweden, landfill tax and a ban on the landfilling of waste with total organic carbon content over 10 % have diverted large amounts of waste from landfills. The biogeochemistry of landfills has changed due to their reduced organic content. The research pres

En förutsättning för att ett beteende ska kriminaliseras är att det tänkta straffbudet avser ett identifierat och konkretiserat intresse som är skyddsvärt, det vill säga godtagbart. Ett godtagbart skyddsintresse kan definieras som det värde som skyddas i ett visst straffbud. Föreställningarna om skyddsintresse har systematisk betydelse för indelningen av brottstyper. Att finna arten av det intressA prerequisite for a behavior to be criminalized is that the intended criminal law provision applies to an identified and concretized interest that should be protected. An acceptable protective interest can be defined as the value protected in a particular criminal law provision. The concepts of protective interests have a systematic significance for the classification of the type of crime. Determ

Following the impressive development of bulk lead-based perovskite photovoltaics, the “perovskite fever” did not spare nanochemistry. In just a few years, colloidal cesium lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have conquered researchers worldwide with their easy synthesis and color-pure photoluminescence. These nanomaterials promise cheap solution-processed lasers, scintillators, and light-emitti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut leversvikt medför hög risk för komplikationer orsakade av bakteriesepsis. Hög nivåer av lipopolysackarider (LPS; endotoxin) i det portala blodet kan leda till förhöjd sekretion av pro-inflammatoriska signalsubstanser från leverns Kupffer-celler, vilket har visats vara ett tidigt och viktigt tecken på leverskada. Patogenesen för inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (?inflammaAcute liver failure is accompanied by a high rate of bacterial septic complications. High portal level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can lead to a pronounced secretion by Kupffer cells of pro-inflammatory mediators which have been shown to be early and important mediators of liver injury. Pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex; involving environmental, genetic, microbial, and im

Lymfödem är en svullnad som kan uppkomma i olika delar av kroppen. Svullnaden uppstår på grund av att lymfvätska inte hinner dräneras bort i tillräcklig takt, utan blir kvar i vävnaden. Orsaken kan vara en medfödd genetisk svaghet i lymfsystemet alternativt en skada på lymfsystemet orsakat av operation, infektion, inflammation eller annan kroppskada. Vanligast i Sverige är lymfödem i arm eller benThe overall aim of this thesis was to develop a lymphedema-specific instrument for measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and to evaluate how persons with lymphedema experience HRQoL. Lymphedema is defined as swelling in one or more parts of the body that is due to impaired lymph drainage and transport. The impairments in the lymph system can be congenital or secondary to, e.g., cancer t

Cell fate reprogramming towards pluripotency or alternative somatic cell-types has highlighted the plasticity of adult somatic cells, providing new technologies to generate desired cell types for tissue repair or for disease modeling. There is momentum to bring these concepts to immunology by specifying unique immune cellular identities that set in motion immune responses. Dendritic cells (DCs) ar

Geotechnical engineering is the science dealing with mechanics of soils and rocks and its engineering applications. Geotechnical engineering projects vary in a wide range, from evaluation of the stability of natural slopes and man-made soil deposits, to the design of earthworks and foundations. Traditional methods, using manual calculations or simplified computational methods, do not, as a rule, t

The majority of the world’s peatlands are located in northern regions where climate change is occurring most rapidly. Therefore, there is an urgent need to understand whether, and under what conditions, peatlands will remain carbon sinks or become carbon sources. The uncertainties in our predictions stem from a variety of sources, including uncertainty about the competing effects of rising air tem

The sun is the most important energy source for the Earth’s climate system, however, influences of solar variations on climate are not fully understood. Studying past solar activity can improve our understanding of what role the sun plays in Earth’s climate. Cosmogenic radionuclides, such as 10Be in ice cores, are powerful tools to reconstruct past solar activity before the period of direct telesc

In the production of pulp and paper, water-soluble components, such as hemicellulose, monosaccharides, and lignin, are released and accumulate in the process water. The process water is usually concentrated and incinerated for heat generation and the recovery of pulping chemicals, such as in the Kraft and sulfite processes. The growing trend toward a more sustainable forest industry has increased

Plant nutrients can be recycled through microbial decomposition of organic matter but replacement of base cations and phosphorus, lost through harvesting of biomass/biofuels or leaching, requires de novo supply of fresh nutrients released through weathering of soil parent material (minerals and rocks). Weathering involves physical and chemical processes that are modified by biological activity of

Numerous barbiturates, such as (±)-pentobarbital, reversibly enhance the affinity for equilibrium binding of [3H]diazepam to well-washed rat cortical membranes in a chloride-dependent and picrotoxinin-sensitive manner [Leeb-Lundberg et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 77:7468-7472 (1980)]. The chemical specificity and stereospecificity of this barbiturate effect in vitro has been examined in det

Collagen is the main organic building block of musculoskeletal tissues. Despite collagen being their smallest load bearing unit, these tissues differ significantly in mechanical function and properties. A major factor behind these differences is their hierarchical organization, from the collagen molecule up to the organ scale. It is thus of high importance to understand the characteristics of each

Background. A once commonly held belief was that surgery is too complicated, too expensive, and too ineffectively addressing a too minor proportion of the burden of disease to deserve priority in a setting of scarce healthcare resources in low- and middle-income countries. Yet, essential surgical care can be as highly cost-effective as other common public health interventions, and surgical service
