Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
In order to fully understand the underlying processes of catalysis, it is vital to combine measurements of the catalyst surface, where the reaction occurs, with measurements of the gas concentration close to the catalyst. We have developed a convenient setup, which uses a single laser system to visualise the gas surrounding a working catalyst in situ at realistic operating conditions. Planar Lase
Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre. De kompenserar 10 % mer än vad de släpper ut genom carbon dioxide removal (CDR), och hävdar därför att de har en "klimat
Aircraft observations of precipitating clouds with cloud top temperatures higher than -38°C have revealed that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) is responsible for presence of majority of ice particles. One such SIP mechanism is fragmentation via collisions between ice particles. The central theme of this study is to understand the dependencies of this SIP mechanism and improve its existing numerical
AIMS: Metformin has hitherto not been proven superior to other type 2 diabetes (T2D) medications for the prevention of organ complications. The aim of this study is to report baseline data and blinded interim analyses in the register-based randomised clinical trial (RRCT) SMARTEST, which compares metformin and the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in early T2D. We also present learnings from the novel
BACKGROUND: Differences in cardiac sarcoidosis between racial groups remain understudied. Therefore, this study aims to explore race differences in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. METHODS: We analyzed data from the Cardiac Sarcoidosis Consortium, an international registry including over 25 centers. The primary clinical outcome was a composite end point of all-cause mortality, left ventricular a
This study examines how public transport passengers experience and use travel time and under what conditions they are particularly concerned about shorter travel time. Using a survey of Swedish public transport users and a follow-up focus group, we compare current patterns with a similar 2009 study. Findings indicate a slight decline in perceived value of travel time, coinciding with a marked redu
ObjectivesThis study investigates the impact of transitioning from restricted to 24/7 access to blood culture cabinets on blood culture processing.MethodA post-hoc retrospective study and a prospective laboratory simulation to evaluate the effects of delayed incubation were conducted. Data analysis evaluated clinical data comparing incubation-to-detection (ITD) and Collection-to-detection (CTD) in
Background: Hearing loss is estimated to affect more than 20% of the global population. Hearing aid fitting is a common intervention in audiological rehabilitation; however, there are still those who struggle with remaining communication difficulties that require additional intervention. The group rehabilitation program Active Communication Education (ACE) has been shown to be an effective alterna
Introduction: Glycolytic activity and hypoxia are associated with poor prognosis and radiation resistance. Including both the tumor uptake of 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and the proposed hypoxia tracer copper(II)diacetyl-bis(N4)-methylsemithio-carbazone (Cu-ATSM) in targeted therapy planning may therefore lead to improved tumor control. In this study we analyzed the overlap between s
Background The two main functional goals of postural control are postural stability (balance) and postural orientation. Postural orientation is the ability to maintain alignment between body segments and the environment during a static or dynamic activity. Nae et al. have evaluated the measurement properties of a clinical test battery for assessing postural orientation errors (POEs) in patients wi

Biodiversity hotspots are biogeographic regions exceptionally rich in endemic species showing high rates of habitat loss, making them the priority of global conservation efforts. As part of the biodiversity hotspot with the highest density of endemic species, the West Usambara Mountains in Tanzania require an efficient and resourceful monitoring solution. This thesis aimed to model the tree specie
Forest Aboveground biomass (AGB) is an important indicator of forest carbon storage, but long-term, high-resolution, and spatially continuous Aboveground biomass estimation remains challenging. This study produced annual forest Aboveground biomass estimates across mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands from 2000 to 2024 at 30 m resolution by combining Landsat time series, Global Ecosystem Dynamic
Background: The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) can be beneficial in several ways. However, presentations of PROM data from individuals living with, through, or beyond cancer are scarce in the existing scientific literature, and challenges in presenting and interpreting PROM data may be an explanation. Our overall aim was to describe aspects of wellbeing in individuals living with
The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla
This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Johnson Matthey is a worldwide company working with sustainable technologies. The site in Perstorp, where this work was performed, focus on formaldehyde production. In order to continuously improve chemical processes, simulation and modeling are advantageous tools. They can give a better understanding of the processes
AIMS: The CHA2DS2VASc score is used to evaluate the risk of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. We assessed the prognostic yield of CHA2DS2VASc for new-onset atrial fibrillation, cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a non-atrial fibrillation population.METHODS: We analysed a population-based cohort of 22,179 middle-aged individuals with (n = 3542) and with
