Glucocorticoids (GCs) are essential for mouse embryo implantation and decidualization. Excess GCs are harmful for mouse embryo implantation and decidualization. 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type I and II (Hsd11b1/Hsd11b2) are main enzymes for regulating local level of GCs. Hsd11b2 acts as the placental glucocorticoid barrier to protect the fetus from excessive exposure. Although effects of GC
En av behandlingsmetoderna mot tumörer i levern på Lunds Universitetssjukhus är SIRT som står för ”Selective Internal RadioTherapy” det vill säga en intern radioterapeutisk behandling, i detta fall specifikt för levern. Behandlingen är cirka tio år gammal och i Lund har den utförts sedan december 2010. Under våren 2012 behandlades tre patienter med SIRT då de inte kan få sina cancertumörer i leverIntroduction: Cancer treatment is a process with continuous development. The most common treatment, within the field of radiation physics, is external radiation therapy, whereas one of the least common methods is Selective Internal RadioTherapy (SIRT). SIRT is a rather novel method for treating liver carcinoma. Microspheres containing 90Y are infused directly into the liver, via the hepatic artery
The 36-hectare large RWN Areal is located 2 km south of the city center of Neubrandenburg, Germany. What once was founded as a Torpedo Testing Facility during WWII, became a Military Repair Work Facility during the GDR government until 1990. After the German Reunification, the site has only served business and industrial purposes, but was more so neglected in the 2000s and became a blind spot ever
Aim: We aim to broaden the view and the understanding of what a case competition is and how it can be used beyond its use as an educational method of teaching and learning. More specifically, the purpose is to explore the phenomenon of case competitions as a branding tool from a strategic brand management perspective. Design/Methodology/Approach: A multi-case study approach inspired by Grounded T
The shape of a diffuse reflectance spectra can provide knowledge about tissue composition. By analysing this spectra one can, with the right evaluation methods, find out information about the tissue. With known absorption properties of the present tissue chromophores it is possible, with a curve fit algorithm, to find their volume fractions in any measured tissue. In this work, the usability of
Recent research has shown that we might not be as aware of our choices as we believe ourselves to be - a phenomenon called choice blindness (Johansson et al, 2005). In this thesis I replicate and extend these results by showing that choice blindness can be used to unconsciously influence preferences. An experiment with four conditions was conducted. In all conditions, participants were shown two s
Abstract Gathering information about the environment is crucial to living organisms as it makes up the foundation upon which decisions are made. In a diverse environment a huge amount of information sources arise. An individual can choose to follow other’s decision (social information use) or to gather its’ own information. Which sources are used and how well they are perceived vary between indi

Deuterated biomolecules - where hydrogen atoms (H) are exchanged to its isotope deuterium (D) - are essential for biological experiments in neutron scattering, but they are not readily available. In neutron scattering, D has a strong positive coherent scattering length (6.67 fm) in comparison with the negative scattering length of H (-3.74 fm). These different characteristics of neutrons to D and
This thesis is based on nine papers, all concerned with parameter estimation. The thesis aims at solving problems related to real-world applications such as spectroscopy, DNA sequencing, and audio processing, using sparse modeling heuristics. For the problems considered in this thesis, one is not only concerned with finding the parameters in the signal model, but also to determine the number of si
Background: Malaria kills almost 1 million people every year, but the mechanisms behind protective immunity against the disease are still largely unknown. Methodology/Principal Findings: In this study, surface plasmon resonance technology was used to evaluate the affinity (measured as kd) of naturally acquired antibodies to the Plasmodium falciparum antigens MSP2 and AMA1. Antibodies in serum samp
SUMMARY:BACKGROUND: Arterial vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage may cause cerebral ischemia. Treatment with hemodilution, reducing blood viscosity, and hypervolemia, increasing cardiac performance and distending the vasospastic artery, are clinically established methods to improve blood flow through the vasospastic arterial bed.METHOD: Eight patients with transcranial Doppler verified vasospa
As one of the most important texts of the apostle Paul, Galatians offers a goodstarting-point for an investigation of Paul’s argumentation. The letter is polemical and contains a substantial amount of argumentative passages. Paul evidently wanted to persuade by using the best arguments possible to convince his addressees. Although the argumentation of Paul is often an issue within New Testament ex
The addition of Cr is known to work as an effective prevention against oxidation in Fe-based alloys. This can be attributed to the peripheral oxide, the structure of which is dependent on the composition of the alloy. Using Molecular Dynamic (MD) calculations with a Reactive Force Field (ReaxFF) potential, we successfully identify several oxide structures arising during initial oxide formation in
The removal of lysozyme adsorbed to a hydrophobic surface by a non-ionic surfactant, C12E5, was investigated using in situ ellipsometry. Both the adsorption and removal of protein were studied at different protein and surfactant concentrations. The surfaces used were methylated silica surfaces and the experiments were carried out at pH 5.6 in 0.01 M NaCl solution. The adsorption isotherm of lysozyThe removal of lysozyme adsorbed to a hydrophobic surface by a non-ionic surfactant, C12E5, was investigated using in situ ellipsometry.

This master’s degree project, carried out within 20 weeks of the spring term 2012 within Lund University’s School of Industrial Design was started with an unconventional topic of sexual health and design which quickly specified itself into Sexual health and Adolescence. The view point of the research was focused on Finnish society and its youth. Trough professional literature, interviews and discu
