Bacteria and humans have co-evolved since their common existence. They have thereby developed very specific defence and target mechanisms against one another. Understanding the complex biomolecular processes behind these interactions can be of great use for developing treatments against bacterial diseases. The aim of this thesis project was to verify, and introduce a model for understanding, the i
Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po
Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades. Their energy efficiency and indoor climate is, however, being questioned. Therefore more and more of these buildings are being built with double skin facades, which can provide: a thermal buffer zone, energy savings, wind protection with open windows, fire protection, aesthetics, solar preheating of ventilation air, sound protection, polluta
The Vaxholm conflict was initiated when the Swedish Trade Union for Construction Workers shut down a construction site in order to prevent a Latvian construction company to build a school after the two parties had failed to agree upon a collective agreement in compliance with Swedish regulations. An emotional public debate followed that resulted in a discussion of the proposal for the Services Dir

Issue management in market-driven software projects is constantly under time pressure. A limited set of developers must share their time between developing features for the next release and resolving reported issues. Project managers need to find the appropriate balance between a high quality product and fast time to market. We study a telecom company in Sweden developing embedded systems for a co
Lately, evidence for early-Holocene emerging sedentism has been suggested among foragers in Northern Europe. The core of this suggested sedentism lies in the increasing dependency on large-scale fishing and mass consumption of fish and a territorial behaviour associated with access to the best fishing locations. This territoriality might also be associated with increasing numbers of people settlin
The oxygen-atom transfer reaction catalyzed by the mononuclear molybdenum enzyme dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) has attracted considerable attention through both experimental and theoretical studies. We show here that this reaction is more sensitive to details of quantum mechanical calculations than what has previously been appreciated Basis sets of at least triple-zeta quality are needed to
FORESTRY, AIR POLLUTANTS AND MULTIPLE USE ASPECTS ON BERRY PRODUCTION OF FORESTS IN SOUTH SWEDEN by Georgios Gaitanis Lund University Master' s Programme in Environmental Sciences Honours Thesis Supervisor: Bengt Nihlgård Department of Plant Ecology Lund University Summary Various methods of forest management affect the occurrence of berry species in many different ways. It is also known that atmo

The quantification of species along environmental gradients has long been the subject of study regarding natural plant communities and, more recently, ecosystems disturbed by anthropogenic emissions of eutrophying and acidifying substances. We studied 527 sites in southern Swedish deciduous forests divided into two regions, with mean nitrogen depositions of 17 and 9 kg ha(-1) y(-1). The higher dep

Microsoft Word - Cedergren et al - Local success Global failure - Revised version.docx 1 INTRODUCTION Many of society’s vital functions and services (such as power supply, telecommunications, and transpor- tation) have become increasingly interconnected (Amin, 2001). While this gives rise to increased ef- ficiency, tighter connections also invites increased vulnerability and the risks of cascading

Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) is an increasingly utilised modality for treating tumours by utilising the physical properties of accelerated proton beams. This review explores the development of PBT, its dosimetric advantages over conventional x-ray-based radiotherapy, and the rationale behind its use in paediatric oncology whilst simultaneously considering the various challenges associated with its de
In recent years, hydrogels have been demonstrated as simple and cheap additives to improve the optical properties and material stability of organometal halide perovskites (OHPs), with most research centered on the use of hydrophilic, petrochemical-derived polymers. Here, we investigate the role of a peptide hydrogel in passivating defect sites and improving the stability of methylammonium lead iod
Human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1), that is one of the enzymes responsible for the reduced efficiency of treatments by the antineoplastic agents anthracyclines, was functionally expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. CBR1 was purified and kinetically characterised using daunorubicin as substrate. CBR1-catalysed reduction of daunorubicin followed an apparent Michaelis-Menten kinetics with K-M = 85.2
Remediation of contaminated sites may cause adverse negative effects like usage of non-renewable resources, high monetary cost, air emissions and an increased risk of accidents. Therefore, interest in sustainable remediation has increased in recent years. The aim with sustainable remediation is to integrate a holistic perspective on remedial projects and find the alternative that is considered bes
Enzymes of the xanthine oxidase family are among the best characterized mononuclear molybdenum enzymes. Open questions about their mechanism of transfer of an oxygen atom to the substrate remain. The enzymes share a molybdenum cofactor (Moco) with the metal ion binding a molybdopterin (MPT) molecule via its dithiolene function and terminal sulfur and oxygen groups. For xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH)
We have studied the convergence of QM/MM calculations with respect to the size of the QM system. We study a proton transfer between a first-sphere cysteine ligand and a second-sphere histidine group in [Ni,Fe] hydrogenase and use a 446-atom model of the protein, treated purely with QM methods as a reference. We have tested 12 different ways to redistribute charges close to the junctions (to avoid
