BACKGROUND: In rodents, neurotensin contributes to high fat diet induced obesity by facilitation of intestinal fat absorption. The effect of oral lipid load on plasma proneurotensin and relationship with plasma triglycerides in humans is unknown. AIM: To investigate the acute effects of an oral lipid load on proneurotensin and plasma triglycerides and their interrelationships in healthy individual

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that is, desorption give higher equilibrium moisture contents than absorption at equal ambient climate conditions. Sorption hysteresis is commonly evaluated by determination of an absorption isotherm followed by desorption sSorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity.

The genera Coppinsiella and Seawardiella are described based on the combined phylogenetic analysis from ITS nrDNA, 28S nrLSU and 12S mtSSU sequences. The affinities of the new genera Orientophila, Athallia, Flavoplaca and Calogaya are discussed. The former Caloplaca lobulata group (or ‘Xanthoria lobulata-Gruppe’ sensu Steiner et Poelt 1982) found to be positioned in the Calogaya clade based on ITS

BACKGROUND: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), a bone-derived hormone that regulates phosphorus and vitamin D metabolism, contributes to the pathogenesis of mineral and bone disorders in CKD and is an emerging cardiovascular risk factor. Central elements of FGF23 regulation remain incompletely understood; genetic variation may help explain interindividual differences.METHODS: We performed a meta

Parents' experiences of child protection investigations - a meeting with society's safety net. The aim of this study was to explore how parents experience child protection investigation processes and further to examine what those investigations are perceived to do and consist of. The study was conducted through a social constructionist approach through which parental experience is seen

A FT-NIR (Fourier-Transform Near Infrared) model for moisture content has been developed for whole seeds of Swedish rapeseed (Brassica napus) by the conditions given during the harvest of 2014. Compared to Internal standardized (ISO) method 665, the final model showed very small differences in terms of repeatability and measurement uncertainty even though the measurement time was four times faster

This study is concerned with the subject of the resource curse. When countries discover significant natural resource reserves they counterintuitively exhibit dropping growth rates despite its high world market price. Several researchers have studied this phenomenon and labelled it the “resource curse”. They have tracked it to a number of causes, including how massive mineral windfalls affect the p

Education is a basic welfare pillar. Education in schools influence and is influenced by society and politics. Democratic education is the alternative that the students seek in many countries where there is an authoritarian education system like Greece my country of origin. The idea of the present Master thesis topic emerged out of my studies in the Master program of Global studies at Lund Univer

Boreal forests are globally important carbon (C) sinks, but strategies for maximising their climate benefit remain under debate. Major uncertainties in this discussion arise from contrasting sink-source estimates, which largely emanate from inherent limitations of standard measurement techniques to distinct spatio-temporal scales. Here, we use a spatially-nested measurement framework that integrat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en detaljerad studie av ett enskilt antikt byggnadsverk – Caecilia Metellas mausoleum. Detta gravmonument tillhörde en högättad romersk kvinna och är beläget intill Via Appia strax utanför Rom. Byggnaden utmärker sig bland annat genom sin storlek, men också genom sin högst ovanliga arkitektoniska utformning. Syftet med studien är att söka förstå dThe present thesis constitutes a close study of a single architectural monument, the tomb of Caecilia Metella. This is a well-preserved cylindrical tomb situated on the Via Appia outside Rome, and it is generally associated with sepulchral buildings of the traditional tumulus type. An inscription reveals that the occupant of the grave was a noble woman belonging to one of the most prestigious fami

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

BACKGROUND—: The cumulative burden and importance of cardiovascular risk factors have changed over the last decades. Specifically, obesity rates have increased among younger people, whereas cardiovascular health has improved in the elderly. Little is known regarding how these changes have impacted the incidence and the mortality rates of heart failure. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the age-sp

A diagnosis-prescribing study was performed in 5 Swedish counties during 1 week in November in 2000 and repeated in 2002. The aim of the present study was to analyse data for children 0-15 y of age who consulted a general practitioner with symptoms of an infection. During the 2 weeks studied, 4049 children were consulted. Respiratory tract infections (RTI) were the predominant diagnoses, above all

The Department of English in Lund: Working Papers in Linguistics is an annual volume produced by the English Department at Lund University in Sweden. Its main aim is to publicize research being carried out by staff and post-graduate students in the department, but we are also pleased to include contributions from members of neighbouring departments and universities. The contributions in volume 3

The influence of incubation time and Fenton reagent concentrations was investigated on the oxidation of 2'-deoxyguanosine. The compounds identified and quantified, through use of an LC-MS/MS system, were 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8,5'- cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8,5'cyclodG) and the secondary oxidation products guanidinohydantoin and dehydro-guanidinohydantoin. 8-oxodG and 8,
