The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis is a complicated chain of interactions between cells and molecules. During recent years bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in patients with various interstitial lung disorders has increased our knowledge of the fibrosis process and focused on new interesting interactions. Here we present an animal model which makes it possible to apply both morphological and immuno
Energy balances are analysed from a life-cycle perspective for biogas systems based on 8 different raw materials. The analysis is based on published data and relates to Swedish conditions. The results show that the energy input into biogas systems (i.e. large-scale biogas plants) overall corresponds to 20-40% (on average approximately 30%) of the energy content in the biogas produced. The net ener
Shedding of epithelium, increased venular permeability, and traffic of activated eosinophils and neutrophils may characterize asthmatic airways. This in vivo study involving briefly anesthetized guinea pigs examines whether epithelial denudation itself affects airway venules and granulocytes. Using an oral probe, a de-epithelialized tracheal zone (0.8 x 30 mm) was produced without bleeding or dama
Wheat straw is an abundant agricultural residue which can be used as a raw material for bioethanol production. Due to the high xylan content in wheat straw, fermentation of both xylose and glucose is crucial to meet desired overall yields of ethanol. In the present work a recombinant xylose fermenting strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TMB3400, cultivated aerobically on wheat straw hydrolysate, w
The fundamental question posed in this study is how to approach the construction sector in order to cover its wide scope of activities, its great variety of actors and the external influences on it from the market and institutional environment. Construction includes such diverse economic activities as new production and as repair/maintenance, itinerant production and stationary manufacture, the pr
The field of wireless communication is growing rapidly, with new requirements for the next generation of mobile and wireless communications technology. In order to achieve the capacities needed for future wireless systems, the design and implementation of advanced communications techniques such as multiantenna systems is required. These systems are realized by computationally complex algorithms, r
The relevance of institutions for regional development has been well established in economic geography. In this context, local and regional governments play a central role, particularly through place-based and place-sensitive strategies. However, systematic and scalable insights into their priorities and strategies remain limited due to data availability. This paper develops a methodological appro
Wetland methane responses to temperature and precipitation are studied in a boreal wetland-rich region in northern Europe using ecosystem process models. Six ecosystem models (JSBACH-HIMMELI, LPX-Bern, LPJ-GUESS, JULES, CLM4.5, and CLM5) are compared to multi-model means of ecosystem models and atmospheric inversions from the Global Carbon Project and upscaled eddy covariance flux results for thei

The effect of the anionic surfactant SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) on the adsorption behaviors of cationic hydroxyethyl celluloses (Polymer JR-125, JR-400, and JR-30M) and hydrophobically modified cationic cellulose (Quatrisoft LM-200) at silica surfaces in the presence of a 10 mM NaCl solution has been investigated by null ellipsometry. The adsorbed amount of LM-200 is found to be considerably lar

This study evaluated the sample sizes necessary to estimate several soil and vegetation characteristics within 10% confidence intervals with 95% probability in three terra firme tropical rainforest sites. Across all three plots, the most spatially heterogeneous variables were measurements of total standing crop root mass, ground surface litter mass, litter fall, root growth and soil respiration wh
Denna uppsats utreder vilken roll skiljeförfaranden spelar och kan spela i det privata genomförandet av EU:s konkurrensregler. Det beskrivs och diskuteras hur konkurrensreglernas offentligrättsliga drag påverkar skiljeförfarandet, hur korrekt och enhetlig tillämpning av konkurrensreglerna i skiljeförfaranden kan säkerställas och hur konkurrensmyndigheter kan använda skiljeförfaranden som ett verktThis thesis investigates which role arbitration has and could have in the private enforcement of EU competition law. It is described and discussed how the public law features of competition law affect the arbitration process, how a correct and uniform application of the competition rules can be ensured in arbitration proceedings, and how competition authorities can use arbitration as a tool in the
This thesis outlines the design and construction of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. In acoustic trapping, a strong, localised acoustic field is generated inside a channel. This field can capture and retain particles against a flow, allowing for nanoparticle purification and enrichment without the need for ul
Many premature deaths and health problems could be prevented by adhering to a healthy diet, however, many people lack the self-regulation needed for maintaining healthy behaviors. Goal-conflicting situations (i.e., when a person needs to decide between one of two conflicting goals) are an obstacle for self-regulation, while coping planning is found to be useful in these situations since it entails
This paper evaluates whether a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach can be implemented, on the Swedish stock market, to optimize a portfolio. The objective is to create and train two DRL algorithms that can construct portfolios that will be benchmarked against the market portfolio, tracking OMXS30, and the two conventional methods, the naive portfolio, and minimum variance portfolio.

Zirkon från magmatiska bergarter extraherades från fem granitoider i Birimianterrängen i Ghana., och detritala zirkoner provtogs från sex platser i centrala Västgrönland. Av dessa härrör en population från palaeoproterozoikum i Prøvens magmatiska komplex. De återstående fem detritala populationerna härrör från Arke-iska källor i Västgrönland. Zirkon-populationerna analyserades med LA-ICP-MS-teknikZircon were extracted from five granitoids in the Birimian terrane in Ghana, and detrital zircon were sampled from six locations in Central West Greenland. Of these, one population is derived from the Palaeoprotero-zoic Prøven Igneous Complex. The remaining five populations are derived from the Archean basement in Central West Greenland. Zircon populations were analyzed with the LA-ICP-MS techniqu
The transformational mode of sustainability science is concerned with generating actionable knowledge and practical solutions to complex sustainability challenges in order to facilitate a transition towards sustainability by strategizing transformational pathways. However, some scholars in the field believe that sustainability science lacks such capacity, since so far greater focus has been put on
Theoretical studies assessing innovation capabilities often tend to be general. This literature might not be completely applicable in practice when it discussing utilities, which are heavily affected by their external environment. Exploring which factors that drive innovation in a utility would therefore cover a gap currently existing in innovation management literature. A theoretical contribution
