The awareness of problems concerning arsenic contaminated drinking water sources has during recent years increased. WHO (World Health Organization) decided in 1993 to lower the recommended limit of arsenic in drinking water from 50 μg/l to 10 μg/l, mainly due to observations of its carcinogenicity. New places where the WHO limit for arsenic is exceeded are constantly discovered all over the world.

Purpose: to develop a robust protocol optimized for measurement of ADC and use it to determine the precision of ADC measurements of prostate but also to determine the accuracy and precision of volume measurements of the prostate. Materials and methods: Using measurements from three volunteers an optimal protocol for ADC measurement in the prostate was determined. The study included both phantoms
I denna uppsats härleds och testas en ny omviktningsalgoritm med vars hjälp det nativa tillståndet av aminosyresekvenser, bestående av 16 aminosyror, kan förutspås. Algoritmen används till att kartlägga de neutrala näten av α-helixes och β-sheets inom ett kontinuerligt proteinmodell. För att undersöka omviktningsalgoritmens potential för att förutsäga den termodynamiska stabiliteten av olika aminIn this thesis, a new reweighting algorithm for predicting the native conformations of amino acid sequences, consisting of 16 residues in a reduced representation continuous protein model, is derived and tested to map neutral nets of α-helices and β-sheets. For examining the potential of the reweighting algorithm for predicting the thermodynamic stability of amino acid sequences, it is applied to
Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite
Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are enzymes that bind polysaccharides followed by an (oxidative) disruption of the polysaccharide surface, thereby boosting depolymerization. The binding process between the LPMO catalytic domain and polysaccharide is key to the mechanism and establishing structure-function relationships for this binding is therefore crucial. The hyperfine coupling const
Adaptation in new environments depends on the amount of genetic variation available for evolution, and the efficacy by which natural selection discriminates among this variation. However, whether some ecological factors reveal more genetic variation, or impose stronger selection pressures than others, is typically not known. Here, we apply the enzyme kinetic theory to show that rising global tempe
The contributing chapters of this book all illustrate the richness and diversity of problem-driven research in EU studies. This concluding chapter draws together the insights of this rich diversity in order to move the study of research strategies beyond the dichotomies of the past towards a new agenda for research on Europe. The crisis gripping the EU in the 21st century is not just an economic c
The simplest network of coupled phase-oscillators exhibiting chimera states is given by two populations with disparate intra- and inter-population coupling strengths. We explore the effects of heterogeneous coupling phase-lags between the two populations. Such heterogeneity arises naturally in various settings, for example, as an approximation to transmission delays, excitatory-inhibitory interact
RQ20 (Research Quality Evaluation 2020), the major research quality evaluation at Lund University, is part of a cycle of assessments done in the last two decades. RQ20 differs from the former evaluations in that it assesses the preconditions for research quality and the potential areas of elevation in all parts of the University, rather than being an evaluation of research quality. The many dimens
Twenty years since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 there is an almost unanimous call for an increased number of uniformed women in peace operations from policy-makers and multilateral organizations. This continuous push for the inclusion of more women is often justified by arguments about an increased operational effectiveness related to women's ‘added value’: both implicitly a
As physical distancing is a core measure of containing the spread of COVID-19, this pandemic is a crisis that has uprooted social interaction. While current research mainly focuses on crises as a challenge for entrepreneurial ventures and potential regulatory response mechanisms, we complement this research by addressing the question of how crises in general—and COVID-19's physical distancing meas
This article discusses a key methodological difficulty in conducting qualitative research close to home: the issue of overthinking. Whereas MALINOWSKI's concern regarding imponderabilia, i.e., the risk of not thinking about the subtle phenomena of everyday life, has long haunted ethnographers and qualitative researchers, not least those working "at home," we highlight an issue of overponderabilia,
Drawing on the IR theories of norm translation and strategic narratives, this article focuses on how states translate international norms to their own advantage by producing strategic narratives to advance their soft power ambitions abroad. Using the example of Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP), the article compares Sweden, Canada, France, and Mexico in their attempts to translate international femini
This abstract is based on a pilot study from an ongoing project focusing the implementation of a digital platform offering support for both the patient- and workflow at a primary healthcare center in Western Sweden. The overarching aim of the project is to follow the introduction and adaptation (normalization) of the platform in primary healthcare centers to study how digital support of the patien
The one-body density matrix has recently attracted considerable attention as a promising key quantity for the description of systems out of equilibrium. Its time evolution is given in terms of the two-body density matrix, and thus the central challenge is to find approximations to the latter. An extra layer of difficulty is added when dealing with strong electron correlations. In this work, we exp
