Peder Winstrup – Historier kring en 1600-talsmumie är en populärvetenskaplig bok om en biskop i Lund med många strängar på sin lyra; professor i fysik, kunglig hovpredikant, fornforskare, arkitekt, författare, teolog, boktryckare, initiativtagare till Lunds universitet och turistguide – en sann renässansmänniska! Här beskrivs uppväxt och utbildning, hans residens och rättstvister. Läsaren får ta d

Within the project LATERES COCTILES early fired bricks have been the objectof a multifaceted investigation. One aim has been to elucidate the mechanisms behind the diffusion of this innovation. An inventory of Hellenistic and early Roman fired bricks around the Mediterranean resulted in an archaeological database comprising 276 brick contexts. Network analysis was applied to these data using a two

Introduction Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains low. Early recognition by emergency medical dispatchers is essential for an effective chain of actions, leading to early cardiopulmonary resuscitation, use of an automated external defibrillator and rapid dispatching of the emergency medical services. Aim To analyse and compare the accuracy of OHCA recognition by medical dis

Background: Change in albuminuria as a surrogate endpoint for progression of chronic kidney disease is strongly supported by biological plausibility, but empirical evidence to support its validity in epidemiological studies is lacking. We aimed to assess the consistency of the association between change in albuminuria and risk of end-stage kidney disease in a large individual participant-level met

As the hardest tissue formed by vertebrates, enamel represents nature's engineering masterpiece with complex organizations of fibrous apatite crystals at the nanometer scale. Supramolecular assemblies of enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) play a key role as the structural scaffolds for regulating mineral morphology during enamel development. However, to achieve maximum tissue hardness, most organic con

Purpose The purpose of this article is to explore the environmental impact of Logistics Service Provider (LSP) activities in the light of increased customer attention and fragmentation of the industry. We try to answer the question, to what extent the LSPs can actually monitor the environmental impact of logistics activities in the supply chain? Design/methodology/approach The methodology of this

Popular Abstract in Swedish De allra flesta mikrobiella infektioner börjar på slemhinnan och en gemensam nämnare för patogena mikroberna är deras förmåga att stimulera ett immunsvar på just den plats som de infekterat. De patogena bakteriernas kommer först i kontakt med epitelcellerna, som bildar kroppens barriär mot omgivningen. Interaktionen mellan patogener och dessa celler leder till ett inflaMicrobial attachment to host cells plays a central role in the induction of inflammatory responses and the production of the disease. Uropathogenic Gram negative bacteria carry surface lectins that specifically recognize oligosaccharide receptor epitopes expressed on glycolipids or glycoproteins. The resulting attachment may facilitate the action of other virulence factors, but may also activate t

The functioning of modern societies is highly dependent on flows, relying on timely deliveries of goods and services. Critical flows are those particularly important, e.g., electricity, food, and pharmaceuticals. Infrastructures upholding flows often transgress national borders, where a disruption can escalate into wide-spread crises. Continuity of critical flows is hence of outmost importance und

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people and ranks among the most common neurological diseases worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, one-third of patients still suffer from refractory epilepsy. Wearable devices for real-time patient monitoring can potentially improve the quality of life for such patients and reduce the mortality rate due to seizure-related accidents and sudden death in epi

Because of increasing demand, rapid development of in vitro and in vivo models to be used to study lung regeneration and lung repair has occurred during the last years. Even if imaging has always been an important tool in diagnosing disease and validating models, the current disease models, including three-dimensional (3D) lung models, put a higher demand on advanced imaging techniques. Moreover,
