Background: A novel potential approach for lung transplantation could be to utilize xenogeneic decellularized pig lung scaffolds that are recellularized with human lung cells. However, pig tissues express several immunogenic proteins, notably galactosylated cell surface glycoproteins resulting from alpha 1,3 galactosyltransferase (α-gal) activity, that could conceivably prevent effective use. Use
AIM: It is of interest to predict possible lifetime risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young children for recruiting high-risk subjects into longitudinal studies of effective prevention strategies.METHODS: Utilizing a case-control study in Sweden, we applied a recently developed next generation targeted sequencing technology to genotype class II genes and applied an object-oriented regression to bui
Geocoding longitudinal and individual-level historical demographic databases enables novel analyses of how micro-level geographic factors affected demographic outcomes over long periods. However, such detailed geocoding involves high costs. Additionally, the high spatial resolution cannot be properly utilized if inappropriate methods are used to quantify the geographic factors. We assess how diffe
Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide and different types of impairments can affect the individual’s ability to manage everyday activities such as travel that is essential for participation in society. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a new self-management intervention (BUS TRIPS) focusing on travelling by bus, and potential contributions to an improved abi
Microtubule-disturbing drugs inhibit lysosomal trafficking and induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization followed by cathepsin-dependent cell death. To identify specific trafficking-related proteins that control cell survival and lysosomal stability, we screened a molecular motor siRNA library in human MCF7 breast cancer cells. SiRNAs targeting four kinesins (KIF11/Eg5, KIF20A, KIF21A, KIF25), my
Background: Faculty development roles are changing within organizations (Gibbs 2013). In previous research the expanding role in organizations as “Coming in from the margins” was described (Schroeder 2011). We studied how different levels of participation evolved within a research intense faculty with a complex organization and various educational programs.Summary of Work: The Centre was establish
PURPOSE: To estimate cause-specific mortality in osteoarthritis patients compared to the general population.METHODS: We identified all residents in southern Sweden aged 45-84 years in 2003. Through the Skåne Healthcare Register we identified those diagnosed with osteoarthritis in peripheral joints between 1998-2003. We followed all residents from 2004 until relocation outside of the region, death,
Directed relation graph with error propagation (DRGEP) method combined with extensive validation for 0D, 1D and 2D CFD modeling supported by sensitivity and Rate-Of-Production (ROP) analyses are implemented for comparative study of detailed and reduced kinetic mechanisms for CH 4
Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in med
Government agencies in Sweden are experiencing a communicative turn where notions concerning branding, image and identity have become standardized tools and concerns. Public relations, with its focus on persuasion and creating relations with external actors, is part of this communicative turn. This book is concerned with how government agencies practice political public relations in a more communi
The extent and type of nutrient limitation will affect soil microorganism activity and may change the balance between organism groups, like fungi and bacteria. Limiting nutrients have traditionally been measured as increased respiration after adding nutrients, but this will not differentiate between fungal or bacterial responses. We compared respiration, bacterial and fungal growth after alleviati
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease with widespread physiological insults to the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, above all glycaemic regulation. The pathogenesis of T2D and its progression is broadly understood to be through a gradual decrease in peripheral insulin sensitivity, a compensatory rise in insulin secretion, and a gradual decline in beta-cell function, resulting in glycaemic
Introduction Episodic memory allows us to revisit our past and recollect inter-related elements that characterize life events (Tulving, 1983). When forming such relational memories, we only apprehend a small part of our visual field in full acuity at a time. This limitation is overcome by shifting visual attention over a sequence of eye movements. We bind these visual “samples” of the world into
Aim: The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is a flagship species for global freshwater ecosystems. As one of the most widely distributed Palearctic mammals, the otter used to inhabit most provinces in China. However, after decades of relentless hunting and habitat degradation, the Sanjiangyuan Region is now one of last strongholds for this species in China. Currently, there still remains an enormous kn
The importance of daylight to occupants’ health and wellbeing has been extensively documented, as well as its role in reducing electric lighting use. As a result, most countries have today some form of regulatory framework, specifying minimum daylight requirements for built spaces. The present Swedish building code (BBR – BFS 2011:6) includes general recommendations for daylight provision of resid
Specific interactions between the carboxylic acid moiety and the monovalent salts CsCl, NaCl, and LiCl, have been investigated in Langmuir monolayers using vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) and complemented with coarse grained and all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. By exploiting VSFS's intrinsic surface specificity, an emphasis was made on targeting headgroup vibrations of both i
Background and Aim: Artificial intelligence (AI) in mammography screening can aid cancer detection. Commercially available AI systems can assign region and exam scores based on malignancy suspicion. Despite promising suggestions, clinical implementation is limited- partly due to a lack of trust among radiologist and prospective evaluation. Inevitably, this leads to the question of how an AI system

Transmission problems and domain decompositions for non-autonomous parabolic equations on evolving domains Amal Alphonse, Ana Djurdjevac, Emil Engström, and Eskil Hansen Abstract. Parabolic equations on evolving domains model a multitude of applications including various industrial processes such as the molding of heated materials. Such equations are numerically challenging as they require large-s
