Background: Immunohistochemical (IHC) PD-L1 expression is commonly employed as predictive biomarker for checkpoint inhibitors in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, IHC evaluation methods are non-uniform and further studies are needed to optimize clinical utility. Methods: We compared the concordance, prognostic value and gene expression between PD-L1 IHC expression by SP142 immune cell

Background: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cross the placenta and thereby expose the fetus, which may lead to developmental consequences. It is still unclear which chemicals are of concern regarding neurodevelopment and specifically behaviour, when being exposed to a mixture. Objective: The objective is to determine associations between prenatal exposure to EDCs and behavioural difficul

The aim of the present study was to gain information about adrenergic-, cholinergic- and nonadrenergic, non-cholinergic (NANC)- transmitter systems/mediators in the rat vagina, and to characterize its smooth muscles functionally. Tissue sections from vagina of Sprague Dawley rats were immunolabelled with antibodies against protein gene product 9.5 (PGP), synaptophysin (Syn), tyrosine hydroxylase (

Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

The handling of biochemically functionalised beads or particles is becoming increasingly important in µTAS. Bead-based analysis of e.g. proteins can be made sensitive due to the large active surface area and flexible by chemical design of the bead surface. We have developed a microfluidic device utilising an array of integrated and individually controlled ultrasonic microtransducers for particle t

Over recent decades, use of insecticides to protect plants from pests and harmful insects have increased manyfold. Neonicotinoid insecticides, such as Imidacloprid (IMI) acts as partial agonists on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors which are widely present in both the central and peripheral nervous system of insects. Pollinators like Eristalis tenax are frequently exposed to these pesticides but h

Rotary vacuum filters (RVFs) with adiatomaceous earth (kieselguhr) coatings as filter aid are the most established technology for the removal of the so-called mud fraction after liquefaction and saccharification in the production of starch-based sweeteners. The RVFs is an open process which is further associated with the use of filters resulting in an increasing disposal challenge. Based on this t

A large part of the literature published in the ‘Global South’ is barely covered by bibliographic databases. Institutional policies increasingly require researchers globally to publish in ‘international’ journals, draining local infrastructures. The standard-setting power of ‘Global South’ scholars is minimised further. My main aim is to render visible the ways in which European academic libraries

The textile industry generates vast wastewater containing synthetic dyes and polymeric additives like poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which pose serious environmental challenges. Conventional treatment methods struggle to remove these contaminants while enabling resource recovery. PVA, widely used as a textile sizing agent, increases treatment complexity, while reactive dyes like Reactive Yellow 145 ar

The extraction of spectral information in the inversion process of time-domain (TD) induced polarization (IP) data is changing the use of the TDIP method. Data interpretation is evolving from a qualitative description of the subsurface, able only to discriminate the presence of contrasts in chargeability parameters, towards a quantitative analysis of the investigated media, which allows for detail

Energieffektivitet är viktigt i vårt moderna samhälle och i jakten på det kan oväntade problem uppstå. När Axis Communications i strävan efter ökad bildkvalitet och energieffektivitet tillämpade IR-stroboskop med hög toppeffekt som belysning åt kameror med global slutare, observerades en artefakt i form av ett vitt band i närliggande kameror med rullande slutare. Syftet med detta examensarbete är Energy efficiency is key in our modern society, and in its pursuit, unexpected problems can appear. For instance, when Axis Communications in the pursuit of image quality and energy efficiency used strobing IR-illumination to illuminate for their global shutter cameras, they observed an artefact in the form of a white band in their rolling shutter cameras. The purpose of this thesis is to find a s

Sweden’s substantial building stock from the million programs is in need of renovations. These residential buildings were built without major attention to energy demand or architectural aesthetics. Until now, property owners have hesitated to carry out energy renovations due to the investment cost. The aim of this master thesis was to propose an energy-efficient renovation procedure whilst takin

In public safety oversight authorities are traditionally assumed responsible of safeguarding operation and promoting safety by defining prescriptions and observing that they are complied with. Regulated entities on their side are assumed responsibility for complying. While this compliance-based approach has contributed to current levels of safety, it is increasingly debated that it has limitatio

The building sector, as a major consumer of energy and resources, has been slow to adopt sustainability and digitalization compared to other sectors. This dissertation investigates how digital tools, particularly computational design (CD), can support the reuse of building parts within a circular economy framework, through design for disassembly and reuse-centred design (RCD) strategies. The resea

Many coastal areas in Vietnam suffer from erosion. One of the worst affected areas is the Hai Hau beach, located in the Red River delta in northern Vietnam. Over the last hundred years, vast parts of the beach have eroded at an average rate of approximately 25 m per year. Important agricultural land has vanished into the sea and families have been forced to abandon their houses. The cause of the

What type of exam should I use? Exam type and structure should be chosen based on the type of questions and in what way they should be answered. When deciding which type of exam to use, it could be helpful to start by thinking about whether answers are written by hand or on the computer and whether students are allowed access to course material/literature and notes or not. Possible exam types Answ
