The Swedish army marched 1658 over the ice on the Danish sounds from Jutland to Zealand. An event that led to the foundation of Lund University in 1666. From the loads involved the ice thickness can be determined to have been at least 20 cm. Using data from mid-17 hundreds and forward the ice thickness of every year is computed. Large ice thickness seems to have been more common in the period mid

SKA Construction phase we are now in a transition phase that hopefully will prepare us for the next challenge: start building the SKA. One of the targets of this period is to evaluate the suitability of the Taranta (proper Webjive) Suite for creating engineering User Interfaces (UIs). The Taranta suite is a framework that allows the fast creation of web UIs that directly communicate with TANGO dev

Incorrectly labelled cosmetic wet wipes can cause severe eczema, leading to major concerns amongst the public. Read below what was revealed by chemical analysis in a laboratory in Malmö, Sweden.

Sjukdomsberättelser om bröstcancer kan bidra med nya aspekter i utvecklingen av individualiserad cancerrehabiliteringBröstcancer är den vanligaste cancersjukdomen bland kvinnor världen över [1, 2]. I Sverige drabbas mer än var tionde kvinna av bröstcancer under sitt liv [3]. Utifrån att prognosen vid bröstcancer har förbättrats, är det allt fler kvinnor som överlever eller lever längre med sin sju

We make Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) flexible by combining it with AC electrokinetics.

We have fabricated a silicon-glass two-phase droplet-based microfluidic system and implemented two-dimensional acoustic focusing prior to droplet generation as well as continuously throughout the whole system to increase particle detectability. Using acoustic focusing we have effectively minimized sedimentation of the encapsulated particles and thereby increased particle detectability by as much a

Direct and precise manipulation of sub-micron particles such as bacteria, platelets, organelles, microvesicles, exosomes or virus particles is challenging. We describe for the first time how acoustic streaming in the bulk can be efficiently reduced by introducing a density or compressibility gradient and that this enables focusing of 500-nm-diameter particles in a standard acoustophoresis channel.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the conceptualisation of bibliometric analyses in terms of the levels on which they are performed, adding contextual factors to the dimension where the size of the unit being analysed is considered. Based on empirical investigations of resource allocation systems and research evaluation practices, as well as the previous literature conceptualising bibliometr

In a society increasingly characterized by cultural heterogeneity and where trust issues are becoming ever more important, new demands and dilemmas arise related to organizations’ strategic communication. This study investigates the struggles of contemporary organizations to achieve credibility and strengthen their social legitimacy as actors in Sweden’s multicultural society. The empirical case c

The highly malignant brain tumor, glioblastoma multiforme, is difficult to totally resect without aid due to its infiltrative way of growing and its morphological similarities to surrounding functioning brain under direct vision in the operating field. The need for an inexpensive and robust real-time visualizing system for resection guiding in neurosurgery has been formulated by research groups al

Background: The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kroppens immunförsvar är vårt skydd mot främmande "inkräktare", såsom virus, bakterier och parasiter. Om dessa mikroorganismer tar sig förbi de fysiska barriärerna, dvs. hud, slemhinnor saliv mm, aktiveras immunsystemet. Immun-försvaret kan delas in i det nedärvda eller naturliga försvaret samt det för-värvade försvaret. Det naturliga försvaret aktiveras först och huvudInterleukin (IL)-1beta is one of the most pleiotropic and potent cytokines, produced predominantly by activated monocytes and macrophages. IL-1 plays an important role in normal immunoregulatory processes but also in pathophysiological inflammatory responses. In the present study, we developed a model for active IL-1beta secretion.
