Ground level ozone [ozone] is considered a harmful air pollutant but there is a knowledge gap regarding its long term health effects. The main aim of this study is to develop local Land Use Regression [LUR] models that can be used to study long term health effects of ozone. The specific aim is to develop spatial LUR models for two Swedish cities, Umea and Malmo, as well as a temporal model for Mal
Digital elevation models (DEMs) can be captured and analysed by various methods. Elevation capturing with RTK-GPS and airborne laser scanning is presented and evaluated in terms of height accuracy of raw data and interpolated DEMs for study sites in Sweden and Germany. Applications for precision agriculture are based on the connection of land surface and the movement of water in the landscape. Thr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år insjuknar mer än 8000 kvinnor i Sverige i bröstcancer, och 5 år efter diagnos är nära 90% fortfarande i livet. Trots att prognosen för majoriteten av patienterna är god, dör 1400 kvinnor årligen av bröstcancer. Till följd av detta pågår mycket forskningsarbete för att finna faktorer som bättre kan förutsäga prognos, prognostiska studier, men även för att finna Breast cancer is the most common tumour form and the second leading cause of death in solid tumours in women in the Western world. Despite improvements in the treatment, a considerable number of patients will relapse and die from their breast cancer. At the same time, a substantial number of patients will be over-treated, as they would have been cured by surgery and radiotherapy alone. In the meta
Popular Abstract in Swedish Frontotemporal demens är ett sjukdomstillstånd där nervceller i hjärnans pann- (“fronto”) och tinninglober (“temporal”) förtvinar, vilket leder till en tilltagande cellförlust och uttunning av hjärnbarken i dessa områden. Till skillnad från Alzheimers sjukdom, den vanligaste demenssjukdomen, leder frontotemporal demens i första hand inte till försämrat minne och orienteThe present thesis explores alterations in brain morphology in the neurodegenerative disorder of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). With the aim to improve the clinical diagnostics of FTD, we explored the diagnostic potential of measuring morphological alterations in the white matter by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)- MRI, compared with the more commonly used assessment of grey matter thickness and vo
Background: There are differences in drug use depending on non-medical factors such as age, gender and socioeconomic status. The combined effect of these factors, with adjustment for multimorbidity, is highly relevant to study to ensure equality in drug use. Objectives: 1. To examine drug use related to age, gender, income and education after adjustment for multimorbidity, in an entire adult popul
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pyrimidiner är DNA-byggstenar som är essentiella för cellens överlevnad och delning. I mänskliga celler finns pyrimidiner att tillgå antingen genom återupptag eller genom biosyntes (nysyntes). Biosyntesen av pyrimidiner sker i flera steg och i ett av dem spelar enzymet Dihydroorotat dehydrogenas (DHODH) en avgörande roll genom att katalysera en oxidationsreaktion. När cIn the first part of the PhD work, small chemical entities (fragments) found to inhibit human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), were chemically optimized. As part of an ample program at Active Biotech to find new drugs against autoimmune diseases, expanded fragments were repeatedly designed, synthesized and evaluated in a human DHODH assay. Potent inhibitors were identified within three classe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi har studerat hur man kan använda immunsystemet för att behandla råttor med hjärntumör (maligna gliom). Eftersom råttor väldigt sällan utvecklar hjärntumörer, så måste vi injicera tumörceller i hjärnan själva. Om djuren inte får någon behandling dör de vanligen inom ca. 24 dagar. Får de däremot en injektion i buken eller under huden på benet med genmanipulerade tumörcMalignant glioma is, with rare exceptions in younger adults, an uncurable brain tumor, as very few survive more than 1-2 years after diagnosis. Despite advances in recent years, current treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy only prolongs the life of the patients. Because of the poor prognosis, several additional therapies have been investigated and are under development, such a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodet har en viktig funktion i kroppen. Blodet bildas i den röda benmärgen och består av olika typer av celler med olika specialiserade funktioner, varav många livsnödvändiga. De röda blodkropparna transporterar syre till alla våra kroppsdelar så att våra muskler fungerar och vi orkar gå och springa och så att vår hjärna kan arbeta. De vita blodkropparna hjälper oss atThe t(6;9) translocation is found in a subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is associated with a poor prognosis. The translocation results in the formation of the DEK-NUP214 fusion protein containing almost the entire nuclear protein DEK and two thirds of the nucleoporin NUP214. The molecular mechanisms behind the leukemic conversion of cells expressing the fusion protein DEK-N
Non-covalently molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) for beta(2)-amino acids were prepared for the first time. N-(2-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl)-(R)-beta(2)-homophenylalanine (N-2-ClZ-(R)-beta(2)-HPhe)was imprinted with methacrylic acid (MAA) and/or 4-vinylpyridine (4-VPy) as the functional monomers, with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate ( EDMA) as the cross-linker. The MIPs made with different ratios o
Anthropogenic activities threaten many wildlife populations by increasing mortality rates, making it crucial to identify the locations and causes of mortality to inform conservation actions. Technological advancements, such as GPS satellite tracking, enable precise recording of wildlife movements. High-resolution data from such devices can facilitate rapid carcass recovery and provide insights int
Both spring temperature and date of the first Starling Sturnus vulgaris egg were highly correlated between different study sites and weather stations in the southern half of Sweden. In southern Sweden, but not in northern Sweden, onset of breeding correlated strongly with spring temperature, particularly during the last ten days of April, the period that happens to coincide with the start of breed
Popular Abstract in Swedish p53 Ñett protein som kan fŒ leukemiceller att bli mera mogna Vid akut leukemi ansamlas omogna blodceller med nedsatt fšrmŒga till utmognad och programmerad celldšd. Detta leder till frŒnvaro av normala blodceller, vilket Šr huvudorsaken till de infektioner och blšdningsrubbningar som utgšr leukemins frŠmsta symptom. Akut leukemi har hittills framfšr allt behandlats medThe terminal differentiation of leukemic cells is closely connected to their death. The concept of differentiation therapy originates from the idea that forced maturation of leukemic cells could induce cell death without the side-effects that are provoked by ordinary chemotherapy. The tumour suppressor protein p53 is a transcription factor, and can induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis of maligna
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kroniska inflammation som ses hos personer med inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom är troligen en immunologisk reaktion riktad mot normala tarmbakterier. I denna process har monocyter/makrofager (särskild celltyp av vita blodkroppar) en central betydelse. Det är huvudsakligen makrofager i tarmslemhinnan som styr det immunsvar som utvecklas då tarmfloran kommer i kontakt med Inflammatory bowel disease is thought to result from the inappropriate and ongoing activation of the mucosal immune system driven by the presence of normal luminal flora. In this process monocytes/macrophages contribute to and maintain chronic inflammation by being both regulatory and effector cells. This study aimed at exploring the effects and regulation of chronic inflammation in inflammatory

This study sheds light upon how memes about rioting in present-day Belfast are read by their audiences. As such, it answers to a distinct research gap in the meme studies literature, which has mostly shied away from in-depth engagements with audiences, favouring instead the intertwined concepts ‘imagined audience’ and the ideological ‘directionality’ of memes. Drawing on semi-structured interviews
