FROM THE DIRECTOR CEC continues forward! During the last week , we have seen no other option than to cancel or postpone many of our courses, events and meetings. This has been done with heavy hearts, but one positive side-effect is that it has given a snap-shot summary of the impressive number and richness of events rooted in and growing from CEC. The ambition now is make continued use of all this

The oxygen-atom transfer reaction catalyzed by the mononuclear molybdenum enzyme dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (DMSOR) has attracted considerable attention through both experimental and theoretical studies. We show here that this reaction is more sensitive to details of quantum mechanical calculations than what has previously been appreciated Basis sets of at least triple-zeta quality are needed to
The quantification of species along environmental gradients has long been the subject of study regarding natural plant communities and, more recently, ecosystems disturbed by anthropogenic emissions of eutrophying and acidifying substances. We studied 527 sites in southern Swedish deciduous forests divided into two regions, with mean nitrogen depositions of 17 and 9 kg ha(-1) y(-1). The higher dep
Lately, evidence for early-Holocene emerging sedentism has been suggested among foragers in Northern Europe. The core of this suggested sedentism lies in the increasing dependency on large-scale fishing and mass consumption of fish and a territorial behaviour associated with access to the best fishing locations. This territoriality might also be associated with increasing numbers of people settlin
Issue management in market-driven software projects is constantly under time pressure. A limited set of developers must share their time between developing features for the next release and resolving reported issues. Project managers need to find the appropriate balance between a high quality product and fast time to market. We study a telecom company in Sweden developing embedded systems for a co

Undersökning av näthinneceller odlade på ljuskänsliga nanotrådar Människans sinnen bombarderas ständigt med nya intryck. En stor del av dessa förmedlas via vår syn. Ljus kommer in i ögat och absorberas av ljuskänsliga fotopigment som finns i de yttre segmenten av näthinnans fotoreceptorer. Näthinnan är uppbyggd av flera olika skikt och av flera olika celltyper, både nervceller och stödjande gliacWorldwide, millions of people suffer from retinal degenerative diseases leading to cell death of light absorbing photoreceptors. This results in vision impairment and, in many cases, eventually blindness. A possible solution for patients gone legally blind due to retinal degeneration, is the use of retinal implants. The best performing retinal implants of today, regarding vision acuity, still give
Malaria är en sjukdom som orsakas av parasiter av plasmodium släktet och överförs mellan människor av myggor. Då myggan biter en malariasmittad människa och förtär dess blod så innehåller detta blod parasiter som i senare sprids ifrån myggans mage och vidare till dess salivkörtlar. När myggan vid ett senare tillfälle biter en frisk människa, överförs parasiten från salivkörtlarna till människans bMalaria is a massive global health crisis that is most prevalent in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2013 that 3.3 billion people were at risk of being infected by the disease, resulting in around 200 million cases with more than 500 000 of these cases leading to lethal outcome. Africa was by far the most affected by the disease
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
Samtliga studenthem som som slog upp portarna i Lund i slutet av 1800-talet var enbart avsedda för män. I början av 1900-talet startades dock ett första studenthem för kvinnor i mycket blygsam skala. Ekonomin satte käppar i hjulet för större satsningar, varpå det dröjde ända till 1937 innan Studentskegården kunde invigas. I Lund runt sekelskiftet 1900 rådde det egentligen ingen brist på studentrum

Melanoma is an aggressive disease that arises from deregulated signaling events in melanocytes. The KIT receptor tyrosine kinase and the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) are two essential components that are required for the normal physiology of melanocyte development and function. Consequently, aberrant activities of these factors are involved in the development of melanoma.
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
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
Popular Abstract in Swedish Som en blixt från klar himmel drabbas en ung, och till synes frisk person, av hjärnblödning. Denna stroke leder till demens och efterföljande nya blödningar leder slutligen till en för tidig död. Man har kunnat visa att denna sjukdom beror på att en variant av ett visst protein, cystatin C, tvinnar ihop sig till rep-liknande långa fibriller. Dessa fibriller ansamlas sedAmyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by a change in protein conformation resulting in aggregation and tissue deposition of amyloid fibrils. One variant of cystatin C, L68Q cystatin C, is highly amyloidogenic and persons carrying the corresponding gene suffer from massive cerebral amyloidosis leading to brain hemorrhage and death. Amyloidogenic proteins like cystatin C and prion protein
The use of genetically modifi ed neural stem and progenitor cells could possibly be a future strategy for repairing a brain suffering from neurodegeneration. However, so far it has proven diffi cult to maintain sufficient levels of a transferred gene in suitable cell types, after transplantation. In the present thesis I studied the silencing of transgenes induced upon differentiation of neural pro
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
Primär hyperparathyroidism, pHPT, är en relativt vanlig endokrinologisk sjukdom som karaktäriseras av förhöjd utsöndring av bisköldkörtelhormon, PTH, i förhållande till kalciumnivån i blodet. Sjukdomen är vanligast hos äldre och kvinnor, och orsakas oftast av en godartad tumör i en bisköldkörtel (80–85% av fallen) eller mer diffus förstoring av flera bisköldkörtlar. Bisköldkörtlarnas fysiologiska

Per Mårtensson Tillämpning av SCORE-metoden på f.d BT Kemis södra område Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att tillämpa multikriteriaanalysen SCORE för att utreda vilket av tre åtgärdsalternativ som mest gynnar hållbar utveckling vid den kommande saneringen av det södra området på BT Kemi – samt att även utvärdera själva SCORE-metoden. Intresset för hållbar sanering har ökat i takt med att Remediation of contaminated sites may cause adverse negative effects like usage of non-renewable resources, high monetary cost, air emissions and an increased risk of accidents. Therefore, interest in sustainable remediation has increased in recent years. The aim with sustainable remediation is to integrate a holistic perspective on remedial projects and find the alternative that is considered bes
Abstract in UndeterminedRelevant source area of pollen (RSAP) and pollen productivity for 11 key taxa characteristic of the pasture woodland landscape of the Jura Mountains, Switzerland, were estimated using pollen assemblages from moss polsters at 20 sites. To obtain robust pollen productivity estimates (PPEs), we used vegetation survey data at a fine spatial-resolution (1 x 1 m(2)) and randomize
