Costs in the ecology and evolution of the vertebrate immune system

A central assumption of theories of the ecology and evolution of immunological defence is that defence has not only benefits (in the form of resistance against parasites), but also costs. The aim of my studies was to investigate the nature and magnitude of costs of the vertebrate immune system, and to examine some of the consequences of these costs. First, I investigated the energetic cost of the

PACAP and airway regulation with special reference to smooth muscle and neutrophils

The investigations focus on the neuropeptidepituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide and its effects on airway regulation, with emphasis on smooth muscle relaxation and neutrophil activation and migration. In the nasal mucosa, PACAP-containing nerve fibers were localized invascular smooth muscle and close to seromucous glands. In the lung, PACAP-containing nerve fibers were found close to se

Strategic Energy Solutions: A Case Study of the Öresund Region

“Strategic Energy Solutions” is the final report on energy solutions for a zero emission Öresund region. It consists of numerous solutions that have been, or can be, applied in the region in order to minimise the environmental impact of the energy sector. Additionally it includes a case study of energy transition projects on Lolland Island in Denmark. The report seeks to provide recommendations fo

Type 2 Cystatins. Studies on the role of the major cystatin, cystatin C, in mice and on properties and distribution of the novel human cystatins F, G, H and I.

The aim the thesis work was to study the human cystatins C, E/M, F, G, H and I both in vivo and in vitro. A mouse devoid of cystatin C was used for the cystatin C studies. The levels of cystatins C, E/M and F were measured in pleural effusion samples of patients with various lung disorders. Cystatin F protein and RNA levels were measured in the human haematopoietic cell line U937 as well as in cel

Observational Studies of the Chemical Evolution in the Galactic Thin and Thick Disks

The origin and evolution of the thin and thick disks in the Galaxy have been studied by means of detailed stellar abundances. High-resolution spectra of 102 F and G dwarf stars have been obtained with the spectrographs on the ESO 3.6-m and ESO 1.5-m telescopes on La Silla (Chile), the Very Large Telescope (VLT) on Paranal (Chile), and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma (Canary Islands,

School choice and the Natural Science Program

Abstract: In Chapter 3, written together with MimmiBarmark, we try to estimate the extent to which students’choices are guided and restricted by structural and symbolicboundaries, in order to point out the possible reasons forschool segregation between the different Natural Scienceschools. The analysis is divided into seven steps and basedprimarily not only on survey data, but also on interviewswi

Aspects of meaning in everyday occupations and its relationships to health-related factors

The general aim of this thesis was to explore aspects of meaning connected with the performance of everyday occupations. Further, the aim was to investigate relationships between occupation, meaning, and health-related variables among adult and elderly subjects with and without chronic pain. Another aim was to develop appropriate methodology and theory for this research area. Due to the explorativ

Genome-wide interaction study of smoking behavior and non-small cell lung cancer risk in Caucasian population

Non-small cell lung cancer is the most common type of lung cancer. Both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to lung carcinogenesis. We conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and smoking status (never- versus ever-smokers) in a European-descent population. We adopted a two-step analysis strategy in the discovery stage: we first cond

Islet microRNAs in health and type-2 diabetes

Failure of the β-cell to secrete enough insulin is a major contributing factor in the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes (T2D). MicroRNAs provide an extra layer in the regulation of protein expression, and are thus involved in β-cell compensation during development of the disease. In this review, we discuss how microRNAs can regulate their target protein expression and phenotypic output, present the

Screening för kolorektal cancer - Evidensläge, metoder och utmaningar : Implementeringen varierar stort mellan olika länder

Convincing data demonstrate that screening reduces mortality in colorectal cancer. International organizations and national authorities recommend implementation of colorectal cancer screening programs. There are several different primary methods for screening, including tests of blood in feces, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, all with their inherent advantages and disadvantages. The majority of pro
