Altered microbial composition of the intestine, commonly referred to as dysbiosis, has been associated with several autoimmune diseases including primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS). The aims of the current study were to study the intestinal microbial balance in pSS and to identify clinical features associated with dysbiosis.
In this paper we develop a system for detection of word-related head movements in audiovisu-al recordings of read news. Our materials consist of Swedish television news broadcasts and comprise audiovisual recordings of five news readers (two female, three male). The corpus was manually labelled for head movement, applying a simplistic annotation scheme consisting of a binary decision about absence
Radiocarbon analysis of the carbonaceous aerosol allows an apportionment of fossil and non-fossil sources of airborne particulate matter (PM). A chemical separation of total carbon (TC) into its subfractions organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) refines this powerful technique, as OC and EC originate from different sources and undergo different processes in the atmosphere. Although C-14 an
The purposes of this article-based thesis are to explore and understand preaching as a practice in general, and the practice of preaching in digital culture and spaces in particular. Informed by the practice theory of Theodore Schatzki, it presents the results of a cross-case analysis of four different case studiesof the practice of preaching in digital culture and spaces in Swedish protestant chu
During bioreactor scale-up, unexpected failures become more prevalent due to the increase in volume. A comparison of mixing performance was thus made using computational modeling for two bioreactors at different scales. At the biopharmaceutical company Alvotech, bioreactors are used at different scales for producing biological medicines known as biosimilars. Bioreactors are vessels containing a m
This article reports the result of a survey designed to investigate the degree of uncertainty by which a representative sample of Swedish households hold their perceptions and expectations of inflation. The public displays hardly any uncertainty concerning the direction of change of the price level as measured by the ratio of ‘don’t know’ answers. However, when asked for numerical estimates of the

Competition between neighbouring trees has a big impact on their growth. Trees have different strategies to deal with competing neighbours. Some grow quickly and tall, overshadowing neighbouring trees, but die young (Georges K., 2015). Others grow more slowly, but outlive the fast-growing ones and cast shade on them over a longer period. These interactions have a strong influence on the dynamics o
To monitor serum concentrations of the aggrecan alanine-arginine-glycine-serine (ARGS) neoepitope in a clinical trial of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS)-5 inhibition as disease-modifying therapy of knee osteoarthritis, and to investigate relationships between reduction in ARGS and change in cartilage thickness, knee-related pain and function.DesignROCCELLA t
Mesoporous silica materials, such as SBA-15, have potential as biocompatible carriers for pharmaceutical applications as well as mini-reactors in e.g. catalysis. This potential arises from their well-defined porous structure on the nanometre scale accompanied by a high internal surface area (800 - 1000 m2/g). This work addresses the following issues. i) Surface grafted PNIPAAM was found to be loca
