Anthropogenic activities such as hydropower exploitation have been one of the main drivers of anadromous fish biodiversity loss during the past century. This has led to genetic homogenization and to the reduction of positive mechanisms such as the “portfolio effect”. In this study we propose the first comprehensive analysis of the genetic differences in Salmo salar and Salmo trutta populations in
The present thesis investigated using the random forest machine learning algorithm for wind power forecasting. Meteorological prognoses for wind speed, wind direction, gust winds, and humidity were used. For historical data, wind minimum and temperature was also included. The results were evaluated using root means square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), normalized mean absolute error (NMA
The funnel metadynamics method enables rigorous calculation of the potential of mean force along an arbitrary binding path and thereby evaluation of the absolute binding free energy. A problem of such physical paths is that the mechanism characterizing the binding process is not always obvious. In particular, it might involve reorganization of the solvent in the binding site, which is not easily c
An evaluation has been made of the capability of rapeseed oil to dissolve polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) crystals in a biphasic system and of its capability to extract PAHs from polluted soil in a two-liquid-phase (TLP) slurry system. Up to 220 g l(-1) of the crystalline hydrocarbons could be dissolved in the organic phase, indicating oil/water-partitioning coefficients of 10(5). When soil
The past and present distribution of Lobaria pulmonaria in Denmark, northern Germany, northwestern Poland and nemoral parts of Skåne, Blekinge, southwesternmost Småland and southern Öland (Sweden) has been studied. Of 124 localities visited between 2015 and 2018, L. pulmonaria was confirmed at 64 sites, at each of which its habitat ecology and viability were investigated. It is almost extinct in S
Catalytic breakdown of polysaccharides can be achieved more efficiently by means of the enzymes lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs). However, the LPMO mechanism has remained controversial, preventing full exploitation of their potential. One of the controversies has centered around an active site tyrosine, present in most LPMO classes. Recent investigations have for the first time obtained
The conservation value of sandy habitats for a flora and fauna adapted to open, light, dry, warm, and often nutrient-poor conditions, is well recognized. Today this environment is threatened by lack of disturbance, fragmentation and exploitation, acidification and increased levels of nitrogen and phosphorus. Traditional management such as mowing and grazing have proven unsuitable for restoring pop
Abstract To estimate the timescale of hepatitis B virus (HBV) evolutionary history and analyzing its phylogeographic patterns, publically available HBV sequences were collected from GenBank. Among those, 412 sequences were from genotype A and 566 sequences were from genotype D. These sequences comprised the entire genome and represented samples obtained between 1982 and 2009 from different parts

Handeln med varumärkesförfalskade produkter, som länge har ansetts som en ganska harmlös företeelse som konsumenten varit väl införstådd med, har utvecklats till en väloljad miljardindustri där såväl rättighetsinnehavaren, samhället och konsumenten riskerar att lida skada. De varumärkesförfalskade produkterna består inte längre av dåligt imiterade solglasögon utan av professionellt utformade kopioCounterfeiting has long been considered a rather harmless phenomenon. However, counterfeiting has evolved from a small-scale activity into one on an industrial scale. It has come to pose a serious threat, not only to the interests of the right holder, but to the consumers and the society as a whole. Counterfeit products are no longer just poorly crafted copies of sunglasses; today they are profess
År 2018 ändrades reglerna för förmånsbeskattning av privatfinansierad vård som arbetsgivare betalar åt sina anställda. Tidigare var sådan vårdförmån inte skattepliktig för den anställde och icke avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren, men värdet ska nu tas upp till beskattning i inkomstslaget tjänst och istället är kostnaden avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren. Ett huvudsakligt argument för arbetsgivare att stå In 2018, the rules on taxation of private health care and health care insurances that employers pay to their employees were changed. Previously, such care was not to be taxed for the employee and non-deductible for the employer. The value of such service must now be included for taxation for the employee and is instead deductible for the employer. A major argument for employers to bear these costs
Cancer är en otrevlig sjukdom, som drabbar många människor. Man söker ständigt nya och bättre sätt att bota patienter eller åtminstone lindra sjukdomens framfart. Ett vanligt sätt att behandla cancer är med strålning. Strålningen kan bestå av sk fotoner. Fotoner är samma slags partiklar som t.ex. vanligt ljus. Skillnaden är att de fotoner som används vid strålbehandling av cancer har högre energi "Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether inversely planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using the clinical radiotherapy equipment at hand in our department, renders any advantages regarding dose distribution over conventional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients in the ARTSCAN (Accelerated RadioTherapy of Squamous cell Carcinoma in the head And Nec
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) plays a key role in linking terrestrial and aquatic carbon cycles. Most of the work on soil and water DOC has been conducted in temperate watersheds. There is still a gap in knowledge on DOC dynamics within the tropics. This study assesses water extractable organic carbon (WEOC) in topsoils and describes the relationship between WEOC and land use/land cover (LULC), s

Mangroves provide numerous environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration, water purification, climate change mitigation, and flood and Tsunami impact reduction. Despite these unique advantages, mangroves are threatened by the combined adverse impacts of human activities and climate change. Therefore, it is essential to implement reasonable practices to avoid further degradation of mangroves
Antibiotic resistance is currently an extensive medical challenge worldwide, with global numbers increasing steadily. Recent data have highlighted wastewater treatment plants as a reservoir of resistance genes. The impact of these findings for human health can best be summarized using a One Health concept. However, the molecular mechanisms impacting resistance spread have not been carefully evalua
Cykling är en viktig del av ett hållbart transportsystem. Det bidrar bl.a. till en bättre miljö och förbättrad folkhälsa. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vilka faktorer som kännetecknar en bra cykelstad, ur en infrastruktursynpunkt och vilka faktorer som kan leda till ökad cykling. I arbetet intervjuas representanter för kommunerna Lund, Malmö och Helsingborg om vilka infrastrukturella åtgärdeCycling is an important part of a sustainable transport system. It contributes among other things to a better environment and improved public health. The aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors characterize a good cycling city, from an infrastructural point of view, and which factors may lead to increased cycling. In the thesis, representatives of the municipalities of Lund, Malmö and H
The interaction of blood coagulation factor X and its Gla-containing fragments with negatively charged phospholipid membranes composed of 25 mol% phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and 75 mol% phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho) was studied by surface plasmon resonance. The binding to 100 mol% PtdCho membranes was negligible. The calcium dependence in the membrane binding was evaluated for intact bovine factor
Feedbacks mechanisms are essential components of our climate system, as they either increase or decrease changes in climate-related quantities in the presence of external forcings. In this work, we provide the first quantitative estimate regarding the terrestrial climate feedback loop connecting the increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, changes in gross primary production (GPP) asso
