Management decisions in conservation of threatened species require trading off social needs against biodiversity values, including the prioritization of conservation locations, i.e. where conservation efforts should take place. To improve conservation decisions for the thick-shelled river mussel, Unio crassus, a highly threatened temporary parasite on fish, we performed a field study on how mussel
PURPOSE: Epinephrine is used in local anesthetics to induce vasoconstriction and thus reduce bleeding and prolong the anesthetic effect. Finding the optimal delay between the administration of the anesthetic and skin incision to ensure vasoconstriction and minimize bleeding is important and has recently become the subject of debate. This is the first study to assess blood perfusion and oxygen satu
Maternal obesity may lead to epigenetic alterations in the offspring and might thereby contribute to disease later in life. We investigated whether a lifestyle intervention in pregnant women with obesity is associated with epigenetic variation in cord blood and body composition in the offspring. Genome-wide DNA methylation was analyzed in cord blood from 208 offspring from the Treatment of Obese P
The c-kit-encoded tyrosine kinase receptor for stem cell factor (Kit/SCFR) is crucial for the development of hematopoietic cells, melanoblasts, and germ cells. Ligand stimulation of Kit/SCFR leads to receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues. We recently showed, that protein kinase C (PKC) acts in an SCF-stimulated negative feedback loop, which controls Kit/SCFR tyrosine k
Enzymes are involved in most reactions in nature. They are important both for the understanding of biological life and for reactions of industrial interest, e.g. in the production of artificial fertilizers, the production of biomass or biofuels. Enzymes with one or several metal ions are called metalloenzymes. In this thesis we study three different metalloenzymes, nitrogenase, lytic polysaccharid
DERA, 2-deoxyribose-5-phosphate aldolase, catalyzes the retro-aldol cleavage of 2-deoxy-ribose-5-phosphate (dR5P) into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) and acetaldehyde in a branch of the pentose phosphate pathway. In addition to the physiological reaction, DERA also catalyzes the reverse addition reaction and, hence, is an interesting candidate for bio-catalysis of carbo-ligation reactions, which
Rullstensåsar är en nyckelkomponent när det gäller att förstå glacial dynamik, speciellt under deglaciationsstadier. Rullstensåsar innehåller mycket information gällande inlandsisar och glaciärer, och kan potentiellt förmedla information om isutbredning, nedsmältning, dränering av ismassor och smältvattensystem. Deponerade rullstensåsar i nordöstra Skåne och västra till centrala Blekinge av den skEskers are a key component when it comes to understanding glacier dynamics, in particular during deglaciation. Eskers contain a lot of information regarding ice sheets and glaciers, and may serve as indicators of ice-front positions, meltwater discharge rates, and glacial drainage systems of the downwasting ice masses. Eskers deposited by the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) in northeast Skåne and wes
PFOS (Perfluoroktansulfonat) har genom sina unika ytaktiva och beständiga egenskaper använts i en mängd olika tillämpningar och blivit ett av jordens mest spridda ämnen. Metallytbehandling, hydrauloljor till flygplan och impregnering av textilier hör till ämnets användningsområden, men mest uppmärksammat är nog tillsatsen till brandsläckningsskum där PFOS är den aktiva beståndsdelen. Upprepade släPFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) has, through its unique surface active and non-reactive properties been used in a range of applications and has become one of the earth’s most wide spread substances. Metal plating, hydraulic fluids and textile repellants are among the chemical’s field of application, but most attention has probably been given the presence in fire-fighting foam, where PFOS constitu
I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r
Sediments from the only permanent lake on the island of Jan Mayen (71°N, 08°30′W), Lake Nordlaguna (NL), were investigated. The lake, with an area of ∼1 km2, is situated at the foot of the world's northernmost active subaerial volcano and is separated from the sea by a 150–240 m wide beach barrier, which reaches 4–5 m above sea level. Most of the lake is deeper than 25 m, with the deepest part bei
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), produced by prostate cells, provides an excellent serum marker for prostate cancer. It belongs to the human kallikrein family of enzymes, a second prostate-derived member of which is human glandular kallikrein-1 (hK2). Active PSA and hK2 are both 237-residue kallikrein-like proteases, based on sequence homology. An hK2 model structure based on the serine protease f
