Amfibier i dagvattendammar — vad vet vi? Bor du i en stad men har hört grodor kväka under sommarmånaderna? Då är det inte osannolikt att de satt och ropade på varandra i en dagvattendamm. Amfibier brukar kanske inte alltid förknippas med stadsnära miljöer, men förutom att bidra med vattenrening och flödesutjämning, så kan dagvattendammar agera nattklubb och barnkammare. (För att inte tala om inseAmid an anthropogenic sixth mass extinction, amphibians are among the most threatened organism groups. This can be explained largely by the loss and fragmentation of natural wetlands due to agricultural activities and urbanisation. Stormwater retention ponds are designed both to provide flood control and to collect and purify runoff from impervious surfaces but could also serve as amphibian habita
A common technique within image analysis is image classification which describes the process of reducing the information content of an image into few user-defined classes. With the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), high spatial resolution (cm-level) images can be collected. This thesis aims at testing different methods for classifying UAV images from an agricultural crop site in the so
The abuse of flunitrazepam (FZ) compounds is worldwide, and several studies have reflected on the consequences with regard to violence, aggression and criminal lifestyle of FZ users. Criminals take high doses of FZ or some other benzodiazepines to "calm down" before the planned crime. There is support from earlier studies that most likely, all benzodiazepines may increase aggression in vulnerable
Achieving efficient electrochemical communication between redox enzymes and various electrode materials is one of the main challenges in bioelectrochemistry and is of great importance for developing electronic applications. Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) is an extracellular flavocytochrome composed of a catalytic FAD containing dehydrogenase domain (DH(CDH)), a heme b containing cytochrome domain
Background: The hand is the second most fractured region in children. It is therefore important to update fracture epidemiology to be able to identify time trends for adequate health care planning. This study reports pediatric hand fracture incidence 2014–2016 and, using published data, also long-term time trends in 1950–2016. Patients and methods: The Swedish city of Malmö, with 328,494 inhabitan
In this chapter, the pathophysiology and neurochemical pathology of epileptic brain damage is discussed on the basis of an integrative approach in which a comparison is made to cell necrosis resulting from ischemia and hypoglycemia. Two main questions are asked. First, is the brain damage resulting from these three disorders of cerebral energy metabolism similar in distribution and structural char
AIMS: The very long-term outcome of patients who survive the first few years after receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has not been well described thus far. We aimed to provide long-term outcomes, especially with regard to the occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in CRT patients without (CRT-P) and with defibrillator (CRT-D).METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 1775 patients, with is
Background Preeclampsia is considered a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present case-control study in Sweden was to assess the hypothesized association between low serum vitamin D concentrations in early pregnancy and the risk of developing preeclampsia since vitamin D may play a role in early placental development. Methods The study included 296 women dia
With the continued development of tracking technology and increasing interest in animal movement, our understanding of migration behavior has become more comprehensive. However, there are still many species that have not been well studied, particularly sea birds. Here, we present the first year-round Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking data of the Black-tailed Gull (Larus crassirostris) at th
In this study, the long-term mortality effects associated with exposure to PM10 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than or equal to 10 µm), PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than or equal to 2.5 µm), BC (black carbon), and NOx (nitrogen oxides) were analyzed in a cohort in southern Sweden during the period from 1991 to 2016. Participants (those residing in Malmö, S
Objectives The aim was to study the development of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (RKOA) in individuals with knee pain over 2 years, and the associations between radiographic changes and baseline variables. Design Longitudinal cohort study. Participants and setting This study is part of the Halland Osteoarthritis cohort. The included 178 individuals, aged 30-67, had knee pain, without cruciate l
Detta är den tolfte årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationellt miljöövervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket sedan 2010. Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning är ett samarbete mellan Sveriges Entomologiska Förening, Naturvårdsverket, Lunds universitet, Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet och Länsstyrelserna. Verksamheten möjliggörs av frivilliga
Detta är den fjortonde årsrapporten från Svensk Dagfjärilsövervakning, ett nationellt miljö-övervakningsprogram som koordineras av Lunds universitet på uppdrag av Naturvårdsverket sedan 2010.

The aim of this study was to model the impacts of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Maximum Entropy modelling was used to construct species distribution maps for P. africana to determine relative contribution, and effects of climate change on the potential geographical distribution of P. africana based on climatic sce
An LSS resident has been built, a resident with users that suffers from mental disabilities, a passive house by Karnfastigheter. In this project the technology of the passive house concept has been applied on a new area. An evaluation of the passive house Prisman 7 will show if the building works as projected. The energy values are taken from the building when it is in operational condition. The c
Response of passerine birds to an irruption of a pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa population with a shifted phenology The main purpose of the present work was to investigate if the passerine community was able to respond to it localized irruption of a temporally shifted population of the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa, the larval development of which takes place dur
1 We studied the effects of a thromboxane A2 receptor (TP receptor) antagonist, ICI-192,605 (0.5mgkg-', i.v.) and a selective thromboxane (Tx) synthetase inhibitor, OKY-046 (30mgkg-1, i.v.), on airway responses induced by leukotriene D4 (LTD4; 0.2 nmol) or prostaglandin F2a, (PGF2,; 20 nmol) instilled via the airways route to anaesthetized guinea-pigs. For a comparison, airway responses to a TxA2-
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fetma är ett världsomfattande hälsoproblem som drabbar rika och fattiga länder i samma utsträckning och leder till minskad förväntad livslängd. Detta är inte bara ett problem i sig utan för med sig ytterligare följdsjukdomar så som diabetes, hjärt- kärlsjukdomar, vissa former av cancer och artros. Det är en allmän uppfattning att den oroväckande ökningen av fetma under Obesity is one of the major health concerns that has reached epidemic proportions globally. It is generally believed to be a result of interactions between genetic and environmental factors. In this thesis we investigated the role of dietary factors in modifying the genetic susceptibility to obesity (papers I to III), studied the association between genetic susceptibility to obesity and weight gai
Objective To identify predictors of response to methotrexate (MTX) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods In the SWEFOT trial, patients with RA with symptom duration <1 year started MTX monotherapy (20 mg/weekly) and 405/487 continued until the 3-4-month visit. The primary outcome measure was the DAS28-based European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria. Multivariate logistic r
