Aims/hypothesis Thus far, it is unclear whether lifestyle recommendations for people with diabetes should be different from those for the general public. We investigated whether the associations between lifestyle factors and mortality risk differ between individuals with and without diabetes. Methods Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), a cohort was forme
The sequence differences within the 16S rRNA genes of Lactobacillus casei/paracasei and related species, Lactobacillus zeae and Lactobacillus rhamnosus, were investigated. Thirty-seven strains of mostly human or cheese origin were grouped by restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) of the total chromosomal DNA and by temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA
Detta examensarbete ger ett förslag på en ny järnvägsstation i Kirunas nya centrum. I Kiruna pågår just nu en stadsomvandling, där en tredjedel av staden flyttas tre kilometer österut på grund av markdeformationer från Kirunagruvan. Detta innebär stora förändringar för Kirunaborna men även stora förändringar i stadsbilden, då majoriteten av centrum har eller kommer rivas och byggas upp igen i nya This thesis gives a suggestion for a new railway station in the new city center of Kiruna, Sweden. Kiruna is now experiencing an urban transformation, where one third of the population and the city moves three kilometers to the east due to ground deformations coming from the Kiruna iron ore mine. This leads to huge changes for Kiruna’s population, but also huge changes in the cityscape, since most
Physiological changes due to aging are intensively studied as they have far-reaching implications for the mechanistic and evolutionary theories of senescence. In this respect, metabolic rate has been suggested to play a role for the deterioration and damage of cells and tissues with age, partly due to the generation of reactive oxygen species. To mitigate such damage, individuals can be predicted
Evacuation models can adopt different approaches for the simulation of human behaviour in fire. This paper provides an overview of the most commonly used modelling methods to represent the evacuation process in a fire scenario. This is presented through a structure matching the engineering time-line model of evacuation. The evacuation model development process is discussed considering both data-dr
Stereo rendering for 3D displays and for virtual reality headsets provide several visual cues, including convergence angle and high- light disparity. The human visual system interprets these cues to estimate surface properties of the displayed environment. Naïve stereo rendering effectively doubles the computational burden of image synthesis, and thus it is desirable to reuse as many computa- tion
In a rapidly evolving research field, it is crucial to understand the impact of nanomaterials on human health and the environment. The overall objective is to increase our understanding of the fundamental connections between particle properties and human and environmental toxicology, as well as of emissions and exposure in all stages of the lifecycle of a nanomaterial. The research aims at providi

BCI Research at Lund University BCI@LU is the research group at Lund University focusing on understanding the brain when it comes to Passive, Active and Reactive Brain-Computer Interfaces. The human brain is complex, and to succeed in understanding it we need to approach it interdisciplinary. The group consists of ~15 Professors, Post-Docs and PhD students from the Department of Automatic Control,

BACKGROUND: Treatment of newly diagnosed advanced-stage ovarian cancer typically involves cytoreductive surgery and systemic chemotherapy. We conducted a trial to investigate whether the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to interval cytoreductive surgery would improve outcomes among patients who were receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for stage III epithelial ovarian ca
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Glioma stem like cells (GSC) represent the highest cellular hierarchy in GBM and have a determining role in tumor growth, recurrence and patient prognosis. However, a better definition of GSC subpopulations, especially at the surgical resection margin, is warranted for improved oncological treatment options. T
The phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is a complex process involving numerous interactions between the target cell and the macrophage. We have examined a role of the major soluble inhibitor of the classic and lectin complement pathways, C4b-binding protein (C4BP), in the clearance of apoptotic cells. The major form of C4BP present in blood is composed of seven alpha-chains and one beta-chain, which
PURPOSE: In this population-based study, risk factors for primary intracerebral hemorrhage (PICH) and PICH subtypes were explored in a nested case-control design.METHOD: Risk factors were determined in 22,444 men and 10,902 women (mean age 47 years) who participated in a health-screening programme between 1974 and 1991. 147 subjects with CT or autopsy-verified first-ever PICH during the follow-up
För att uppnå Parisavtalets klimatmål att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till under 2 grader, samt sträva efter att begränsa ökningen till under 1,5 grader Celsius, krävs en omställning till klimatmässiga och hållbara finansieringar med låga utsläpp. En finansieringsform som har pekats ut för att så långt som möjligt uppnå Parisavtalet och klara omställningen att förflytta kapital mot mer hållIn order to achieve the Paris Agreement’s climate goals, to limit global warming to well below 2 °C, and to pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius, a transition from carbon-intensive to low-emission investments is needed. Green bonds have been identified as an important instrument to achieve the transition since green bonds can provide a long-term debt capital to low-emission projects b
