According to film mythology, the Soviet filmmaker Lev Kuleshov conducted an experiment in which he combined a close-up of an actor’s neutral face with three different emotional contexts: happiness, sadness, and hunger. The viewers of the three film sequences reportedly perceived the actor’s face as expressing an emotion congruent with the given context. It is not clear, however, whether or not the

Objective: To determine the importance of antibodies against phosphorylcholine (PC) and oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL) for development of atherosclerosis. Methods and results: Two hundred and twenty six individuals with established hypertension (diastolic pressure > 95 mmHg) were from European Lacidipine Study on Atherosclerosis. Antibodies of IgG and IgM subclass were tested by ELISA ag

The use of amino acids for the synthesis of novel surfactants with vesicle-forming properties potentially enhances the biocompatibility levels needed for a viable alternative to conventional lipid vesicles. In this work, the formation and characterization of catanionic vesicles by newly synthesized lysine- and serine-derived surfactants have been investigated by means of phase behavior mapping and

This thesis explores the escalating and often underestimated issue of bird-window collisions, specifically within the Swedish context, through the lens of the built environment. Globally, hundreds of millions of birds die annually from colliding with glass surfaces, with estimates reaching nearly a billion birds in North America alone. This significant threat is compounded by modern architectural

With the publication of the IPCC Special Report on Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS), CCS has emerged as a focal issue in international climate diplomacy and energy collaboration. This paper has two goals. The first goal is to map CCS activities in and among various types of intergovernmental organisations; the second goal is to apply International Relations (IR) theories to explain the gro

Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends

We find that CO ligates selectively to nitrogen tetra-coordinated Co(i) single metal atom sites at room temperature in a manganese–cobalt bi-metallic coordination network self-assembled on graphene. The bound state is metastable, determined by pressure-dependent equilibrium conditions between adsorption and desorption, with an upright, end-on bonding geometry (binding energy 0.73 eV). The ligand v

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the Western world. AMD is a multifactorial disorder but complement-mediated inflammation at the level of the retina plays a pivotal role. Oral zinc supplementation can reduce the progression of AMD but the precise mechanism of this protective effect is as yet unclear. We investigated whether zinc supplementation directly a

The plant polysaccharide degradative potential of Aspergillus nidulans was analysed in detail and compared to that of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae using a combination of bioinformatics, physiology and transcriptomics. Manual verification indicated that 28.4% of the A. nidulans ORFs analysed in this study do not contain a secretion signal, of which 40% may be secreted through a non-clas

Background: There is much interest in how the Amazon rainforest may respond to future rainfall reduction. However, there are relatively few ecosystem-scale studies to inform this debate. Aims: We described the carbon cycle in a 1 ha rainforest plot subjected to 8-10 consecutive years of ca. 50% through-fall reduction (TFR) and compare these results with those from a nearby, unmodified control plot
