The term “intracellular complement” has been introduced recently as an umbrella term to distinguish functions of complement proteins that take place intracellularly, rather than in the extracellular environment. However, this rather undefined term leaves some confusion as to the classification of what intracellular complement really is, and as to which intracellular compartment(s) it should refer
Importance: The nature of the genetic relationship between major depression and bipolar disorder remains unclear and might be clarified by considering disorders outside of the mood spectrum. Objective: To better understand the relationship between genetic liabilities for major depression (MD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Design, Setting, and Participants: A cohort study was conducted with data for i
Neoliberal and conservative actors, financed by the fossil fuel industry, have been identified as crucial parts of a climate change denialist counter movement since at least the 1980s. We claim that this intersection stems from more than just vested interest fuelling advocacy groups. By focusing on the intellectual developments and social networks of core actors in the environmental debate in Swed
How people wake up and regain alertness in the hours after sleep is related to how they are sleeping, eating, and exercising. Here, in a prospective longitudinal study of 833 twins and genetically unrelated adults, we demonstrate that how effectively an individual awakens in the hours following sleep is not associated with their genetics, but instead, four independent factors: sleep quantity/quali
Bomb pulse refers to the sharp increase of the atmospheric levels of the carbon isotope 14C due to nuclear testing during the late 1950s and early 1960s. After the nuclear test ban, atmospheric 14C levels decreased exponentially because of the diffusion and equilibration with the ocean and biosphere, as well as the incorporation indirectly into all living cells. Thus, assessing the anthropogeni
Compared to intensive research on km-sized meteorite impact craters, fewer studies focus on smaller craters. The small craters are often hard or impossible to recognize using “classical” criteria like the presence of shatter cones, shocked quartz, and geochemical indicators. Therefore, a long list of candidate structures awaiting approval/disapproval of their origin has been formed over the last d
Recent research has revealed that interdisciplinary work combining archaeological and heritage practice continues to be limited by enduring assumptions separating the two fields. Traditional structures and institutional barriers make it difficult to break away from what is expected in order to explore what is possible in what archaeologists and heritage practitioners ‘do’. Though archaeologists pl
This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as ‘subject-oriented prose’ or ‘professional communication’. The authors examine the written text’s capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in t
In medieval Scandinavia, parchment was a crucial writing material for everything from property deeds and judicial matters to religious works and account keeping. As society became more and more invested in literacy, the demand for parchment grew. However, the supply of animals for parchment could not increase to the same extent without great changes in animal husbandry. This thesis explores how me
Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. While early identification and treatment of major cardiovascular risk factors are crucial, recent data suggest the possibility of non-invasively detecting early stages of coronary atherosclerosis and potentially stabilizing or even reversing the burden of atherosclerosis with innovative and existing treatments. Moreover,
Den omvälvande förändring som banade väg för det som kommit att kallas kunskapsekonomin har lett till en omfattande avindustrialisering av de regionala ekonomierna. Den har omformat grundvalarna för de lokala arbetsmarknaderna och förändrat riktningen i den regionala ojämna utvecklingen och löneskillnaderna. Mycket av den akademiska debatten har dock antingen grundats i nationella studier av lönesThe transformational change that ushered in what became known as the knowledge economy has led to widespread deindustrialisation of regional economies. It has reshaped the foundations of local labour markets and shifted the momentum of regional uneven development and wage inequalities. Much of the academic debate, however, has either been grounded in national-level studies of wage disparities or f
In the summer of 2022, Iury started an exchange of handwritten letters with her then supervisor Adriana Schneider Alcure and with PhD candidate Ian Calvet, both artist researchers basedat the Theatre Department of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The written letters were an attempt to connect personal, socio-political and artistic experiences and scholarship produced in the Global
Unsatisfactory indoor air quality (IAQ) may be due to the spread of chemical or biological compounds from building into the indoor air. One way to avoid the problem is to attach an emissions barrier indoors onto the surfaces from which the emissions are being spread (floor, walls, ceiling). Here we report on the use of the surface emissions trap (cTrap), an emissions barrier developed at Lund Univ
