Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: De kvartära landskapsformerna i södra Sverige skapades till stor del under och i samband med avsmältningen av den senaste inlandesisen. Skåne blev isfritt för ca 13 000 år sedan med en isavsmältning i nordvästar Skåne mot NO. I samband med denna avsmältning skapades ett småkuperat moränlandskap, plana slätter, mindre kullar och åsar. Åsarna har bildats av materiThe purpose with this study is to identify and examine heterogeneities within the ground, which is important for the groundwater flow on a more local scale. Investigation of the geology within an area is normally done through observations in field, combined with studies of geological maps and documented drillings. Depending on drilling methods, varying results are obtained but often with a good re

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Särö Västerskog och Särö Nordanskog i norra Halland utgör de mest värdefulla och artrikaste skogsbestånden längs hela västkusten. De är klassade som riksintresse för naturvården. Den biologiska mångfalden är mycket stor och i skogarna förekommer många sällsynta och rödlistade arter. Som exempel kan nämnas den sällsynta idegranen (Taxus baccata). Särö täcks av reThe aim of this study was to make a pollenanalytical investigation of mor humus-profiles from the peninsula of Särö in northern Halland. The coastal forests are well preserved in this area and often hold a very interesting flora and fauna with many red-listed species. One can for example mention the rare species yew (Taxus baccata). The forests contain a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees l

Sammanfattning: Arbetets syfte var att göra en utvecklingshistorisk tolkning av området kring Örseryd, mellersta Blekinge. Ett 2000 x 600 m stort område ytkarterades, varefter olika enheter definierades och korrelerades med tidigare undersökningar utförda i Blekinge. Arbetet koncentrerades sedan till torvmarksområden påträffade under ytkarteringen. Tre torvmarksområden kan urskiljas inom undersökn

Summary: Manama Mission is a Lutheran mission station in the Gwanda District, Zimbabwe, that suffers from a shortage in water supply. Its only source of water at present is a sand dam in the nearby Tuli river. During June, July and August 1990 a ground water study was carried out at the mission. This was done by Patrich Holmström, Per Möller and Mats Svensson, students at University of Lund, Swede

Decision-makers and managers spend substantial amounts of funding everyday on various interventions aimed at management of the large carnivores, for example different measures to mitigate depredation on livestock, e.g., removal of carnivores and fencing of livestock (see Linnell et al. 1996 for an extensive review). Management of species that occur in low numbers is challenging as relatively small

Background: An increased knowledge of predictors that might affect survival in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients treated with cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) is important for clinicians and for the health services. Impairment in activities of daily living (ADL), somatic diseases, and psychiatric symptoms may influence mortality in AD. We aimed to study the impact of functional capacity and conco

Human appreciation of nature and natural elements is ubiquitous. The role of emotions in human relationships with nature has received increasing attention within environmental psychology, for example by employing constructs such as affinity with nature. Also, researchers are recognizing the importance of studying emotions for understanding human-wildlife interactions (Jacobs, 2009; Johansson &

The unclear link between intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) could depend on genetic differences between individuals. Minor alleles of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ∆5 fatty acid desaturase (FADS) 1 gene were associated with lower blood concentrations of long-chain ω-3 (n-3) and ω-6 (n-6) PUFAs, indicating an associated loss of fun

Limited epidemiological evidence suggests a protective role for plant foods rich in flavonoids and antioxidants in hepatocellular cancer (HCC) etiology. Our aim was to prospectively investigate the association between dietary intake of flavonoids, lignans and nonenzymatic antioxidant capacity (NEAC) and HCC risk. Data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) coh

Dementia is the most common cause of functional decline among elderly people and is associated with high costs of national healthcare in European countries. With increasing functional and cognitive decline, it is likely that many people suffering from dementia will receive institutional care in their lifetime. To delay entry to institutional care, many European countries invest in home and communi

Background & aims: Alcohol consumption has been inversely associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its influence on autoimmune diabetes is unclear. We investigated the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and T2D in relation to alcohol intake and assessed if potential associations were modified by genetic susceptibility to diabetes. Methods: We used data from a case–control st

ImportanceThe management of complications following oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) surgery can be challenging. Previous studies show conflicting results on complication risks after preoperative radiotherapy (RT), necessitating a randomized controlled trial (RCT).ObjectiveTo compare early complications during hospitalization for OCSCC surgery between patients receiving preoperative acc

Introduction. Cellfion is a company developing PFAS-free membranes based on chemically functionalized nanocellulose. The membranes are highly tuneable and exhibit favourable properties such as high selectivity, low resistance and low swelling. Cellfion’s membranes have shown potential for use in different applications such as electrodialysis, fuel cells, electrolyzers, humidification syste

How Do We Treat the Super-Elderly with Distal Radius Fractures and What is the Outcome? A Register Study in 239 Patients of 80 years or olderLinnea Sara Arvidsson, MD; Ellen Lööf, Bachelor of Medicine; Antonio Abramo, PhD; Magnus Tägil, PhDLund University, Lund, SwedenIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. BasiIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. Basic knowledge of outcome after fracture in this heterogenic group is absent. Our aim was to use our prospective distal radius fracture register to study the super-elderly patients with distal radius fractures. We hypothesized that the health status of the patient, rather
