Background & Aims: The I148M variant in PNPLA3 is the major genetic risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The liver is enriched with polyunsaturated triglycerides (PUFA-TGs) in PNPLA3-I148M carriers. Gene expression data indicate that PNPLA3 is liver-specific in humans, but whether it functions in adipose tissue (AT) is unknown. We investigated whether PNPLA3-I148M modifie
Plant carbon (C) partitioning—the relative use of photosynthates for biomass production, respiration, and other plant functions—is a key but poorly understood ecosystem process. In an experiment with Zea mays, with or without arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), we investigated the effect of phosphorus (P) fertilization and AMF on plant C partitioning. Based on earlier studies, we expected C partit
Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a slowly progressive disease, often transmitted among people who inject drugs (PWID). Mortality in PWID is high, with an overrepresentation of drug-related causes. This study investigated the risk of death in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with or without illicit substance use disorder (ISUD). Methods: Patients with HCV were identified usin
We present a software package, Modes, offering h-adaptive and p-adaptive linear multistep methods for first order initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. The implementation is based on a new parametric, grid-independent representation of multistep methods [Arévalo and Söderlind 2017]. Parameters are supplied for over 60 methods. For nonstiff problems, all maximal order methods (
In 2011, a monument commemorating a group of Polish academics killed during the Nazi occupation was unveiled at the site of their death in Lviv, presently a Ukrainian city. This event became the pinnacle of a commemoration that had developed quite autonomously on both sides of the redrawn Polish-(Soviet)Ukrainian border. The commemorative project and memory event underpinning it are especially int
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avsaltning av havsvatten utgör en viktig källa för vattenförsörjning till befolkningen som bor vid Persiska viken, Medelhavet och Röda havet. De tre regionerna utgör ca 11,8 % av världens landyta och hade omkring 9 % av världens befolkning under 1950 och 2008, samt lika mycket enligt prognos för år 2050. Dessa områden är hemvist för 62 %, 58% och 60% av världens avsaltnIn this M.Sc. Thesis of a comparison for sewerage system of the three main municipalities of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (T R N C) has been studied and discussed. The study covers the future population calculations for three municipalities, Nicosia, Famagusta and Kyrenia, by means of Turkish and European standards. The comparisons for sewerage system of the three municipalities are compare
Groundwater resources have come under increasing pressure from overuse and pollution leading to declines in both quantity and quality. As a renewable resource, the continued availability of sufficient and clean groundwater depends on its sustainable use. However, groundwater use has often been unsustainable, and in many countries-both developing and developed-legal and policy frameworks for its su
The interaction of extreme ultraviolet light with matter can lead to the emission of an electron in a process known as photoionization. The electron wavepacket (EWP) created in the continuum propagates on the ionic potential, resulting in a delay compared to an EWP propagating freely. The development of extreme ultraviolet attosecond light sources in recent years has opened the possibility to prob
Introduction: Occupational health and safety management systems are widely used as a systematic approach to managing occupational health and safety. However, sometimes they are restrictive and underspecified to deal with dynamic workplace demands. Rasmussen used a model of boundaries to conceptualize this dynamic model of safety, where the space of possibilities lay within 3 boundaries and workers
Aims/Objective: The development of type 2 diabetes is a result of insulin resistance in various tissues, including skeletal muscle and liver. Apolipoprotein M (ApoM) plays an important role in the function of high-density lipoprotein, and also affects hepatic lipid and glucose metabolism. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ApoM overexpression modulates glucose metabolism and improves i
Over the course of the past decade, the political economy of global ocean space has entered into a process of significant transformation. In this context, multilateral, corporate and financial attention dedicated to so-called ‘blue growth’ and ‘blue economy’ schemes has been extraordinary; consequentially spawning critical inquiries into the origins and motives behind these initiatives. Offering d
Importance: The diagnostic performance of second-generation tau positron emission tomographic (PET) tracers is not yet known. Objective: To examine the novel tau PET tracer RO948 F 18 ([18F]RO948) performance in discriminating Alzheimer disease (AD) from non-AD neurodegenerative disorders. Design, Setting, and Participants: In this diagnostic study, 613 participants in the Swedish BioFINDER-2 stud
In Sweden the responsibility for environmental damage when emergency responders are called to an incident is increasingly focussing on the responders. The problem is that most incident response personnel do not have the training and expertise to assess the environmental consequences of their suppression operations. The Fire Impact Tool was developed for training responders about how fire effluents
Aims: Hypertension is the leading cause for the development of heart failure (HF). Here, we aimed to identify cardiomyocyte stretch-induced circulating biomarkers for predicting hypertension-associated HF. Methods and results: Circulating levels of 149 proteins were measured by proximity extension assay at baseline examination in 4742 individuals from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study. Protein level
The majority of municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) in Sweden produce biogas from sewage sludge. In order to increase the methane production, co-digestion of internal sludge with Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW) might be feasible in the future. The objective of this study was therefore to find a beneficial solution for the utilization of OFMSW at the WWTP in Varberg, Swe
Sofi Qvarnström var lektor i retorik vid Lunds universitet. Hon avled i augusti 2018. Hon var en person som berörde många, både som akademiker och som medmänniska. Berättelser, retorik och medier samlar elva texter skrivna av vänner och kollegor till Sofi. Texterna tar sina utgångspunkter i hennes forskningsintressen, hennes lärargärning och i de existentiella frågor som väcks i samband med att en
Background: Omission of breakfast results in higher glucose and lower insulin and incretin hormone levels after both lunch and dinner. Whether omission of lunch has a similar impact on the following meal is not known. Aim: This study therefore explored whether omission of lunch ingestion affects glucose, islet and incretin hormones after dinner ingestion in healthy subjects. Materials & Method
Tommy Bruhn undersöker skogen som topik i samtida norrländsk populärmusik. Han visar upp en kontinuitet i norrlandsskildringarna över tid och genregränser, hur skogen symboliskt anknyts starkt till hemmet, och hur aspekter av skogen och musikdräkten fångar särskilda känslor som anknyts till en norrländsk identitet.
