This chapter offers a reflection on the value of dialogue across media industries and academia in enhancing understanding of audience engagement and disengagement with media. The basis for this reflection is an industry-academic collaborative project between Lund University and Endemol Shine. The Media Experiences project conducted production and audience research on a range of drama and reality e

The rapid expansion of oil palm is a major driver of deforestation and other associated damage to the climate and ecosystem in tropical regions, especially Southeast Asia. It is therefore necessary to precisely detect and monitor oil palm plantations to safeguard the ecosystem services and biodiversity of tropical forests. Compared with optical data, which are vulnerable to cloud cover, the Sentin

Early and correct diagnosis of inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) poses a clinical challenge due to the multifaceted nature of symptoms, which also may change over time. The aim of this study was to perform protein expression profiling of four systemic IRDs, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis (SV), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and

Background: The relation between obesity, blood pressure (BP) and bladder cancer (BC) risk and mortality remains unclear, partially due to potential confounding by smoking, the strongest risk factor for BC, and not accounting for tumor stage and grade in such studies. We investigated body mass index (BMI) and BP in relation to BC risk by stage and grade, and BC-specific mortality, including separa

Cross-reactivities among tumor-associated antigens of rat mammary fibroadenomas and among these fribroadenomas and a rat mammary carcinoma were investigated by in vitro techniques. Lymphocytes from five female W/Fu rats bearing mammary fibroadenomas were found to share a common reactivity against fibroadenoma target cells, as demonstrated by lymphocyte cytotoxicity tests on iododeoxyuridine-l25I-l

Objective: We describe an Iraqi family with two recessive movement disorders, leukoencephalopathy with ataxia caused by CLCN2 mutations (LKPAT) and autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia 56 (SPG56) caused by mutations in CYP2U1. Methods: Members of an Iraqi family underwent structured interviews and neurological examination. Neuroimaging and whole exome sequencing were performed, and medical recor

Lymphocytes from five non‐tumor‐bearing male W/Fu rats infected with human adenovirus type‐9 as newborns or as adults share a common reactivity against rat mammary fibroadenoma target cells and rat mammary carcinoma target cells, as demonstrated by microcytotoxicity tests. Mammary fibroadenomas were induced by adenovirus type‐9 infection of newborn female W/Fu rats, littermates of three of the mal

The simulation model which examines the dynamic behavior of real structures needs to address the impact of uncertainty in both geometry and material parameters. This article investigates three-dimensional finite element models for structural dynamics problems with respect to both model and parameter uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are determined via laboratory measurements on several be

Introduction: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides detailed information about glucose level fluctuations over time. The method is increasingly being used in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. However, only one previous study compared CGM results related to pregnancy outcomes in women using insulin pumps with those administering multiple daily injections (MDI). We performed a secondary an

Periodic structures are known to produce passbands and stopbands for propagation of vibration energy within the frequency domain. Sources vibrating harmonically at a frequency within a passband can lead to propagation of energy through propagating modes over long distances. However, sources vibrating at a frequency within a stopband excite only nearfields in the form of attenuating and evanescent

Ground vibration generated by rail and road traffic is a major source of environmental noise and vibration pollution in the low-frequency range. A promising and cost effective mitigation method can be the use of heavy masses placed as an array on the ground surface near the road or track (e.g. concrete or stone blocks, specially designed brick walls, etc.). This work concerns the effectiveness of

Age-related neurodegenerative diseases are a growing burden to society, and many are sporadic, meaning that the environment, diet and lifestyle play significant roles. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-mediated clearing of brain waste products via perivascular pathways, named the glymphatic system, is receiving increasing interest, as it offers unexplored perspectives on understanding neurodegenerative di

Lorcaserin, which is a selective agonist of serotonin2C receptors (5-HT2CRs), is a new FDA-approved anti-obesity drug that has also shown therapeutic promise in other brain disorders, such as addiction and epilepsy. The modulation of dopaminergic function might be critical in the therapeutic effect of lorcaserin, but its exact effect is unknown. Here, we studied the effect of the peripheral admini

The moisture-dependency of the fracture energy for unmodified and acetylated Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and birch (Betula pendula Roth) has been investigated. Specimens were conditioned at relative humidity levels of 20, 75, and 97%, as well as dry and water-saturated. At moisture contents below 15%, the fracture energy increased with increasing moisture content for both unmodified and acety

The paper contributes to debates on dark phases of regional industry path development processes. We focus on the role of industry legitimacy and study legitimacy spillovers from contextual structures in the case of the biogas industry in Scania, Sweden. Previously presented as a success case, we show how legitimacy spillovers from various contextual structures influenced the path development proce
