Popular Abstract in Swedish Nästan alla träd i våra skogar lever i samspel (symbios) med svampar. Många av dessa är ”vanliga” svampar, sådana som vi är vana vid att se och plocka i naturen, (exempelvis soppar, kremlor, riskor, flugsvampar och kantareller) men det finns också de som inte bildar fruktkroppar, eller har fruktkroppar som vi inte ser. Fruktkropparna, de som kan hamna i svampkorgen, är Elevated nitrogen (N) deposition is an environmental problem that can affect plants and microorganisms, which are vital for the terrestrial N and carbon (C) cycles. This thesis has investigated the response of ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) to increased N deposition. Ectomycorrhizal fungi form mutualistic interactions with the roots of woody plants, including almost all boreal and temperate forests
Product development in the automotive industry is characterized by a high demand on short lead times and efficient use of resources. This is no different for Volvo Bus Corporation, the second largest manufacturer of buses and bus chassis in the world, whose global product development organization is under pressure to find new ways to meet an increased amount of projects along with requirements on

Commercial private equity as an investment industry have quickly grown since its formation in the late 80’s, and now account for a significant part of the investments made both globally and in Sweden. In 2014 the Swedish commercial private equity companies had a combined turnover of 311 billion SEK, accounting for around 9 % of Sweden’s GNP. The sector has been studied extensively by the investmen
The response of soil organic matter (OM) decomposition to increasing temperature is a critical aspect of ecosystem responses to global change. The impacts of climate warming on decomposition dynamics have not been resolved due to apparently contradictory results from field and lab experiments, most of which has focused on labile carbon with short turnover times. But the majority of total soil carb
The overall aim of this work was to increase our knowledge of newborn infants and their mothers, gain a better understanding of attachment and the infants' development and identify infants at risk for poorer emotional, social and cognitive development. An interdisciplinary approach was used. Six studies are included in the thesis. Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) and its relation to neurobehavioural st
Context: Immune functions seem to have connections to variations in body fat mass. Studies of knockout mice indicate that endogenous interleukin (IL)-1 can suppress mature-onset obesity. Objective: To systematically investigate our hypotheses that single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or haplotypes variants in the IL-1 gene system are associated with fat mass. Subjects: The Gothenburg osteop
The global society is dependent on transportation to function and a big part of these transports are driven by an internal combustion engine. Heavy-duty vehicles utilizes conventional diesel combustion is a combustion concept where the fuel is often ignited during the injection event and while it gives a high combustion efficiency, the combustion mode is also characterized by high emission of NOx
Periampullary adenocarcinoma, including pancreatic cancer, has a poor prognosis that has not improved in the last decades. Therefore, in order to find more effective treatment regimens, it is necessary to gain more insight into the biology and clinical behaviour of these tumours. This thesis entails a thorough histopathological characterization of retrospectively collected tumours from a consecuti
The Swedish Secretariat for futures studies was formed in 1973, on the initiative of the Social Democratic government. Initially installed as a part of the Prime Ministers’s Office, futures studies were envisioned as a vital tool for policymaking as well as for stimulating public debate. The present thesis examines the Secretariat from its beginnings up until about ten years later, when it was rel
Prefiguration refers to realizing imaginaries of a radically alternative future in the present (e.g., Yates 2015; Monticelli 2021; Schiller-Merkens 2022). It is an embodied anticipation of an alternative future, "of the not-yet reality" (Dinerstein 2022: 52), in social practices, coupled with an embodied critique of the present. Prefiguration is commonly linked to real and concrete utopia (Wright
BackgroundEarly identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging. We aimed to identify key predictors of new-onset AKI within 48 h after ICU admission and renal replacement therapy (RRT) need within 7 days, using explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) with eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). We also assessed whether XGBoost improved predictive peBACKGROUND: Early identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) remains challenging.

Introduction: Vulvar cancer may cause serious local symptoms that may impact negatively on the woman's health-related quality of life (HRQOL). However, knowledge about the prevalence of vulvar and lymphedema symptoms at diagnosis and during follow-up is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal development of vulvar and lymphedema symptoms as well as the trajectory of HRQOL i
