In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the a

Fourteen tree-ring chronologies developed from 788 peatland Scots pines sampled at sites in Estonia, Belarus and Sweden were compared for common growth trends and possible links to regional climate dynamics. Several synchronous growth release events were detected, especially during the 1910s, 1930s, and around 1970 and 1990, indicating that hydrological shifts and associated tree growth responses

There are many projects in Mozambique for poverty reduction. One of these projects is funded by Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) and is aimed to install a total of 600 rural water points in the provinces of Nampula and Cabo Delgado. Each water point consists of a drilled well, a water pump and a communal washing basin. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was used for assessing the uitability of

The latent heat flux (LE) between the terrestrial biosphere and atmosphere is a major driver of the global hydrological cycle. In this study, we evaluated LE simulations by 45 general circulation models (GCMs) in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) by a comparison with eddy covariance (EC) observations from 240 globally distributed sites from 2000 to 2009. In addition, we imp

Many modern office buildings have highly glazed facades. Their energy efficiency and indoor climate is, however, being questioned. Therefore more and more of these buildings are being built with double skin facades, which can provide improvements: a thermal buffer zone, energy savings, wind protection with open windows, fire protection, aesthetics, solar preheating of ventilation air, sound protec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjocktarm och ändtarm (colorektal cancer) är en av de vanligaste cancerformerna i västvärlden. Årligen insjuknar drygt 5 000 människor i Sverige i denna sjukdom, och ungefär hälften av dessa dör till följd av sin cancer. De som avlider i colorektal cancer har i de allra flesta fall spridning av tumören till andra organ (metastasering). Levern är den vanligaste Liver is the most common site of dissemination in colorectal cancer, and untreated liver metastases are associated with a poor prognosis. The main reason for trying to detect liver metastases early is that liver resection offers a chance for cure in selected patients. The sensitivity of alkaline phosphatases (ALP), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), computed tomography (CT), CT with arterial contrast

Dricksvatten är vårt viktigaste livsmedel och att vattnet vi får ur kranen är rent ser vi som en självklarhet. I Sverige är tillgången på rent grundvatten god tack vare rådande klimat och andra förutsättningar i naturen, men en stor mängd föroreningar och gifter som sprids i miljön riskerar att förorena grundvattnet. Dessa miljöbovar kan förekomma naturligt, till exempel i berggrunden, eller ha siWater is one of our most valuable resources and polluted water is possibly harmful to both humans and the environment. It is hence of great importance to maintain high quality in drinking water to protect human health. A large number of different contaminants and toxins spread in the environment have the potential to contaminate groundwater. One of these pollutants is arsenic originating from ammu

Detaljerad genetisk analys av enskilda blodcancerceller Med hjälp av en nyutvecklad teknik, kallad singel-cell sekvensering, är det numera möjligt att karakterisera en enskild cell i ett prov bestående av tusentals celler och i detalj undersöka dess genetiska information. I denna studie utnyttjas tekniken för att studera celler i ett benmärgsprov från en patient som insjuknat i blodcancersjukdomAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by sequential accumulation of mutations in the genome of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) or myeloid precursors, giving rise to formation of leukemia stem cells (LSC). More than 200 recurrent mutations have been described, although each patient will carry a small subset of these. The mutations are used as a basis for classificati

År 2018 ändrades reglerna för förmånsbeskattning av privatfinansierad vård som arbetsgivare betalar åt sina anställda. Tidigare var sådan vårdförmån inte skattepliktig för den anställde och icke avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren, men värdet ska nu tas upp till beskattning i inkomstslaget tjänst och istället är kostnaden avdragsgill för arbetsgivaren. Ett huvudsakligt argument för arbetsgivare att stå In 2018, the rules on taxation of private health care and health care insurances that employers pay to their employees were changed. Previously, such care was not to be taxed for the employee and non-deductible for the employer. The value of such service must now be included for taxation for the employee and is instead deductible for the employer. A major argument for employers to bear these costs

"Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether inversely planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), using the clinical radiotherapy equipment at hand in our department, renders any advantages regarding dose distribution over conventional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients in the ARTSCAN (Accelerated RadioTherapy of Squamous cell Carcinoma in the head And Nec

Att utveckla ett nytt läkemedel tar lång tid och kostar mycket pengar. - Forskarna behöver hjälp med att komma åt den kompetens som behövs för att utveckla läkemedel, och det kan sådana som jag hjälpa till med, säger Lars Hedbys, med lång erfarenhet från industrin. Vad tänker han om samarbetet mellan industri och akademi? Vem är han? Möt mannen som nu tar över ansvaret för att sätta upp en struktu

Serine hydroxymethyltransferase (SHMT) is the major source of 1-carbon units required for nucleotide synthesis. Humans have cytosolic (SHMT1) and mitochondrial (SHMT2) isoforms, which are upregulated in numerous cancers, making the enzyme an attractive drug target. Here, we show that the antifolates lometrexol and pemetrexed are inhibitors of SHMT2 and solve the first SHMT2-antifolate structures.
