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

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.

Both the antibody affinity and the detectability of the label are essential in deciding the final characteristics of a heterogeneous immunoassay. This paper describes an approach to obtain a supplementary enhancement of the signal generated by using an enzyme label, e.g., by including the product of the enzymatic reaction in an additional amplification cycle during the detection step performed wit

The effects of input data uncertainty on the critical loads and exceedance estimates for Swedish forest soils was assessed using Monte Carlo simulations of the PROFILE model. The study focuses on the effects of data uncertainty on the 5%-ile critical load at 150 × 150 km resolution and the 95%-ile exceedance at 150 × 150 km and 50 × 50 km resolution. The results indicate that data uncertainty limi

This study compares the performance of different models used to assess the local wind near-surface conditions at an agricultural site in Scania, southern Sweden. The methods are: (a) the WASP model (Wind Analysis and Application Program), (b) separate linear regressions of the two wind vector components, (c) a regression model based on vector correlation, and (d) linear regression of scalar wind.

Pentaklorfenol (PCP) är en klorerad aromatisk förening som användes flitigt för att behandla trä mot mikrobiell nedbrytning innan den blev förbjuden på 70-talet. På grund av dess höga löslighet förekommer PCP som en grundvattenförorening kring äldre sågverk. Hjortsberga i södra Sverige är ett exempel på denna typ av förorening och är det område som undersöks i arbetet. Förorenat grundvatten spridsPentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that was commonly used for treatment of wood against microbial degradation before it got banned in the 1970s. Due to its solubility in water, PCP is a common groundwater contaminant around old sawmills, for example near Hjortsberga in southern Sweden where this study was performed.. The contaminated groundwater is spreading and leaking int

I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r

Decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in permafrost terrain and the production of greenhouse gases is a key factor for understanding climate change-carbon feedbacks. Previous studies have shown that SOM decomposition is mostly controlled by soil temperature, soil moisture, and carbon-nitrogen ratio (C:N). However, focus has generally been on site-specific processes and little is known about v

The carbon cycle of the terrestrial biosphere plays a vital role in controlling the global carbon balance and, consequently, climate change. Reliably modeled CO2 fluxes between the terrestrial biosphere and the atmosphere are necessary in projections of policy strategies aiming at constraining carbon emissions and of future climate change. In this study, SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) L3
