Det övergripande syftet är att forskningsresultaten ska kunna användas för att förbättra vården för familjer med blödarsjuka (hemofili). Resultaten vThe general objective of the research underlying this dissertation was to conduct clinical and basic scientific studies to further elucidate the hemophilia and the coagulation process, with the goal of improving the care of families with these disorders. More specific aims were to evaluate epidemiological, genetic, clinical, and biochemical aspects of the development of inhibitors (antibodies) aga

The main functions of estrogen are associated with reproduction. However, estrogen has been shown to be of functional importance also in non-classic target organs. Previous studies, especially epidemiologic and clinical ones, have addressed estrogen's influence on periodontitis, suggesting that estrogen has a beneficial effect, but the biological mechanisms have not been identified. Estrogen exert

The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, po

Aim/hypothesis: Human enteroviral infections are suggested to be associated with type 1 diabetes. However, the mechanism by which enteroviruses can trigger disease remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate the impact of enterovirus on autophagy, a cellular process that regulates beta cell homeostasis, using the clonal beta cell line INS(832/13) and human islet cells as in vitro models

A total of 16 global chemistry transport models and general circulation models have participated in this study; 14 models have been evaluated with regard to their ability to reproduce the near-surface observed number concentration of aerosol particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), as well as derived cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC). Model results for the period 2011-2015 are compar

Inom ett par år kommer det nya materialforskningscentret ESS, The European Spallation Source, att stå färdigbyggt. Det kommer då vara det mest avancerade forskningsinstitutet i sitt slag och leverera upp till 30 gånger fler neutroner än någon annan neutronkälla i världen. En av de viktigaste komponenterna på ESS är det s.k. strålmålet som består av nästan 7000 bitar av det metalliska grundämnet voThe European Spallation Source (ESS), which is currently under construction in Lund, will use pure tungsten as the spallation neutron target. The tungsten will be irradiated by a 2 GeV proton beam, pulsed at a repetition rate of 14 Hz. Each pulse will deposit 357 kJ in the tungsten causing an instantaneous temperature rise of approximately 100 °C, during the 2.86 ms pulse duration. The target is w

Background: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is a major complication of preterm birth. Large haemorrhages are associated with a high risk of disability and hydrocephalus. Instability of blood pressure and cerebral blood in the newborn flow are postulated as causative factors. Another mechanism may involve reperfusion damage from oxygen free radicals. It has been suggested that phenobarbital stab

Aim: The overall aim was to investigate associations between bullying, violence and mental health among young people in Sweden. Specific aims were to investigate differences in exposure to peer victimization among disabled and non-disabled adolescents (Paper I), the influence of social support on the relationship between cyber harassment and mental distress among adolescents (Paper II), the associ

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 175 svenska fågelarter för åren 1975–2010. Fåglarna har räknats på vintern och på sommaren enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren men täcker hela Sverige. De har räknats sedan 1996. Vintern 2009/2010 räknades nästan 300 We present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2010 include data from 622 winter point count routes in 2009/2010 (35th winter), of which 281 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count and 262 summer point count routes (36th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual

Nowadays it has become relevant for scientists to understand the impact of tropical forest structure on the Global Carbon Cycle. Dynamic vegetation models have been developed to pursue this issue, specifically by improving algorithms that could analyze the allometry, biomass content and mortality rate of each singular simulated plant individual and how this responds to climate change, management aCompetition between neighbouring trees has a big impact on their growth. Trees have different strategies to deal with competing neighbours. Some grow quickly and tall, overshadowing neighbouring trees, but die young (Georges K., 2015). Others grow more slowly, but outlive the fast-growing ones and cast shade on them over a longer period. These interactions have a strong influence on the dynamics o

Protein består av byggstenar och de har flera livsviktiga funktioner i våra kroppar. Byggstenarna är tjugo olika aminosyror som kan kopplas ihop på många olika sätt. Ett protein som är mindre än 50 aminosyraenheter kallas för en peptid. Proteinveckning är en spontan process där ett protein får sin tredimensionella form, som oftast är ett biologiskt aktiv tillstånd. Proteinveckningen kan ibland gåProteins are made up by amino acids linked through peptide bonds. They carry out many important tasks in our bodies and the folding of proteins is a crucial process. The folding of proteins determines the function of it and sometimes proteins get misfolded. The misfolded protein can get degraded, refold back or form protein aggregates. These aggregating proteins are related to several diseases for

Using the most recent data from various databases we have retrieved economic and health data from OECD member countries and analyzed it in regard to the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, what we call Stringency index. We examine the effects on different economic variables such as GDP, exports, and unemployment, together with the health outcome variable excess mortality. In regard to our

Provtagning på 6 restaurerade våtmarker gav en uppskattat årlig inlagring av organisk kol på mellan 0,48 och 3,76 ton/ha. Denna ackumulation i alla restaurerade våtmarker inom Lunds kommun (147,2 ha) uppskattas vara någonstans mellan 260 och 1995 ton CO2eq. I förhållande är detta lika med 1 till 8 promille av lunds totala utsläpp i form av CO2eq. Effektiviteten för våtmarkernas kolinlagring bedömsSedimentation of organic carbon in shallow lakes and wetlands removes CO2 from the atmosphere and can be considered a natural carbon sink. Actions toward regulating restored wetlands as carbon sink would provide Lund municipality with solution to combat CO2 emission goals for the future. A field study was conducted collecting sediment samples from 6 constructed wetlands in Lund municipality, Swede
