The Paris agreement identifies the importance of the conservation, or better, increase of the land carbon sink. In this respect, the mitigation policies of many forest rich countries rely heavily on products from forests as well as on the land sink. Here we demonstrate that Sweden’s land sink, which is critical in order to achieve zero net emissions by 2045 and negative emissions thereafter, is re
Suicide in children and young adults is a leading cause of premature mortality, and there is a need to develop a more profound understanding of the factors that contribute to these deaths. This study is part of the nationwide Retrospective Investigation of Health Care Utilization in Individuals who died by Suicide in Sweden 2015, conducted at Lund University, Sweden. The aim was to examine symptom
Introduction: Complicated perianal disease (cPD) may be the sole presentation of Crohn’s disease (CD). The role of small-bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in the diagnostic algorithm of cPD is unclear. We aimed to evaluate the role of SBCE as a diagnostic tool, in patients with cPD, after a negative standard workup for CD. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective, cross-sectional study, in patients with
Occupancy is one of the primary contributors to the energy performance gap, defined as the difference between actual and predicted energy usage, in buildings. This paper limits its scope to residential buildings, where occupant-centric consumption often goes unaccounted for in standard energy metrics. This paper starts from the hypothesis that a simple occupant energy efficiency label is needed to
Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen har ett välgrundat rykte för sina omfattande forskningsprogram med tonvikt på långsiktiga processer, baserad på ekonomisk teori och med kvantitativa metoder som viktiga verktyg.

Institutionens forskare genererar årligen en imponerande mängd internationell publicering och är mycket framgångsrThe Department of Economic History has a well-established reputation for wide-ranging research programmes with an emphasis on long-term processes, based on economic theory and quantitative methods as important tools. The research topics are oriented towards issues of high relevance for society. The Department has an acknowledged international publication record and is very successful at attracting
Our aim is to be a leading center of excellence within the field of national and international public health and to promote high quality research, education, and applied knowledge. The primary areas of research are sexual and reproductive health and rights, maternal and child health, youth health, social capital, health policy, marginalized populations, mental health, violence, substance abuse, ri
This study aims to evaluate whisky as an investment through two research questions: “What affects the value of whisky?” and “Should whisky be included in the optimal portfolio?”. The value of whisky is examined by constructing a hedonic regression using five hedonic attributes. Also, the convenience yield associated with whisky is examined. Secondly, the performance of whisky is evaluated by using
Understanding the molecular mechanisms leading to retinal development is of great interest for both basic scientific and clinical applications. Several signaling molecules and transcription factors involved in retinal development have been isolated and analyzed; however, determining the direct impact of the loss of a specific molecule is problematic, due to difficulties in identifying the correspo
In this volume of “Lecture Notes in Intelligent Transportation and Infrastructure”, the proceedings of the International Conference “Vision Zero for Sustainable Road Safety in Baltic Sea Region”, which took place in Vilnius, Lithuania, from 5 to 6 December 2018, are presented. The mission of the conference was to promote a more comprehensive approach supporting new ideas, technologies, theories, i

The tumor suppressor PTEN antagonizes phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which contributes to tumorigenesis in many cancer types. While PTEN mutations occur in some melanomas, their precise mechanistic consequences have yet to be elucidated. We sought to identify novel downstream effectors of PI3K using a combination of genomic and functional tests. Microarray analysis of 53 melanoma cell lines
IMPORTANCE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, portends higher risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is associated with quantifiable impairment in quality of life. While physical activity is widely recognized for its cardiovascular benefits, recent evidence challenges its role in the development of AF. OBSERVATIONS: Emerging data suggest a U-shaped rel
Background: The neural transcription factor SOX11 has been described as a prognostic marker in epithelial ovarian cancers (EOC), however its role in individual histological subtypes and tumour grade requires further clarification. Furthermore, methylation-dependent silencing of SOX11 has been reported for B cell lymphomas and indicates that epigenetic drugs may be used to re-express this tumour su
The transition toward sustainable energy systems has motivated extensive research into scalable routes for solar fuel generation. Silicon-based photoelectrodes are particularly promising due to their favorable optoelectronic properties, abundance, and compatibility with established microfabrication techniques. Nano-microstructuring silicon can enhance photoelectrochemical performance by improving
A novel detection algorithm with an efficient VLSI architecture featuring efficient operation over infinite complex lattices is proposed. The proposed design results in the highest throughput, the lowest latency, and the lowest energy compared to the complex-domain VLSI implementations to date. The main innovations are a novel complex-domain means of expanding/visiting the intermediate nodes of th
