Climate change is progressively advancing, and is affecting the entire globe, with some areas more vulnerable than others. Among them, the sub-Saharan Africa, with a very low adaptive capacity, mainly relies on one economic sector: agriculture. Due to its high climate-dependency, agriculture is at elevated risk. Among the different staple crops produced in the sub-Saharan Africa, maize is the mo
Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, represent a significant global health issue. Symptoms are commonly treated through inhalation therapy, enabling the delivery of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) directly to the lungs. Pulmonary drug delivery offers several advantages, including reduced risk of systemic side effects and a minimally invasive route of administration. Dry-powder
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the potential of transmitting data symbols alongside permuted copies in a repetition coding-like scheme, called the permutation scheme. First exhaustive search is conducted for small constellation sizes to identify possible patterns. The next step was identifying local search methods for permutations, and other methods for longer chains of permutations

Microscale acoustofluidics utilizes ultrasound to manipulate microparticles flowing through a microchannel. Using this technique, particles or cells can be e.g. separated, aligned, washed or trapped. It is however an emerging technology that should be further developed in order to maximally capitalize on its potential. One possible improvement is to increase the particle migration velocity by incr
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a common condition in patients with end-stage renal disease and is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Despite improved medical treatment, parathyroidectomy (PTX) is still necessary for many patients on renal replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of PTX on patient survival.

The influence of pH, KCl and temperature on the performance of an Alfa Laval NFT-50 nanofiltration membrane was evaluated by glucose and KCl retention measurements at constant flux. It was found that at constant temperature an increase in pH in the absence of KCl reduced the water permeability, and this was correlated to the electroviscous effect. The selectivity decreased with increasing KCl conc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Omgivningens temperatur är kanske en av de faktorer som i allra störst utsträckning påverkar djur och deras livsmiljö. Detta bottnar givetvis till stor del i temperaturens effekt på naturen. Betänk till exempel årstidsväxlingarna; att vintern blir till vår, och att hösten (i samband med de första snöfallen) allt mer skrider mot ännu en kall och vit vinter bestäms och reTemperature is a property of profound matter in all aspects of animal life, affecting both individual energy budgets and the environments in which animals reside. Thus, a proper understanding of the effects of temperature variation is instrumental in understanding not only animal form and function, but also the structure and dynamics of wild populations. Accordingly, the aims of this thesis were t
The MBA case method of how to use cases steam from Harvard and has almost become a norm for what the case method represents concerning the purpose, form and content. However, the Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) way of using cases differs from the MBA Case Method in several important aspects. This paper discusses the potential merits of using an alternative approach (LUSE
Friction may be a major obstacle for stability and control performance. Based on a nominal control law, which stabilizes a nonlinear dynamical system to an equilibrium or to a desired limit cycle motion and which is derived without taking the friction disturbance into account, a method for compensating the impact of the friction is presented and stability analysis for the closed loop system is pre
This thesis considers the ecological and evolutionary significance of seed and bud dormancy. First, I present theoretical support to the idea that seed dormancy may evolve as a strategy to reduce sib competition in temporally homogeneous environments. In this thesis, I also analyze two different processes that may give rise to parent-offspring conflicts in angiosperms, viz. seed germination and se
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kostfiber visar på gynnsamma effekter på blodsockersvar, inflammationsmarkörer och blodfetter utifrån tre humanstudier som genomfördes i detta arbete. I en av studierna analyserades blod och urin med metabolomik. Det är en metod där man analyserar alla små molekyler (metaboliter) som finns i provet med hjälp av vätskekromatografi kopplat till masspektrometri. Med hjälp It is well-known that dietary fibre can have a positive effect on the development of lifestyle-dependent diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, the effect may be different for different kinds of fibre and different sub-populations at risk. Therefore, the effects of three different kinds of fibre on postprandial and long-term response in healthy subjects were investig
It has been observed and reported that in pulse combustors of Helmholtz type the heat transfer is two to five times higher than expected. From experiments, where the temperature profile in the tail pipe of a pulse combustor has been measured, we have no indication why the heat transfer should be enhanced. In the tail pipe of a pulse combustor the radial component of the temperature gradient vanish
Wireless networked embedded systems are becoming increasingly important in a wide area of technical fields. In this tutorial paper we present recent results on the design of these systems and their use in control applications, that have been developed within the project Reconfigurable Ubiquitous Networked Embedded Systems (RUNES). RUNES is a European Integrated Project with the aim to control comp
