Introduction: Copeptin is the stable surrogate marker of vasopressin (VP), which is released in response to elevated plasma osmolality or low blood pressure. Elevated plasma copeptin levels are associated with higher risk of insulin resistance-related disorders, such as type 2 diabetes (T2DM), metabolic syndrome (MS), and cardiovascular disease, and experimental reduction of circulating VP levels

What drives the adoption of pottery amongst prehistoric foragers in high-latitude environments? Following the long-running interests of archaeology in explaining the origin and dispersal of new technologies, recent years have seen growing efforts to understand what drove the emergence and expansion of early hunter-gatherer pottery use across northern Eurasia. However, many regional dimensions to t

BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is useful for selected clinical indications in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) but it may have broader clinical utility owing to the emergence of lutetium-177-PSMA-617 ([177Lu]Lu-PSMA) therapy. However, robust data regarding the impact of PSMA PET/CT on patient management and treat

Human complement component C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is composed of seven alpha-chains and one beta-chain. The alpha- and beta-chains are homologous and both contain multiple copies of short consensus repeats (SCR) and in addition carboxyl-terminal non-repeat regions. Each of the alpha-chains contains a binding site for C4b, whereas the beta-chain binds protein S, a vitamin K-dependent protein in

ABSTRACT Introduction. Sexual coercion is recognized as a serious societal problem. Correlates and risk factors of sexually abusive behavior in females are not well known. Aim. Etiological theory and empirical study of female perpetrators of sexual coercion are usually based on small or highly selected samples. Specifically, population-based data are needed to elucidate risk/protective factors. Ma

As a primary driver of climate change, energy systems are often affected by the type of “self-perpetuation and lock-in” that characterize so-called ‘wicked problems’. Although it has a relatively clean energy system, Canada still has provinces (e.g. Alberta, Saskatchewan) that possess carbon-intensive power grids, and provinces that have experienced minimal renewable energy development other tha

3 October – the Tuesday of the so-called Nobel Week – will go down in history as the day when LTH and Lund University received their very first Nobel Prize. At the same time, to all of us, it was a working day among many. Communication Officer Evelina Lindén, who divides her working hours between Fysicum and LTH’s secretariat, writes about what it was like to suddenly have her workplace invaded by

Allemansrätten är en rättighet med gamla anor som omfattar stor del av Sveriges yta och tillfaller alla som bor i och vistas i Sverige. Rättighetens materiella innehåll kan endast delvis utläsas ur lag och då närmast uteslutande motsatsvis ur lagbestämmelser. Istället har allemansrätten sin lagliga grund i sedvana. Att det inte alltid står klart vilka rättigheter till annans mark allemansrätten geThe common (legal) right of access to private land, "allemansrätten", is an established privilege that concerns most of Sweden’s territory and applies to anyone living in or staying in the country. The material content of the right can only partially be recognized in the legislation and then almost exclusively e contrario. Instead, the common legal right of access to private land is main

Mould problems in buildings have become a growing concern during the past decades. The growth of mould fungi indoors deteriorates air quality, influences human health and causes economical losses. Preventing mould growth from occurring is a more cost effective option than cleaning and renovation of buildings with mould problems. Mould growth will occur in buildings when there are moisture problem

SWEAH's travelers left an almost 30-degree Sweden and arrived in typical September rain and Stirling half as hot. But then the sun came and a packed program with, among other things, lectures and workshops on quantitative and qualitative methods, and a competition where the best presentations were crowned. The postdoctoral students competed in their own class, where Thomas Lowe from the Netherland

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. We are experiencing a minor revolution with the growth of big data, according to Professor of Mathematics Magnus Fontes at LTH. He therefore recently took the initiative to establish the Centre for Mathematical Modelling, to gather the University’s expertise in big data modelling and calculations. The idea is that les
