We make Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) flexible by combining it with AC electrokinetics.

We have fabricated a silicon-glass two-phase droplet-based microfluidic system and implemented two-dimensional acoustic focusing prior to droplet generation as well as continuously throughout the whole system to increase particle detectability. Using acoustic focusing we have effectively minimized sedimentation of the encapsulated particles and thereby increased particle detectability by as much a

Direct and precise manipulation of sub-micron particles such as bacteria, platelets, organelles, microvesicles, exosomes or virus particles is challenging. We describe for the first time how acoustic streaming in the bulk can be efficiently reduced by introducing a density or compressibility gradient and that this enables focusing of 500-nm-diameter particles in a standard acoustophoresis channel.

AbstractThe overall aim of this thesis was threefold; first, to explore resources associated with work-life balance (WLB), with a focus on the work and private lives of human service employees. Second, to develop a workplace health promotion (WHP) intervention with a WLB focus. Third, to explore the participants’ experiences of the developed WHP intervention done in the workplace. A mixed method a

Background: The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipi

The Swedish army marched 1658 over the ice on the Danish sounds from Jutland to Zealand. An event that led to the foundation of Lund University in 1666. From the loads involved the ice thickness can be determined to have been at least 20 cm. Using data from mid-17 hundreds and forward the ice thickness of every year is computed. Large ice thickness seems to have been more common in the period mid

Background: Paleolithic Diet Fraction (PDF) and Paleolithic Diet Score (PDS) are both measures of how closely a food intake conforms to a Paleolithic dietary pattern. PDF is calculated directly from an individual’s absolute food intake and PDS is an aggregated score based on an individual’s food intake relative to a population. Both are inversely associated with all-cause and cause-specific mortal

High blood pressure (BP) is a frequent cause for visits to primary healthcare centers (PHCCs) in Sweden. Guidelines on methods for BP measurements for diagnosis of hypertension have recently been updated. We aimed to study adherence to diagnostic guidelines in hypertension management and evaluate whether adherence to guidelines was related to organizational or sociodemographic characteristics. Int

Background: Continuity of care (CoC) is essential for effective primary health care (PHC), yet Swedish PHC has historically exhibited low levels of continuity. The Swedish Patient Choice Reform introduced privatization and market-oriented principles into PHC, leading to increased utilization and growing inequities in service use driven by socioeconomic disparities and misalignment with health care

Background: Approximately 40% of cancer patients/survivors develop chronic cancer-related pain (CRP), which is often associated with greater levels of fatigue and cancer worry, all of which are associated with poorer functioning, wellbeing, and greater healthcare costs. Psychological Flexibility (PF) refers to one’s level of openness to and acceptance of physical/emotional experiences and willingn

The polar ice cap in the Arctic is receding, which has led to an increase in activity in the region. As the Arctic is becoming more accessible, economic opportunities are opening, making territorial claims in the region increasingly interesting to the Arctic Coastal States. This thesis focuses on the legal regime governing a future division of the Arctic Ocean. Given certain provisions are met, th

The purpose of this study is to investigate the driving forces towards second-hand shopping for clothing. Though literature on this topic already exists, there is still room for further examination, especially when adding other perspectives to it. Therefore, this project is especially concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying motivations for shopping second-hand, looking into

Denna uppsats tar sin utgångspunkt i säkerhetsrådets paralys till följd av vetorätten i relation till Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022. På flera håll i den internationella debatten hörs kritiska röster angående säkerhetsrådets, och därmed i praktiken hela FN:s, passivitet till följd av säkerhetsrådet oförmåga att agera i enlighet med sin befogenhet enligt framför allt FN-stadgans kapitel sju. The background and the main question of this essay derives from the paraly-sis of the Security Council as a result of the use of the veto in relation to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In the international discussion, critical voices have been raised against the Security Council's and thus the entire UN's inefficacy following the Security Council’s inability to act in accordance w
