Popular Abstract in Swedish 1: Tomas Åkerud, doktorand vid Lunds Universitet, har utvecklat en metod för att mäta hur snabbt läkemedelsmolekyler och fettsyror (de naturliga bindarna) tar sig in i och lämnar bindingsfickan i ett protein som är viktigt för fettsyrametabolismen i människa. Proteinet, adipocyt-fettsyrabindande protein (A-FABP), har som funktion att transportera fettsyror, som inte är

During excavations of the nunnery of Vreta, a number of artefacts for medical and hygienic use were found, including medical vessels, a clasp-knife, different types of forceps, phlebotomy knives and a surgical sharp hook. The artefacts show that medical and most probably some surgical activity has taken place there. Compared to other Swedish Cistercian monasteries, as the nunnery of Gudhem and the

Populations intermediate between the diploid and sexual Sorbus aucuparia and the tetraploid and facultative apomictic Sorbus hybrida are scattered in coastal regions of southern Scandinavia. Our aims were to investigate whether these populations were of local and independent origins, whether they were morphologically and molecularly distinct from each other and whether they could give rise to cons

Mesopolobus incultus auct. is hypothesized to consist of two different species, M. amyntor (Walker) and M incultus (Walker). This hypothesis is supported by molecular (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I, i.e. COI), morphological and biological data. Mesopolobus amyntor is a primary parasitoid of Mecinus pascuorum (Gyllenhal) and M. labilis (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Plantago lanceolata. M

Pervasiveness and complexity of modern software are challenging engineers to design applications able to guarantee the desired quality of service despite unpredictable runtime variations in their execution environment. A variety of techniques have been proposed in the last year for the design of self-adaptive applications; however, most of them is tailored to specific applications or can provide l

Summary: Brain Computer interfaces (BCIs) are stable inside the brain over long periods of time and that have minimal effects on the physiological conditions of the neural tissue. This chapter reviews the state-of-the-art of neural interfaces and the concepts behind recent research and development of biocompatible BCIs. It focuses on various tissue responses in the brain to an implanted foreign bo

A low-latency and area-efficient FFT/IFFT scheme is presented. The main idea is to utilize OFDM guard bands to reduce the operation counts and processing time, which results in 42% latency reduction compared to the reported pipelined schemes. To realize this idea, a modified pipelined architecture and an efficient data scheduling scheme are proposed. Furthermore, the proposed architecture is scala

Becoming a father, especially for the first time, can present changes in men's identity and in the relationship with their partner. Affinity within the family and participation in the whole process of pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period are important for fathers' sense of postnatal security. The fathers want to be already prepared before birth for the early postnatal period. Willingness

The main source of this article is based on the correspondence between former concentration camp prisoners: Melchior, Dziedzicka, Karier and Krzyzanowska, who were evacuated to Sweden in 1945, and Lakocinski, the founder of the Polish Research Institute in Lund and the editor of the influential weekly "Polak" magazine, addressed to Polish immigrants in Sweden. In 1945-46, the members of the Polish

The food sector is increasingly facing significant challenges throughout the supply chain to become more resource efficient. In this context, three critical areas of focus are the reduction of food waste, energy, and water consumption. One of the key factors identified as an obstacle to improving resource efficiency is the lack of suitable capabilities to collect, exchange and share real-time data
