Medier bidrar till att konstruera verklighet. De kan bidra till en förändring av kontexten i vilken människor gör sina hälsoval. Syftet med uppsatsen är att låta olika förståelsepoler mötas och förenas för att mening skall kunna förmedlas angående hur hälsosynen uttrycks i ett nummer av tidskriften Tara, och för att jag skall kunna bilda mig en uppfattning om olika texternas kvaliteter. Jag har gj

Statement of Purpose: Chronic lung diseases are one of the major health problems that cause death and disability. Approximately 65 million people suffer from chronic lung diseases, and the number of patients is predicted to increase worldwide 1 . Lung transplantation is the only available treatment option for patients at end-stage disease. However, there is a chronic shortage of donor organs, re

[3H]arachidonic [( 3H]20:4) and [14C]linoleic acid [14C]18:2) were fed to rats in Intralipid or cream. Later (30-240 min) the stomach, small intestine, plasma, and liver were analyzed for radioactivity in different lipid classes. [3H]20:4 and [14C]18:2 were emptied from the stomach and absorbed by the intestine at similar rates. The [3H]20:4:[14C]18:2 ratio of the lipids in the small intestinal wa

Statement of Purpose: Many chronic pulmonary diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary hypertension (PH) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are complex and poorly understood. While great progress has been made to elucidate the cellular and molecular pathways underlying these diseases, treatment options remain limited. The dynamic alterations in mechanical pr

In the present study, we demonstrate an acoustofluidic trapping technique based on the standing bulk acoustic waves (S-BAW) generated inside a uniquely designed chamber - the 'shaped trap' that enables the particle to experience the axial primary radiation force (A-PRF) along the flow direction as the main trapping force.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populærvidenskablig sammenfatning på dansk Både løbebiller og springhaler er nyttedyr i det danske landbrugsland. Løbebiller er oftest betragtet som rovdyr, der spiser skadelige insekter i marken og er derved medvirkende i skadedyrsbekæmpelsen. Springhaler er minder insekter, som oftest lever i de øverste jordlag og som hovedsagelig spiser svampehyfer. Svampene nedbrydTo optimise fitness is a continuous process which assists species survival in changing environments. Choosing an optimal diet is an essential part of the optimisation process and a key element of optimal foraging theory. The relationship between food choice and fitness optimisation has been tested on three ground beetles and several collembolan species by using food items naturally occurring in th

Popular science description The agrarian reforms of the 18th century were some of the most momentous historical events in Danish history. In the span of 30 years, half of all peasants went from living in a state of serfdom to owning and cultivating their own plots of land, free from the onerous ties of manorial dependence that they had toiled under for hundreds of years. In this pioneering dissert

IntroductionHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) is essential for human wellbeing, influenced by a complex interplay of factors, and is reported lower in women than men. We aimed to evaluate which factors were the most important for HRQoL in a middle-aged general population.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional, multi-centre study of 29,212 men (48%) and women (52%) aged 50–64 in the general populat

A sports-related concussion (SRC) is often caused by rapid head rotation at impact, leading to shearing and stretching of axons in the white matter and initiation of secondary inflammatory processes that may exacerbate the initial injury. We hypothesized that athletes with persistent post-concussive symptoms (PPCS) display signs of ongoing neuroinflammation, as reflected by altered profiles of cer

We present an improved acoustophoretic system for circulating tumor cell separation from blood. The system is operated by pressure driven flow, including flow sensors and a feed-back loop for precise flow control. The pressure driven system provides a user interface that can be handled by a non-skilled operator, and most importantly full clinical samples of 7 mL can be processed in 70 minutes. The

We have fabricated a device in which hollow nanowires (HNWs) lying on a glass surface are connected to microfluidic channels for the purpose of guiding DNA and to characterize the fluidic properties of our HNWs. The dimensions of our HNWs (inner diameter 10-80 nm, outer diameter 50-200 nm and length several μm) can be made on a scale much smaller than the size of a cell and on the same order of ma

Purpose: Various food patterns have been associated with weight change in adults, but it is unknown which combinations of nutrients may account for such observations. We investigated associations between main nutrient patterns and prospective weight change in adults. Methods: This study includes 235,880 participants, 25–70 years old, recruited between 1992 and 2000 in 10 European countries. Intake

Mesoscopic simulations with two-dimensional (2D) models have been performed to elucidate the dynamics of deformable red blood cells (RBCs) in deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices. Several shapes of posts, including circular, diamond, square and triangular structures and RBCs with different rigidities are considered. In comparison to rigid particles, the deformable RBCs exhibit much mor

We report a new design of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. Acoustic trapping enables nanoparticle and exosome enrichment without the need for ultracentrifugation. The commercial acoustic trapping technology, AcouTrap (AcouSort AB), typically operates at flow rates < 50 μl/min which limits processing of larger

In 2014 a small fire started in a forest in central Sweden. Within a few days it developed into the largest wildfire in Sweden in the last 50 years. As the scale of the fire increased, so did the need for direction and coordination of the resources engaged in the response operation. Both official investigators and the research community have studied the challenges and come up with recommendations

FORESTRY, AIR POLLUTANTS AND MULTIPLE USE ASPECTS ON BERRY PRODUCTION OF FORESTS IN SOUTH SWEDEN by Georgios Gaitanis Lund University Master' s Programme in Environmental Sciences Honours Thesis Supervisor: Bengt Nihlgård Department of Plant Ecology Lund University Summary Various methods of forest management affect the occurrence of berry species in many different ways. It is also known that atmo
