The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to improve the management of infections in immunocompromised patients by studying aspects of diagnostics, epidemiology and nosocomial transmission. Infection and rejection are common complications in lung-transplant patients, and early diagnosis and treatment are important for a positive outcome. In a study of lung-transplant patients it was found t
Reuse and recycling were important, but often forgotten, parts of managing the preindustrial fashionable wardrobe. Through researching diaries and extant garments from Swedish collections, the sources reveal everyday textile practices of costly textiles, mending, turning, altering, using old fabric or garments for new, change of parts or color, and reuse of textile material for new fabrics. The so
Many water treatment processes used to improve the quality of drinking- and wastewater directly or indirectly affect, or are affected by, the activity of microbes. These activities can improve water quality, presenting sustainable alternatives to mechanical or chemical processes. As water is distributed, it is also changed by microbes. Harnessing the potential of microbes to improve water quality
Mitigating climate change will affect energy systems and have consequences that reach beyond environmental policies. The studies presented in this thesis analyse how reducing emissions of greenhouse gases affect (energy) security. The focus is on strategies which improve energy efficiency or increase the share of renewable energy.This thesis is based on five papers in which frameworks for conceptu
Title: Aligning Inventory with Strategic Priorities Across Factory Boundaries – More than moving plates Authors: Lisa Johansson and Johanna Weber Supervisors: Jan Olhager, Professor at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering(LTH) at Lund University Alexandra Kristensson, Head of S&OP, GPHE at Alfa Laval AB Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Senior Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of
Color is the most obvious and easily determined soil property that can provide crucial information about soil composition. The NIX™ Pro color sensor (Nix) presents a user-friendly alternative to the traditional Munsell manual method, with reduced sensitivity to environmental and human factors. Therefore, a new method was developed to use Nix in combination with machine learning to quickly and affo
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the fourth leading cause of death from cancer worldwide. People suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohns’ disease and ulcerative colitis, are at an increased risk of developing CRC. The development of CRC is highly influenced by the tumour microenvironment. Tumour cells are able to recruit macrophages and change their beh
This study shows how six different European forests react during the summer to abnormally warm temperatures, from 1996 to 2006. With the forecasted increase of summer temperatures over Europe, the carbon balance of forests – photosynthesis (GPP), ecosystem respiration and Net Ecosystem Exchange - in likely to change. In this thesis, the photosynthesis and the respiration of six European forests w
This paper tests the “Square Root Rule” (the SRR), a Basel sanctioned method of scaling 1-day Value At risk to higher time horizons. The SRR has come under serious assault from leading researchers focusing on its week theoretical basis: assuming i.i.d. asset returns. I performed an empirical test of the SRR on the 10-day horizon, the maximum horizon allowed by Basel, comparing SRR performance to d
Patients with chronic liver impairment often display symptoms of affective psychiatric nature where the choice for antidepressant treatment is rational. Since caution is recommended when these drugs are used in such patients, a dose reduction is usually performed. We have previously reported that a dose reduction to liver-impaired portacaval shunted rats has resulted in similar brain concentration
Background: Anterior resection has the benefit of enabling bowel continuity, but suffer from a common complication in anastomotic leakage.There is a paucity in previous research of long-term implications of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection.Aims: To gain general knowledge of the morbidity related to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer, specific aims were:I.To

Stora förändringar och varierad elproduktion har lett till många osäkerheter i elsystemets marknader. Balanseringsverktygen har därmed hamnat i rampljuset med stor inkomstpotential idag och möjligen även långt framöver. Denna rapport visar att det finns stora möjligheter för vätgassystem och batterier att medverka på dessa marknader. En förväntad fördubbling av elproduktion under de kommande 20 årIn order to move away from fossil fuels many governments and industries are focusing their new investments in electricity and alternative fuels such as green hydrogen from electrolyzers using renewable electricity. High investment costs and electricity costs are a hindrance for the future development of a hydrogen economy which can utilize an increasing intermittent power generation. The aim of th
