α-Synuclein (α-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein with a highly asymmetric charge distribution, whose aggregation is linked to Parkinson’s disease. The effect of ionic strength was investigated at mildly acidic pH (5.5) in the presence of catalytic surfaces in the form of α-syn seeds or anionic lipid vesicles using thioflavin T fluorescence measurements. Similar trends were observed with
Background: The association between protein intake and prostate cancer risk remains unclear. Aims: To prospectively investigate the associations of dietary intakes of total protein, protein from different dietary sources, and amino acids with prostate cancer risk and mortality. Methods: In 131,425 men from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, protein and amino acid int
Background: Genetic variants within nearly 1000 loci are known to contribute to modulation of blood lipid levels. However, the biological pathways underlying these associations are frequently unknown, limiting understanding of these findings and hindering downstream translational efforts such as drug target discovery. Results: To expand our understanding of the underlying biological pathways and m
The application of multiple omics technologies in biomedical cohorts has the potential to reveal patient-level disease characteristics and individualized response to treatment. However, the scale and heterogeneous nature of multi-modal data makes integration and inference a non-trivial task. We developed a deep-learning-based framework, multi-omics variational autoencoders (MOVE), to integrate suc
A major challenge of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to translate phenotypic associations into biological insights. Here, we integrate a large GWAS on blood lipids involving 1.6 million individuals from five ancestries with a wide array of functional genomic datasets to discover regulatory mechanisms underlying lipid associations. We first prioritize lipid-associated genes with expressi
Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build
Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att studera Thysells identitet och image för att identifiera eventuella gap i överensstämmelsen mellan dessa begrepp. Vi vill vidare beskriva hur företaget genom positionering kan föra identitet och image närmare varandra. Detta är en förutsättning för att få nöjda och lojala kunder samt förbättra företagets lönsamhet. Metod: Genom att konstruera en lönsamhetskedja, be
Mitt syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur väl forensikers egen uppfattning om vad de bör uttala sig om och vad de inte bör uttala sig om stämmer överens med en idealbild av expertrollen. Mot bakgrund av syftet ställdes elva påståenden till 50 forensiska experter vid Nationellt forensiskt centrum (NFC) i form av en enkätundersökning. De sätt på vilka forensiker kan avvika från idealet som testaMy purpose with this thesis is to examine how well forensic experts` understanding of what they should and should not express opinions on is in accordance with an idealized view of the expert role. Given my purpose with the thesis, eleven statements were presented in a survey to 50 forensic experts working at the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC). Two deviations from the ideal view of an expe
Mesenteric duct chylomicrons labelled with [3H]arachidonic (20:4) and [14C]linoleic (18:2) acid were injected intravenously into essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD) and control rats. The rats were killed after 5, 10, 20 and 240 min, and serum and different organs were analysed for radioactivity of different lipid classes. 3H and 14C in the triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) f
The Nordic countries offer an ideal case study of the COVID-19 pandemic due to their comparability, high data quality, and variable mitigations. We investigated the age- and sex-specific mortality patterns during 2020–2021 for the five Nordic countries and analysed the total age- and sex-adjusted excess deaths, ratios of actual to expected death rates, and age-standardized excess death estimates.
The Last Interglacial (LIG) experienced substantial changes in seasonal insolation compared with the present day, which may have affected the hydrography and water-mass exchange in the North Sea and Baltic Sea region. Here we investigate the effects of solar radiation and greenhouse gas (GHG) forcing on the regional climate by analyzing model simulations of the LIG (127 ka BP), pre-industrial (PI,
The paper presents digital nomads’ experiences about the support of digital technologies in relation to social isolation. Despite the abundant access to digital technologies for organizational cooperative purposes, the challenge of social isolation constitutes one of the central concerns in nomadicity practices, affecting employees’ choice of working arrangements. To gain further knowledge on the
Introduction: It is well known that urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is associated with preterm birth, but information about the risk of preterm birth depending on gestational week of infection is sparingly described in the literature. Material and Methods: An observational study based on data from Swedish registers including women giving birth 2014–2020 (n = 684 595). Pregnant women
