BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) reduces disease recurrence and progression in intermediate- and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). BCG-associated adverse events during instillations are common, leading to treatment cessation. Prophylactic use of quinolones in conjunction with BCG instillations is one approach for reducing BCG-associated adverse events. O
Tvågradersmålet KLIMAT I FOKUS | Nr 15 • 2015 | LUNDS UNIVERSITET 2 KLIMAT I FOKUS | Nr 15 • 2015 Ett centralt mål i klimatpolitiken är att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen till under två grader. Utgångspunkten är klimatet jämfört med den förindustriella tiden. Detta mål går under namnet ”tvågradersmålet”. EU har arbetat med tvågradersmålet sedan 1996. Inom ramen av FN:s klimatför- handlingar fö

Background It has been reported increased serum apoM levels seen in the patients suffered from obstructive sleep apnoea and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. In the present, we further examine the prevalence of apoM gene SNPs in COPD patients. And a new method base-quenched probe technique is established. Methods In the present study, we first used the Roche 454 GS Junior high-throughput seq

Seeing how climate change disproportionately affects women and children, the voices of young people and women are vital to incorporate into discussions and decision-making processes regarding climate change. This thesis explores the experiences of young women in the climate movement who have participated at the COP climate conferences between 2015-2023. By drawing on the theoretical framework of f
We examined the relationship between plant species diversity, productivity and the development of the soil community during early secondary succession on former arable land across Europe. We tested the hypothesis that increasing the initial plant species diversity enhances the biomass production and consequently stimulates soil microbial biomass and abundance of soil invertebrates. We performed fi
The late posterior negativity (LPN) is an ERP effect frequently reported in episodic memory tasks. In 2003, we proposed that both non-mnemonic action monitoring processes and reconstructive mnemonic processes contribute to the LPN. Here, we review more recent studies and provide additional evidence that the LPN reflects dissociable (though not mutually exclusive) mnemonic and non-mnemonic processe
In a questionnaire study, men with prostate cancer (n = 155) or benign prostatic hyperplasia (n = 131) identified more sexual problems than did men from the general population (n = 129). Sexual dysfunction was acknowledged regarding sexual pleasure and attraction, erectile function and sexual satisfaction and sexual performance. Lowered rates of sexual desire, pleasure and attraction were found wh
Sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) assessed by sperm chromatin structure assay is a valuable tool for prediction of fertility in vivo. Previous studies on DFI as predictor of in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome, based on relatively small materials, gave contradictory results. The present study examines, in a large cohort, the association between sperm DFI and the outcome of IVF/ICSI procedure. T
Uppsatsen undersöker rätten till självbestämmande för ursprungsfolk och huruvida en sådan rättighet existerar inom internationell sedvanerätt och vad omfattningen av en sådan rättighet innebär. Vidare undersöker uppsatsen vilka åtgärder stater har vidtagit för att implementera rättigheten med fokus på aspekterna gällande autonomi och självstyrelse. Detta görs genom att undersöka olika nationella sThis thesis examines the right to self-determination for indigenous peoples and whether such a right exists within international customary law and what the scope of such a right entail. Furthermore, the essay investigates what measures states have taken to implement such a right with a focus on the autonomous and self-governance aspects. This is done by examining different domestic self-government
Corruption has been around for centuries. Cross-border direct investments just for decades. Recent empirical research has found, that countries with rising corruption witness a decline in foreign direct investments. Poland is a paradox in this matter as both corruption and foreign investments are rising. This paper tries to find an answer to that question through examining the relationship between
Carrot juice concentrate (CJC) produced from fresh carrots is used in various applications in the beverage industry. Its quality is mainly defined by the carotenoid concentration which in turn strongly depends on the quality of the raw material and the processing technique. Manufacturers are constantly searching for new ways to produce a high-colour CJC. Thermal, enzymatic and mechanical treatment
Introduction. Assessment of male sexual dysfunction has been the focus of substantial scientific effort. Less research has focused on the development of instruments for the measurement of sexual functioning in aging men. Aim. The aims of this study were: (i) to characterize the psychometric properties of a new brief, reliable, and valid measure of male sexual functioning for use in a large populat
A new type of treatment planning system called SHAREPLAN has been studied, which enables the transfer of treatment plans generated for helical tomotherapy delivery to plans that can be delivered on C-arm linacs. The purpose is to ensure continuous patient treatment during periods of unscheduled downtime for the TomoTherapy unit, particularly in clinics without a backup unit. The purpose of this wo
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) regulate the growth and progression of breast cancer. FGF signaling is transduced through FGF receptors 1-4, which have oncogenic or anti-oncogenic roles depending on the ligand and the cellular context. Our aim was to clarify the roles of FGFR1-3 in breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Pools of S115 mouse breast cancer cells expressing shRNA against FGF
Marine protection has gained global attention following international and national goals for coverage percentages of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with effective management. In the Baltic Sea, a network of HELCOM MPAs has been established to contribute to international goals through regional collaboration. As part of the Baltic Sea Area, Sweden has also set targets for marine protection. Unfortuna
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of how team dynamics influence team performance, and thus team effectiveness, in an extreme environment. Methodology: In order to address the research question, a qualitative research study based on interpretive epistemology has been conducted. A discourse analysis is used with the aim to analyze the Formula 1 drivers’ use of
