Increasing landscape complexity can enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services in agroecosystems. However, policies based on conversion of arable land into semi-natural habitats to increase landscape complexity and ecosystem services can be difficult to implement. Although it appears to be a promising management option, nothing is known about the effect of increasing landscape diversity through c

Background: The utility of conventional prostate-specifi c antigen (PSA) measurements in blood for monitoring rapid responses to treatment for prostate cancer is limited because of its slow elimination rate. Prior studies have shown that free PSA (fPSA), intact PSA (iPSA) and human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 (hK2) are eliminated more rapidly after radical prostatectomy. In contrast, all three

This report is a result of the work in projects for The Swedish Rescue Services Agency and for The National Board of Civil Emergency Preparedness. The problem is defined as difficulties in establishing rapid and effective management in major fire-fighting and rescue operations. The analyses result in a view that emergency management can be seen as cognitive modelling. The management work of major

The increase in extreme weather confirms that in order to slow down climate change, unnecessary travel must be reduced. Consequently, tourism industry has an obligation to start launching more environmentally friendly travel concepts and replace destructive charter tourism until sufficient emission-free vehicles that run on electricity become norm. Developing Staycation into innovative and attract

In 2021 Infrastructure Call at Lund University, we were gratefully approved funding from LU Central, the Science Faculty, and the Faculty of Engineering for purchasing a Solution X-ray Scattering Instrument for Life Science and Soft Matter, short-name the BioSAXS. Our vision is to promote the usage of X-ray and neutron scattering techniques and provide the researchers at LU with a facility where i

Background: Physiologically guided revascularization improves clinical outcomes. The cutoff values for deferral with fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the same across all coronary arteries, despite differences in coronary flow patterns. The objective was to compare deferral rates using either FFR or iFR in the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior desce

In order to create non-commercial places in the central city of Gothenburg, locating municipal services on ground floor level has been introduced as a part of the social sustainability dimension. The purpose is to create a vivid community and an including society within the urban development project Masthuggskajen. There is however a limited number of previous research conducted on how proceed wit

Title: Shipment Consolidation Policy Project. A case study at the Integrated Logistics Product Area at the Case Company. Authors: Carl Tornerhjelm, Tom Wachtmeister. Supervisor: Peter Berling, the Division of Production Management. Background: Larger corporations that distribute products and goods globally face both internal and external demands from stakeholders. High service levels call for freq

Under de senaste åren har plaster och deras hälso- och klimatpåverkan blivit mer uppmärksammat, vilket har drivit utvecklingen av nya hållbara material. Biobaserad och biologiskt nedbrytbar plast betraktas ofta som ett hållbart material och därför bedrivs omfattande forskning kring naturligt förekommande molekyler, såsom proteiner, cellulosa och stärkelse. Pappersförpackningar som ska omsluta en In recent years, there has been a surge in attention towards biodegradable polymer films, driven by the growing environmental awareness concerning the harmful effects of petroleumbased plastics. The maize protein zein, a by-product from wet milling processes, has shown potential to work as hydrophobic coating. The aim of this study has therefore been to find the most promising process conditions f

ABSTRACT Aims: To examine associations between leisure time physical activity before and during pregnancy and preterm delivery, birth weight, and pre-eclampsia and to describe levels of physical activity prior to and during pregnancy. Furthermore to elucidate women’s experiences and views of leisure time physical activity during pregnancy in a qualitative study. Methods: Data sources were: the Aar

Increased energy efficiency at the point of end-use is a key strategy for addressing a range of energy related problems, including greenhouse gas emissions. There are energy efficiency alternatives that can be implemented at low cost,and perhaps with some cost savings – these activities offer no-regrets opportunities for climate change mitigation. In addition, high levels of end-use energy efficie

BACKGROUND: Elevation of haemoglobin (Hb) with recombinant erythropoietin (rHuEpo) in patients with chronic renal failure has raised concern of increased risk of thromboembolic diseases. In this study, a substudy of the Scandinavian multicentre trial, we examined the influence on haemostatic parameters of normalization of Hb levels from subnormal levels in patients with chronic renal failure.METHO

We study the effect of birth weight on long-run outcomes using data on Swedish twins born between 1926 and 1958 linked to administrative records spanning entire life-time labor market histories. We find that birth weight positively affects permanent income and income across large parts of the lifecycle. The timing of the birth weight–income relationship is in line with the role of birth weight in

Computational methods gained a widespread use in drug discovery. Understanding conformational dynamics of protein and mechanisms of protein-ligand binding are two major areas in drug discovery. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation have been routinely used to study conformational dynamics of protein and mechanisms of protein-ligand binding. In classical MD simulation, the system often remains stuck i

Introduction: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) has been implemented with increasing frequency in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the oncologic outcome after OBS to the outcome after conventional breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with invasive breast cancer. Patients and Methods: In all, 197 patients treated with OBS were compared to 1399 patients trea

This paper presents a generic system dynamic model to simulate and analyze a desertification system and its stability for different desertification syndromes. The study is one of many desertification related modelling approaches carried out by different project partners within the frames of DeSurvey (A Surveillance System for Assessing, Monitoring and Modelling Desertification; 2005-2010).
