The starch and yeast industries are two key sectors of the European food industry, with annual turnovers of approx. € 4 billion and € 500 million, respectively, in Europe alone. The production processes in the starch and yeast industries are still dominated by conventional separation processes such as evaporators, separators and rotary vacuum filters (RVFs), and membrane processes are only rarely

The enzyme ferrochelatase (EC 4.99.1.1) is the terminal enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of heme b and catalyzes the insertion of Fe(II) into protoporphyrin IX. In this dissertation ferrochelatase from Bacillus subtilis was studied. A new purification method via inclusion bodies was developed that enabled simple purification of recombinant enzyme without tags or modifications that might affect t

Background: Air pollution has been linked to breast cancer risk, but previous studies have seldom considered specific exposure windows, like pregnancy. During pregnancy the breast undergoes substantial changes and exposures may have a stronger impact than if they occurred during other time periods. This study aims to identify associations between ambient air pollution exposure during pregnancy and

Under de senaste åren har gängkriminalitet och dess konsekvenser uppmärksammats i såväl den allmänna debatten som i lagstiftningsarbetet. Lagstift-ningstakten har ökat och flera nya straffrättsliga och processuella regler har införts i syfte att motverka grov och organiserad brottslighet. En av de mest omdiskuterade reformerna är lagen (2024:1180) om anonyma vittnen i brottmål. Lagen, som trädde iIn recent years, gang-related crime and its societal consequences have attracted considerable attention in both public debate and legislative policy in Sweden. The pace of legislative reform has accelerated, and several new substantive and procedural criminal law measures have been introduced with the aim of combating serious and organized crime. One of the most debated reforms is The Anonymous Wi

We have evaluated capacitive and thermal transducers for recognition of bio- molecular interactions with different analytes. These assays were made in flow analysis systems because of the simplicity such methods provide. A capacitive transducer, based on a surface modified gold electrode, has the ability to monitor affinity based interactions directly, provided that the interactions introduce mea

Introduction: Peroxiredoxin-1 (PRDX1) is a multifunctional protein, acting as a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenger, molecular chaperone and immune modulator. Although differential PRDX1 expression has been described in many tumors, the potential role of PRDX1 in breast cancer remains highly ambiguous. Using a comprehensive antibody-based proteomics approach, we interrogated PRDX1 protein as a puta

Introduction: Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) is a moderate penetrance breast cancer risk gene, whose truncating mutation 1100delC increases the risk about twofold. We investigated gene copy-number aberrations and gene-expression profiles that are typical for breast tumors of CHEK2 1100delC-mutation carriers. Methods: In total, 126 breast tumor tissue specimens including 32 samples from patients carry

Monitoring of environmental gases is necessary to understand the complex processes governing global warming and the impact of pollutant emissions related to human activity. Diode-laser-based spectroscopic techniques, being robust and affordable, have a great potential to become an industrially well-established technology for environmental sensing. This thesis deals with the further development of

Given the rapidly increasing number of women above 50 it is of pivotal importance to consider health issues related to gonadal hormone deficiency. The possibility of alleviating such symptoms by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be recognized by all physicians, not merely by gynaecologists. But which women should be given what therapy, and for how long? Due to the increased risk of endometr

A novel type of limited double-moment scheme for bulk microphysics is presented here for cloud-systemresolving models (CSRMs). It predicts the average size of cloud droplets and crystals, which is important for representing the radiative impact of clouds on the climate system. In this new scheme, there are interactive components for ice nuclei (IN) and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). For cloud ic

Arktiska miljöer har de senaste decennierna upplevt en stark temperaturökning, vilket påverkar tundrans kolcykel.Smältande permafrost, minskande snötäcke och förändringar i hydrologiska mönster är exempel på pågående processer som förändrar samspelet mellan mark och atmosfär samt ekosystemens säsongsdynamik.Då ett antal av dessa processer involverar utbyte av växthusgaser, såsom spårgaserna metan Arctic environments have experienced strong warming in recent decades, which is affecting the carbon cycle of tundra ecosystems.Degrading permafrost, diminishing snow cover, and changing hydrology are examples of ongoing processes that affect the land-atmosphere interactions and seasonal ecosystem dynamics.Since a number of the affected processes involve the exchange of atmospheric greenhouse gase

INTRODUCTION: Secondary functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (SFHA) is common among female athletes, especially in weight-sensitive sports. The aim of this study was to investigate the link between SFHA and neuromuscular performance in elite endurance athletes. METHODS: Sixteen eumenorrheic (EUM) and 14 SFHA athletes from national teams and competitive clubs participated. Methods included gynecologi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Salt ackumulering på jordbruksmark är en historisk såväl som ett av de potentiellt största problem som mänskor har haft och har. Forskare har undersökt och försökt lösa detta problem under en lång tid. Över 20 reviewer har publicerats om ämnet under de senaste fem åren. I denna avhandling redogörs summariskt för utbredningen av salt stress i dagens jordbruk, samt de toSalt stress is one of the historically as well as potentially largest agriculture problem humans have faced. Researchers have investigated and tried to solve this problem for a long time. Over 20 reviews have been written on this topic the last five years. In this thesis the extent of salt stress in today's agriculture, the toxic and damaging effects on plants and bacteria exposed to salt stress,

Popular Abstract in Swedish När främmande fettlösliga ämnen som miljögifter (ex. PCB och dioxin) hamnar inuti kroppen bearbetas de ofta av det så kallade biotransformations-systemet. När inte levern och njurarna direkt kan utsöndra de främmande molekylerna får enzymer ändra de oönskade ämnenas kemiska sammansättning. Detta görs genom att ändra molekylernas kemiska egenskaper så att de blir vattenlIn vertebrates, studies of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) have been of particular interest due to its direct involvement in the toxic effects exerted by several environmental pollutants, such as PCB and dioxin. After binding to the toxic molecule, this receptor initiates transcription of several genes that are part of the biotransformation battery but most notably the cytochrome P450 (CYP) ge

Background: Immigrants from the Middle East (ME) have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to the native-born Swedish population. In individuals free from T2D, ME immigrants are more insulin resistant and have lower levels of adjusted insulin secretion (Disposition index, DIo) compared to Swedish-born individuals. The ethnic differences are not fully explained by traditional risk

Research on human emotions towards large carnivores is often based on self-reported emotions. This study aimed to investigate physiological and behavioral responses to feared animals among people who say that they are fearful or not fearful of brown bear and wolf. Participants were recruited to be bear fearful only (n=8), fearful of both bear and wolves (n=15), or fearful of neither carnivore (n=1
