Wishing you all a good continuation of the new year and hope you have either had a lovely winter break with much relaxation or if you have been working that it has been extremely calm and relaxing. I worked 2-3 January and I can tell you it was very eerie at the office. But nice to not be bombarded with e-mails all
Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #1 2026-01-15 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! Welcome to 2026! Have you gotten used to it yet? Well, I don’t. I still write 2025 when I need to write dates. Anyhow, I hope you all have had a nice holiday and were able to relax, eat too much food and enjoy good company with either friends or family. I ended my holiday with a skiing trip to Åre, where I took the

Evaluation GEOM10 2020 Comment on the course evaluation of GEOM10, fall 2020 17 on 18 students answered the course evaluation, which is thus representative. The course was held under this form for the fourth time. The course was strongly reorganized this year, due for one part to the COVID-19 situation and to the departure of the specialist of applied sedimentology from the teaching team for the o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blommor använder färg och doft för att locka till sig pollinatörer. Hur använder sig svärmare av dessa olika signaler för att hitta blomman? För att få svar på denna fråga undersöktes två arter av svärmare, en dagaktiv, Macroglossum stellatarum, och en nattaktiv, Deilephila elpenor. Båda arterna har färgseende och den nattaktiva svärmaren kan skilja på olika färger äveFlowers use different cues to attract pollinators including colour and odour. How do hawkmoths use these cues to find the flowers? This question was investigated in two species of hawkmoth, the diurnal species, Macroglossum stellatarum, and the nocturnal species, Deilephila elpenor. Both species have colour vision and D. elpenor can discriminate colours under very dim light intensities. Both speci
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammation is a protective response against injury or infection (the invading microbes or their toxins) with the aim being the removal of causal agent followed by the repair process. Without inflammation, infections would go unchecked and wounds would not heal. However, inflammation is like a double-edged sword. Though it is mainly a protective response, some times, iThe pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. In this context, in the present study, we examined if expo
Deterioration of concrete structures is a worldwide problem. Environmental exposure is known to affect concrete strength in structures. While moisture affects rebound values by lowering them, carbonation does the opposite. The aim of the study was to determine the in-situ concrete strength of three bridge elements, namely, pier, abutment and deck and evaluate the environmental conditions such as m
Objective: To examine the test-retest repeatability of pressure pain thresholds in the shoulder muscles of healthy women. Design: Four experimental sessions (days 1, 3, 28, 30), each including 4 consecutive pressure pain threshold measurements at 10-minute intervals. Subjects: Twenty-four healthy female volunteers, mean age 42 years. Methods: Two examiners measured pressure pain thresholds bilater
The desert gerbil Psammomys obesus, an established model of type 2 diabetes (M), has previously been shown to lack pancreatic and duodenal homeobox gene 1 (Pdx-1) expression. Pdx-1 deficiency leads to pancreas agenesis in both mice and humans. We have therefore further examined the pancreas of P. obesus during embryonic development. Using Pdx-1 antisera raised against evolutionary conserved epitop
Given the cost constraints of the European health-care systems, criteria are needed to decide which genetic services to fund from the public budgets, if not all can be covered. To ensure that high-priority services are available equitably within and across the European countries, a shared set of prioritization criteria would be desirable. A decision process following the accountability for reasona
This paper discusses the effects of vegetation cover and soil parameters on the climate change projections of a regional climate model over the Arctic domain. Different setups of the land surface model of the regional climate model HIRHAM were realized to analyze differences in the atmospheric circulation caused by (1) the incorporation of freezing/thawing of soil moisture, (2) the consideration o
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the prevalence and mechanism of poor responsiveness to clopidogrel and prasugrel in coronary artery disease patients with and without diabetes. BACKGROUND: Low platelet inhibition by clopidogrel is associated with ischemic clinical events. A higher 600-mg loading dose (LD) has been advocated to increase responsiveness to clopidogrel. METHODS: In this study, 110 aspirin-tre
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the sentinel node (SLN) concept for lymphatic mapping in early stage cervical cancer. METHODS: 105 women with early stage (1a1-2a) cervical cancer were scheduled for the sentinel node procedure in conjunction with a complete pelvic lymphadenectomy. The day before surgery, 1-1.5 mL 120MBq Tc(99) albumin nanocolloid was injected submucosally at four po
Nyligen lades ett lagförslag fram som föreslår att en ny paragraf ska införas i aktiebolagslagen som föreskriver att styrelseledamöterna i aktiemarknadsbolag och statligt helägda bolag ska vara representerade till minst fyrtio procent av vardera kön. Detta innebär att det genomsnittliga antalet kvinnliga styrelseledamöter i börsbolagen måste höjas med 8 procentenheter från nuvarande 32 procent. OmA legislative proposal suggesting that a new article is introduced in the Swedish Companies Act which states that the boards of directors of certain public companies and all wholly-owned government companies should consist of at least 40 percent of each gender was recently launched in Sweden. This means that the average number of female directors of the public companies needs to increase by 8 perc
The purpose of this study was to examine the Minnesota model and the meaningful moments experienced by people who have gone through the Minnesota treatment. Our aim was also to analyze this treatment from an interactionist perspective using the turning points theory, the labeling theory, Ervin Goffman’s dramaturgical perspective and, the interactionist perspective view on the emotion shame. We hav
The food waste created in Swedish commercial kitchens presents a difficult logistical and environmental problem for local governments. Today all the food waste is collected separately and recycled organically to create biogas, an energy-rich fuel that can be used for both industrial and domestic applications. To mitigate the logistical and sanitary issues associated with large amounts of organic w
This master’s thesis is about digital history and digital documents, studying attitudes and practises concerning this in some non-profit organizations. The study centres on how creators of archives handle their digital presence and on what they think about their digital material as part of their future history. The study has two main theoretical starting points: one in document theory, centring
This bachelor’s thesis in statistics explores frequentist and bayesian methods for parameter estimation and compares their usefulness when applied to opinion polls of party sympathies in the Swedish political system. Through simulation in R, random samples are generated from a population modelled after the Swedish electorate at various points during the 2010s and 2020s. The party for which each in
