Popular Abstract in Swedish Jorden är ett ytterst komplext och dynamiskt system. Livet har format planeten och utvecklats i takt med förändrade livsvillkor. Ekosystemen kontrolleras i hög grad av klimatet. Snabbt förändrade villkor innebär betydande påfrestningar för åtskilliga arter och ekosystem, inklusive planetens mest dominerande art, människan. Avhandlingens huvudfokus är att undersöka samsThe Earth is a highly complex and dynamic system. Life has shaped the entire planet and evolved in response to living conditions. Ecosystems are heavily affected by climate. Rapidly changing conditions imply considerable stress on several species and ecosystems, as well as to the most dominant species on the planet. The main focus of this thesis is to investigate climate and anthropogenic interac

The purpose of this project is to investigate hole transport in p-type quantum dots formed in GaSb nanowire and operating as single hole transistors. The individual and controlled hole-spin confinement in such system yields a variety of proposed applications for spintronics or quantum computation. In contrast to more conventional n-type material system, however, p-type quantum devices benefit from

At the international climate negotiations at COP27, parties reached the historic agreement to establish a fund to provide assistance to countries in responding to costs associated with climate change, the loss and damage fund. The decision is a result of many years of struggle for the recognition of loss and damage under the UNFCCC which have long been opposed by post-industrial countries. This th

A transcription of the second episode of season two. Nic:  This is episode two of season two of the Meridian. It is March 11th, 2022 and we are once again coming to you from Lund Observatory, Lund University in southern Sweden.  Crossing our local Meridian today we have Diane Feuller who is a researcher here at Lund Observatory working on galactic archaeology using stellar abundances, ages and kin

In 2010, Spence and Van Gelder presented a family of CNF formulas based on combinatorial block designs. They showed empirically that this construction yielded small instances that were orders of magnitude harder for state-of-the-art SAT solvers than other benchmarks of comparable size, but left open the problem of proving theoretical lower bounds. We establish that these formulas are exponentially

Climate change can substantially affect infrastructure performance and safety. In this article, the impact of climate change on fungal decay of wooden infrastructure in ground contact is investigated. For this purpose, projections of three different climate change scenarios are used to assess the impact of climate change on fungal decay rate of untreated clear wood elements in ground contact in Sw

This thesis analyses the effect of corruption on Kenya's low and fluctuant FDI inflows. Institutions have increasingly been crucial for all economic aspects, including FDI. As a component of institutions, corruption has been found to 'sand the wheels' of FDI and economic prosperity. To confirm this hypothesis, this paper employed an ARDL model and found that corruption had a negative a

Three orthogonal techniques were used to provide new insights into thermally induced aggregation of the therapeutic protein Somatropin at pH 5.8 and 7.0. The techniques were Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Asymmetric Flow-Field Flow-Fractionation (AF4), and the TEM-based analysis system MiniTEM™. In addition, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal unfolding and stabi

Phosphonic acid (H3PO3) is a candidate as an anchor group that can be used to bind a wide range of molecules to TiO2 surfaces, with practical applications for example in dye-sensitized solar cells. Adsorption geometries and energies of H3PO3 on the TiO2 anatase (1 0 1) surface have therefore been investigated using quantum-chemical periodic hybrid ab initio Hartree Fock density functional theory c

Samverkande proteiner vid syrebrist under inflytande av inhibitorn PT2385 i hjärntumörceller från barn DIPG är en typ av hjärncancer hos barn som är placerad i övre delen av nacken vilket gör den svår att operera. Ledsamt nog finns ingen behandling för denna sjukdom, och patienter behandlas ofta med strålning för att förlänga livet med några enstaka månader. Hos den typiska patienten så överlevePurpose: The HIF-2α inhibitor PT2385 inhibits complex formation between HIF-2a and ARNT1 and thereby blocks HIF-2a transcriptional activation. It has been proven to extend survival in renal cancer, while its effects in pediatric brain cancer are unknown. This study is to investigate the effect of PT2385 in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) cells, as well as to investigate HIF-2a interaction

Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with

The matters of economic growth and climate change are both widely subjected to discussions and policymakers are under immense pressure to make decisions that enhance economic growth and stop climate change. Policies that ensure economic growth have traditionally had a negative impact on climate change and vice versa. It is therefore important to study how various policies can address the connectio

The importance of the subchondral bone plate of the acetabulum when preparing the pelvis for a cemented acetabular cup during total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been investigated using finite element analysis. The effect of retaining or removing the subchondral bone plate and the use of anchoring holes are compared. Loading was applied via both hip joint contact force and the activity of up to 22 mu

Summary: Reduced kidney function is associated with an increased fracture risk, although the relationship between an age-related decline and fractures needs further investigation. We followed kidney function and fracture risk for 10 years. A mild-moderate decline in kidney function was associated with fracture, but not in advanced age. Introduction: With age, kidney function declines. Though well

This paper analyses the underlying reasons why innovators do not apply for trademarks for all of their valuable inventions. Using a unique database of UK innovations linked to innovative firms, the empirical analysis highlights the many ways that firms can alleviate information asymmetries and the constraints imposed by collaborative innovation without taking recourse to trademarks. When informati

More than 70% of the population in Ethiopia lack access to electricity and thus rely on conventional sources of energy such as biomass that is associated with negative consequences on health and the environment. Decentralized community-based micro-hydropower plants (MHPs) are being utilized as effective means to transition to modern low-carbon energy systems providing access to electricity to comm
