Popular science summary: Mammals are born with relatively immature digestive and immune systems. The functional maturation of these systems takes place at weaning (dietary change from milk to solid food). The activation of immune system occurs due to new antigens from new diet and changed microflora. It has been shown in rat model that activation of adaptive immunity can influence functional deve

The aim of this project was to determine the consequences of the large-scale introduction of wood-based biofuels in the road transport sector. Therefore a model has been developed to project the demand for wood in Sweden in the period from 2007 to 2050. The wood-using sectors that were taken into account are: the sawmill industry; the paper and pulp industry, which was split in three: integrated c

Can normal development help us understand tumor initiation? The field of developmental biology studies the complex processes by which organisms grow. Embryology is one of its subfields and investigates how organisms develop from the moment the egg is fertilized to the later embryonic stages. Embryonic development can sometimes be abnormal and lead to cancer formation. In higher animals, followi

Rätten till asyl utgör en av de grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna och den garanterar att en asylsökande ska få frågan om sin flyktingstatus prövad i ett förfarande med visa garantier. Beslut i asylärenden är av stor betydelse för den enskildes liv och felaktiga beslut kan medföra allvarliga kränkningar av den enskildes mänskliga rättigheter. Inom asylrätten gäller som grundläggande princip attThe right of asylum is one of the fundamental human rights which guarantees that a person who seeks asylum will have his or hers status as a refugee, tried with some guarantees. Decisions made in an asylum case are of great importance for the individual and wrong decisions can lead to serious violations of the individual’s human rights. Within the asylum law is a fundamental principle which states

When timber is used as a building material a connection is required between the elements in order to transfer the load. A typical connection is the steel to timber joint with nail as connectors. These connections can fail in ductile manner, causing the nails to reach their plastic moment capacity, or in brittle manner so called plug shear failure, causing the timber to fail in combined tension and

Title: The key to the positive spiral - A study of musicians views of their practicing. The purpose with this paper is to make clear how continuous practicing on one element affects not just the specific part but also other things. Is it possible to find a positive spiral where everything can be better if you focus your practicing on one thing? Can this element if it is done daily in a qualitative

A number of deleterious health effects have been identified from exposure to outdoor air-borne particulate matter. This issue is complicated by the fact that people are spending most of the time indoors, where particles of both indoor and outdoor origin are present. The aim of this work was to assess the differences in particle chemical composition inside and outside of the residence and gain bett

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skivepitelcancer i huvud- och halsregionen (SCCHN) Kliniska aspekter Prognosen vid SCCHN är i stort sett oförändrat dålig sedan 30 år tillbaka; cirka hälften av patienterna dör av sin sjukdom. Trots stora tekniska framsteg kring behandlingsteknikerna (ofta en kombination av kirurgi, strål- och i viss mån cellgiftsbehandling) medför dAt present, clinical outcome or response to therapy can not be fully predicted in individual cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The overall aim of the present studies was to investigate potential prognostic factors, more closely related to the malignant progression of a tumor than the established markers, such as the TNM-classification system. Tumor samples were investi

This report is the result of a joint research project between Lund University and Copenhagen Business School, mainly financed by the Öresund University. The main research question was: Can the Öresund region position itself as a leading logistics centre in Scandinavia, in the light of the new conditions that the bridge brings? The purpose was to create a fundamental understanding of the new logist

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är skriven på svenskaI relation till hälsa, självkänsla, sociala och ekonomiska resurser i ett svenskt och europeiskt perspektiv. Knowledge of factors contributing to life satisfaction among older people is needed, both in the context of those with reduced self-care capacity and among healthy older people and those providing help to others. Such knowledge may be helpful in developing primary and secondary intervent

Popular Abstract in English My PhD thesis has focused on increasing the understanding of the osteoclasts, the cells responsible for degradation of bone, by studying the rare hereditary disease autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO). ARO is present already at birth and is caused by mutations affecting the osteoclasts ability to degrade bone. Non-functional osteoclasts lead to dramatic increases inThis thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed

The book contains the first part of an investigation aimed at finding out why it is morally wrong (at least prima facie) to cause species to go extinct. That it is morally wrong seems to be a very basic and widely held intuition. It seems reasonable that a moral theory worth taking seriously ought to be able to account for that intuition. The most common attempt to answer our question is to refer

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet har jordbruket förändrats drastiskt. Från ett småskaliga lantbruk där åkrar, ängar och betesmarker avlöste varandra, och varje gård var beroende av att både odla mat och hålla djuren med foder, till ett allt mer specialiserat jordbruk där både de enskilda gårdarna och hela regioner specialiserat sig mot antingen spannmålsproduktion eller djurhållning. OAs a consequence of agricultural intensification, large areas of non-crop habitat have been lost and farmland biodiversity has declined. Previous studies have shown that the extent of non-crop habitat influences farmland biodiversity, but the relative importance of different habitat types is less well known and the contribution of small incidental habitats to landscape-scale species richness is no

In today's society, companies are struggling to be heard and seen in the ever-increasing amount of information available on the market. A distinctive trademark has therefore become a very important means of communication for businesses. A trademark is often of considerable value in the form of goodwill and corporate image and is seen to communicate consumer attitude. An entire concept is not uI dagens samhälle kämpar företag för att höras och synas i det överflöd av information som finns tillgänglig. Ett särskiljande kännetecken har därmed blivit ett mycket viktigt kommunikationsmedel för företag. I detta kännetecken ligger ofta ett betydande värde i form av goodwill och image och attityd hos förbrukarna. Inte sällan är det hela koncept som förmedlas i ett komplicerat byggande av relat

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the purpose structure of company law and stock market law, and the various arguments for interpretation that apply when applying the law in these areas. This is done through the analysis provided the contributions in the second part of the thesis (Part II) of a number of illustrative central corporate law and stock market law issues, and through the the

Background: Forest soils in tropical and subtropical areas store a significant amount of carbon. Recent frameworks to assess soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics under evolving global conditions suggest that dividing bulk SOM into particulate and mineral-associated organic matter (POM vs. MAOM) is a promising method for identifying how SOM contributes to reducing global warming. Soil macrofauna, ear

Context. To be able to investigate the chemical history of the entire Milky Way, it is imperative to also study its dust-obscured regions in detail, as this is where most of the mass lies. The Galactic Center is an example of such a region. Due to the intervening dust along the line of sight, near-infrared spectroscopic investigations are necessary to study this region of interest.Aims. The aim of
