Indigenous and Local Knowledge (ILK) is an expression of biocultural diversity and is vital for inclusive and sustainable forest management and epistemic justice. We examine how researchers studying tropical forest fauna engage with ILK and the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) who are holders of this knowledge. We conducted a systematic review of 62 articles that focus on tropical f

Moisture is decisive for a large number of binding and transport processes in high performance concrete affecting the durability, shrinkage and performance in various envi-ronments. An experimental study on the moisture transport properties of 20 concrete mixes was made during seven years, with type of binder, additives and water-binder ratio as parameters. An upside-down glass cup method was used

Popular Abstract in Swedish Helicobacter pylori är en av de vanligaste infektionerna hos människan. H. pylori framodlades för första gången 1983 av Robin Warren och Barry Marshall. Bakterien ger en kronisk inflammation i magslemhinnan. H. pylori orsakar magsår och möjligheten att behandla sjukdomen med antibiotika har inneburit en revolution inom sjukvården. Hos flertalet sker infektionen i barndoHelicobacter pylori is one of the most common infections in man. The infection is often acquired during childhood and usually results in a chronic life-long inflammation in the gastric mucosa. The aim of our studies was to investigate the association between H. pylori seropositivity and the development of gastric and oesophageal carcinomas. Nested case-control studies were performed in the Malmö P

The human pathogenic bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus) expresses several different virulence factors. Of these, the M protein is regarded as one of the most important, because it confers resistance to phagocytosis, allowing the bacterium to multiply in blood. A remarkable property of M proteins is their ability to bind different human plasma proteins, in partic

Abstract in German Hintergrund: Es wurde in einer populationsbasierten Fallkontrollstudie die Assoziation von Antikörpern auf Streptokokkus pyogenes Antigene mit der Entwicklung eines abdomionellen Aortenaneurysma (BAA) untersucht. Patienten und Methoden: 42 Patienten, bei denen ein BAA durch Screnning entdeckt wurde, wurden mit 100 alters- und geschlechtsgleichen Kontrollpatienten mit normaler AoBackground: In a population -based case-control study the association between antibodies to Streptococcus pyogenes antigens and the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was analysed. Patients and methods: Forty-two patients with screening-detected AAA were compared to 100 age- and sex matched controls with normal aortas. Antibodies against three recently characterized cell wall-attached

This thesis consists of five papers within the design and analysis of efficient algorithms.In the first paper, we consider the problem of computing all-pairs shortest paths in a directed graph with real weights assigned to vertices. We develop a combinatorial randomized algorithm that runs in subcubic time for a special class of graphs.In the second paper, we present a polynomial-time dynamic prog

Technologies allowing for the derivation of patient-specific neurons from somatic cells are emerging as powerful in vitro tools to investigate the intrinsic cellular pathological behaviours of the diseases that affect these patients. While the use of patient-derived neurons to model Parkinson's disease (PD) has only just begun, these approaches have allowed us to begin investigating disease pathog

OBJECTIVE: To compare the average out-of-home (OH) consumption of foods and beverages, as well as energy intake, among populations from 10 European countries and to describe the characteristics of substantial OH eaters, as defined for the purpose of the present study, in comparison to other individuals. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. Dietary data were collected through single 24-hour dietary recal
