This study focuses on drivers for changing urban flood risk. We suggest a framework for guiding climate change adaptation action concerning flood risk and manageability in cities. The identified key drivers of changing flood hazard and vulnerability are used to provide an overview of each driver's impact on flood risk and manageability at the city level. We find that identified drivers for urban f
Variation of the blood content of the pulmonary vascular bed during a heartbeat can be quantified by pulmonary blood volume variation (PBVV) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim was to evaluate if PBVV differs in patients with heart failure compared to healthy controls and investigate the mechanisms behind the PBVV. Forty-six patients and 10 controls underwent MRI. PBVV was calculated f
Introduction In the context of public transportation, just as in many parts of society, the level of organizational complexity has increased over the last twenty years. Due to structural reforms and policy adjustments, responsibilities for the public transportation system in Sweden have become increasingly divided between a variety of public and private actors, thus fragmenting the organizational
Smart microscopy is transforming life sciences by automating experimental imaging workflows and enabling real-time adaptation based on feedback from images and other data streams. This shift increases throughput, improves reproducibility, and expands the functional capabilities of microscopes. However, the current landscape is highly fragmented. Academic researchers often develop custom solutions
Transient activation of fibroblasts into contractile myofibroblasts is essential for extracellular matrix (ECM) production and remodeling during wound healing and tissue regeneration. While ECM-dependent mechanisms mediating transient activation is well studied, how fibroblasts switch from transient to a persistently activated state and drive fibrosis and aberrant tissue repair in diseases such as
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) causes extensive global morbidity and rising rates of invasive disease, for which clinical outcomes remain poor despite antibiotic treatment of susceptible strains. This limitation of current therapy underscores the need for alternative or adjunctive approaches. Antibody-based interventions represent a promising but underexplored strategy. Historically, the streptococca
Metal oxide nanoparticles are widely used in catalysis, photovoltaics, and gas sensing, where surface structure and oxidation state strongly influence performance. This work investigates how carrier gas composition, combined with in-flight heating, can be used to control the surface properties of metal oxide nanoparticles generated via the gas-phase method, spark ablation. Sn, Zn, and Al nanoparti
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Allt fler rapporter har kommit under de senaste åren som visar på att våg- och stormklimatet har förvärrats sedan 1960-talet. Detta har oroat bland andra återförsäkringsbolag som har betalat ut allt mer pengar till stormrelaterade skador de senaste åren. Andra undersökningar har visat att det nuvarande storm- och vågklimatet inte är värre än det var i början av The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. Those that have been done are mostly global scale studies and centered on changes in storm activity during the winter season. I’m using data from a regiona
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are clinically approved for mRNA-based vaccines and liver-targeted siRNA delivery. However, poor nucleic acid delivery efficiency limits their application in extrahepatic tissues and tumors. Here, using live-cell and super-resolution microscopy, we identify multiple distinct steps of inefficiencies in the cytosolic delivery of both siRNA and mRNA cargoes. Membrane damage
We present the artillery of a well-preserved late medieval Danish-Norwegian carvel warship, Gribshunden. Probably built in the Netherlands in 1484, the ship served King Hans until sinking in June 1495. Of its original 50 or more guns, elements of 11 have been recovered and digitally recreated, and more remain on the wreck. Investigation of this site provides insights into the development of shipboWe present the artillery of a well-preserved late medieval Danish-Norwegian carvel warship, Gribshunden.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur påverkas djurplanktonsamhällen av klimatförändringar och vilken betydelse har vilostadier? Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av “Ecology of zooplankton communities: climate, dormancy and benthic-pelagic coupling”, doktorsavhandling i Limnologi vid Ekologiska institutionen, Lunds Universitet, 2003. Djurplankton är sjöars motsvarighet till betande kossor ochThis thesis describes how influences, such as top down and bottom up forces, shape zooplankton communities in shallow lakes. I have also extended the traditional food-web theory by investigating the effects of climate on total biomass, taxonomic composition, and temporal properties of zooplankton communities. A field experiment showed that the total biomass of both phytoplankton and zooplankton in
Objective: To evaluate meat intake patterns in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohorts. Design and setting: 24-Hour dietary recalls were assessed within the framework of a prospective cohort study in 27 centres across 10 European countries by means of standardised computer-assisted interviews. Subjects: In total, 22 924 women and 13 031 men aged 35-74 years.
Skiljedomsrätt är sedan urminnes tider en använd tvistelösningsmetod. Hänvisningar till skiljerätt finns att hitta i både romersk och gammalgrekisk rätt, så som Digesta, Codex Iustinianus och Novellae. Även Sverige har en lång tradition av kommersiellt skiljeförfarande och metoden har nyttjats som ända sedan Hansan etablerades. Förmodligen har skiljeförfarandet även använts för att avgöra kommersiArbitration is an immemorial dispute settlement method with references to be found in both Roman and ancient Greek law, such as Digesta, Codex Iustinianus and Novellae. Sweden also has a long tradition of commercial arbitration and it has been used as a dispute settlement method at least since the Hanseatic League was established. It is also believed that arbitration was used to settle commercial
Metangas bidrar med en signifikant andel till den rådande växthuseffekten på jorden. I nutid är den största källan till utsläpp av metangas våtmarker i jämförelse med andra naturliga utsläppskällor. Emissioner av metangas från våtmarker är beroende av klimatet och har den egenskapen att ge en positiv återkoppling till klimatändringen. Icke desto mindre finns det dock stor osäkerhet associerat med Popular science Global warming is a significant environmental problem now-a-days. Methane is a major greenhouse gas causing global warming by trapping long wave radiations from the Earth. Presently, natural wetlands are responsible for the largest amount of emissions of this gas when compared to other natural sources. Changing climate impacts the emissions from wetlands which in turn further inten
Hur mycket som än skrivs om de svenska häxprocesserna verkar vi aldrig tröttna på att höra om dem, försöka förstå dem eller förfasas över dem. Denna uppsats behandlar en av de få, relativt outforskade, delarna i de svenska häxprocessernas historia: de processer som utspelade sig på Åland mellan åren 1666–1668. Processerna har till viss del fallit mellan forskningens stolar, då Åland inte längre tiNo matter how much is written about the Swedish witch trials we never seem to get tired of hearing of them, trying to understand them and be horrified by them. This essay explores one of few, relatively unknown parts of the Swedish witch trials: the trials that took place on the Åland Islands between the years 1666-1668. Not as much attention has been paid to these trials, probably because the Åla
Det är idag vanligt förekommande att företag nyttjar en så kallad cause branding strategy för att marknadsföra sina produkter. Detta gynnar ofta både försäljningen och bilden konsumenterna får av företaget (Persis Murray, 2012, s. 84). Cause branding strategies har utvecklats och förekommer idag genom olika metoder, så kallad varuaktivism. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka feministisk varuak
The following thesis examines the work of the early swedish transplant surgeons with special regards to the question of organ procurement. Through a careful reading of letters during 1971-1986, left from one prominent swedish transplant surgeons of that time – Sven-Eric Bergentz – I investigate how clinicians sought ways to solve the controversial problem of organ procurement. The institutionaliza
Examensarbetet tar upp det välkända förhållandet att arkitekterna alltsedan professionen framträdde i Sverige sökt sig till Söderns konstskatter för att fylla i de luckor som de påvra hemmaförhållandena lämnade. Ursprunget till de långvariga och innehållsrika resorna som företogs ända in till förra sekelskiftet spåras tillbaka till de engelska Grand Tours och ännu längre och det blir tydligt hur d
Gröna tak kan minska problem med s.k. urban heat islands och kan användas för dagvattenhantering. Andra miljöfördelar som en förbättring av luftkvalitet, biodiversitet och bullerminskning finns också. Detta projekt fokuserar på lokala (kommunala) medel för att skapa en bättre miljö med extensiva gröna tak, vilka är nästan underhållsfria. Ett delområde i Lund som inkluderar Universitetet och UniverGreen roofs have the potential to mitigate problems with an urban heat island and to act as an element in stormwater management. Other environmental benefits exist as well, such as improvement of air quality, biological diversity and noise reduction. This project focuses on local community efforts to create a better environment through the use of extensive green roofs, which require almost no main
We report a new design of an acoustophoretic trapping device with significantly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial acoustic trapping systems. Acoustic trapping enables nanoparticle and extracellular vesicle (EV) enrichment without ultracentrifugation. Current commercial acoustic trapping technology uses an acoustic single-node resonance and typically operates at flow
