New, highly sensitive, biosensor concepts make it possible to assay biomacromolecules at concentrations that previously were far below the limit of detection. The previous generation of assays used in quality control situations during biotechnological production was designed primarily for monitoring target molecules, which typically appeared in high concentrations. Hence, novel analytical techniqu
Contradictory results have been reported on the relationship between orthostatic hypotension (OH) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
One of the most critical functions of the various Proteomics organizations is the training of young scientists and the dissemination of information to the general scientific community. The education committees of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) and the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) together with the other local proteomics associations are therefore launching a joint Tutorial Progra
PV power production is becoming more and more common and one can easily imagine that a so called boom is near in southern Sweden. As the distribution grids are designed for power flow out to the households, and not the other way around, the question is what will happen that sunny day when the households in a neighborhood produce more electricity than they consume. This master thesis project was ca
Bakgrund: Kvalificerad personal är av yttersta vikt ur ett samhällsperspektiv för att kunna erbjuda invånarna högkvalitativ vård och främjar hälsa. Handledningen till nyanställda sjuksköterskor kan ibland bli bristfällig och i värsta fall utebli vilket leder till att patientsäkerheten hotas, då nyanställda sjuksköterskor blir otrygga i sin yrkesroll. Forskning finns inom handledning och handledare
AbstractBackground: The view of delirium has changed considerably over the last decade and delirium is now a very topical issue within the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. Delirium has proved to be common in critically ill patients and is manifested as acute changes in the mental status with reduced cognitive ability, incoherent thought patterns, impaired consciousness, agitation and acute confu
Despite having been established since the 1970s as a school of theatre promoting a method of emancipation through facilitating communication about unequal power structures, Theatre of the Oppressed has not had not yet been comprehensively researched in terms of its emancipatory qualities. This paper examines a plethora of studies describing effective use of Theatre of the Oppressed while highlight
Vertebral deformities are a common consequence of osteoporosis and are known to decrease quality of life. The Qualeffo-41 is a quality-of-life questionnaire especially developed for measuring quality of life in patients with vertebral deformities. It consists of 41 questions arranged in five domains: pain, physical function, social function, general health perception, and mental function. The obje
Marine ecosystems are consisted with variety of life, accounting for over 80% of the Earth's biodiversity. This rich biodiversity in marine environment includes more than 30,000 species of fish. Additionally, marine biological resources are reservoirs of numerous bioactive compounds with various physiological functions such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiaging, antibacterial, a
Vi är forskargruppen Rättigheter, regleringar och samhälle vid Avdelningen för fas-tighetsvetenskap, Institutionen för teknik och samhälle, LTH, Lunds universitet. Vi har bedrivit och bedriver forskning om regleringen av skogsbruk, mestadels ur ett rättsekonomiskt perspektiv. Vi har bl.a. studerat tillämpningen av Artskyddsförord-ningen och Århuskonventionen. I vår forskning har vi kunnat konst
Higher education for refugees is garnering greater attention worldwide as a means of countering the negative effects of displacement, particularly in response to the Syria crisis. This thesis contributes to literature seeking to understand the psychosocial outcomes of higher education for refugees. Through the theoretical lens of subjective well-being, which prioritises individuals’ perceptions of
Oral direct inhibitors (ODIs) of thrombin and factor Xa are now approved as anticoagulant drugs. The first two drugs to complete phase III clinical trials for thromboprophylaxis in orthopaedic surgery and treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism were dabigatran and rivaroxaban. These small molecules are given at fixed dose with no requirement for monitoring as pharm
Background: Head computed tomography (CT) is a guideline recommended method to predict functional outcome after cardiac arrest (CA), but standardized criteria for evaluation are lacking. To date, no prospective trial has systematically validated methods for diagnosing hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) on CT after CA. We present a protocol for validation of pre-specified radiological criteria
Objectives: There is a lack of consensus around the definition of delivery by cesarean section (CS) on maternal request, and clinical practice varies across and within countries. Previous economic evaluations have focused on specific populations and selected complications. Our aim was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of CS on maternal request compared with planned vaginal birth in a Swedish cont
Droughts present a significant global challenge, particularly to forest ecosystems in regions such as eastern New South Wales, Australia, which is known for its dry climate and frequent, intense droughts. Recent studies have indicated a notable increase in tree mortality and canopy browning across this area, especially during the recent extreme drought period culminating in the Black Summer of 201
Over the past two decades, caesarean section rates have been steadily increasing with rates are now approaching 55% in some European countries. While caesarean section remains one of the most critical obstetric interventions, often lifesaving for both mother and newborn, it also carries significant risks for maternal and neonatal health. The growing reliance on caesarean birth is further linked to
Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) face an approximately 30 % risk of thrombosis post-diagnosis. However, there remains significant knowledge gaps regarding causative mechanisms, and there is a lack of specific antithrombotic guidelines. This systematic review aims to examine the existing literature regarding the mechanisms contributing to thrombosis risk in SLE, focusing on five pre
Effluent wastewater contains organic micropollutants (OMPs) that harm aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) need to expand their facilities with advanced water treatment technologies. Water scarcity and improved effluent quality is encouraging the reuse of treated effluent. This study thus has a dual purpose: first, to evaluate OMP removal using two technique combinati
