Glycophospholipids combine the structural versatility of phospholipids and carbohydrates, but their potential as excipients and performance in other related applications remains largely unexplored due to their low natural abundance. We have synthesized four novel phosphatidyl saccharide conjugates with different carbohydrate head groups; glucose, galactose, fructose and xylose by using a Phospholi
Denna studie fokuserar på Säkerhetspolisens hotbildsframställningar av den våldsfrämjande islamistiska extremismen och studien syftar till att undersöka hur hotbildsframställningarna förändrats efter terrorattentatet på Drottninggatan i Stockholm den 7 april 2017. Studien är en abduktiv och teorikonsumerande fallstudie som använder sig av en kombination av säkerhetiseringsteorin och gestaltningste
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Under de senaste 300 åren har jordbrukslandskapet i Sverige genomgått stora förändringar. Detta började med att bönderna i slutet av 1600-talet erhöll en stor del av adelns jord. De fick således förvalta sin egen vinst, vilket resulterade i en rad nyodlingar och tekniska hjälpmedel. I början av 1900-talet introducerades konstgödslet och efter andra världskriget Human-induced eutrophication has rapidly become one of the most important environmental issues. The problem is largely due to the shift in agricultural practices. Farming methods have become more efficient during the last 300 years. Watercourses have been straightened out and wetlands have been reduced to increase agricultural landuse. Since the end of the 1940s, fertilization has increased dramat
The purpose of this study was to examine five Swedish soldiers' experiences of offensive war technique while serving for 6 months in Afghanistan. In particular, focus was on their experiences of dealing with mental stress and their need for support before, during and after their mission. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five individuals who had served in Afghanistan between the y
De senaste femton åren har den radikala frihetliga vänstern i Umeå utvecklats från slutenhet och militans till öppenhet och pragmatisk inblandning i lokala konflikter. Uppsatsen intresserar sig för hur dessa förändringar korresponderar mot utvecklingsprocesser i rörelsens interna liv. Specifikt analyseras på vilka sätt rörelsens kollektiva självförståelse som politisk aktör konstruerats, hur dess
7,3 miljoner flickor under 18 år föder varje år. En av tre flickor i länder med låg- eller medelinkomst kommer att gifta sig före 18 års ålder. Detta är en kränkning mot flickor och deras mänskliga rättigheter. United Nations Population Fund, UNFPA arbetar med att stärka kvinnors och unga människors möjligheter att leva ett hälsosammare och ett mer produktivt liv. Med detta i åtanke är syftet att
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I Arktis finns det enorma lager av kol som ligger i och under permafrosten, vilket är frusen mark som inte har tinat på två år. Mycket tyder på att delar av dessa lager är känsliga för en temperaturökning och idag sker en pågående uppvärmning. Arktis värms snabbare än övriga jorden på grund av att vit reflekterande is och snö smälter, vilket resulterar i att hav The permafrost area in the Arctic region contains vast carbon stocks within and beneath the permafrost, which is frozen ground that has not thawed in two years. These carbon stocks are sensitive to ongoing global warming. When the white and reflective snow and ice melts, the remaining land and sea surfaces absorb more shortwave radiation and get warmer. Heat transport to the Arctic will also incre
Efterfrågan på sockerrör har de senaste åren ökat i takt med att fler länder strävar efter att minska sitt beroende av fossila bränslen. Som en följd har antalet sockerrörsodlingar kraftigt ökat i Brasilien vilket medfört en oro inför vilka effekter denna omvandling av ursprunglig mark till sockerrörsodling har på lokala hydrologin och klimatet. I det här arbetet har påverkan av sockerrörs expanThe demand for sugarcane has increased in recent years as more countries desire to reduce its dependence of fossil fuels. Therefore, the number of sugarcane plantations has rapidly increased in Brazil which raises concerns for what effect these conversion of original land to sugarcane plantations have on local hydrology and climate. In this thesis, the effects of sugarcane expansion on surface ru
De senaste åren har den digitaliserade gigekonomin och de nya arbetsformerna plattformsarbete och egenanställd etablerats i Sverige och övriga EU-länder. Gemensamt är att själva arbetet fragmentiserats och består av korta uppdrag åt ett flertal uppdragsgivare som förmedlas via en digital delningsplattform eller app. Den som utför en arbetsprestation gör det antingen som anställd eller som företaga
Ageing societies are facing major housing challenges. Understanding and addressing older adults' diverse housing needs and preferences are crucial. Having access to suitable and sustainable housing options can improve social cohesion, independence, health, and well-being. Participatory processes in housing development can enhance inclusion and democratic participation. This study uses Ramlösa Port
Background. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCcrea ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C has been proposed as a biomarker. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to
Despite low or undetectable plasma viral load, people living with HIV-2 (PLWH2) typically progress toward AIDS. The driving forces behind HIV-2 disease progression and the role of viremia are still not known, but low-level replication in tissues is believed to play a role. To investigate the impact of viremic and aviremic HIV-2 infection on target and bystander cell pathology, we used data-indepen
We created an AI support for diagnosis in dyspneic adults at time of triage in the emergency department.Complete data from an entire regional health care system was analyzed, to find AI-derived, unknown, important diagnostic predictors. Most important were prior diagnoses of heart failure or COPD, daily smoking, atrial fibrillation/flutter, life difficulties and maternal care.Sensitivity for AHF,
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a major bacterial pathogen responsible for both local and systemic infections in humans. The molecular mechanisms that contribute to disease heterogeneity remain poorly understood. Here we show that the transition from a local to a systemic GAS infection is paralleled by pathogen-driven alterations in IgG homeostasis. Using animal models and a combination of sensitiv
BACKGROUND: Diagnostic testing is essential for disease surveillance and test-trace-isolate efforts. We aimed to investigate if residential area sociodemographic characteristics and test accessibility were associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing rates.METHODS: We included 426 224 patient-initiated COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction tests from Uppsala County in Sweden from 24 Ju
In the present study, we demonstrate an acoustofluidic trapping technique based on the standing bulk acoustic waves (S-BAW) generated inside a uniquely designed chamber - the 'shaped trap' that enables the particle to experience the axial primary radiation force (A-PRF) along the flow direction as the main trapping force.
Knowledge of human fetal blood development and how it differs from adult blood is highly relevant to our understanding of congenital blood and immune disorders and childhood leukemia, of which the latter can originate in utero. Blood formation occurs in waves that overlap in time and space, adding to heterogeneity, which necessitates single-cell approaches. Here, a combined single-cell immunopheno
Physics classrooms are still clearly marked by practices belonging to a certaineducational past, while teachers are increasingly being asked to teach in lignment with current equality, diversity and inclusion agendas. At the core of this temporal disconnect are teachers’ practices, which are strongly marked by normative regimes in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, class and other social factors. M
