Controlling growth of a cell How incredible would it be to control growth of cells? One of the most basic mechanisms in life. This knowledge would be especially useful for treating threatening cells such as cancer cells or pathogenic bacteria. It would be lifesaving to understand and determine their growth. Here the focus is on growth of bacteria, particularly those belonging to the genus Strepto
Popular science summary: Having problems with statistics? Try Bayesian! While many of us are afraid of the abstruse concepts and annoyed by a lot of limitations in classical statistics, Bayesian methods provides user-friendly way to do statistics. They are intuitive, explicit and have a wide range of applications. In conservation planning, different sources of evidence need to be integrated to
Popular science summary Do metformin and phenformin cause toxicity to mitochondria of human blood cells? Metformin and phenformin are anti-diabetic drugs associated with lactic acidosis as a rare side effect. This side effect is thought to be due to drug-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. In this project, the mitochondrial toxicity of metformin and phenformin was assessed in human blood cells. I
Klimatet har varit relativt stabilt under den nuvarande interglaciala epoken (Holocen) som inleddes för ungefär 11 700 år sedan. Genom klimatrekonstruktioner från olika geologiska arkiv såsom iskärnor, sjösediment och torvmossar har det ändå påvisats att snabba förändringar i klimatet har inträffat under denna epok. En sådan tidsperiod inträffade för omkring 2800 år sedan och den är intressant ur Geological archives have shown periods of abrupt climate change in the relatively stable Holocene epoch (last ca. 11 700 years). One of these periods was around 2800 cal BP. Several records, mainly from Europe, reveal a shift towards wetter, cooler and windier conditions. There are, however, indications for a global extent of the climate change. The climate change coincides with a distinct increas
BACKGROUND: The transition to undertaking rehabilitation in the home or local neighbourhood calls for an extensive understanding of which aspects of the built environment are important for people with stroke.OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study aims to explore how home and local neighbourhood environments support or hinder rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke from the perspectives of vario
From Strands to Wires All the genetic information required to develop and maintain an organism is packed tightly into the molecule known as DNA. Determining the order of the four bases, which are the building blocks of DNA, enables the identification of a DNA segment. Modern disease diagnostics use this identification method, known as DNA sequencing, to inspect genetic integrity. Thus, it is vita
Food for Thought, or Thought for Food? Obesity affects 12 % of adults worldwide (GBD 2015 Obesity Collaborators, 2017). This number is only expected to increase in the future. Serious risks are associated with obesity such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and type two diabetes (Pantalone et al., 2017). There are not currently effective and safe methods to aid weight loss (Ruban et al., 2019
Land cover governs the biogeophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks between the land surface and atmosphere. Holocene vegetation-atmosphere interactions are of particular interest, both to understand the climate effects of intensifying human land use and as a possible explanation for the Holocene temperature conundrum, a widely studied mismatch between simulated and reconstructed temperatures. Prog
Lund University is now taking the next step towards a more secure IT environment. To protect ourselves against today's increased threats, secure passwords alone are not enough; we also need strong authentication to log in to our IT services. Currently, this only applies to Lund University staff, not students.Strong authentication is a way of signing in to an IT service that makes it harder for som

The members of the genus Caldicellulosiruptor have the potential for future integration into a biorefinery system due to their capacity to generate hydrogen close to the theoretical limit of 4 mol H2/mol hexose, use a wide range of sugars and can grow on numerous lignocellulose hydrolysates. However, members of this genus are unable to survive in high sugar concentrations, limiting their ability t
Carbon capture using amine-based absorption is an established technology for the separation of gaseous CO2. It is used in the upgrading of gaseous fuels, and it has also been suggested that it could play a crucial role in the mitigation of climate change through post-combustion carbon capture and sequestration (CCS), and by creating carbon sinks through bioenergy CCS. One drawback of the existing
Background: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a cardiovascular dysautonomic condition affecting predominantly young women. POTS is defined as the presence of chronic symptoms of orthostatic intolerance associated with an increased heart rate ≥30 bpm, or heart rate exceeding 120 bpm, within 10 minutes of standing or head-up tilt in the absence of orthostatic hypotension. The etio
Quantitative reconstructions of past land cover are necessary to determine the processes involved in climate-human-land-cover interactions. We present the first temporally continuous and most spatially extensive pollen-based land-cover reconstruction for Europe over the Holocene (last 11g€¯700g€¯calg€¯yrg€¯BP). We describe how vegetation cover has been quantified from pollen records at a 11 spatia
Fashions come and go. Industrialized building (IB) is no exception, having its roots far in the past and appearing in just about every type of construction, including infrastructure, at one time or another. Industrialization, as a term applied to the production of goods, can be on a macro-scale as in the case of large assemblies and near-complete structures. But it also applies to myriad products
Background: The aim of this study was to describe out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors' ability to participate in activities of everyday life and society, including return to work. The specific aim was to evaluate potential effects of cognitive impairment. Methods and Results: Two hundred eighty-seven OHCA survivors included in the TTM trial (Target Temperature Management) and 119 match
