In this study, we simulated heterotrophic CO2 (Rh) fluxes at six European peatland sites using the ECOSSE model and compared them to estimates of Rh made from eddy covariance (EC) measurements. The sites are spread over four countries with different climates, vegetation and management. Annual Rh from the different sites ranged from 110 to 540 g C m(-2). The maximum annual Rh occurred when the wate
The diversity and community composition of moths (both macro- and micromoths) at 32 sites, representing a wide range of habitat types (forests, grasslands, wetlands, agricultural and urban areas) within a restricted region in central Scania,southern-most Sweden, was investigated by use of light moth traps and compared with vascular plant species richness and habitat characteristics. The results re
Cancer har kommit att bli en av de största folksjukdomarna i den industrialiserade västvärlden och enbart i Sverige insjuknar över 55 000 personer varje år. Det faktum att var tredje person kommer att drabbas av en cancersjukdom någon gång under sin livstid innebär, förutom ett stort mänskligt lidande, att samhället står inför stora folkhälsopolitiska utmaningar att nå medborgarna med sina hälsofr
Popular Abstract in Swedish (Summary in Swedish) Urininkontinens är ett stort folkhälsoproblem. Ungefär 10 % av kvinnor i 40-årsåldern är drabbade och andelen inkontinenta ökar med ökande ålder. Den vanligaste formen av urininkontinens är så kallad ansträngningsinkontinens med de typiska symptomen urinläckage vid hosta, tunga lyft och gymnastik. I uttalade fall kan dock läckage uppstå redan vid daThe etiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is unclear. By linking three nationwide medical registries we evaluated maternal and obstetric factors associated with later SUI surgery. Surgery for SUI was strongly associated with vaginal delivery, but not with pregnancy as such. Maternal conditions and interventions during delivery modified the association. Proper evaluation of treatment
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i levern kan vara av två typer - antingen kan den ha sitt ursprung från levern och kallas primär levercancer eller också är den en spridning av tumör till levern från en annan plats i kroppen, s k dottersvulst eller metastas. Idag är kirurgi av tumörer i levern förstahandsbehandling, men tyvärr är det bara 1/10 patienter som har tumör i levern som kan bli aktuellLocal treatment of a tumour is of interest from a number of perspectives. It is focused on reducing the tumour volume with minimal trauma, inducing tumour immunity and is a potential component of a combination therapy against tumours. Interstitial laser thermotherapy (ILT) has turned out to be a method well suited for selective local destruction of malignant tumours. This thesis is based on an exp

Active site titration and activity measurements were performed in hexane on lyophilised lipase preparations containing different amounts of phosphate buffer and lipase immobilised on porous polypropylene. Lyophilisation of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase with large quantities of phosphate salts (200 mm) increased the specific activity fourfold, and the number of rapidly titratable active sites incr
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have drastically improved the prognosis for several cancer patients, but still the exact underlying mechanism behind cancer immune escape and the role of individual immune cell populations remains poorly understood. Thus, further insights into the level of immune cell infiltration in cancers, their functional role, level of activation and maturity are warranted in orde
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en snabbt växande folksjukdom som redan har drabbat 200 miljoner världen runt. Det finns två typer av sjukdomen: typ I samt typ II diabetes. Den förstnämnda drabbar vanligtvis de unga och beror på en s.k. autoimmun reaktion där kroppens egna immunförsvar av okänd anledning plötsligt inte känner igen insulincellerna och börjar attackera dem. Typ II diabetes uDiabetes affects around 200 million people worldwide. Curing diabetes would require the prevention of autoimmune destruction of beta cells and restoration of the beta cell mass restored either through regeneration or transplantation of the insulin producing cells. Islet transplantation according to the Edmonton protocol have been the most promising therapeutic option for Diabetes type I patients,
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent lymphoma subtype. In Sweden 450 new cases are diagnosed annually. With modern anthracycline-containing chemotherapy DLBCL is potentially curable, with an estimated overall cure rate of approximately 50% for patients with advanced stage disease. Through molecular profiling of DLBCL the ?cell-of-origin concept? has been established: patients
Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteopetros är ett samlingsnamn för en grupp av sjukdomar som påverkar benombildningen i vår kropp. Denna term kan lätt förväxlas med den betydligt vanligare sjukdomen osteoporos (benskörhet). Trots ordens snarlikhet skiljer sig dessa sjukdomar sig avsevärt från varandra. Osteo är latin för ben och medan poros kan översättas med porös betyder petros sten. Även om de oliThe goal in this thesis is development of gene therapy for malignant infantile osteopetrosis (IMO), a rare but severe genetic bone disease. The concept of osteopetrosis implies dysfunction or lack of osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells in our body, resulting in failure of normal bone breakdown. Although involved in bone remodeling, osteoclasts are of hematopoietic origin and may potentially be t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pyrimidiner är DNA-byggstenar som är essentiella för cellens överlevnad och delning. I mänskliga celler finns pyrimidiner att tillgå antingen genom återupptag eller genom biosyntes (nysyntes). Biosyntesen av pyrimidiner sker i flera steg och i ett av dem spelar enzymet Dihydroorotat dehydrogenas (DHODH) en avgörande roll genom att katalysera en oxidationsreaktion. När cIn the first part of the PhD work, small chemical entities (fragments) found to inhibit human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), were chemically optimized. As part of an ample program at Active Biotech to find new drugs against autoimmune diseases, expanded fragments were repeatedly designed, synthesized and evaluated in a human DHODH assay. Potent inhibitors were identified within three classe
Within clinical diagnostics there is always a need for innovative methods that are rapid, sensitive, and more accurate. In this study two bioanalytical systems have been evaluated for pentraxin 3 (PTX3) detection. PTX3 is a blood biomarker involved in the native immune system that can indicate sepsis, a disease that currently lacks a fast and sensitive analytical method for early detection. Curren
Three well-known dynamic acidification models (MAGIC, SAFE, SMART) were applied to data sets from five Integrated Monitoring sites in Europe. The calibrated models were used in a policy-oriented framework to predict the long-term soil acidification of these background forest sites, given different scenarios of future deposition of S and N. Emphasis was put on deriving realistic site-specific scena
Predicting the probable survival for a patient can be very challenging for many diseases. In many forms of cancer, the choice of treatment can be directly impacted by the estimated risk for the patient. This thesis explores different methods to predict the patient's survival chances using artificial neural networks (ANN). ANN is a machine learning technique inspired by how neurons in the brain fu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Malaria och tuberkulos är två av de mest dödliga infektionssjukdomarna i världen. Biologiskt är de två infektionerna mycket olika; malaria orsakas av en encellig parasit, en plasmodium, som sprids mellan personer med hjälp av myggbett, och tuberkulos av en bakterie som sprids via upphostade bakterier. Vidare drabbar malaria vanligtvis blodomloppet medan tuberkulos oftasMalaria and tuberculosis are two of the most deadly infectious diseases that exist. Both diseases predominantly affect the most vunerable parts of society. Additionally the treatment of both diseases are complicated by growing and spreading resistance against the drugs used to treat them. Chloroquine was once described as a wonder drug for its combination of efficacy, low price and tolerable side
Vid de flesta processer som innefattar insamlande av data kan det ibland uppstå problem som gör att all data inte samlas in korrekt. När detta händer uppstår det tomma platser i datan där värden saknas. Det finns många sätt att hantera dessa tomma platser och i många fall kan man bortse från dem. Om ett komplett dataset behövs för analys kan så kallade imputationsmetoder användas för att fylla i dImputation of data is the process of filling in missing values in an incomplete data set. Missing data is a common problem in many fields, not least in clinical research. This report aims to evaluate different methods for imputing missing data in health records of dialysis patients. The imputed data will, in a related project, be used to predict hospitalizations of dialysis patients. The hope is t
