In the female turnip moth, Agrotis segetum, a pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) stimulates sex pheromone biosynthesis which exhibits a daily rhythm. Here we show data supporting a circadian rhythm in PBAN release from the corpora cardiaca, which we propose regulates the endogenous rhythm in sex pheromone biosynthesis. This conclusion is drawn as the observed daily rhythm in PBA
A systematic review of radiation therapy trials in several turnout types was performed by The Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care (SBU). The procedures for evaluation of the scientific literature are described separately (Acta Oncol 2003; 42: 357-365). This synthesis of the literature on radiation therapy for rectal cancer is based on data from 42 randomized trials and 3 meta-a
The efficacy of a short (Group I) and a prolonged (Group II) course with ciprofloxacin was assessed in patients undergoing transurethral prostatic resection for benign hyperplasia or cancer of the prostate and compared with that of controls without antibiotic (Group III). Both regiments significantly reduced the frequency of postoperative bacteriuria (p less than 0.01) and of severe infectious com
In this article, I investigate the slowly changing territorial landscape of a seemingly typical Swedish Million program housing area (from the record years 1961-1975), Norra Fäladen in Lund. The area has, through the decades, been subject to a slow, but steady gentrification and densification including a decrease in rental housing and the building on former park areas. Through the decades we have
Myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome has a better prognosis than sporadic pediatric acute myeloid leukemia. Most cases of myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome are characterized by additional cytogenetic changes besides the constitutional trisomy 21, but their potential prognostic impact is not known. We, therefore, conducted an international retrospective study of clinical characteristics, cytogenetics,
Pinhole collimation is the most common method of high-resolution preclinical single photon emission computed tomography imaging. The collimators are usually constructed from dense materials with high atomic numbers, such as gold and platinum, which are expensive and not always flexible in the fabrication step. In this work, the authors have investigated the properties of a fusible alloy called Ros
Study Design. Observational cohort study. Objective. To evaluate by MRI whether a vertebral fracture during childhood is a risk factor for degeneration of adjacent discs. Summary of Background Data. Several studies infer that trauma is a major cause of disc degeneration. Only 1 study has by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluated disc degeneration in children with a former thoracic or lumbar ve
De senaste årtiondena har vi sett en ökad förståelse för hur strukturella ojämlikheter mellan könen inom flyktingrätten har lett till att kvinnor systematiskt har missgynnats vid beviljandet av flyktingskap i enlighet med 1951 års Flyktingkonvention. I Sverige ledde det här till en lagändring av Utlänningslagen år 2005, då könsrelaterad förföljelse lades till som en grund för flyktingskap. Den härThere has been an increased awareness during the past decades of how structural gender inequalities have negatively affected women’s ability to claim refugee status as defined in the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. In Sweden, this discussion led to an amendment of the Immigration Act in 2005, where gender-related persecution was added as a ground for refugee status. This pa
This study’s purpose is to find out in what ways do healthcare providers in Sweden establish their B2B partnerships. This study seeks understanding of the practical deployment of relationship marketing as a process. To fulfill this purpose, in this study two theories are used – network theory and commitment-trust theory. It follows the qualitative research analytical design and the main tool for g
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
This study aimed to identify which management and leadership soft skills project managers in project-driven industries are required to have, to contend with complexity and change. To gain a holistic understanding, this knowledge was generated through four different research methods: literature research, interviews with twelve experts across the automotive and IT industries, interviews with five cl
Compensation for sickness absence reached a peak in Sweden by the late 1980s. A generous sickness benefit system was met by high levels of absence. By the early 1990s, the Swedish economy was in deep crisis. In response, the Swedish government restricted sickness benefits and privatized short-term sick leave payouts. This thesis asks whether sick leave reforms reduced Swedish sickness absence and
According to a recent report from the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, the city of Kristianstad is considered as one of the most vulnerable in Sweden regarding consequences of a flood. Being protected by a barrier system, a failure would most likely have serious impact on the city. As parts of the city are situated below sea level, a heavy rainfall may cause considerable consequences since ther
Many students struggle when transitioning from upper secondary school to higher education. While there is a substantial amount of research regarding the difference in education from isolated perspectives, little research has investigated the connection between different perspectives. This paper studies the relation between language competencies and language learning strategies within the EFL conte
Laundry as a household activity has been subject to (un)sustainable consumption studies. The majority of those studies are rooted in mainstream approaches to (un)sustainable consumption focusing on either changing individuals (e.g., their decisions, behaviors, habits) or system (e.g., infrastructure, technology). Moreover, the laundry has been predominantly studied as a washing activity. This rese
This paper examines the impact of zombie firms on healthy companies’ growth indicators in the Swedish market. By utilising fixed-effects regression analysis and analysing a comprehensive data set, the paper aims to shed light on the dynamics between zombies’ effects on nonzombies’ development. The findings indicate that zombies have limited effects on healthy companies in Sweden. Contrary to previ
This essay sets out to contribute to a discussion about whether the use of bicycles can work as a tool for place experience, and as an element to greater understanding of place and integration. The research takes place in Malmö, and the aim is to open up for discussion whether the social factor should be added alongside ecological and economical factors when planning for bicycles. The theoretical
