The new for science genus Loekoeslaszloa S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, confirmed by three gene phylogeny of the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the Teloschistaceae based on nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU sequences, and ten new to science species from Eastern Asia, i.e. from South Korea: Bacidina loekoesiana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Fauriea jejuensis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J.-S. Hur, Gyalecta ulleungdoensi
While surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of peripheral nerve injuries, it is not a comprehensive approach, and outcome is unsatisfactory, especially sensory function. The present aim was to translate recent findings about stem- and progenitor cells to improve regenerative outcome, where the cells have to be autologous, available within the same surgical procedure, and minimally manipulated. Gra
This Ph.D. project in artistic research is concerned with the function of gesture in traditional Vietnamese music. Building on gender analysis of musical performance in TV shows, and further on autoethnographic inquiry throughout the artistic projects, the artistic output articulates a critical understanding of these practices. The aims of the project are to investigate the social function and mea
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT). The mainstream literature suggests that sophisticated CBT (SCBT) will best guide organizations in evaluating important strategic investments. Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) choose to go against that “wisdom” and choose non-sophisticated CBT (NSCBT).Instead of following The aim of this dissertation is to explore the drivers of practitioners’ choices of capital budgeting techniques (CBT).

Digitala läkarbesök har potential att avlasta den traditionella vården, men kan också leda till ökad vårdanvändning.Invånare i Region Skåne som använde digitala vårdtjänster 2016–2018 kontaktade även fysiska vårdcentraler oftare än andra invånare och besökte akutmottagning minst lika ofta.Resultaten består efter justering för tidigare vårdanvändande, sjuklighet (vissa diagnoser), ålder, kön och inSince 2016, a number of companies offering primary care services via chats or video calls have entered the Swedish primary care market. This is the first study to investigate whether these services replace other primary care services or if they induce more care and potentially even increase the workload of traditional caregivers. Using administrative care register data from a Swedish region, we fi
Non-specific structural chromosomal aberrations (CAs) observed in peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy individuals can be either chromosome-type aberrations (CSAs) or chromatid-type aberrations (CTAs) depending on the stage of cell division they are induced in and mechanism of formation. It is important to study the genetic basis of chromosomal instability as it is a marker of genotoxic exposur
Alkaliskt sfingomyelinas, en antiinflammatorisk faktor som kan motverka colit och colorektal cancer Rui-Dong Duan, Erik Hertervig, Åke NilssonBakgrund: Borstbrämsenzymet alkaliskt sfingomyelinas (alk-SMas) som vi upptäckt, renat och klonat hydrolyserar sfingomyelin (SM) och den proinflammatoriska glycerofosfolipiden platelet activating factor (PAF). Metaboliter av SM är anticarcinogena och inaktiv
Background: The substitution of bisphenol A (BPA) by bisphenol B (BPB), a very close structural analog, stresses the need to assess its potential endocrine properties.Objective: This analysis aimed to investigate whether BPB has endocrine disruptive properties in humans and in wildlife as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) definition used in the regulatory field, that is, a) adverse ef
This thesis concerns the theoretical analysis of thermoelectric transport properties and single electron sources in mesoscopic conductors. Wepropose two types of thermoelectric heat engines and analyze them with thehelp of performance quantifiers. We also investigate and compare theproperties of different single electron sources, focusing on their coupledcharge and energy transport. As a common de
Handelsbranschen befinner sig mitt i en tid av stora omfattande förändringar, vad gäller till exempel människors ändrade köpmönster, digitalisering, urbanisering och globalisering . En av de stora konsekvenserna av dessa förändringar är förändringen i relationen mellan handel och plats.Detta har varit utgångspunkten för forskningsprogrammet ”Retail Destination” vars resultat redovisas i denna skri
El Sistema, the originally Venezuelan music teaching movement is spreading worldwide, suggesting Western classical music as a tool for counteracting poverty and segregation. In Sweden, this represents an interesting and perhaps pro- voking twist, as the hegemony of classical music in music teacher education has since long been replaced by the hegemony of popular music. Based on eldwork during the
I kolonin Danska Västindien utnjyttades förslavade kvinnor inte bara som arbetskraft, de uttnyttjades också sexuellt. Möjligheterna till motstånd var så gott som obefinntliga. Ändå kämpade slavkvinnor för rätten till att bestämma över egen kropp.
Early models of radicalisation of belief and the use of violence were described in terms of progressive linear models; staircases (Moghaddam, 2005), pathways (McCauley & Moskalenko, 2008) and conveyor belts (see Pankhurst, 2013). In association with the different proposed models, definitions of radicalisation are often chosen by the researcher, resulting in inconsistencies within theliterature
The present invention provides methods that increases the graft survival rate of pancreatic islets after pancreatic islet transplantation, maintains the survival of pancreatic islets ex vivo, and reduce the number of transplanted pancreatic islets required for normalizing blood glucose levels. When performing pancreatic islet transplantation, by pre-incubating pancreatic islets with stem cells or
Urethral obstruction in cats is an emergency that without adequate intervention may progress to uremia and death of the patient. Prolonged distension of the bladder will result in loss of contractile function and consequently, bladderatonia and this can become permanent. It is concluded that the pre-pubic urethrostomy in feline is effective for correction of urethral stenosis even afte previous pe
