Complete Genome Sequence of an Antimicrobial-Producing Bacillus velezensis Sam8H1 Isolate from the Makgadikgadi Saltpans of Botswana

The global antimicrobial drug resistance crisis requires urgency in searching for more effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. Here, we present a complete circular genome sequence and a plasmid of an antimicrobial-producing isolate, Bacillus velezensis strain Sam8H1, from the Makgadikgadi saltpans in Botswana. Bioinformatic analyses revealed 12 putative secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene

Svenska skalbaggar 1. En blev två - några artsplittar bland svenska skalbaggar

Recent studies of beetle specimens deposited in collections have revealed five species new to the Swedish fauna to be hiding amongst their closely related species. In some cases, the species known to the Swedish fauna are widespread and considered common, making it easy to overlook the slight differences that separate them from the similar and less common species. Some of these species are restric

Inequality in early life: Social class differences in childhood mortality in southern Sweden, 1815–1967

This article analyses the long-term development of social class differences in infant and child mortality in an area of southern Sweden, spanning from the early stages of the mortality transition at the beginning of the nineteenth century, to the late 1960s when both infant and child mortality had reached very low levels. Our findings show that infant and child mortality was fairly equal at the be

The impact of kin proximity on net marital fertility and maternal survival in Sweden 1900-1910 – Evidence for cooperative breeding in a societal context of nuclear families, or just contextual correlations?

ObjectiveWe investigate the association between the geographic proximity of the grandparents on net marital fertility and maternal survival in Sweden, 1900–1910, within the framework of the cooperative-breeding-hypothesis.MethodsData were derived from Swedish full-count censuses (1880–1910) and the Swedish Death Index. Married couples were linked to their parental households. Poisson and logistic

Applications of Deep Learning in Medical Image Analysis : Grading of Prostate Cancer and Detection of Coronary Artery Disease

A wide range of medical examinations are using analysis of images from different types of equipment. Using artificial intelligence, the assessments could be done automatically. This can have multiple benefits for the healthcare; reduce workload for medical doctors, decrease variations in diagnoses and cut waiting times for the patient as well as improve the performance. The aim of this thesis has

The use of methadone in pediatric cancer pain - a retrospective study from a governmental cancer center in India

Background: The management of cancer-related pain relies on access to opioids. When regular opioids are not tolerated, or are insufficient, methadone is an affordable and effective analgesic. Aim: The aim of the project was to describe the pattern of use and clinical experience of methadone in pediatric cancer pain at a governmental cancer hospital in Hyderabad, one of the four Indian cancer cente

Technology and innovation trajectories in the Rwandan Agriculture sector: Are value chains an option?

Technology and innovation are important in addressing complex problems in the agricultural sector in many developing communities. However, ways and mechanisms to integrate them in the agricultural sector are still a challenge due to the lack of clear pathways and trajectories. Value chains are seen as a strong policy instrument to increase profitability in the agricultural sector; there is also de

Plasma osteopontin versus intima media thickness of the common carotid arteries in well-characterised patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Objective: The progress of accelerated atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is incompletely understood. Circulating osteopontin (OPN) is increased in autoimmune conditions, e.g. SLE, and its serum concentration wasrecently reported to associate with subclinical atherosclerosis in SLE, as measured by carotid intima-media thickness.The aim of this study was to investigate whether OP

Keeping it clean : Graffiti and the commodification of a moral panic

Whereas subcultures such as punk, metal, skate, goth and emo have all been the target of moral panics in the past, the conditions that sparked these moral panics have since become banal and normalized, in line with Stanley Cohen’s claim that moral panics per definition tend to be short-lived. The moral panic about subcultural graffiti in Sweden, however, has proved remarkably consistent. Drawing f

The use of Methadone in adult patients with cancer-pain at a governmental cancer centre in India

Background: Management of cancer-related pain relies on the access to opioids. When regular opioids as morphine are not tolerated or are insufficient, adjuvant opioids as methadone are an affordable and effective analgesic. Aim: The aim of the project was to describe the pattern of use and clinical experiences of methadone in patients with cancer-related pain at a low-resource hospital in Hyderaba

Spatially different annual cycles but similar haemosporidian infections in distant populations of collared sand martins

BackgroundPopulations of long-distance migratory birds experience different environments and are consequently exposed to different parasites throughout their annual cycles. Though, specific whereabouts and accompanied host-parasite interactions remain unknown for most migratory passerines. Collared sand martins (Riparia riparia) breeding in the western Palaearctic spend the nonbreeding period in A

Social mättnad, relationell hunger : strategisk kommunikation i förändring när matindustrin utmanas av folklig misstro

The purpose of the dissertation is to provide new knowledge on how strategic communication can be understood and practiced when companies and authorities are challenged by digitally organized citizens who mobilize dissatisfaction and question traditional experts. The dissertation is based on a relational perspective, which means interest in how different actors constitute themselves and relate to

Is Cloud RAN a Feasible Option for Industrial Communication Network?

Cloud RAN (C-RAN) is a promising paradigm for the next generation radio access network infrastructure, which offers centralised and coordinated base-band signal processing in a cloud-based BBU pool. This requires extremely low latency responses to achieve real-time signal processing. In this paper, we analysed the challenges to introduce cloud native model for signal processing in C-RAN. We studie

Humanistisk kunskap och kompetens : En rapport om alumners nytta av studier i humaniora och teologi

Rapporten Humanistisk kunskap och kompetens presenterar och analyserar resultaten från en omfattande alumnundersökning riktad till Lunds universitets humaniora- och teologistudenter genomförd 2019. Undersökningen hade ett särskilt fokus på arbetsmarknad och arbetslivskoppling, men ställde även bredare frågor om humanistiska kompetenser och identitet.I rapportens första del redovisas vad alumnerna
