Hälsorelaterad livskvalitet vid inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom

The care of IBD patients aims to achieve the best possible health. The treatment goals in IBD should therefore, in addition to stable control of intestinal inflammation, also consider health-related quality of life (HRQL) and extraintestinal complications. Fatigue is an underrecognized array of symptoms that need more attention and, if possible, treatment. Iron deficiency is very common in IBD pat

Assessing the airborne stability of influenza A virus

Respiratory viruses such as Influenza A virus (IAV) pose a significant burden on UK healthcare, especially in winter months. The drivers of the seasonal increase in IAV infection rates include environmental conditions, viral genetic variation, host immunity and human behaviour. This project aims to investigate the impact of environmental conditions on IAV airborne stability, thus improving our und

Drivers of wind and water erosion for river sediments in a typical coarse sandy area in the middle reaches of the Yellow River

Warmer temperatures and the combined effects of wind and water erosion leads to serious soil loss. Identifying the contribution of different drivers to wind and water compound erosion can improve soil erosion management in the watershed. Accordingly, we calculated the erosion energy based on energy theory and applied the mutation test and trend analysis to explore environmental drivers, runoff, an

Lipase engineering, production and application : Expanding the lipids tailoring toolbox with applied bioinformatics

Enzymes, as efficient and environmentally friendly catalysts, have gainedsignificant scientific and industrial attention for their mild operating conditions,high substrate selectivity and reusability when immobilized. Among them, lipasesdominate the global industrial enzyme market, catalyzing various reactions with afocus on substrate specificity and selectivity. This thesis investigates theoptimi

Model of Health-Related Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients Using Cross-Sectional Data: The Role of Resilience

Purpose: Resilience has been suggested as an important predictor of both physical and mental health-related quality of life in breastcancer patients. However, it is unclear why resilient women handle their diagnosis better, not only mentally, but also physically. Theaim of this study was to investigate paths between resilience, physical activity, and mental, physical, and global health-related qua

Current Antithrombotic Treatments for Cardiovascular Diseases : A Comprehensive Review

Antithrombotic therapies (ATT) play a pivotal role in the management of cardiovascular diseases, aiming to prevent ischemic events while maintaining a delicate balance with the patient’s bleeding risk. Typically, ATT can be classified into antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies. Their application spans a broad spectrum of cardiovascular conditions, ranging from ischemic heart disease to atrial f

Linearly polarized RABBIT beyond the dipole approximation

We theoretically investigate nondipole effects in the reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT) of helium using linearly polarized extreme ultraviolet and infrared fields. By scanning the time delay between the two fields, we observe modulations in sidebands (SBs) both for angular-integrated photoelectron yield and forward-backward asymmetry in photoel

The history of rescue in Poland and gender perspective: new approaches and questions

This essay does not claim to be a gender and quantitative analysis of rescue. Its modest aim is to discuss complexities and difficulties of studying the subject of rescue of Jews in wartime Poland from a gender perspective. The initial analysis put forward here is intended to investigate to what extent gender mattered in the treatment of the non-Jewish Polish rescuers by members of their local com

Ozone strengthens the ex vivo but weakens the in vivo pathway of the microbial carbon pump in poplar plantations

Elevated ozone (eO3) and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition are important climate change components that can affect plant growth and plant-soil-microbe interactions. However, the understanding of how eO3 and its interaction with N deposition affect soil microbially mediated carbon (C) cycling and the fate of soil C stocks is limited. This study aimed to test how eO3 and N deposition affected soil

Regulation of Antibiotic Resistance Genes on Agricultural Land Is Dependent on Both Choice of Organic Amendment and Prevalence of Predatory Bacteria

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are widespread in the environment, and soils, specifically, are hotspots for microorganisms with inherent antibiotic resistance. Manure and sludge used as fertilizers in agricultural production have been shown to contain vast amounts of ARGs, and due to continued applications, ARGs accumulate in agricultural soils. Some soils, however, harbor a resilience capacit

Vertebral compression fractures at abdominal CT : Underdiagnosis, undertreatment, and evaluation of an AI algorithm

Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are common and indicate a high future risk of additional osteoporotic fractures. However, many VCFs are unreported by radiologists, and even if reported, many patients do not receive treatment. The purpose of the study was to evaluate a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for the detection of VCFs and to assess the prevalence of reported and unreported

The figure of Eros in a rare and unpublished French book hosted by the National Library of Sweden (1785-1814) : Histoire d'une puce. Between satirical fable and erotic and libertine tale

A French book relating to flea literature has recently been discovered at the National Library of Sweden in Stockholm. This article claims to be the first presentation of the work Histoire d’une puce by Louis Marie Céleste d’Aumont, Duke of Piennes (1762-1831), with the first literary analysis of its erotic content. The second half of the story is remarkable for the presence of Swedish words in th

Farmers’ motivations to cultivate biomass for energy and implications

Bioenergy derived from agricultural biomass can contribute to meeting the rising demand for renewable energy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to contribute to bioenergy, it is crucial to understand what motivates farmers to increase agricultural feedstock production sustainably. Through eight semi-structured interviews and online surveys with 174 farmers in southern Sweden, we expl

The application of haplotypes instead of species-level ranks modifies the interpretation of ecological preferences in lichen symbiont interactions in Parmelia

The analysis of the interaction between main bionts (mycobiont and photobiont) in the lichen symbiosis delivers substantial information about their preferences in the selection of symbiotic partners, and their ecological preferences. The selectivity in the Parmelia genus has been defined as strong so far. However, data on this lichen genus, which includes several widely distributed species, are bi

α-Synuclein oligomers form by secondary nucleation

Oligomeric species arising during the aggregation of α-synuclein are implicated as a major source of toxicity in Parkinson’s disease, and thus a major potential drug target. However, both their mechanism of formation and role in aggregation are largely unresolved. Here we show that, at physiological pH and in the absence of lipid membranes, α-synuclein aggregates form by secondary nucleation,
