Populärhistorisk översikt över relationerna mellan Lunds universitet och svenska monarker (och en kronprins) vid namn Carl från Carl X Gustaf till Carl XVI Gustaf.

Objective: No large-scale nationwide study has determined the risk of ocular manifestations in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). The aim was to study the incidence and risk factors of ocular manifestations in patients with GCA in Sweden. Method: A national cohort was created by linking Swedish nationwide registers. GCA patients were identified from the Swedish Hospital Inpatient and Outpat

The importance of adequate levels of muscle size and function and physical activity is widely recognized. Myostatin/activin blocking increases skeletal muscle mass but may decrease muscle oxidative capacity and can thus be hypothesized to affect voluntary physical activity. Soluble activin receptor IIB (sActRIIB-Fc) was produced to block myostatin/activins. Modestly dystrophic mdx mice were inject

Indonesia has been officially joining "the global family" of Spotify since late of March 2016. How is the impact of this new media phenomenon on the landscape of auditory media in Indonesia? Also, how are the challenges being faced on media studies in the Indonesian contexts?

This book consists of seventeen essays which are categorised into four sections: (1) the theoretical standpoint: semiotic and discursive approach, (2) news photography, television, and Internet in particular context, (3) cinema in contexts, and (4) documentary studies. The topics being discussed in all essays are varied, ranging from media in Asia, film and documentary studies, media and social ac

The β-glucosidase TnBgl1A catalyses hydrolysis of O-linked terminal β-glycosidic bonds at the nonreducing end of glycosides/oligosaccharides. Enzymes with this specificity have potential in lignocellulose conversion (degrading cellobiose to glucose) and conversion of bioactive flavonoids (modification of glycosylation results in modulation of bioavailability). Previous work has shown TnBgl1A to hy

Integrin dependent adhesion and dynamic modulations of the actin network are prerequisites for normal cell locomotion. To investigate whether the actin microfilamentous system does play a role in regulation of β2-integrin-induced signalling, we pretreated granulocytes with staurosporine, a well-known protein kinase inhibitor that has also been shown to disrupt the cytoskeleton of intact cells. Pre

Although surface integral equations (SIEs) have been extensively used in solving electromagnetic problems of penetrable objects, there are still open issues relating to their application to the Theory of Characteristic Modes. This work demonstrates that when an SIE is used to solve for the characteristic modes (CMs) of a dielectric or magnetic object, the resulting eigenvalues are unrelated to the

Nanowires can act as efficient light absorbers where waveguide modes are resonant to specific wavelengths. This resonant wavelength can easily be tuned by the nanowire dimensions, but the absorption of infrared radiation requires diameters of hundreds of nm, which is difficult to achieve using epitaxial growth. Here, we demonstrate that infrared absorption in InAsSb nanowires with the diameters of

Capacitive biosensors belong to the group of affinity biosensors that operate by registering direct binding between the sensor surface and the target molecule. This type of biosensors measures the changes in dielectric properties and/or thickness of the dielectric layer at the electrolyte/electrode interface. Capacitive biosensors have so far been successfully used for detection of proteins, nucle

Energy distributions and properties of the occupied and empty electronic states for a planar complex of nickel porphyrin NiP are studied by X-ray photoemission and absorption spectroscopy techniques. As a result of the analysis of the experimental spectra of valence photoemission, the nature and energy positions of the highest occupied electronic states were determined: the highest occupied state

This biweekly commentary in an Austrian online newspaper presents my reflections upon Bolivian society and politics

Milk and whey are widely processed by membrane filtration, often using polysulphone membranes. Adsorption of β-lactoglobulin onto polysulphone was studied at protein concn. of 0.1 and 1.0%, as well as 12% to represent concn. encountered during ultrafiltration. Adsorption onto silica and methylated silica surfaces (representing strongly hydrophilic and strongly hydrophobic surfaces resp.) was also
