Field measurement data on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are still scarce for many land-use types in Africa, causing a high level of uncertainty in GHG budgets. To address this gap, we present in situ measurements of carbon dioxide (CO2 ), nitrous oxide (N2 O), and methane (CH4) emissions from the lowlands of southern Kenya. We conducted eight chamber measurement campaigns on gas exchange from fou
The global climate transition from the Lateglacial to the Early Holocene is dominated by a rapid warming trend driven by an increase in orbital summer insolation over high northern latitudes and related feedbacks. The warming trend was interrupted by several abrupt shifts between colder (stadial) and warmer (interstadial) climate states following instabilities of the Atlantic Meridional Overturnin
50 years had passed since the introduction of the so-called safety bicycle when Kulturen's first yearbook was published in 1935. The bicycle was a common sight in everyday city life during the 1930s. Was it perhaps for this reason that it rarely featured in the yearbooks issued during the 1930s and 1940s? During these two decades it was most common to hear about them through adverts. Nonetheless t
With conventional antibiotic therapies being increasingly ineffective, bacterial infections with subsequent biofilm formation represent a global threat to human health. Here, an active and a passive strategy based on polymeric micelles were combined to fight bacterial growth. The passive strategy involved covalent immobilization of polymeric micelles through Michael addition between exposed maleim
Microbial degradation of lignin and its related aromatic compounds has great potential for the sustainable production of chemicals and bioremediation of contaminated soils. We previously isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain 9.1 from historical waste deposits (forming so-called fiber banks) released from pulp and paper mills along the Baltic Sea coast. The strain accumulated vanillyl alcohol during grow
The predictors of the long‐term outcome in alcoholics (n= 50) who had been treated in a 2‐year outpatient treatment program were investigated. Previously, the sample had been followed up personally 2 years after the termination of treatment. This study is a repeated, independent follow‐up of the same sample over a 4‐year period, 3–6 years after termination of treatment. Outcome could be categorize
Objectives:We aimed to investigate possible associations between birth weight and adult life carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and augmentation pressure index (AIx).Design and method:This study included 1598 participants, that is, 340 elderly individuals from the Malmö Birth Data Cohort (MBDC) and 1258 young-middle aged individuals from the Malmö Offspring Study (MOS) with full data on b
Background: To increase the clinical usefulness of the D-dimer test in diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), two strategies have been proposed: the age-adjusted, and the clinical pre-test probability (CPTP) adjusted interpretation. However, it is not known which of these strategies is superior. Objective: To conduct an individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis that compares the sensitivity, s
The importance of previous suicidal behavior for the treatment of alcoholics was analyzed in a long‐term outpatient treatment study. In a series of 72 patients, 21 patients, (29%), 17 men and 4 women, had previously made at least one suicide attempt or had seriously threatened to kill themselves (3 cases). In comparison with the other alcoholics, those with previous suicidal behavior had a similar
I syfte att samla material kring vardagsliv, vanor och värderingar har Folklivsarkivet i Lund under lång tid skickat ut så kallade frågelistor. Varje lista utgår från ett särskilt ämne, svaren skrivs i löpande text och materialet används i forskning och för dokumentation. Men vad som anses intressant och relevant är inte detsamma idag som då den första listan sändes ut. Vilka ämnen som blir teman
Seventy-two alcoholic patients (60 men and 12 women) were randomized into four groups who received psychiatric treatment (PT) or multimodal behavioural therapy (MBT), for either 1 or 2 years. PT was based on psychodynamic principles, and MBT is a cognitive-behavioural treatment. The patients accepting treatment had a mean age of 37 ± 9 years, and they were socially stable. There was no difference
Aim: To investigate the antidiabetic efficacy of enzymatically stable Peptide YY (PYY) peptides from phylogenetically ancient fish. Materials and methods: N-terminally stabilized, PYY (1–36) sequences from Amia calva (bowfin), Oncorhynchus mykiss (trout), Petromyzon marinus (sea lamprey) and Scaphirhynchus albus (sturgeon), were synthesized, and both biological actions and antidiabetic therapeutic
When treating limited stage classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), balancing treatment efficacy and toxicity is important. Toxicities after extended-field radiotherapy are well documented. Investigators have aimed at reducing toxicity without compromising efficacy, mainly by using combined modality treatment (CMT), i.e. chemotherapy and limited-field radiotherapy. In some clinical trials, radiotherapy
Both atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and precipitation can strongly impact below-ground biogeochemical processes. Soil extracellular enzymes activities (EEAs) and microorganisms are considered as the key agents in ecosystem nutrient cycling. However, how the interaction between increasing N deposition and precipitation may affect soil EEAs and microbes remain poorly understood. In a 5-year fie
Social characteristics and self‐rating of social support by means of the Interview Schedule for Social Interaction were investigated in 75 inpatients after a suicide attempt. We found that very few suicide attempters (13%) had a well functioning relationship, and two‐thirds had problems in their occupational situation. Divorced patients had unsatisfactory social interaction compared with those who
This paper contemplates the future of utility infrastructure, and considers whether an "All-in-One" approach could supply all necessary utility services to tomorrow's households.The intention is not to propose infrastructure solutions that are currently technically feasible or justifiable, however; the objective is to present visions of future infrastructure that would only be possible with new ad
Background and aims: Genetic loci associated with CHD show different relationships with intima-media thickness in the common carotid artery (IMT-CCA) and in the bulb (IMT-bulb). We evaluated if IMT-CCA and IMT-bulb differ also with respect to circulating protein profiles and risk of incident atherosclerotic disease. Methods: In three Swedish cohorts (MDC, IMPROVE, PIVUS, total n > 7000), IMT-CCA a
