Datahanteringsplaner (DHP) – reflektioner bland ett antal Lundaforskare och från vissa forskningsfinansiärer

I följande rapport redovisar vi resultatet från en utvärdering av datahanteringsplaner genomförd under 2016. Rapporten har följande disposition: bakgrund kring begreppet datahanteringsplaner, syfte och mål, avgränsningar, intressentanalys, risker, metod, resultat från forskarnas utvärdering, resultat från enkät till forskningsfinansiärer och slutligen en sammanfattning och rekommendation.

Strong and tuneable wet adhesion with rationally designed layer-by-layer assembled triblock copolymer films

In this study the wet adhesion between Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembled films of triblock copolymer micelles was investigated. Through the LbL assembly of triblock copolymer micelles with hydrophobic, low glass transition temperature (Tg) middle blocks and ionic outer blocks, a network of energy dissipating polymer chains with electrostatic interactions serving as crosslinks can be built. Four tribl

The Tagging System of the BGO-OD experiment

In the course of my PhD work, I have been involved in the development and the construction of the Tagging System for the BGO-OD experiment at the ELSA accelerators of the University of Bonn.BGO-OD is a fixed target experiment for the investigation of the structure of the nucleon at low energies via the photoproduction of mesons. It consist of a central calorimeter and a forward spectrometer. The r

Side localization of parathyroid adenomas by simplified intraoperative venous sampling for parathyroid hormone

Side localization of parathyroid adenomas was performed by venous sampling for intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) in 20 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) after induction of anesthesia. The results were thus available during surgery. Nineteen of the patients had solitary parathyroid adenoma, and one had hyperplasia. There was no complication to the procedure. A lateralizing

Increased plasma levels of islet amyloid polypeptide in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

Amylin, also named islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), is a protein that is processed and released from pancreatic beta-cells in parallel with insulin. Islet amyloid polypeptide is currently studied with regard to a role for insulin resistance in non-insulin-dependent diabetes. To elucidate a possible function of IAPP for impaired glucose tolerance in primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), we studied p

Hyperthyroxinemia after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism

Episodes of transient thyrotoxicosis after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism have previously been described, and surgical trauma to the thyroid gland has been suggested as an etiologic factor. However, there are several links between the thyroid and parathyroid hormonal systems, and therefore other explanations are possible as well. In this study we investigate pre- and postoperative serum l

Postoperative studies on parathyroid hormone secretion in patients operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism

The secretion of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) was investigated in 11 patients operated on for parathyroid adenoma at 1 year after surgery and compared with that of seven healthy individuals and five patients operated on because of clinical and biochemical signs of primary hyperparathyroidism with equivocal diagnosis after surgery. The investigation was performed by infusing Na2EDTA and CaCl2 a

A genetic risk score for CAD, psychological stress, and their interaction as predictors of CAD, fatal MI, non-fatal MI and cardiovascular death

Background Psychological stress is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the mechanism by which stress is associated with CVD is not entirely understood. Although genetic factors are implied in both stress responsivity and cardiovascular reactivity, no studies to date have investigated their interactions with stress for cardiovascular end points. The objective was to elu

Coping strategies and risk of cardiovascular disease incidence and mortality : The Japan Public Health Center-based prospective Study

Aims: Coping strategies may be significantly associated with health outcomes. This is the first study to investigate the association between baseline coping strategies and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and mortality in a general population cohort. Methods and results: The Japan Public Health Center-based prospective Study asked questions on coping in its third follow-up survey (2000- 04).

Technical evaluation of a tank-connected food waste disposer system for biogas production and nutrient recovery

In this study, a tank-connected food waste disposer system with the objective to optimise biogas production and nutrient recovery from food waste in Malmö was evaluated. The project investigated the source-separation ratio of food waste through waste composition analyses, determined the potential biogas production in ground food waste, analysed the organic matter content and the limiting component

Towards New Generation of Hemoglobin-Based Blood Substitutes

Blood transfusion is a clinically significant and crucial process, which saves millions of lives every year. However,shortage of donated blood and the risk of virus transmission through transfusible blood seriously affect theavailability of the blood. Hemoglobin (Hb), owing to its oxygen carrying capacity, has been studied as a startingmaterial for the development of artificial blood substitutes/H

Heat Transfer in Diesel and Partially Premixed Combustion Engines; A Computational Fluid Dynamics Study

This article presents findings from a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) study performed on the heat transfer characteristics of diesel and partially-premixed combustion (PPC) engines. The study is confined to the combustion bowl, where numerical simulations have been performed on a part of the engine cycle, namely the compression, combustion, and expansion phases. Three engine geometries were sim

Looking is buying. How visual attention and choice are affected by consumer preferences and properties of the supermarket shelf

There is a battle in the supermarket isle, a battle between what the consumer wants and what the retailer and others want her to see, and subsequently to buy. Product packages and displays contain a number of features and attributes tailored to catch consumers' attention. These are what we call external factors comprising the visual saliency, the number of facings, and the placement of each produc

Recent changes in the abundance of Common Pochard Aythya ferina breeding in Europe

National accounts suggest that the Common Pochard Aythya ferina was an uncommon breeding bird throughout western Europe before 1850. Extensions to the breeding range in the late 19th century were potentially aided by the rapid development of managed fish-ponds in eastern Europe, which provided suitable novel habitat at that time. Expansion into western Europe followed in subsequent decades. Wetlan
