Abstrakt Antalet vårdplatser per invånare i Sverige har minskat de senaste 20 åren. Akutmottagningarna har fått en ökad belastning. Sjuksköterskornas arbetsuppgifter är många och av olika karaktär, allt från att ta hand om enklare symtom till plötslig död. Arbetet kan vara kroppsligt tung och psykiskt påfrestande. Akutmottagningarna har hög personalomsättning och sänkta kompetenskrav vid nyanställAbstract The number of care places per resident in Sweden has decreased in the last 20 years. A consequence of this has been that the emergency department have had an increased work load. The tasks of an emergency room nurse are stimulating as well as challenging. Multiple tasks of various nature ranging from addressing simple symptoms to acute and sudden death. The work may be physically hard

Both C-N and C-C bond formation reactions are fundamental part of synthetic chemistry and have been widely studied for the past several decades and will most likely continue to do so in the future. In this project, I report a base catalyzed transition metal-free C-N and C-C bond formation reactions from abundant and green substrates with sustainable chemistry in mind. Previous methods uses either

Cancer stem cells are a population of slow-cycling cells within the tumour bulk, with self-renewal capacity that attracts interest as a therapeutic target. In highly heterogeneous tumours, like pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) however, the characterisation of cancer stem cells has led to controversial results due to the lack of consensus on specific markers. Here we investigated the charact

Buffer management for biopharmaceutical purification processes include buffer preparation, storage of buffers and restocking the buffers when needed. This is usually performed manually by the operators for small scale operations. However, buffer management can become a bottleneck when running integrated continuous purification processes for prolonged times, even at small scale. To address this iss

The use of disposable and reusable packaging is a hot topic in policy and practice, but different studies have come to different conclusions on when each packaging type is the more sustainable alternative. The purpose of this paper is to map and review scientific literature that compares disposable and reusable packaging for food, beverages and e-commerce from a sustainability perspective. The met

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), an inflammatory condition with high mortality rates, is common in severe COVID-19, whose risk is reduced by metformin rather than other anti-diabetic medications. Detecting of inflammasome assembly in post-mortem COVID-19 lungs, we asked whether and how metformin inhibits inflammasome activation while exerting its anti-inflammatory effect. We show that m

The life expectancy for pancreatic cancer patients has seen no substantial changes in the last 40 years as very few and mostly just palliative treatments are available. As the five years survival rate remains around 5%, the identification of novel pharmacological targets and development of new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. Here we demonstrate that inhibition of the G protein-coupled

Aging negatively affects hematopoiesis, with consequences for immunity and acquired blood cell disorders. Although impairments in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) function contribute to this, the in vivo dynamics of such changes remain obscure. Here, we integrate extensive longitudinal functional assessments of HSC-specific lineage tracing with single-cell transcriptome and epitope profiling. In cont

Remediation of soil contaminated with cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) is critical for tobacco production. Silicon (Si) fertilizer can relieve heavy metal stress and promote plant growth, however, it remains unknown whether fertilization with Si can mitigate the effects of Cd and Pb on tobacco growth and alter microbial community composition in polluted soils. Here we assessed the effect of two organic

The central nervous system coordinates movement through forces generated by motor units (MUs) in skeletal muscles. To analyze MUs function is essential in sports, rehabilitation medicine applications, and neuromuscular diagnostics. The MUs and their function are studied using electromyography. Typically, these methods study only a small muscle volume (1 mm3) or only a superficial (

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition with mortality rates between 30-50%. Although in vitro models replicate some aspects of ARDS, small and large animal models remain the primary research tools due to the multifactorial nature of the disease. When using these animal models, histology serves as the gold standard method to confirm lung injury and exclude other

En populärvetenskaplig artikel som beskriver Lunds studentkårers stora och lilla standar och deras historia, samt försöker sätta dem i en historisk kontext.

The aim of this master thesis is to investigate how public libraries through projects work to include the target group youth/young adults. To get an understanding of this I will examine five projects towards youth/young adults at public libraries in Skåne. The theoretical framework I have used is the four-space model. The method being used is an ethnographic content analysis of documents from the

The return of cultural property (also known as repatriation or restitution) is a process that is increasing at Swedish museums in the 21st century. Many objects have been returned to their country of origin and their individual journey have been well researched. However, research focusing on institutional changes at the museums, from which the objects have been returned, has not been given the sam

Skeletal muscles are functionally regulated by populations of so-called motor units (MUs). An MU comprises a bundle of muscle fibers controlled by a neuron from the spinal cord. Current methods to diagnose neuromuscular diseases and monitor rehabilitation, and study sports sciences rely on recording and analyzing the bio-electric activity of the MUs. However, these methods provide information from
