Effects of Probiotics and Plant Components on Murine Experimental Colitis and Acute Liver Failure

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut leversvikt medför hög risk för komplikationer orsakade av bakteriesepsis. Hög nivåer av lipopolysackarider (LPS; endotoxin) i det portala blodet kan leda till förhöjd sekretion av pro-inflammatoriska signalsubstanser från leverns Kupffer-celler, vilket har visats vara ett tidigt och viktigt tecken på leverskada. Patogenesen för inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom (?inflammaAcute liver failure is accompanied by a high rate of bacterial septic complications. High portal level of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can lead to a pronounced secretion by Kupffer cells of pro-inflammatory mediators which have been shown to be early and important mediators of liver injury. Pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is complex; involving environmental, genetic, microbial, and im

Supporting Regression Test Scoping with Visual Analytics

Test managers have to repeatedly select test cases for test activities during evolution of large software systems. Researchers have widely studied automated test scoping, but have not fully investigated decision support with human interaction. We previously proposed the introduction of visual analytics for this purpose. Aim: In this empirical study we investigate how to design such decision suppor

Different Strokes for Different Folks. Possible Reasons for Variation in Quality of Knapping

The article describes the results of a survey of contemporary flintknappers. the aim of the survey was to investigate whether it was possible to identify inherent qualities in knappers which would indicate that some individuals possess an inherent ability or talent for knapping. Control over such individuals would provide a means of enhancing one's status through well-made knapped objects. It is a

Using cepstral coefficients for Inhalation pause detection in spontaneous speech

A method for recognizing inhalations in spontaneous speech is presented. It is similar to the template matching technique; a distance measure is calculated between a reference sound and an equally long portion of the same sound being tracked. A feature representation consisting of the standard Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), obtained by performing a discrete Cosine Transform of the mel

Making Swedish Environmental Geodata INSPIRE Conformant: : A Harmonization Case Study

The European project Nature-SDIplus has developed data and metadata specifications for three INSPIRE Annex III themes: Habitat and Biotopes, Bio-geographical regions and Species distributions. These serves as a foundation for the thematic groups developing the corresponding INSPIRE specifications. The aim of this study is to test a data harmonization approach to make Swedish environmental geodata

Picture database of facial expression: Technical report (Online).

The objective of the present study was to develop a set of pictures with different emotional facial expressions to be used in empirical studies. The photographs included in the database were chosen from six face databases on the basis of empirical studies in which 1) a large student sample judged the pictures on emotional category, expressiveness and quality of the photograph and 2) trained expert

"Universitetet är en jäkla gammal och seg organisation". Doktoranders röster om karriärmöjligheter inom akademin

I boken redogörs för resultatet av ett jämställdhetsprojekt på en forskarutbildning vid universitetet i Lund. Tolv gästprofessorer – alla kvinnor – arbetade med doktorander i sociologi, socialantropologi, rättssociologi och medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap. I seminarier och individuella samtal diskuterades frågor kring avhandlingsarbete, artikelskrivande och universitetsvärldens genusstrukturer.

Individual responsibility for what? A conceptual framework for exploring the suitability of private financing in a publicly funded health-care system.

Policymakers in publicly funded health-care systems are frequently required to make intricate decisions on which health-care services to include or exclude from the basic health-care package. Although it seems likely that the concept of individual responsibility is an essential feature of such decisions, it is rarely explicitly articulated or evaluated in health policy. This paper presents a tenta

Manage everything or anything? Possible ways towards generic emergency management capability

This paper explores two different approaches to information processing and learning in societal safety efforts; stressing the specifics and aiming at the general. How the two approaches relate to higher-level efforts at societal safety is discussed, as well as the relationship between the two approaches and their consequences. As a background, the paper briefly explores the concept of generic capa

Improved computerized perimetric threshold strategies

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande arbete syftade till att utveckla en ny effektivare metod för undersökning av ögats synfält. Synfältet kan definieras som allt ett fixerande öga kan uppfatta. Det perifera seendet mäts vid synfältsundersökning (perimetri). Hos patienter som drabbats av den vanliga ögonsjukdomen grön starr (glaukom) reduceras synen i olika områden av synfältet. Skadorna är ofPerimetric threshold examination is the most important method for diagnosing and monitoring patients with glaucoma. Such examination, however, is time-consuming and often difficult for the elderly patients in whom glaucoma is prevalent. Shorter test strategies have been proposed, but unfortunately also with lower test quality. By using new computer-intense techniques for acquisition and processing
