  2. 1. Forests and Water - Friends or Foes? : Hydrological implications of deforestation and land degradation in semi-arid Tanzania

    Author : Klas Sandström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

    Abstract : This is a study of landscape hydrology; a type of hydrology which focuses on large sca1e implications of hydrologica1 processes as a function of hydroclimate, surface and sub-surface land properties, and the effect of human activities. The focus of the thesis is groundwater recharge and dry season flow following deforestation and land degradation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of Pleiotropic Activities of alpha1-Antitrypsin

    Author : Caroline Sandström; Enheten för kroniska inflammatoriska och degenerativa sjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammation; alpha1-Antitrypsin deficiency; alpha1-Antitrypsin;

    Abstract : Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammatory response in the airways and lung parenchyma that involves the influx of inflammatory, structural cells and mediators. The inflammatory process resulting in lung tissue destruction, emphysema, includes the excess of uninhibited proteases released from inflammatory cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nutritional aspects of behaviour and biology during pregnancy and postpartum

    Author : Anette Lundqvist; Herbert Sandström; Katarina Hamberg; Torbjörn Bäckström; Johan Hultdin; Margareta Larsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pregnancy; antenatal care; dietary advice; qualitative; dietary intake; cross-sectional; vitamin D levels; alloprenanolone; weight gain; longitudinal; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : BackgroundA well-balanced nutritious diet is important for the pregnant woman and the growing fetus, as well as for their future health. Poor nutrition results from both over-consumption of energy-rich foods which can lead to a higher weight gain than is healthy and under-nutrition of essential nutrients. READ MORE

  6. 4. BRST and Topological Gauge Theories

    Author : Niclas Sandström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gauge theory; BRST-quantization; topological field theory; BV-quantization; almost product structure APS ; superfield formulation;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the BRST-quantization of gauge theories is discussed. A detailed analysis of the BRST-quantization on inner product spaces is performed for a class of abelian models, including reparametrization invariant ones. General rules how to obtain physical wave functions and propagators are proposed. READ MORE

  7. 5. Activation of lung epithelial cells by group 2 mite allergens

    Author : Camilla Österlund; Anders Bucht; Thomas Sandström; Jan Wahlström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; group 2 mite allergens; Der p 2; Der f 2; Eur m 2; Lep d 2; airway epithelium; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Abstract : Throughout many parts of the world house dust mites (HDM) are considered as a major source of indoor aeroallergens and they are powerful inducers of allergic diseases. Proteolytic HDM allergens are recognised as being able to directly activate respiratory epithelial cells and thereby actively participate in innate immune responses. READ MORE
