  2. 1. Unraveling the immune response in sepsis and meningitis. Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches

    Author : Jane Fisher; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; meningtis; sepsis; neutrophil extracellular traps NETs ; glymphatic system; DNase; pneumococci;

    Abstract : Severe infections continue to constitute a large burden, with high mortality and risk of sequelae. Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to an infection that causes life threatening organ damage. Meningitis is a severe infection of the brain that often leads to sepsis and death or lasting neurological damage. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetiska och optiska ; supraledare; magnetisk resonans; egenskaper elektriska; Kondenserade materiens egenskaper:elektronstruktur; supraconductors; magnetic resonance; relaxation; spectroscopy; Condensed matter:electronic structure; electrical; magnetic and optical properties; Kemi; Chemistry; Femtosecond transient absorption; Os-Ru metal ligand complexes; Cu-porphyrin-appended dendrimers; Zn-porphyrin-appended dendrimers; Annihilation; Energy transfer; Solar energy conversion; Artificial photosynthesis; Antenna systems; spektroskopi; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi; Photochemistry; Fotokemi; Femtosecond fluorescence anisotropy;

    Abstract : A continuing use of fossil fuels will accelerate global warning and result in severe consequences for the environment and thereby also us. Development of alternative, sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources is therefore crucial. One approach is to create an artificial photosynthetic system that converts sunshine into fuel (e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Knowledge and Survival in the Novels of Thomas Hardy

    Author : Jane Mattisson; Engelska; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Wessex -- Thomas Hardy; rural skills in literature; literature and society -- nineteenth century; epistemology and literature; evolution in literature; Pierre Bourdieu and literature; education in literature; sociolinguistics and literature; sociology and literature; Victorian fiction; Key words: Thomas Hardy; nineteenth-century fiction; history and literature -- nineteenth century; English language and literature; Engelska språk och litteratur ;

    Abstract : Abstract This thesis identifies two different kinds of knowledge in Thomas Hardy's novels: the everyday, passed on from generation to generation, which is non-academic and closely bound to the local environment and its traditions; and the specialised, recorded in the printed word, which is the product of formal education and independent of the local community and its traditions. These two kinds of epistemological competence determine one's ability to adapt and survive in a changing society. READ MORE

  7. 5. Automatic segmentation in CMR - Development and validation of algorithms for left ventricular function, myocardium at risk and myocardial infarction

    Author : Jane Tufvesson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Automatic segmentation; cardiovascular magnetic resonance; validation; Expectation Maximization; freely available software; myocardial infarction;

    Abstract : In this thesis four new algorithms are presented for automatic segmentation in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR); automatic segmentation of the left ventricle, myocardial infarction, and myocardium at risk in two different image types. All four algorithms were implemented in freely available software for image analysis and were validated against reference delineations with a low bias and high regional agreement. READ MORE
