  2. 1. Small-scale combustion of agricultural biomass fuels

    Author : Lara Carvalho; Markus Broström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy Engineering; Energiteknik;

    Abstract : The ambitious targets of the European Union in increasing the use of renewable energies to 20% of Europe’s energy needs, call for urgent changes, including in the biomass sector. The share of solid biomass for heating purposes could be further increased by replacing oil- and gas-fired furnaces with biomass boilers and by expanding the spectrum of biomass raw materials for small-scale combustion systems.

  5. 3. Profiling of microglia in inflammation, aging, and the tumor microenvironment

    Author : Lara Friess; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis I aim to present our ongoing efforts to elucidate activation states and how these are regulated in microglia cells. An extensive body of work is dedicated to understanding how these resident immune cells can acquire certain activation states, as their roles are crucial for a great range of functions in the central nervous system – from homeostasis to pathological occurrences.

  6. 4. FAM167A-BLK is a susceptibility locus in autoimmune diseases : characterization of the FAM167 gene family

    Author : Lara Mentlein; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autoimmune diseases are complex multifactorial diseases, and their pathogenesis is only partially understood, but both genetic, as well as environmental factors, have been correlated to an increased risk for the diseases. Genome-wide association studies of Sjögren’s syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and rheumatoid arthritis have identified many risk loci; most studies include associations to the FAM167A-BLK locus.
