Untangling the association of amyloid-β and tau with synaptic and axonal loss in Alzheimer's disease

It is currently unclear how amyloid-β and tau deposition are linked to changes in synaptic function and axonal structure over the course of Alzheimer's disease. Here, we assessed these relationships by measuring presynaptic (synaptosomal-associated protein 25, SNAP25; growth-associated protein 43, GAP43), postsynaptic (neurogranin, NRGN) and axonal (neurofilament light chain) markers in the CSF of

From bike to electric bike level-of-service

The evaluation of electric bike (e-bike) riders’ perception of comfort can lead to a better understanding of user requirements. This can be performed through Level-of-service (LOS) studies. To date, the e-bike LOS (ELOS) concept is scarcely developed and research concerning e-bike travel behaviour characteristics is relatively sparse. In this paper, we use bike LOS (BLOS) studies as a foundation t

Distansundervisning – nödläge med guldkant

Tanken på ansikte-mot-ansikte-undervisningens överlägsenhet må ha ett starktfäste, men när vi summerar ett år av distansundervisning på universitetsnivå ärdet tydligt att det gått över förväntan.

Bodies get in the way: breastfeeding and gender equality in Swedish handbooks for new parents

This article offers an analysis of three popular Swedish handbooks for new parents, written by authors in the “media class.” In these texts breastfeeding as a gendered, embodied practice collides with the Swedish ideal of gender-equal parenting. The analysis explores the various ways that gendered bodies, gendered (parental) rights, and gender equality figure in the handbooks, drawing upon feminis

Plant-microbe interactions in response to grassland herbivory and nitrogen eutrophication

Plant-soil feedback is increasingly recognized as a vital framework to analyze multi-trophic interactions involving herbivores, plants and microbes, but research is still lacking on understanding such feedback in the context of global change. In grasslands, patterns of herbivory are expected to be affected by global change, further modifying existing plant-soil feedbacks. We tested this by evaluat

Weak Sustainability Trends in the Andean and Nordic Countries: A Historical Perspective

This chapter traces the main sustainability trends of the five countries analyzed in this book. The starting point is to understand sustainability as main measure of development, diminishing the role of GDP or Income. In order to address these concerns the chapter utilizes mainstream indicators such as NaturalResources Intensity and energy consumption, and adding new comprehensive measures of deve
