Cell death is an important field of biology that is linked to many other topics in medicine and biology. One of the methods to investigate cell death is through high content screening (HCS) which makes use of robotic microscopy. By this technology, cell death associated organelle membrane permeabilisation and the localisation of certain dyes can be visualised and elucidate a substantial amount of
Uppsatsen behandlar det engelska inflytandet på genomförandet av 1766 års tryckfrihetsförordning. Sverige var det första landet i världen att införa tryckfrihet som en grundlagsskyddad rättighet i och med TF 1766. En tidig from av tryckfrihet hade dock redan utvecklats i England under 1600-talet. Utöver tryckfriheten finns det även intressanta konstitutionella likheter länderna emellan som motiverThis essay deals with the English influence on the implementation of Sweden’s Freedom of Press Act of 1766. Sweden was with this the first country to introduce freedom of the press as a constitutionally protected right. An early form of freedom of the press had, however, already emerged in England during the 17th century. In addition to the freedom of the press, there are also interesting constitu
Planets that orbit their host star closely experience tidal forces due to the strength of gravity not being uniform all over the planet. This leads to effects such as tidal spin synchronization, tidal eccentricity damping and tidal semi-major axis damping. This project aims to study how the time scales for these phenomena are affected by the planetary parameters such as mass, radius and the tidal
Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. While it is known to transport cholesterol to neurons the localization of the protein has not yet fully been mapped. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its cleavage product amyloid beta (Aβ), the main component of amyloid plaques, in transfected cells were determined using western blot. Green fluoresce
Forskningen kring psykedelier och dess effekter på välmående och vid behandling av psykiska åkommor har under senare år ökat markant. Den kvantitativa forskningen har varit dominerande men den kvalitativa forskningen börjar komma ikapp. En kvalitativ meta-analys kom fram till fyra teman med tillhörande underteman: (1) upplevelsens fenomenologi; (2) perspektiv på behandlingen; (3) terapeutiska procThe research on psychedelics and their effects on well-being and as a treatment for mental illness is growing fast. The research has been mostly quantitative, but qualitative efforts are catching up. One qualitative meta-analysis synthesized four themes and their associated subthemes: (1) phenomenology of the experience; (2) perspectives on the intervention; (3) therapeutic processes and (4) outco
Previous research has suggested there is a tipping point for ethnic tolerance. Once the tipping point is reached the group threat mechanisms outweigh those of increased intergroup contact. Due to the significant changes in the last decade, the ongoing 2015 European Refugee Crisis, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to revisit previous research to gain a better understanding if the
Human trafficking is a transnational phenomenon and it has been one of the most hotly debated issues in the development agenda for the last decade. This thesis focuses the attention on the phenomenon of women trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation and takes as a case study the Republic of Albania. Albania has been, especially during the 90s, widely touched by the phenomenon, and since
Purpose: The aim of this study is to unravel consumer motives for enrolling in multiple programs and explore the consumer experience of multiple memberships in the highly competitive loyalty program market. Methodology: We have conducted a qualitative research with a hermeneutic approach. A sample group of nine women in the ages 47-62 were selected based on a snowball sample. Through detailed acco
Vid tunnelbygget genom Hallandsås i nordvästra Skåne har man stött på tre större vittringszoner och har periodvis haft problem med stort inflöde av vatten till tunnlarna. Detta vatten kommer från de ovan– och omkringliggande akvifärerna och dräneringen registreras som sjunkande grundvattennivåer i kontrollbrunnar på åsen. För att försöka skapa en bild av sprickakvifärernas utbredning i området ovaDuring the tunnel boring project through Hallandsås in the northwestern part of Skåne, large-scale weathering zones have been encountered and there have periodically been problems with great amounts of water leaking into the tunnels. This water comes from the above and surrounding aquifers and the drainage is registered as sinking groundwater levels in control wells on the ridge. In an attempt to
This paper examined and identifies the important determinants of Fertility decline in East Africa countries using a panel data set from world development indicator data base (WDI) for eight selected East African countries between 1998 and 2010. Panel regression methods were used to determine the impact of socioeconomic determinants on fertility. Fertility rate reduced in a slow pace during the per
Purpose: Some 10% of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and 80% of attenuated polyposis (AFAP) cases remain molecularly unexplained. We scrutinized such cases by exome-wide and targeted methods to search for novel susceptibility genes. Methods: Exome sequencing was conducted on 40 unexplained (mainly sporadic) cases with FAP or AFAP from Finland. The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene MLH3 (MutL Hom
Purpose: To evaluate the access to human rights of persons with disabilities who use prosthetic and orthotic assistive devices, and to compare groups of participants in terms of gender, residential area, income, and type and level of assistive device. The addressed areas were rights to: health, a standard of living adequate for health, education, marry and establish a family, vote, and work. Metho
Most studies on the fertility transition have focused either on macro-level trends or on micro-level patterns with limited geographic scope. Much less attention has been given to the interplay between individual characteristics and contextual conditions, including geographic location. Here we investigate the relevance of geography and socioeconomic status for understanding fertility variation in t
It is well known that certain cancers have shown clusteringin educational and socioeconomic groups, but recent comprehensive data on clustering by education are limited. We determined standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), adjusted for several variables, for cancer among men and women in six educational groups based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. People were identified with a certain educat
OBJECTIVE: Exposure to hyperoxemia and hypoxemia is common in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), but its effects on neurological outcome are uncertain, and study results are inconsistent. METHODS: Exploratory post hoc substudy of the Target Temperature Management (TTM) trial, including 939 patients after OHCA with return of spontaneou
OBJECTIVE: To present findings that suggest steroid treatment within 24 hours of onset of vestibular neuronitis results in better restitution of vestibular function than treatment between 25 and 72 hours. PATIENTS: Thirty-three consecutive patients (17 men, 16 women, mean age 57 yr, range 17-85 yr) with acute vestibular neuronitis and treated with steroids within 72 hours after symptom onset. Pati
Mixing in wall-jets was investigated in an optical heavy-duty diesel engine with several injector configurations and injection pressures. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was employed in non-reacting conditions in order to quantitatively measure local equivalence ratios in colliding wall-jets. A novel laser diagnostic technique, Structured Laser Illumination Planar Imaging (SLIPI), was successfull
Understandability of the current system is a key issue in most reengineering processes. An architecture description of the system may increase its understandability. This paper presents experiences from architectural design recovery in a product family of large distributed, embedded systems. Automated recovery tools were hard to apply due to the nature of the source code. A qualitative evaluation
BackgroundProduction of ethanol and biogas from acetic acid-impregnated steam-pretreated wheat straw was investigated. The solid fraction after pretreatment was used at high solids concentrations to generate ethanol by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). The residual streams were evaluated with regard to biogas production. The experimental results were used to perform a techno-ec
