The tendency to buy expensive and unnecessary goods is a pattern of consumer behavior that is becoming all too common in our society. We consume luxury items to satisfy practical needs that are already satisfied in the quest toward self-fulfillment, or simply to impress those around us. The phenomenon of “status consumption” has become increasingly evident in modern society. Although conspicuous c
Anhedoni, minskad motivation att uppleva lust, är associerad med förändringar i belöningssystemet. Belägen i ventrala striatum utgör den bilaterala nucleus accumbens (NAcc) den centrala noden i detta nätverk, där dopamin agerar som huvudsaklig excitatorisk neurotransmitter. Studier med funktionell magnetresonanstomografi (fMRI) har visat att aktiviteten i ventrala striatum minskar under belöningsbAnhedonia, reduced motivation to experience pleasure, is associated with alterations in the circuitry of the reward system. Located in the ventral striatum, the bilateral nucleus accumbens (NAcc) is the central hub of this network where dopamine acts as the main excitatory neurotransmitter. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) found that activity in the ventral striatum is de
Martin Johansson är forskargruppsledare för den här forskargruppenWe mainly study two important aspects of human kidney disease. First, we study the cellular background for kidney regeneration. The traditional concept that the human kidney lacks a stem cell compartment has recently been challenged by an alternative view, stating that stem cells indeed are localized to the kidney. The issue is thus far from settled and we are currently researching this important
Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) remains a leading cause of transfusionrelated deaths. In most cases, anti-leukocyte antibodies in the transfusion product trigger TRALI, but not all anti-leukocyte antibodies cause TRALI. It has been shown that the anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I antibody 34-1-2S (anti-H-2Kd) causes TRALI in BALB/c mice (MHC class I haplotype H-2Kd)
This thesis delves into Louis Spohr and his First Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Op. 26, starting with an overview of the composer's life and his work. The analysis will provide a better understanding of the meaning and characteristics of this composer's writing during his musical career. The thesis also explores the performance of his concerto that is closer to the composer’s origin
The years 1988-1998 were named by World Council of Churches as The Ecumenical Decade - Churches in Solidarity with Women. On a worldwide scale, the Decade challenged member churches to portray Solidarity with Women in their contexts. Churches around the world launched a variety of projects and programs for this purpose. The Decade envisaged a new fellowship of women and men in church and society,
The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable fuels such as biogas and biohydrogen will require efficient and economically competitive process technologies together with new kinds of biomass. A two-stage system for biogas production has several advantages over the widely used one-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). However, it has not yet been widely implemented on a large scale. Biohydro
The origin of "cosmic" fluorine is uncertain, but there are three proposed production sites/mechanisms for the origin: asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, nu nucleosynthesis in Type II supernovae, and/or the winds of Wolf-Rayet stars. The relative importance of these production sites has not been established even for the solar neighborhood, leading to uncertainties in stellar evolution models of
Ice covers ten percent of the earth’s surface, seven percent of its oceans and is currently dominating the visual landscape as a key theme of climate communication in the media. Focusing on representations of climate change that implement ice as a key motif, this thesis postulates why and how climate discourse shapes, and is shaped by, the technological, social and institutional production of imag
In our article entitled ‘The Responsibility to Protect – An incoherent Doctrine?’ we claimed that R2P in the version proposed by the ICISS is incoherent. We argued that the ICISS-report used the criteria of right intention, proportionality and legitimate authority to determine when a humanitarian intervention is obligatory and we continued by arguing that this cannot be done in a coherent manner.
I am not convinced that the challenge for self-adaptive software is how to handle unexpected changes. I believe that the real challenge is how to characterise the uncertainty that the self-adaptive software has to handle. Once a proper characterisation of the uncertainty is in place, I think handling unanticipated changes and situations becomes a lot simpler. What is difficult is to know what rang
