This thesis investigates the impact of U.S. sanctions imposed between 2010 and 2012 on Iran’s non-oil exports. Using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) as the baseline strategy, complemented by an Event Study and a standard Difference-in-Differences (DiD) model, the analysis shows that sanctions led to a sharp and persistent decline in Iran’s export performance relative to a counterfactual scenari
Nanoplastics are emerging environmental contaminants that increasingly threaten soil ecosystems, yet their effects on microbial behavior remain poorly understood. This is mainly due to the lack of experimental tools capable of directly observing microbial dynamics in situ under realistic soil-like conditions. Here, we present a proof-of-concept system that enables real-time, high-throughput monito
Det är inte ovanligt att äldre personer söker tilllogopedmottagningama fOr röstbesvär. Det är sannolikt att denna patientgrupp kommer att växa, då antalet äldre blir allt fler. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan röstförändringar och ålder hos kvinnor i åldersgruppema 25-35, 50-60 san1t 70-80 år. Urvalet av försökspersoner gjordes från samtliga röstinspelningar av kvi1mliga
Det framgår tydligt av lagändringar och motivuttalanden över åren att det har kommit att fästas ett större fokus vid barnets behov av skydd och ett mindre fokus på barnets behov av kontakt. Det följer både av föräldrabalken och barnkonventionen att beslutsfattaren har att göra en konsekvensanalys där långsiktiga och kortsiktiga effekter som kan följa av ett beslut ska beak-tas. Vilken vikt risken Is is clear from the legal amendments and the statements from the prelimina-tory works over the years that there has come to be a greater focus on the child’s need for protection and a lesser focus on the child’s need for contact. It follows from both the Parerantal Code and the Conventions of the rights of the child that the decisionmaker has to make an assessment of long-term and short-terms pot
Under de senaste åren har den ökande oro för de miljöförödande konsekvenserna av konvent-ionell plast lett till ett ökat intresse för biobaserade och biologiskt nedbrytningsbara plaster. Som förnybara råvaror för dessa plaster har jordbruksbiprodukter framlagts som en lovande källa. Denna studie undersöker olika jordbruksbiprodukter som potentiella råmaterial för biologiskt nedbrytbar plats. DettaIn recent years, concerns about the damaging environmental effects of conventional plastics have surged, by which biobased and biodegradable plastics have been promoted as a favour-able alternative. Agricultural side streams have been proposed as a potential feedstock for extracting components for new compostable polymers. The present study investigates agri-cultural side streams for raw material
Parvalbumin- (PV-) containing basket cells constitute perisomatic GABAergic inhibitory interneurons innervating principal cells at perisomatic area, a strategic location that allows them to efficiently control the output and synchronize oscillatory activity at gamma frequency (30–90 Hz) oscillations. This oscillatory activity can convert into higher frequency epileptiform activity, and therefore c
The study of biological mechanisms involved in human fetal brain development requires suitable models. To date, most findings have been acquired from animal models that fail to account for human-specific developmental traits. To counteract this limitation, a novel in vitro model is proposed where human pluripotent stem cells are differentiated into a coherent fetal brain tissue in a gradient formi
Background Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of heart transplant recipient- and donor-derived cardiac biopsies may facilitate organ matching, graft failure prediction, and immunotolerance research. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of WGS based on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded endomyocardial biopsies. Methods and results The study included serial donor- and recipient samp
BACKGROUND: Platelets are a critical element in coagulation and inflammation, and activated platelets are linked to cancer risk through diverse mechanisms. However, a causal relationship between platelets and risk of lung cancer remains unclear. METHODS: We performed single and combined multiple instrumental variable Mendelian randomization analysis by an inverse-weighted method, in addition to a
Cytokines provide signals that regulate immature normal and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in the bone marrow microenvironment. We here identify interleukin 4 (IL4) as a selective inhibitor of AML cell growth and survival in a cytokine screen using fluorescently labeled AML cells. RNA-sequencing of the AML cells revealed an IL4-induced upregulation of Stat6 target genes and enrichment of apopt
In vitro and animal studies suggest that bioactive constituents of coffee and tea may have anticarcinogenic effects against cutaneous melanoma; however, epidemiological evidence is limited to date. We examined the relationships between coffee (total, caffeinated or decaffeinated) and tea consumption and risk of melanoma in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). EP
Improvements in colorectal cancer (CRC) detection and treatment have led to greater numbers of CRC survivors, for whom there is limited evidence on which to provide dietary guidelines to improve survival outcomes. Higher intake of red and processed meat and lower intake of fibre are associated with greater risk of developing CRC, but there is limited evidence regarding associations with survival a
Purpose: To investigate how revealing the official secrets in different industries influence consumer trust. Methodology: Primary data were collected through a quantitative consumer survey measuring the impact of revealing an official secret on trust. This was complemented by secondary case analyses of Polestar and Kérastase, supported by relevant literature and industry sources to contextualize
Smart microscopy represents a paradigm shift in biological imaging, moving from passive observation tools to active collaborators in scientific inquiry. Enabled by advances in automation, computational power, and artificial intelligence, these systems are now capable of adaptive decision-making and real-time experimental control. Here, we introduce a theoretical framework that reconceptualises sma
