During the pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), mitigation policies for children have been a topic of considerable uncertainty and debate. Although some children have co-morbidities which increase their risk for severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and complications such as multisystem inflammatory syndrome and long COVID, most children only get mild C
The need to enhance the resilience of urban drainage systems (UDSs) in view of emerging global climate change and urbanisation threats is well recognised. Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) provides a suitable strategy for building the resilience of existing UDSs. However, there are limited quantitative studies that provide evidence of their effectiveness for increased uptake in cities. In this resea
The ongoing climate change has been increasingly reflected in climate observations around the world, both in terms of averages and extremes, and attributed to anthropogenic climate forcing. When it comes to changing extremes, attribution to climate change is now especially well-established for heat-related extremes worldwide. Understanding changes in extremes is important for climate adaptation as
Background: Some degree of spontaneous recovery is usually observed after stroke. Experimental studies have provided information about molecular mechanisms underlying this recovery. However, the majority of pre-clinical stroke studies are performed in male rodents, and females are not well studied. This is a clear discrepancy when considering the clinical situation. Thus, it is important to includ
Background: Harmful glucose exposure and absorption remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis. We previously showed that inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 did not affect glucose transport during peritoneal dialysis in rats. However, more recently we found that phlorizin, a dual blocker of sodium glucose co-transporter 1 and 2, reduces glucose diffusion in peritoneal dialysis. Ther
Background: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is associated with aberrant emotional information processing while little is known about non-emotional cognitive processing biases. The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) has been implicated in SAD neuropathology and is activated both by emotional and non-affective cognitive challenges like the Multisource Interference Task (MSIT). Methods: Here, we u
This thesis explored how French and Chinese national discourses impacted the sense of security of Chinese international students during the COVID-19 pandemic in France. On the one hand, it focused on how the everyday performance and construction of national belonging can offer ontological security to Chinese international students, by providing simple answers to one’s sense of place and self. On t
Following a macroeconomic stabilization and consistent economic growth during the 2000s, Brazil experienced a continuous decrease on poverty incidence for the first time in its contemporary history. While the literature emphasizes the importance of economic growth alongside social development to fight poverty, the Brazilian experience also displays strong government action through expanding social
Objective: Inflammation is associated with higher incidence of perinatal brain injury. To better understand the mechanisms behind these injuries, we have studied the immune cell trafficking into the central nervous system (CNS) through the choroid plexus (CP) in the newborn. Meth-ods: Inflammation was induced in newborn mice using two different toll-like receptor ago-nists: PAM3CSK4 (PAM) and lipo
Temporal information in episodic memory reflects how experiences are encoded rather than objective elapsed time, giving rise to systematic distortions. These are particularly evident in emotional contexts, consistent with emotion-related biases in attention. The present study investigated whether emotion-driven distortions in remembered temporal distance were explained by encoding-related attentio

This study concerns the identification and characterisation of volatile components of fruits, and evaluation of the effect of heat treatment and drying on retention or loss of volatiles of fruits. The investigation included developing a procedure to extract volatile components from the fruit matrix, a purification step, separation, identification and quantification. Initial experiments with Vangue

The following thesis examines the work of the early swedish transplant surgeons with special regards to the question of organ procurement. Through a careful reading of letters during 1971-1986, left from one prominent swedish transplant surgeons of that time – Sven-Eric Bergentz – I investigate how clinicians sought ways to solve the controversial problem of organ procurement. The institutionaliza
A number of steel bridges have suffered lateral-torsional failure during their construction due to their lacking adequate lateral and/or rotational stiffness. In most cases, slight bracing can be of great benefit to the main girders involved through their controlling out-of-plane deformations and enabling the resistance that is needed to be achieved. The present research concerned the performance
In Sweden there is a first language Swedish and minority languages such as Finnish, Tornedalen Finnish, Romany, Samian, and Yiddish. Although English is not a second language in Sweden some people suggest it should be. From the age of nine children start to learn the English language in school. English is a core subject in the school system alongside Swedish and math. In several companies it is th
