Previous studies demonstrated that neuropeptides are transported with fast axonal transport. Considerable amounts (30-40%) of anterogradely transported peptides accumulated distal to a crush, apparently recycling to the cell bodies. In the present study, we used primary and compartmented cultures of sympathetic cervical ganglia (SCG) to address questions on the origin of the recycling peptides. In

We investigated the vertical distribution, storage, landscape partitioning, and spatial variability of soil amorphous silica (ASi) at four different sites underlain by continuous permafrost and representative of mountainous and lowland tundra, in the circum-Arctic region. Based on a larger set of data, we present the first estimate of the ASi soil reservoir (0-1 m depth) in circum-Arctic tundra te

Despite the importance of both response probability and response time for testing models of choice there is a dearth of chronometric studies examining systematic asymmetries that occur over time- and space-orders in the method of paired comparisons. In this study, systematic asymmetries in discriminating the magnitude of paired visual stimuli are examined by way of log-odds ratios of binary respon

This thesis will examine the provisions of the International Deposit Netting Agreement (IDNA), published by the British Bankers’ Association in 1996. The thesis takes the perspective of an eligible party to the agreement and analyses the interpretations of the agreement. There is a limited amount of documentation available regarding the interpretation of the IDNA, wherefore all thoughts and conclu

Adults normally perceive auditory scenes in terms of sound patterns emitted by concurrently active sources. Thus pattern formation is an important process of auditory object perception. The aim of the present study was to determine whether neonates group sounds by repeating pitch patterns. Standard ("S"; p = 80%) and deviant tones ("D", p = 20%) differing only in pitch were delivered either in a r

The quest of developing the logistics discipline, with a more theoretical foundation, is something several authors have emphasized and called for. Today one could argue that most of the research on logistics has a strong connection to the positivistic paradigm where there is a great emphasis on prediction, rationality and control in the solutions produced. In order to challenge the common assumpti

Background: Patient education (PE) is a core treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) with the aim to increase persons’ knowledge, self-efficacy, and empowerment. Objective: To describe person’s various experiences of learning processes in PE for OA. Design: Phenomenography. Method: Semi-structured interviews were performed with the same persons, pre- (11) and post- (9) education. Results: Various experie

The wall flameholder is one of the credible alternatives to realize pilot ignition in augmented/ramjet combustors. To overcome the ablation for a long-term operation, two types of jet cooling, external-inhaled air and pressure-driven jet cooling, are proposed for the wall flameholder. In this work, the flow and combustion process in a laboratory scale rig is studied for different cooling schemes a

The exhibition and public programme “Systems, Organisms, Symbiosis” reopens again at EIGHT (Polytechniou 8) from 23 September to 22 October 2021. It focuses on active interactions of systems, beings, organisms and narratives as these take place in urban, social and environmental fields. Thinking through notions of mutation, immunity and continuity it explores emergent instituent forms, models of c

The informed consent process for clinical trials (CTs) is complex. Patients must be able to understand the information given to be able to make an informed decision. This thesis aimed to explore patients’ and patient representatives’ views, factual knowledge, and perceived understanding of patient information in clinical cancer trials, and to investigate how patients’ understanding may be correlat

This paper uses the three spatial design workshops D-Thinking Urban Strategy; Re-Ts >> Space(s) Innovation, and ZHUuGROUND 14 as the intellectual framework to evaluate experimentation as a pedagogical model in current interdisciplinary design education. The three workshops were conducted by the independent teaching and research organization, the Research Institute for Experimental Architecture (RI

This study investigates xenoliths present in various dykes on Tenerife, the Canary Islands. These xenoliths were studied by means of fieldwork, petrographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser fluorination, and LA-ICP-MS. In conjunction these analyses enable the understanding of the magmatic structures beneath the Anaga massif, with a conceptualisation of the formation of this volcanic s

This study presents reconstructions of black carbon (BC), including spheroidal and amorphous carbonaceous particles (SCP and ACP), organic matter (OM; total organic carbon, TOC; total nitrogen, TN; total sulfur, TS), and heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, As and Hg) in coastal sediments off the south-west coast of Sweden. Sediment records from eight stations along a north-south transect off the south-w

En viktig utgångspunkt i straffrätten är det individuella ansvaret. Människor begår däremot ofta brott tillsammans. Denna uppsats handlar hur det straffrättsligt bör hanteras när flera personer begår brott gemensamt. Syftet med uppsatsen är att behandla den rubriceringsproblematik som kan uppstå när en tilltalad står åtalad för ett brott som är begånget i gemenskap. Begreppslig klarhet är genomgThe foundation of Criminal liability is the condition that everyone is responsible for their own actions, and those actions alone. People however, often commit crime together. This thesis deals with criminal liability when people commit crime as a collective. With the aim of conceptual clarity, the purpose of this essay is to process the classification problem that may arise when a defendant is

This thesis investigates how the integration of post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) systems would affect combined heat and power (CHP) plant performance, using DWSIM, an open- source process simulation tool. A case study on a CHP plant in southern Sweden was conducted, with models simulated for both baseline and CCS-integrated operation. DWSIM proved accurate within a relative error of under 3 %
