Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease. Most cases of AD are considered idiopathic and likely due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle-related risk factors. Despite occurring decades before the typical age of an AD diagnosis, early-life stress (ELS) has been suggested to have long-lasting effects that may contribute to AD risk and pathogenesis. S
This thesis deals with local government bodies, especially municipalities, as parties to contracts. It primarily focuses on general problems relating to the competence of a municipality to enter into contracts, and the subsequent legal effects, in light ofthe principles and rules ofpublic and private law. When analysing a contract to which a governmental body is a party, it is necessary to conside
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative and progressive disorder characterised by intracytoplasmic inclusions called Lewy bodies (LB) and degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Aggregated α-synuclein (αSYN) is known to be the main component of the LB. It has also been reported to interact with several proteins and organelles. Galectin-3 (GAL3) is known to have a
Air pollution in urban environments exhibits large spatial and temporal variations due to high heterogeneous air flow and emissions. To address the complexity of local air pollutant dynamics, a comprehensive large-eddy simulation using the PALM model system v6.0 was conducted. The distribution of flow and vehicle emitted aerosol particles in a realistic urban environment in Malmö, Sweden, was stud
The in-flow focusing method, introduced herein, enables rapid and straightforward measurements of the whole-channel acoustic energy of acoustic flow-through devices. The method is applied to assess the whole-channel acoustic energy and acoustophoretic efficiency frequency spectra of a bottom-actuated silicon-glass and a side-actuated glass chip. The input variables are the time-independent geometr
Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by CAG expansions in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Modelling Huntington's disease is challenging, as rodent and cellular models poorly recapitulate the disease as seen in aging humans. To address this, we generated induced neurons (iNs) through direct reprogramming of human skin fibroblasts, which retain age-dependent epigenetic charact
Acoustophoresis has become a powerful tool to separate microparticles and cells, based on their material and biophysical properties, and is gaining popularity in clinical and biomedical research. One major application of acoustophoresis is to measure the compressibility of cells and small organisms, which is related to their contents. The cell compressibility can be extracted from the acoustic mob
Generating functional and perfusable micro-vascular networks is an important goal for the fabrication of large and three-dimensional tissues. Up to now, the fabrication of micro-vascular networks is a complicated multitask involving several different factors such as time consuming, cells survival, micro-diameter vasculature and strict alignment. Here, we propose a technique combining multi-materia
The nexus between the environment, natural resources and (armed) violence has been researched since the end of the nineties, however major theoretical and empirical gaps still exists in research on the precise role of nature or the natural environment during post-conflict and/or peacebuilding, particularly in relation to those countries that have undergone internal armed conflict.This paper presen
Over the years, remanufacturing practices have grown in popularity in industrial areas. It is one of the most effective ways to keep products out of landfills by turning end-of-life items into usable products. However, the available literature on cost models is limited or specific to a product. A general cost model for remanufacturing is presented in this paper to understand the major costs involvOver the years, remanufacturing practices have grown in popularity in industrial areas.

Purpose: This article problematizes the dominant functionalistic and organization‑centric view of employees’ communication engagement on social media and challenges the assumption that such engagement merely reflects managerial success or failure. Adopting an employee‑centred, relational approach, the study advances the understanding of employees’ communication engagement by foregrounding the tensPurpose: This article problematizes the dominant functionalistic and organization‑centric view of employees’ communication engagement on social media and challenges the assumption that such engagement merely reflects managerial success or failure.

Som ett led i de åtaganden som ställs på de länder som har undertecknat Kyotoprotokollet måste landvisa kolbudgetar fastställas. För att fastlägga bra kolbudgetar är det viktigt att kunna göra bra uppskattningar av kolmängden inom olika geografiska områden. Detta dels för att kunna uppskatta befintliga mängder och dels för att kunna påvisa förändringar över tiden. Denna studie hade som huvudmål atAs part of the undertakings of the Kyoto treaty, country-wise carbon balances must be brought forward. To do this, it is important to be able to make good estimations of the amount of carbon in forest areas. The reasons for this are to estimate the existing amounts as well as to prove changes over time. The main goal of this study was to estimate the amount of carbon stored in trees in a hundred-y
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kadmium är en tungmetall som liksom andra tungmetaller finns naturligt i miljön. Genom att människan finner användning för kadmium och använder sig av produkter som har kadmium som en förorening i sig kan större mängder ansamlas på ett ställe än vad som är naturligt. Kadmium kan man finna i bilar, båtar och andra maskiners metalldelar men också i avgaserna som sModelling of pollutants is commonly used in research and at departments working with environmental issues. The need to use large amounts of data when modelling creates the opportunity for more generalised models with lower data demands. Aggregating functions into coarser elements is a sort of generalisation of actual features in nature. A development of a method and a modelling tool called “Kadmiu

Popular Abstract in Swedish De fyra essäerna i Sickness Insurance: Design and Behavior studerar sjukförsäkringens utformning ur både ett empiriskt och ett teoretiskt perspektiv. Den första essän bygger på en enkätstudie och innehåller två delar. I den första delen undersöks människors preferenser för olika utformningar av sjukförsäkringen, där de olika utformningarna förväntas ge ungefär samma kosThe first essay presents the results from a questionnaire study of sickness insurance and sickness absence behavior in Sweden. In the first part, people’s preferences for the design of a sickness insurance are discussed. Three combinations of qualifying days and compensation rates, with approximately the same costs within the insurance system, are compared. From the questionnaire it is concluded t
