Abstract The aims of the present thesis were to examine neuropeptide Y (NPY) responses in different human and guinea pig vascular beds and in cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and to characterize, with different NPY agonists and the specific NPY Y1 receptor antagonist (BIBP3226), the NPY receptors involved. NPY-induced strong and potent contractions in human cerebral and subcutan
Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) are animal models for human rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and can be induced in susceptible mouse and rat strains. CIA is induced by immunization of type II collagen (CII), a cartilage specific protein together with Freund’s adjuvant. PIA is induced by intradermal injection of pristane (2,6,10,14-tetrametylpentadecane). In rats, in
This thesis focuses on the influence of volcanism on the compositions of the aerosols in the upper troposphere (UT) and lowermost stratosphere (LMS), and their direct and indirect impact on climate. Aerosol data were obtained by aircraft-borne sampling, using the CARIBIC (Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container) platform, and laboratory-based
Part I: Plant peroxidases are useful in many areas of application e.g. as tracer enzymes for clinical applications and in biosensors as well as for industrial purposes like in waste water treatment and bleaching processes. A gene encoding a new, neutral horseradish peroxidase isoenzyme, HRP-n, was isolated. The encoded protein shows only 50% sequence identity with the classical HRP-C and lacks the
At present, clinical outcome or response to therapy can not be fully predicted in individual cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The overall aim of the present studies was to investigate potential prognostic factors, more closely related to the malignant progression of a tumor than the established markers, such as the TNM-classification system. Tumor samples were investi
Förtal har, mot bakgrund av #metoo-rörelsens framväxt, fått ökad samhällelig uppmärksamhet. Främst kvinnor har blivit dömda för förtal i samband med offentliga uttalanden om upplevelser av sexuella övergrepp, där dem pekat ut en viss man som deras förövare. Offentliga uttalanden om en annans brotts-lighet eller förkastlighet, trots dess sanning, är kriminaliserat i Sverige. San-ningsbevisning till

Barnäktenskap är en angelägenhet som med internationella såväl som nationella medel motarbetas. Bland annat har Förenta nationerna (FN) uttalat att arbetet mot en nolltolerans mot barnäktenskap ska ses som en del av de globala målen som ska uppnås innan 2030. FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter, allt oftast igenkänd som barnkonventionen, kopplar förbud mot barnäktenskap till fem olika rättighetChild marriage is a matter that is countered by international as well as national means. Among other things, the United Nations (UN) has stated that work towards a zero tolerance for child marriage should be seen as part of the global goals to be achieved by 2030. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, most often recognized as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, links ban on child ma
Riksdagsdebatten om gängvåldet i Sverige har resulterat i ett förslag om en tillsatt utredning kring ett införande av möjligheten att vittna anonymt. Utredningen, som nu tas vidare av regeringen, är en av flera åtgärder som vidtas för att bryta tystnadskulturen inom organiserad brottslighet. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda om det finns tillräckliga skäl för en användning av anonyma vittne
I Sverige råder allmän vittnesplikt. En person är därför skyldig att vittna inför domstol om hon eller han blir kallad som vittne. Att vittna anonymt är inte tillåtet. Rädsla för att behöva utstå hot och våld har gjort att det idag blivit svårare att få folk att vittna, vilket innebär stora bevissvårigheter i mål som främst rör grov och organiserad brottslighet. Från flera håll har därför röster h

Type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent disorders with severe complications such as cardiovascular disease. The aetiology of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is not known, but the interaction between genetic factors and environmental triggers is important. The aim this thesis was to identify genetic factors that may increase susceptibility to these disorders by in
Laser sheet imaging, also known as planar laser imaging, is one of the most versatile optical imaging techniques known and is frequently applied in several different domains. It furthermore constitutes the basis for a variety of other 2D methods, in turn allowing visualization of e.g. velocity, particle size, species concentration and temperature. However, when applied on turbid, light scattering
Phosphor Thermometry is a term describing an optical measurement technique for remote temperature sensing. Its working principle is based on the temperature-sensitive emission characteristics of certain ceramic substances termed thermographic phosphors. These inorganic materials can either be coated on objects for surface thermometry or be seeded into the gas phase or into liquid flows as solid pa
This thesis investigates novel electrical nanowire characterization tools and devices. Conventional characterization methods, long available to bulk semiconductor samples, have been adapted and transferred to the nanowire geometry. The first part of the thesis describes the development of Hall effect measurements, an entirely new characterization tool for nanowires. It is shown that Hall effect me
Artikeln undersöker de svenska kommunernas konstitutionella roll i förhållande till EU-rätten. Ramen för undersökningen är spänningen mellan den monolitiska synen på Sverige som en enhetlig medlemsstat och kommunernas grundlagsfästa självstyrelse. Undersökningen uppmärksammar de rättsliga strukturerna och hur dessa förhåller sig till teorier om flernivåstyrning (multi-level governance). Artikeln u
