Fotoreceptorerna - tappar och stavar - i ögats näthinna behövs för vår syn men är mycket sårbara, och sjukdomar kan göra att de degenererar och dör, vilket ger svår synnedsättning eller blindhet. En sådan sjukdom är Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), som drabbar ungefär 1 på 3000-4000 personer. RP-sjukdomen är ärftlig och beror på genmutationer, men det är oklart hur dessa får fotoreceptorerna att dö och The rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina of the eye are crucial for our vision, but also vulnerable to diseases, which can make them degenerate and die. Such diseases include Retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a heritable disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 3.000 – 4000 people. RP comes from gene mutations but it is not clear how these cause the degeneration and there are no therapies available.

Avdelningen Studentstöd och lärande ger service och stöd till studenter och består av tre arbetsgrupper: Pedagogiskt studentstöd, Studieverkstaden och SI-verksamhet.Student Support and Learning provide service and support to students, and comprises three working groups: Disability Support Services, the Academic Support Centre, and the Supplemental Instruction unit.

Unhealthful lifestyles underpin much of the burden of cardiometabolic disease affecting contemporary societies. Our overarching objective is to discover and optimise measurable biomarkers that can be used to stratify patient populations into subgroups that can be treated more effectively with targeted lifestyle therapies, at lesser cost and with fewer adverse events than conventional approaches

Head of unit is Associate Professor Simon Timpka, MD, PhD. The overarching aim of our work in the Perinatal and Cardiovascular Epidemiology (PACE) unit is to improve the health of women and their children across the life-span through high-quality research. Whilst trying to doing so, we also strive to provide excellent training to students and junior colleagues through supervision, mentoring, and

The phenomena of landgrabbing and monopolizing of water sources have gained increasing attention in recent years. Nevertheless, very few studies have dealt with the problem of the grabbing and concentration of resources from an ethnographic perspective that would make it possible to illustrate the different ways in which dispossession takes place, as well as its concrete mechanisms and effects in

LEVIC är en tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp med forskare från juridik, filosofi, kognitiv psykologi och matematisk statistik. Vår forskning handlar om bevisvärdering, framförallt bevisvärdering i brottmål. Vi undersöker empiriskt hur bevisvärdering görs i domstolarna, och vi är särskilt intresserade av kognitiv bias, t.ex. olika typer av matematiska tankefel i de sannolikhetsbedömningar som uppkommeLEVIC is a cross-disciplinary research group with researchers from law, philosophy, cognitive psychology and statistics. Our research concerns legal fact-finding, especially criminal evidence. We investigate empirically how legal decision-makers (judges or jurors) evaluate evidence, and we are particularly interested in cognitive bias and probabilistic fallacies. We do research that aims to improv

All the cells of the individuals with phenotypes "p" y "Pk" lack the glucidic antigens of "public" blood groups. These subjects form natural and regular antibodies against the missing structures (anti-P, anti-PP1 y anti-PP1Pk) that agglutínate or hemolyze the red-blood cells of every individual, excepting those with the same phenotype. Due to the exceptional character of these pictures (a few indi

Vid avdelningen bedrivs forskning med produkter, processer och människan i fokus. Fysikaliska, kemiska och processtekniska aspekter vid industriell livsmedelsproduktion är en del av detta. Vidare bedrivs forskning kring värme- och masstransport i fasta livsmedel, membranteknik och värme-, mass- och impulstransport i flytande livsmedel, likaså forskning kring strukturförändringar och kvalitetsegensThe division conducts research with a focus on products, processes and people. Physical, chemical and process engineering aspects of industrial food production are part of this. Furthermore, research is conducted on heat and mass transport in solid foods, membrane technology and heat and mass transport in liquid foods, as well as research on structural changes and quality properties in the chain f

The purpose of this thesis is to propose some feminist tools to study possible sexism in the album Motomami (2022) by Rosalía. In order to achieve the purpose, the most controversial songs and music videos of the album are critically analyzed: “Saoko” and “Hentai”. Both textual and visual aspects are analyzed. The analysis itself is connected to feminist literature. Additionally, it studies how Ro
