Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a very efficient treatment for severe depression. However, cognitive side effects have raised concern to whether ECT can cause cellular damage in vulnerable brain regions. A few recent animal studies have reported limited hippocampal cell loss, while a number of other studies have failed to find any signs of cellular damage and some even report that electroconvul
Popular Abstract in Swedish År 2014 är ordet "kolhydrater" för de flesta människor förknippat med kost och olika dieter. Det må vara en viktig aspekt, men dock långt från den viktigaste. Kolhydrater utför nämligen en rad viktiga processer i levande organismer. Av de 200 mest säljande läkemedelsprodukterna på den amerikanska marknaden 2012, har omkring 75 % av dem en aktiva substans som består av sIn my research, I have explored various aspects of acetals and their reactivity. Acetals have a central role in carbohydrate chemistry as an inherent functionality and as versatile protecting groups. The first part of the thesis summarizes results on regioselective reductive openings of benzylidene acetals. We thus used deuterium substituted benzylidene acetals and boranes, to investigate stereose
Eli F. Heckscher found that in 16'th century Sweden: 1) indirect barter was the most common exchange method and 2) monetary exchange was carried out with different coins, none a generally accepted medium of exchange. These findings refute models of the emergence of money, which builds on Jevons and Menger. Heckscher and later Wesley C. Mitchell thought the historical evolution of the exchange syst
This is a study of the Danish nobility in the period 1450-1650. The aim is to show the changes in the socio-economic foundations of this group under advance during the period, and how this corresponded with changes in the methods and articulations which were used to create legitimicy för the nobility and its' resource claims. Among else we can see that the discourse supposed to ground the legitima
Packaging has a significant impact on the efficiency of logistical systems and therefore, improvements in the retail supply chain can be achieved through the integration and development of the systems of packaging and logistics. In order to enable these improvements, models are needed that facilitate evaluations along the supply chain in order to grasp the whole picture and avoid sub-optimisations

This dissertation concerns the field of applied psychiatry and focuses on the problems that are associated with the care and treatment of adult patients with autism spectrum disorders. The conditions that are described are valid for Swedish psychiatry and cannot be directly generalized to conditions outside of the country.
Ageing, with increases in the old-age dependency ratio, puts a strain on pension systems organised as a pay-as-you-go system. The question asked is whether the Swedish system will be politically as weill as financially stable in the future. The design is described and analysed with resspect to sustainability.
We deal with a natural integer-linear programming formulation of the routing and spectrum allocation (RSA) problem in elastic optical networks. We focus on strengthening the formulation with valid inequalities (cuts). For this purpose we apply clique inequalities that proved to be useful in other applications of this kind. We develop and combine a clique cut generation procedure with a column gene
By the autumn of 1966, the PRC government had enjoyed seventeen years of uninterrupted and complete domestic information dominance. Independent collection of information was hampered by way of a CCP culture of secrecy and successfully enforced regimen of information curtailment. Of the changes in the political landscape triggered by Mao Zedong’s August 1966 decision to label part of government off

The purpose of risk management in the development of safety-critical software is to eliminate or reduce harmful behaviour. In health-care it is essential to manage risk related to software due to its increased use in medical devices and other computer systems. This paper presents some of the experiences gained from an ongoing case study at a large hospital in Sweden. The study focuses on identific
