Proteins are tiny chemical machines that play many critical roles in our body. Some proteins send important messages, some carry crucial supplies, some fight with invaders and protect body from diseases, some clear trash etc. Proteins are strings of hundreds and thousands of small units called amino acids. If the string is built from less than hundred amino acids, it is called a peptide. DNA, a loThe pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease is widely believed to be due to production and deposition of the amyloid β-peptide. Several variants of the Aβ peptide are known to exist in in vivo. Variations include mutations or additional functional groups attached to residue side chains and may affect the aggregation process. Early on-set Alzheimer’s is caused by a variety of single amino acid substitu

BACKGROUND: Health-promoting interventions tailored to support older persons to remain in their homes, so-called "ageing in place" is important for supporting or improving their health. The health-promoting programme "Elderly Persons in the Risk Zone," (EPRZ) was set up for this purpose and has shown positive results for maintaining independence in activities of daily living for older persons 80 y

Background: The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipi

This essays investigates the relationship between central banks, monetary policy and asset prices. Assets are defined as stocks and real estate. Inflations is treated as a purely monetary phenomenon caused by too much money being created, more then is appropriate according to the quantity equation. This as opposed to the New Keynesian theory where no special interest in asset prices is taken when

A study of crack propagation paths in the situation where the crack is suppressed to open during growth due to high compressive forces has been performed. This problem was analyzed theoretically very recently by the authors and is here extended to involve a limited number of illustrative experimental results reported elsewhere in the literature. By analyzing the experimental crack growth patterns,

Popular Abstract in English There is a natural tendency to take advantage of the most convenient energy source available. In this usage, convenient may mean most abundant, easiest to harvest or simplest to handle. Convenient will also correspond to cheapest in many instances. However, some consider it a responsibility to think of the long term costs of the energy we use. No form of energy is free The matured laser-diagnostic techniques of planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) were applied to a prototype gas turbine burner operating on various fuels. The work was performed to provide verification of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models of the combustion of atypical fuels in a gas turbine combustor. The burner was operated using methane and three s

HAMLET (human -lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a complex of human -lactalbumin and oleic acid (C18:1:9 cis) that kills tumor cells by an apoptosis-like mechanism. Previous studies have shown that a conformational change is required to form HAMLET from -lactalbumin, and that a partially unfolded conformation is maintained in the HAMLET complex. This study examined if unfolding of -lactal

Information flows can affect people’s apprehension of the pandemic and related behaviors. The aim is to explore how people access and assess COVID-19 information and whether sociodemographic factors are associated with these processes. Quantitative data from 928 persons from 29 countries who participated in an international web-based survey was analyzed with descriptive and analytic statistics.

Idrottsrörelsen är i dag Sveriges största folkrörelse och idrotten är världen över en angelägenhet för väldigt många människor. Idrottsrörelsen har en lång tradition av autonomi och självbestämmande, som tillsammans med en tilltagande kommersialisering har förstärkts av ett stort användande av skiljeavtal och egna skiljenämnder. Detta har gett upphov till frågan när allmänna domstolar egentligen b

Bergholm, H. 2014. Memory and life pattern: Identity of Forest Finns in three excavated settlements from the early modern period. From the 1580s until the mid 1600s the “Forest Finns” – stemming from the area Savolax in eastern Finland – colonized parts of central and north Sweden. There were several factors that caused this migration; war and overpopulation were two of those factors. The purpos

With an increasing amount of literature on the convergence of archives and libraries as a point of departure, this thesis examines how archives and libraries respectively assign metadata to informational resources with queer content. Thereby, the thesis contribute to a theoretical convergence between the two institutions. A mixed method approach with quantitative and qualitative methods was chos

Objectives: The aim was to explore adolescents’ beliefs and awareness regarding fertility and preconception health, as well as their views and experiences of information about fertility and preconception health directed at their age group. Methods: We performed seven semi-structured focus group interviews among upper secondary school students (n = 47) aged 16–18 years in two Swedish counties. Data

Expansions of innovation policies have been paralleled with an increase in the evaluations of such policies. Yet, there are few systematic evaluations of how such evaluations are conducted, by whom, and their overall conclusions. We analyze 110 evaluations of innovation policy in Sweden from 2005 to 2019. Our findings show that the majority of these evaluations are positive, about one-third are neExpansions of innovation policies have been paralleled with an increasein the evaluations of such policies.
