A better understanding of this heterogeneity may reveal important disease mechanisms underlying the malignancy of AD. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between AD pathologies and early death in AD caused by dementia. Methods: At a memory clinic, 247
Treatment of [Fe-3(CO)(12)] with tri(2-furyl)phosphine (PFu(3)) or tri(2-thienyl)phosphine (PTh3) in dichloromethane at 40 degrees C leads to facile phosphorus carbon bond scission affording di-iron furyl- and thienyl-bridged complexes [Fe-2(CO)(6)(mu-eta(1),eta(2)-C4H3E)(mu-P(C4H3E)(2))] (1 E = O, Fu; 3 E = S, Th) in good yields, together with smaller amounts of the phosphine-substituted [Fe-2(CO
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är en sjukdom som främst drabbar äldre och är den största anledningen till att människor får olika slags handikapp såsom förlamning och afasi. Det finns ännu ingen effektiv behandling för att lindra symtom och lidande efter en stroke, förutom rehabilitering, och därför kostar stroke samhället enormt mycket pengar. Befolkningen blir allt äldre, vilket även medför Cell replacement by neural transplantation can, in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases, reconstruct damaged brain circuitry. In the clinical situation, the graft material used for cell therapy must, most likely, be of human origin. The human fetal brain is one potential source of neural stem cells (NSCs) for cell replacement therapy in neurodegenerative disorders such as stroke. Stroke is

När företag i intressegemenskap genomför värdeöverföringar över nations-gränser genom transaktioner som inte skulle ägt rum mellan oberoende parter, kan skattemyndigheter tillämpa så kallade korrigeringsregler. Då justerar man upp resultatet för företaget som genomförde överföringen ge-nom felaktig prissättning, och kan sedan beskatta den vinsten som skulle funnits där. För att undvika onödiga kosWhen associated enterprises move profits across national borders through transactions that would not take place between independent parties, tax aut-horities may apply so-called transfer pricing rules. They will adjust the results of the company that performed the transfer by incorrect pricing ar-rangements, and tax the profit that would have been there, were it not for the incorrect transfer pric
Bacterial respiration and biomass growth are important processes for carbon cycling in freshwater ecosystems and bacterial respiration is often quantified from measured O2 concentrations by using a respiratory quotient (RQ=O2 consumed to produce CO2, in moles) of 1. Recent studies have shown, however, that RQs can vary a lot in different aquatic ecosystems (0.5-5), which may lead to an under- or o
The steel industry in Sweden is responsible for 10% of the annual Swedish CO2 emissions. As a way to abate this sector, H2 Green Steel are establishing a new green steel production site in Boden. Their way of producing steel, through the EAF route and by using hydrogen-reduced DRI will reduce the CO2 emissions by over 90%. Besides iron ore, steel scrap is the most important input raw material for
Risk-informed development aims to include complex risks into all levels and phases of decision-making. Going beyond the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management, risk-informed development emerged after the 2015 global agreements (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals) and represents a rationale to consider m
Barnäktenskap är ett fenomen som är vanligt förekommande i stora delar av världen. År 2004 infördes lagbestämmelser om att utländska barnäktenskap inte ska erkännas i Sverige om minst en av parterna haft anknytning till Sverige. För att stärka skyddet mot barnäktenskap skärptes lagen ytterligare år 2014. Under år 2018 lade regeringen fram ett förslag till ny lag om att förbjuda erkännandet av utläChild marriage is a phenomenon existing in many parts of the world. In 2004 a new law came into force stating that Sweden does not recognize foreign child marriages if at least one of the parts has ties to Sweden. In order to achieve an increased protection against child marriage the legislation was further strengthened in 2014. In 2018 the Swedish government presented a proposition to a new law f
Den senaste tidens genetiska utveckling har medfört stora möjligheter att genom assisterad befruktning hjälpa naturen på traven för par som av olika anledningar inte kan få barn på naturlig väg. Man kan insemineras, ägg kan befruktas utanför kroppen och man kan använda sig av donerade ägg eller spermier. Man kan till och med hyra en livmoder. Möjligheterna ökar och fler och fler kan bli föräldrar The recent development in the area of assisted reproductive technology has entailed large opportunities to help childless couples to get pregnant. Today, women can get inseminated and their eggs can be fertilized outside their bodies. Donated gametes can be used and you can even rent a uterus. The possibilities are growing – but to what cost? Assisted reproduction means a deviation from the natur

Frågan om hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska göras på självförvållat berusade personer är erkänt problematisk, och de olika lösningar som finns tycks aldrig bereda en fullständig tillfredställelse. Just balansgången mellan å ena sidan effektivitetsskälen och å andra sidan rättsäkerheten har visat sig svår att gå, då de är två motstående intressen som båda behöver tillgodoses för att uppnå en fullgod lösniThe question about how the subjective test of intention shall be done on self-induced intoxicated persons has been recognized as problematic, and the various solutions available never seem to give sufficient satisfaction.
