Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where the midbrain dopaminergic neurons are lost. Presently there is no cure for PD, and the most common treatment is to replace the lost dopamine pharmacologically by administration of the dopamine precursor L-DOPA. This works very well during the initial treatment period, but unfortunately a majority of the patients develop abnormal involu
Popular Abstract in English “We are not free in this area.” This is what the iNduna, a traditional leader at KwaDapha, shared with me when we first met in August 2011. KwaDapha is a small rural community at Bhanga Nek, Kosi Bay, in northern KwaZulu-Natal/Maputaland – one of the most scenic areas on the South African coastline. Kosi Bay falls within the Coastal Forest Reserve section of the iSimaIn the past several decades under a growing influence of ecological modernisation, various assumed ‘win-win’ approaches to protected area conservation and poverty alleviation have been introduced all over the world, especially in resource-rich developing countries. Yet protected area conservation is an inherently political process, and the goals are often not achieved. There are concerns about com
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid en knäprotesoperation ersätts ledytorna i knäet med en protes gjord av metall och plast. Den vanligaste orsaken till denna operation är artros(ledsvikt. Antalet knäprotesoperationer ökar stadigt och 2009 utfördes 12,700 förstagångsoperationer i Sverige. Resultaten är överlag goda men en allvarlig komplikation som drabbar mellan 1 och 2% av patienterna är bakterieinfThe Swedish Knee Arthroplasty Register (SKAR) was used to identify 478 cases that underwent a first-time revision with exchange or removal of the prosthesis due to infection during the years 1986–2000. 30% of the infections were diagnosed within 3 months from primary operation and two-thirds were diagnosed within 2 years. These cases frequently had a history of wound complication after the primar
Popular Abstract in Swedish I gruppen huvudhalscancer ingår tumörer i övre luftvägar och svalg. Riskfaktorer för huvudhalscancer är rökning och alkoholöverkonsumtion. Under de senaste 20-30 åren har det skett en påtaglig ökning av insjuknandet, 4-5% per år, i det som kallas orofaryngeal cancer. Orofaryngeal cancer utgår från mellansvalget; mandlar, tungbas och mjuka gommen. Ökningen sammanfaller mThe treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is surgery or (chemo)radiotherapy +/- surgery. Side effects related to therapy are long lasting and adversely affects quality of life. The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer is increasing and patients commonly present an advanced tumour stage with neck metastases at the time of diagnosis. The treatment protocol previously comprised rad
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mobiltelefonanvändandet förändrades radikalt för några år sedan när de nya grafiska ”touchmobilerna” lanserades och mobilt internet blev inte bara tillgängligt utan också enkelt och använbart för alla. Idag är en ”smart-phone” i det närmaste obligatorisk i handen på såväl vuxna som ungdomar och kraven på datatakt och åtkomst är höga och ökar när allt fler samtidigt anväFor evaluation of specific antenna arrangements in wireless communication systems we need physical channel models that take into account also the directional domain of the propagation channel. In this thesis we investigate, validate and propose a practical approach to wireless channel modeling and, particularly, to mobile communication systems. For this we make the assumption that the channel can
In the rat, gastric histamine is stored predominantly in the enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells, which are located basally in the oxyntic mucosa. The functional significance of histamine in the ECL cells is a matter of speculation. In this study the effect of depletion of histamine on the properties and ultrastructure of the ECL cells was examined. Histamine synthesis was inhibited with alpha-fluor

Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont
Popular Abstract in Swedish En cell är uppbyggd av många olika ämnen som är livsviktiga för dess liv. Polyaminerna – putrescin, spermidin och spermin – är några av dessa ämnen. Celler måste ha tillräckligt mycket polyaminer för att tillväxten ska ske normalt: för lite gör att cellerna slutar att dela sig och för mycket kan omvandla celler till cancer celler. Kunskap om vad polyaminer gör och hur The polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine, are essential for all forms of life. The polyamine biosynthetic pathway has been shown to be a potential target for drugs against various trypanosomal parasitic diseases. The two main enzymes in the biosynthesis of polyamines are ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC). ODC catalyzes the first step of pol
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är i dag den vanligaste cancerformen hos kvinnor i västvärlden. I Sverige insjuknar varje år drygt 6 600 kvinnor, och detta innebär att en av tio kvinnor kommer någon gång under sin livstid att utveckla bröstcancer. Antalet nydiagnostiserade fall av bröstcancer i Sverige har under de senare åren ökat, vilket bl.a. tros bero på den ökade medelåldern i befolknIn recent time breast cancer has become the most common form of female cancer in the western world. It has been estimated that the lifetime risk of women falling ill from the disease is 10%. The number of patients diagnosed each year has been increasing steadily since the 1970s. In 2002 the number of Swedish women diagnosed with breast cancer was 6,600, constituting every third female cancer diagn
Incest är ett brott som under många århundraden bytt både namn och krimi-naliseringsgrunder. Trots att det råder delade meningar huruvida brottet är relevant i dagens lagstiftning finns brottet i 6 kap. 7 § BrB. Brottet har fun-nits ända sedan medeltiden och redan i de tidigaste nedskrivna lagarna finns bestämmelser om incest. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur brottet incest sett ut i Sverige
Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostata cancer är Sveriges vanligaste cancerform. Många patienter med prostata cancer kan bli botade med kirurgi. I en del fall är kurativt syftande behandling inte möjlig. Dessa patienter behandlas då med hormonbehandling. Hormon behandling går ut på att hämma effekten av det maligna könshormonet, testosteron, som både den normala prostata körteln och tumörcellerna ärHormone refractory prostate cancer occurs when androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) fails to stop the growth of prostate cancer for any longer. Recent studies point towards a role for neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in the development of hormone refractory disease. It has been hypothesized that NE-differentiated malignant tumor cells survive during ADT and promote development of androgen-indepen
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the triple bond in N2, making nitrogen available to organisms. The detailed mechanism of this enzyme is currently not known, and computational studies are complicated by the fact that different density functional theory (DFT) methods give very different energetic results for calculations involving nitrogenase models. Recently, we designed a [Fe(SH)4H]
The goal of this contribution is to stimulate a wider reflection on the role of food consumption practices throughout prehistory. We focussed on the Jōmon communities of Hokkaidō Island in Northern Japan since these mobile foragers underwent a process of economic diversification and intensification, eventually leading to higher levels of sedentism across the Pleistocene-Holocene transition.

I samband med äktenskapsskillnad kan frågan om nyttjanderättsersättning aktualiseras om en av makarna tillsvidare bor kvar i en tidigare gemensam bostad. Då det i svensk rätt saknas lagstadgande om nyttjanderättsersättning syftar denna framställning till att klargöra rättsläget, genom att analysera framförallt praxis och doktrin. Avslutningsvis syftar framställningen till att diskutera om tillämpnA question of tenancies compensation can arise during a divorce, if one of two spouses re-mains settled in a former joint home. Due to the fact that Swedish law is missing enactment of this kind of compensation, the purpose of this depiction is to clarify the legal situation by analysing mainly established practice and doctrine. In the conclusion the author will discuss whether the regulations sho
