Although primarily targeting the respiratory system, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) also manifests with central nervous system (CNS)-related symptoms in up to 80% of the patients. Little is known not only about SARS-CoV-2 neuropathology, but also about the clinical course of pre-existing CNS autoimmune disease and concurrent SARS-CoV-2-infection. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent
Moral distress in nursing is a widely-acknowledged phenomenon that has been linked to decreased patient care, burnouts and job turnover. Thereby, it is often described by quantitative studies which lack insights in feelings and perceptions of affected nurses. Our thesis approached the phenomenon differently by interpreting narratives. These were identified through a qualitative study in cooperatio
Popular Abstract in Swedish Celler som har förmågan att ge upphov till nästan alla typer av mogna celler i en organism kallas för pluripotenta stamceller. Förutom deras förmåga att bilda olika specialiserade celltyper har pluripotenta stamceller även den unika förmågan att genomgå ett obegränsat antal celldelningar. Under utvecklingen av en organism genomgår pluripotenta stamceller en process somDuring direct cellular reprogramming, forced expression of key transcription factors (TFs) directly converts one terminally differentiated cell type into that of another fate, exemplified in this theses by the conversion of fibroblasts into functional induced neurons (iNs). Direct conversion of mouse fibroblasts to functional neurons was established in 2010, and the starting point of my doctoral
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer är ett samlingsnamn för en grupp av sjukdomar som karakteriseras av att cellerna delar sig okontrollerat, till skillnad mot kroppens friska celler. Det leder till att en tumör kan bildas och cellerna kan därifrån sprida sig till andra delar av kroppen och ge upphov till dottertumörer, även kallade metastaser. I Sverige uppskattar man att cirka var tredje person kSmall cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) is a very aggressive solid tumor and is often widely metastasized by the time of diagnosis. Despite good response to the initial chemotherapy, SCLC cells often develop multidrug resistance to conventionally used chemotherapeutic drugs, which cause almost all SCLC tumors to relapse. The 5-year survival rate for patients with limited disease is around 20% while it is
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hjärnan är ett av människans viktigaste organ och är det centra som styr våra känslor, minnen och sociala färdigheter. Hjärnan är också det organ som signalerar till musklerna i kroppen att utföra rörelser. När en person drabbas av Parkinsons sjukdom minskar signaleringen till musklerna, vilket medför att det blir svårt att röra sig och stelhet uppstår. Sjukdomen beror Cell-replacement therapy is a promising approach for treating patients with Parkinson ́s disease (PD). For this purpose, there is a need for developing a protocol that can generate high numbers of human transplantable mesencephalic dopaminer- gic (mesDA) neurons. For decades, studies have therefore been made in mouse and other model organisms in order to elucidate key-factors that can be used for
A major drawback of the defibration or refining process in manufacturing pulp is that of its large energy requirements. If the mechanics of the process were better understood, large amounts of energy could probably be saved. The initial defibration seems to be crucial for both the quality of the pulp and the total consumption of energy. Numerical simulations by means of the finite element method r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingen är att studera relationen mellan ekonomisk knapphet och konsumtion med fokus på barnfamiljer. Avhandlingen handlar huvudsakligen om att teoretiskt försöka förstå vad ekonomisk knapphet kan innebära i förhållande till ett konsumtions- eller överflödssamhälle som det svenska. Barnfamiljer används som ett empiriskt exempel för att illustrera de teorThe object of this thesis has been to study the relationship between consumption and economic scarcity from a theoretical perspective. I have used families with children as an empirical example to illustrate the theoretical framework. There are two main questions: The first focuses on the structures that create specific conditions for low-income consumers. The second relates to how the households
Cancer is a major cause of human morbidity and mortality, and the risk of developing cancer is about one in three life times. Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial solid tumor among children and arises from early sympathetic nervous system (SNS) cells arrested in their development. Generally, a low tumor cell differentiation correlates to poor prognosis. Solid tumors, like neuroblastoma,

DESIGN: Part 1: double blind randomized
Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
The phonological status and behaviour of schwa ('e-caduc') constitues one of the most widely investigated topics in the synchronic study of French phonology. A considerable amount of research is directed towards the attempt to account for the phonetic level alternatin of schwa with zero in certain environments. Proposed explanations vary considerably depending on the theoretical approach t
Säkerhetsläget i Europa har förändrats drastiskt under de senaste åren, med de två största förändringarna i Rysslands invasion av Ukraina, och NATO:s expandering med Sverige och Finland som nya medlemsstater. Den ökade militariseringen i Europa har också resulterat i att en gammal fråga nu igen dykt upp i den allmänna debatten, nämligen frågan om Åland borde remili-tariseras i syfte att säkra ÖsteThe security in Europe has changed dramatically during recent years, with the two most significant changes being Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and NATO:s expansion with Sweden and Finland as new member states. The increasing militarization in Europe has also brought back an old question into the public debate, namely if the Åland islands should be re-militarized with the purpose of securing the Ba
Det är endast svenska medborgare som innehar en ovillkorlig rätt att vistas i Sverige. Motsatsvis åtnjuter utländska medborgare inte denna rättighet. Om en utlänning begår brott innanför Sveriges gränser kan denne, vid sidan av brottspåföljden, även utvisas ifrån riket kombinerat med ett återreseförbud som varar en viss tid eller livstid. Utvisning är således inte en brottspåföljd i lagens mening,Only Swedish citizens have an unconditional right to reside in Sweden. Conversely, foreign nationals do not enjoy this right. If a foreigner commits a crime within the borders of Sweden, they may, in addition to the criminal penalty, also be deported from the country, combined with a re-entry ban lasting a certain period of time or a lifetime. Deportation is thus not considered a criminal penalty
The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to
Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of
What happens when open, informal spaces disappear – and specifically, what happens when these spaces disappear in a city that used to be full of them? My project is rooted in two things. The first is the highly debated ”Amazon Tower” in Friedrichshain, and the polarized urban conditions around it. The second is my love for Berlin. Berlin has always been a city in flux. However, the latest round
Vi kan idag se en ökande urbanisering i världen, 2018 bodde 53% av jordens befolkning i städer, en siffra som väntas öka till 60% till år 2030. Samtidigt mänsklighetens utsläpp av växthusgaser gett upphov till ökade temperaturer, som i sin tur leder till förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilka manifesteras i form av bland annat extrema regn. Detta har lett till ett ökat behov av att göra städer mer håThere is an increasing urbanization taking place in the world today, in 2018, 53% of the global population lived in cities, a figure that is expected to rise to 60% by 2030. At the same time, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses give rise to increasing temperatures, which in turn lead to changed precipitation patterns, which manifest in the form of extreme rain events among other phenomena

Objective Type I interferons (IFN) drive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) pathogenesis. Some patients develop neutralizing IFN autoantibodies (anti-IFN ab), which theoretically could modify disease activity. We aimed to determine the prevalence of anti-IFN ab in patients with SLE, identify the age and when during the disease course of anti-IFN ab emerge, and assess their association with organ d
