Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. As many as 250,000 people in Sweden will have a dementia disease in 2050. The »amyloid cascade hypothesis« is a common model which explains how β-amyloid affects the function of the nerve cells. Alzheimer's disease has a long-lasting course and can present in typical and atypical forms. CSF analyses for »core AD CSF biomarkers« and synaptic

Secularization denotes the changing role of religion in the modern period, such as the establishment of legal separation between state and religious authority; the decline in religious belief and practice; and the transformation of religious motifs and symbols into cultural or political ones. In history writing, the concept of secularization raises the fundamental question of the relation of moder

Alternative ways for increased appetite control are today widely sought for due to the growing global health issues connected to obesity. In in vivo studies, oat has been proven an attractive candidate for inducing satiety. Oat is rich in polar lipids, of which the galactolipids are especially interesting, and a hypothesis is that these lipids play an important role for the ileal brake mechanism.

We present results from neutron-imaging studies of slow, vacuum pyrolysis of beech, poplar and conifer wood, and pelletized biomass from room temperature up to 1000 °C. A detailed and quantitative method to extract 2D (in situ neutron radiography, NR) and 3D (ex situ neutron computed tomography, NCT) information on structural transformation and elemental hydrogen content has been developed. NCT an

The emergent patterns of collective motion are thought to arise from application of individual-level rules that govern how individuals adjust their velocity as a function of the relative position and behaviours of their neighbours. Empirical studies have sought to determine such rules of interaction applied by 'average' individuals by aggregating data from multiple individuals across multiple traj

Cement manufacturing and utilization is one of the majorly responsible factors for global CO2 emissions. In light of sustainability and climate change concerns, it is essential to find alternative solutions to reduce the carbon footprint of cement. Secondary cementitious materials (SCMs) are helpful in reducing carbon emissions from concrete. One such solution is the use of agricultural waste as S

Nanoscale structural and electronic heterogeneities are prevalent in condensed matter physics. Investigating these heterogeneities in 3D has become an important task for understanding material properties. To provide a tool to unravel the connection between nanoscale heterogeneity and macroscopic emergent properties in magnetic materials, scanning transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM) is combined wi

Within a collaboration between MAX-lab and BESSY a one stage seeded HGHG-FEL has been set up at Maxlab. BESSY has built the undulator system consisting of a modulator, a radiator and an electromagnetic chicane. BESSY has also installed three types of diagnostic tools: optical fibres for a fast Cherenkov beam loss detection, optical fibres for absolute dose measurements via their radiation-induced

Technical Analysis to Inform the Trigger Design for Adaptive Safety Nets in Malawi 2023 has been prepared by the Finance, Competitiveness & Innovation Global Practice’s Crisis, and Disaster Risk Finance team in collaboration with Tetra Tech, who acted as technical advisors for the World Bank. Funding and expertise were provided by the Disaster Protection Program (funded by the UK) and from the

Energy balance closure is an important feature in studies of ecosystem exchanges of energy and greenhouse gases using the eddy covariance method. Previous analyses show that this is still a problem with imbalances in the order of 0.6–0.7 to full closure (for only a few sites). It has been suggested that mesoscale transport processes that are not captured by the eddy covariance measurements are the

Super adiabatic flame temperature (SAFT) is a distinctive phenomenon in the adiabatic flame where the local maximum temperature exceeds the adiabatic flame temperature. The flame temperatures exhibiting the extent of SAFT are difficult to measure with low uncertainties in experiments, while the laminar burning velocity also represents global flame features, thus could possibly be related to the SA

We present a hitherto unresearched part of a shared Danish and American cultural heritage: Native American objects in Danish regional museum collections. Thus far, we have identified more than 200 Native American artefacts in 27 local museums, largely a result of Danes abroad privately collecting in the late 1800s and 1950s–70s. The majority of these artefacts, many of which are prehistoric in age

Overactive bladder syndrome with and without urinary incontinence and related conditions, signs, and disorders such as detrusor overactivity, neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, underactive bladder, stress urinary incontinence, and nocturia are common in the general population and have amajor impact on the quality of life of the affected patients and their partners. Based on the deliberati
