Popular Abstract in Swedish Ungefär 22 000 svenskar lever i dag med Parkinsons sjukdom som är en hjärnsjukdom där särskilda nervceller som normalt producerar signalsubstansen dopamin dör av okänd anledning. Dessa nervceller har en viktig funktion eftersom de möjliggör vår rörelseförmåga och brist på dopamin leder till rörelsenedsättning där patienten uppvisar symptomen långsamhet, skakningar, muskParkinson’s disease is a brain disorder characterized by loss of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain, resulting in the characteristic motor symptoms: resting tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural instability. Symptomatic treatment is based on reconstituting the loss of dopamine in the brain, primarily by oral administration of its precursor L-DOPA. Although this drug is effective in the early y

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett nytt EU-direktiv om uttjänta fordon har nyligen antagits. Direktivet kräver att från och med 2006 skall 85% av bilens vikt återvinnas och 95% från och med år 2015. Idag återvinns cirka 80%. Bildemonteringsindustrin har valts som studieobjekt i denna avhandling. De höjda återvinningskraven förväntas leda till att bildemonteringsindustrin genomgår omfattande rationaliA new EU directive on used vehicles has recently been introduced. It demands that for every scrapped car, at least 85% by weight must be recycled by the year 2006 and 95% by 2015. The current level is about 80%. The car disassembly industry was chosen as the study object of this thesis. Due to the increased demands on recycling, the disassembly industry may undergo comprehensive rationalizations a

In this study, one-to-one tuition in higher music education (HME) was theorised as a culturally and historically grounded activity system consisting of relation- ships between musicians, instruments, music-making traditions and audiences. The ‘skills paradox’, as seen in the inherent conflict between musicians’ need for long-term artistic training and society’s demands for flexible knowledge produ

Mutations in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1-alpha gene (HNF-1 alpha, now known as the transcription factor 1 gene [TCF1]) cause the most common monogenic form of diabetes, MODY3, but it is not known if common variants in HNF-1a are associated with decreased transcriptional activity or phenotypes related to type 2 diabetes, or whether they predict future type 2 diabetes. We studied the effect of f

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that autoantibodies recognize amino acid sequences in the LDL receptor binding region of apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100). Autoantibodies against an unmodified or malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified LDL receptor binding site peptide were determined by ELISA in baseline plasma samples of 78 cases with coronary events and 149 matched controls recruited from

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen består av fem papper (A-E) som samtliga är tillämpningar av Rice's formel. Tillämpningsområdena är inom oceanografi och miljö. De tre första papperna behandlar egenskaper hos mötande havsvågor, det vill säga vågor som ett fartyg möter när det seglar på havet. Papper A syftar till att hitta en formel för att räkna ut intensiteten av sådana vågor. SpThis thesis is based on five papers (A-E), all treating various applications of Rice's formula. The areas of application are oceanographic and environmental problems. The first three papers treat properties of encountering waves, that is, waves that a ship encounters while sailing on the ocean. Paper A addresses the problem of computing the intensity of such waves and, in particular, the intensit

The study included eight mix proportions of sealed or air-cured specimens with water-binder ratio, w/b, varying between 0.24 and 0.80. Half of the mixe

Bergslagens malmprovins är känd för att innehålla stora Zn-Pb-Ag- och Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-sulfidförekomster med tillhörande järnoxidskarn och många studier har fokuserat på att förstå dessa förekomster. Cu-Co-förekomster som Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten har emellertid fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten är en disseminerad och åderstödd Cu-Co-mineralisering som förekommer i en 1,89 Ga ryoliThe Bergslagen Province is known for containing major Zn-Pb-Ag and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulphide mineralizations with associated iron-oxide skarns and a lot of research have focused on understanding them. However, Cu-Co deposits like the Vena-Dampetorp deposit have received less attention. The Vena-Dampetorp deposit is a disseminated and vein Cu-Co mineralization hosted primarily in a 1.89 Ga rhyolitic to

I samband med utbildning inom digitala verktyg samt VFU kopplat till EDI väcktes intresse att undersöka vilka kunskaper som behövs för att undervisa i dator som instrument samt vad som ingår inom InSå-undervisning för en EDI:st på estetiska programmet. Detta resulterade i tre forskningsfrågor relaterade till EDI-undervisning på gymnasieskola: (i) Vilka ämneskunskaper inom EDI anser EDI-lärare behöIn relation with education regarding digital tools as well as internships related to EDI an interest was developed in researching what subject knowledge is needed in teaching this instrument, as well as what teachers incorporate in their instrument lessons on a high school level. Three research questions emerged from this in relation to primary instrument teachings on a high school level: (i) What
