While international research is increasingly concerned about the role of socio-economic status in special education, Greek scholars have focused on the psychological and behavioural aspects and their connection to academic attainment, overlooking the impact of socio-economic status. Even though the Greek legal framework advocates for inclusive education, there is a significant gap between policies
Plattrambroar är den vanligaste brotypen i Sverige. Dessa konstruktioner är robusta och motståndskraftiga, med förmåga att ta upp betydande laster och motstå deformationer. På grund av strukturens utformning genereras stora tvångskrafter vid infästningen mellan farbana och ramben vid temperaturlaster såsom temperaturskillnad mellan konstruktionsdelar och temperaturgradienter i broplattan. Dessa tv
This research investigates the development of second-life battery (SLB) strategies in the value chain of lithium-ion batteries in India by identifying how some companies are implementing circular economy practices and engaging with SLB strategies. The study adopts three analytical perspectives to examine SLB strategies in India: The Value Retention Option (VRO) model, barriers to implementation, a
Previous research has shown that some bilinguals report feeling as though they have two different personalities in their different languages. For some this experience is stable, for others situational or linked to life stages, while many claim never to have felt it. Despite extensive research, there is no consensus on the topic, including on what exactly is meant by “personality” in the context. S

Human gut microbiome plays significant role in maintaining health and homeostasis of the host immune system by modulating immune metabolism, metabolic functions and acting as a barrier against pathogens. Therefore, characterizing the gut microbiome is vital for understanding its role in cancer as several studies have leveraged the strong correlation between gut microbiome dysbiosis and various typ
Amid the rapid expansion of the global digital economy, the European Union faces a fundamental tension between promoting digital trade liberalisation and safeguarding its regulatory autonomy. This thesis examines how policy space provisions within the EU's new, standalone Digital Trade Agreements (DTAs) with Singapore and South Korea relate to this strategic challenge.

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer diagnoses for men and is believed to increase in the future due to an aging global population. The 5-year survival rate decreases drastically for metastatic disease, which is currently incurable. Androgens drive prostate cancer via the AR-signaling pathway. For metastatic disease, antiandrogen therapy, external beam therapy, chemotherapy, or ther

I denna studie har 88 körningar i en körsimulator analyserats i syfte att undersöka hur utformningen av en cirkulationsplats påverkar förarens val av ingångshastighet. Aspekterna radiestorlek, antal körfält och mötande trafik var av intresse och justerades i testerna. Syftet var att sedan ställa datan för varje parameter mot varandra och därmed kunna ta fram ett resultat. Simuleringsmiljön byggd

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is a major health concern for women due to its subtle onset, aggressive progression, high recurrence rate, and resistance to standard therapies. Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, is currently used as maintenance therapy following removal of tumors. C26A6 is a promising therapeutic which has been shown to inhibit breast cancer progression in mouse models by disrup
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are vesicular structures composed of phospholipids commonly used in vaccine formulations due to their ability to protect and encapsulate mRNA for efficient delivery to target cells. This delivery system was pivotal for the rapid development of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Efficient mRNA delivery depends on the particle size and stability of LNPs, making these key parameters t
