Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a widely used tool for studying brain function in vivo. The technique is based on acquiring brain images sensitive to the physiological response following neural activation, and hence, allows brain activity to be examined and documented. In this thesis, methods for fMRI mapping of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) are optimised and subsequent
At present, there are severe limitations to the successful migration and integration of stem cells transplanted into the degenerated retina to restore visual function. This study investigated the potential role of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and microglia in the migration of human Muller glia with neural stem cell characteristics following subretinal injection into the Lister hooded
Intraneuronal inclusions containing alpha-synuclein (a-syn) constitute one of the pathological hallmarks of Parkinson's disease (PD) and are accompanied by severe neurodegeneration of A9 dopaminergic neurons located in the substantia nigra. Although to a lesser extent, A10 dopaminergic neurons are also affected. Neurodegeneration of other neuronal populations, such as the cholinergic, serotonergic
In many applications, especially in the process industry, low-level controllers are the workhorses of the automated production lines. The aim of this study has been to provide simple tuning procedures, either optimization-based methods or tuning rules, for design of low-order controllers. The first part of this thesis deals with PID tuning. Design methods or both SISO and MIMO PID controllers bas
In this thesis, a novel method for characterizing Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines(PMSMs) based in the dynamic response of the analyzed motor is evaluated. The most significant motor characteristics -torque, flux and efficiency maps- are computed from the motor voltage, currents and rotor position data sampled during the experiment. This way of obtaining the characteristics of the motor is po
Sustainability, population dynamics and health issues are some of the greater challenges the global society faces today. Meat consumption has emerged as one of the reasons behind the cause and effect of these challenges. There is a growing consensus amongst researchers, industry stakeholders and decision-makers that there is a need to transition into more sustainable alternatives to meat. As a res
The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN, an improvement to the LHC, scheduled to be operating in 2027, will further the potential for scientific breakthroughs in High Energy Physics. The project’s demand in computational resources, however, is predicted to exceed what will be available then. Thus, efficiency optimization of Monte Carlo simulations of the collisions that occur in
The PID controller is by far the most popular controller for process control in industry today [Åström and Murray, 2008]. The combination of its relatively simple usage and its satisfactory results within several areas has gained its popularity [Visioli, 2006]. However, the tuning of the controller is crucial. An automatic tuning method was developed by [Åström and Hägglund, 1984] in the mid-eight
Luminiscensdatering är ett viktigt verktyg inom geologin för att tidsbestämma geologiska avsättningsprocesser i jordens historia. Grundförutsättningen för en korrekt datering är att luminiscenssignalen genererad från ett mineral nollställs vid kontakt med solljus. Vid insamling och preparering av provmaterial är det därför av yttersta vikt att ingen ljusexponering inträffar som eventuellt nollstälLuminescence dating provides an important tool in geology to reconstruct geological depositions events in the Earth’s past. The basic assumption for a reliable dating is that luminescence generated from minerals resets at the time when it was last exposed to sunlight. The accuracy and precision of luminescence dating is therefore strongly dependant on preparation of the sediment to be in dark cond
Employee engagement and employer branding are highly relevant in today's labor market, where employers no longer hold all the cards, but the employees assert their demands as well. Furthermore, there is a scarcity in research exploring the interaction between employee engagement and employer branding. This study investigates through a case study how employee engagement and employer branding in
The traditional approaches rely solely on temperature measures to assess heat-related health risks; but there is a growing trend towards using bio-meteorological indices for a more comprehensive evaluation. However, the adoption of bio-meteorological indices in developing countries is considerably limited. Therefore, this study compares bio-meteorological index, the maximum Universal Thermal Clima
Introduction Despite an increasing amount of research related to gender-affirming treatment (GAT) outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people (ie, people who experience discomfort or distress in the misalignment between their gender and sex assigned at birth) in recent years, the evidence base for current recommendations is suboptimal. One contributing factor is the heterogeneity in
Road traffic pollution is one of the most important factors among other environmental factors that influence the roadside vegetation. The present research examines the impact of motorway flyovers and at-grade roads on air pollution (PM10, SOx, NOx, and air quality index (AQI)) and roadside vegetation in Dehradun by considering the important biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, ascorbic acid
Flyktingar löper signifikant högre risk för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa, däribland posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). Det finns en stor evidensbas som visar att traumafokuserade psykologiska behandlingar för PTSD är effektiva. Majoriteten av denna forskning inkluderar dock inte flyktingar, vilket innebär att mindre är känt om responsen för behandling av PTSD hos flyktingar. Den aktuella översiktRefugees are at significantly increased risk of mental health difficulties, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There is a large evidence base showing that trauma-focused psychological treatments for PTSD are effective. However, the majority of trials do not include refugees and less is known about response to PTSD treatments in refugees. The present scoping review explores the curren
Objective Behaviour therapy (BT) for Tourette's disorder (TD) and persistent (chronic) motor or vocal tic disorder (PTD) is rarely available. We evaluated the feasibility of adapting two existing BT protocols for TD/PTD (habit reversal training (HRT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP)) into a therapist-guided and parent-guided online self-help format. Design A pilot, single-blind, parallel

This thesis deploys ethnographic tools in a qualitative case study to explore the internet community, Female Dating Strategy (FDS). As narratives surrounding the “crisis of masculinity” are popularised within politics and mainstream media, the objective of research becomes to scrutinise these conceptualisations. This thesis does so by focusing on the field of intimacy and sexuality, by raising the
