Background and Purpose: It has been recognized that postischemic pharmacological interventions may delay the evolution of neuronal damage rather than provide long-lasting neuroprotection. Also, fever complicates recovery after stroke in humans. Here we report the effects of late postischemic treatment with hypothermia and an antipyretic/anti-inflammatory drug, dipyrone, on cell damage at 1 week an
The data-based verification of autonomous driving functionalities requires the detection of driving scenarios and driving styles. Driving scenarios define the tasks that the functionalities have to master, whereas the driving style has an impact on the traffic and thus the recorded traffic scenarios. In this thesis we consider two machine learning models which extract driving scenarios and driving
This paper analyzes the use of populist rhetoric by armed groups as a means to portray themselves as a political actor, focusing on Viv Ansanm-spokesperson Jimmy “Barbecue” Chérizier’s anti-elite discourse in 2023 and 2024 through a qualitative content analysis. This is achieved through building on existing literature discussing limits of Haitian statehood as well as the historical role of non-sta
Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
Problem/Background: Sweden was organised against contraceptives through the contraceptive law between 1910 to 1938, causing many women to perform unsafe abortions. Towards the end of the period Sweden became more accepting of contraceptives. Purpose: To further investigate the specific law “lex hinke” and the discourse or discourses that could indicate change towards a more contraceptive friendly
Video surveillance at a workplace may cause interference with the right to private life under Article 8 ECHR and affect the right to data protection in the GDPR’s meaning. The thesis aims to analyse the functions of consent in the case of video surveillance at a workplace under Article 8 ECHR and Article 6 GDPR. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) clarifies in its case-law that employees’ c
Violence in archaeological context is a subject that has relatively recently been brought to light. Before the start of the 21st century it was uncommon to see articles on the subject. However, since the study of violence took off, it has developed to show many different sides to violence in a population. In recent years it has become common to question the material in new ways. When presented wit
Betong är världens mest använda byggnadsmaterial och kan användas i många olika syften. Betong består av cement som bindemedel och vatten, sand och sten (ballast).Tillverkningen av cement är problematisk eftersom det medför stora koldioxidutsläpp och det har varit ett fokus inom branschen att minska miljöpåverkan. De framsteg som har gjorts för att minska miljöpåverkan är bland annat att använda a
Denna uppsats undersöker hotspot-modellen i Grekland och dess förenlighet med de grundläggande rättigheter som fastställs i Europeiska konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna, närmare bestämt artiklarna 3 och 5. Hotspotsystemet infördes som en nödåtgärd som svar på det ökade antalet ankommande flyktingar vid EU:s yttre gränser under 2015-2016. I Grekland utvecklades det dock till en mer permaneThis thesis examines the hotspot approach in Greece and its compatibility with the fundamental rights enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights, with a particular focus on Articles 3 and 5. The hotspot system was introduced as an emergency measure in response to the increased number of arrivals at the EU’s external borders in 2015-2016. In Greece, however, it evolved into a more permane
Beliefs, expectations and values are often assumed to drive decisions about climate change adaptation. We tested hypotheses based on this assumption using survey responses from 508 European forest professionals in 10 countries. We used the survey results to identify communication needs and the decision strategies at play, and to develop guidelines on adequate communications about climate change adBeliefs, expectations and values are often assumed to drive decisions about climate change adaptation.

The Oslofjord subsea road tunnel is a unique environment in which the typically anoxic marine deep subsurface is exposed to oxygen. Concrete biodeterioration and steel corrosion in the tunnel have been linked to the growth of iron- and manganese-oxidizing biofilms in areas of saline water seepage. Surprisingly, previous 16S rRNA gene surveys of biofilm samples revealed microbial communities domina
This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies. A project is often thought of as a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. However, sometimes ‘the project’ refers to something less tangible, to a discursive theme in contemporary society This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies.

In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health
