The presented thesis work is concerned with the study of molecular dynamics using liquid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Spin relaxation dispersion experiments in the rotating frame (R1ρ) are employed to provide a detailed, atomic-resolution view of protein dynamics. Comprehensive investigations of 15N backbone and 13C methyl side-chain confor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Rehabilitering har sedan länge varit en viktig och naturlig del av behandlingen för personer med reumatiska sjukdomar. I denna doktorsavhandling om teambaserad rehabilitering för personer med kroniska reumatiska ledsjukdomar ges en uppdatering av kunskapsläget liksom en historisk bakgrund. De vetenskapliga resultat som redovisas i avhandlingen visar i korthet på följandThe aim of this thesis was to study outcome and evaluation of rheumatological multidisciplinary team rehabilitation programmes in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis (CIA); rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and other spondyloarthritides, and to analyse health care utilization over the last decade in patients with RA. In Study I the outcome of an 18 da
Scanning mass spectrometry by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) creates large volumetric global datasets that describe the location and identity of ions registered at each sampling location. While thousands of ion peaks are recorded in a typical whole tissue analysis, only a fraction of these measured molecules are purposefully scrutinized within a g
OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacodynamics of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid against different strains of Haemophilus influenzae in an in vitro kinetic model. The concentrations used corresponded to human serum levels obtained after 875 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given b.i.d., 500/125 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given t.i.d. and those obtained with a pharmacokinetically enhanced formulation cont
Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitat
Children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are at increased risk of psychotic disorders; however, the manifestations and clinical implications of psychotic vulnerability among youth with OCD remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we examined the prevalence and clinical correlates of psychotic vulnerability in youth with OCD across two independent samples. Using the T
Close to the city center of Reykjavik lies the combined national- and university library of Iceland. Usually, these two types of institutions are separated. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the library in fact selects the new digital material to offer the users in Iceland, and if the combined mission creates any problems or conflicts. The investigation examines the planning and the
Såväl i staters och myndigheters hantering av flyktingfrågor som i den forskning som behandlar flyktingar, asyl och EU:s gräns- och flyktingpolitik talar man mest om flyktingar utifrån en manlig norm. Men vad händer när kvinnor försöker fly till EU? Har EU:s gräns- och flyktingpolitik några könsspecifika konsekvenser för kvinnor? De diskursiva och strukturella ramarna utforskas kritiskt med avstam
Cross-sectional studies have associated obesity and other components of the so-called metabolic syndrome with low-grade inflammation. The temporal and causal relations of this association have not been fully explored. This study explored whether elevated levels of inflammation-sensitive plasma proteins (ISPs) (fibrinogen, orosomucoid, {alpha}1-antitrypsin, haptoglobin, and ceruloplasmin) are assoc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Levande organismer, inklusive människor, har en 14C/12C-kvot som återspeglar miljön. När materialet dör slutar kroppen att fylla på 14C och kroppens 14C börjar sönderfalla till 14N. Detta gav upphov till den klassiska 14C-dateringsmetoden, vilken utvecklades av professor W.F. Libby, 1949 och gav honom Nobelpriset i kemi 1960. 14C-datering används huvudsakligen inom arkeThe testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, in the middle of the 20'h century, resulted in a bomb-pulse excess of atmospheric 14C. A bomb-pulse dating method was thus developed. The latter is a method to determine the time of formation of formerly living modern (i.e. living after 1955) material , based on the 14C/ 12C ratio in it. The objective of this work was to evaluate the factors that c
The primary goal of this workshop was to identify the most appropriate method to estimate the potential effect of reduction in sodium consumption on mortality. Difficulty controlling hypertension at the individual level has motivated international, federal, state, and local efforts to identify and implement population-wide strategies to better control this problem; reduction of sodium intake is on
Importance: The association between long sleep duration and mortality appears stronger in East Asian populations than in North American or European populations. Objectives: To assess the sex-specific association between sleep duration and all-cause and major-cause mortality in a pooled longitudinal cohort and to stratify the association by age and body mass index. Design, Setting, and Participants

If you are to publish your presentation on Canvas, the law requires you to make it accessible. Adapting for accessibility is important as it enables people with different abilities to participate fully. On the f

Background and objective: Human studies of arterio-venous (AV) differences in drug concentrations and the consequences for pharmacokinetic modelling and concentration-effect relationships are very limited. We therefore investigated the intravenous and intra-arterial concentrations of alcohol (ethanol) during the absorption, distribution and elimination stages of alcohol metabolism in healthy men.
There is an urgent need for accurate and validated methods to measure plasma phosphorylated tau (p-Tau) biomarkers in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In this study, we compared the performance of new commercially available plasma p-Tau217 assay developed by ALZpath to other established p-Tau assays in an autopsy-confirmed sample. We included 72 participants from the Arizona Study of Aging and Neurodegen
Lung cancer is a common cancer type associated with poor prognosis. Even in the group of patients with earlystage tumors, for which curative treatment is possible, lung cancer recurrence is frequent. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the potential prognostic role of mutations in tumor specimens, blood-based proteins and circulating tumor DNA.In study I, we performed EGFR mutation detection
Introduction: The demographic changes with population ageing and a rapidly growing share of very old peoplewill put an increasing pressure on the health and social care system. In order to both restrict early retirement and force people to extend their working life reforms are changing pension systems in many European countries. Besides that older people have to extend their working life it is imp
