Transgender individuals in Georgia face persistent stigma, violence, and limited institutional protections, yet little is known about how they cope with such hostility and what supports are available to them. Guided by Minority Stress Theory and coping research that distinguishes adaptive from maladaptive strategies, this study explored coping practices, social support, and mental health among tra
The synthesis of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), building blocks of DNA, can be achieved by two different pathways in the cell. One is called de novo synthesis and the other is known as salvage pathway. The de novo pathway involves synthesis of dNTPs by utilizing basic molecules like sugars, amino acids, CO2, NH3, etc., while in the other pathway, dNTPs are formed by salvaging intra- or
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tidstrender i prevalens, incidens och mortalitet följdes för 15000 diabetespatienter under 1991-2005. Kliniska fynd, C-peptidanalyser och öcellsantikroppar jämfördes med avseende på förmågan att särskilja typ 1 från typ 2 diabetes och faktorer som påverkade prognosen undersöktes. Incidens och ålder vid insjuknandet förhöll sig oförändrade över tid, men prevalensen ökadTime trends in prevalence, incidence and mortality was followed in 15000 diabetic patients in 1991?2005. Clinical findings, C-peptide protocols, and islet antibodies were compared in their ability to distinguish type 1 from type 2 diabetes, and factors associated with the prognosis of diabetes were explored. The incidence and the age at onset remained stable but the prevalence of diabetes increas
Popular Abstract in Swedish I hjärnan finns många olika typer av nervceller. De använder sig av olika signalsubstanser, kallade neurotransmittorer, för att kommunicera med andra nervceller. En viss typ av nervceller använder neurotransmittorn dopamin. Dopaminceller finns på många ställen i hjärnan men de flesta ligger i mellanhjärnan i ett par olika cellgrupper som var och en skickar signaler tillParkinsons disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder where dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra (SNc) in the mesencephalon are progressively eliminated. The ensuing loss of dopaminergic innervation of the basal ganglia manifests itself as severe motor deficits in PD patients. Clinical trials have shown that cell replacement therapy, where dopaminergic neuroblasts derived from fetal vent
X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at the nano-scale. Their high penetration depth in matter allows to investigate samples even inside sample environments, which would be difficult with complementary methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microscopy technique ptychography has been established in X-ray imaging in recent year
Background: For optimal design of anti-amyloid-β (Aβ) and anti-tau clinical trials, it is important to understand how Aβ and soluble phosphorylated tau (p-tau) relate to the accumulation of tau aggregates assessed with positron emission tomography (PET) and subsequent cognitive decline across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. Method: We included 327 participants from the Swedish BioFINDER-2
In the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research. Legal practice, however, still maintains that ‘rational, objective’ law is devoid of emotion. This raises the question of how to incorporate the divide itself in a theoretical understanding of the role of emotions in legal practice. The legal system is congenial with other modern bureaucratic i
This chapter analyses the impact which Russia’s war in Ukraine, as the manifestation of illiberal politics in Russia, has had on migration. We outline key developments in Russia’s security policy and the shift towards ideological and disruptive illiberalism rooted in Soviet and imperial traditions and examine the war’s impact on mobilities within and from Central Asia, specifically looking at wha
It is argued that we live in a post-industrial society with a transition from the production of goods to services. It is also said we live in a knowledge economy where creation, distribution, use and manipulation of information are significant activities (Dahlbom, 2003). The word industrial has a connotation of mass-production of products and, logically also industrial design has this connotation.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) having become increasingly embedded into work in both academia and industry has put a magnifying glass on Human-AI collaboration. With this paper, we seek to answer calls for research on the interactions between human and AI agents and their outcomes. We adopt the IS Delegation Framework (Baird & Maruping, 2021) to look at dynamics in relationships betwe
The purpose of this thesis is to analyse to what extent colonial trade patterns persist in former British and French colonies in Southeast Asia and West Africa, and how these effects differ between colonial powers and regions. The study combines a historic perspective combined with an empirical analysis of bilateral trade flows between France, the United Kingdom, and their former colonies over the
