Certain retinal diseases that result in partial or complete visual loss due to the death of photoreceptor cells. These diseases can affect all ages, accounting for a significant fraction of blindness among younger adults in the developed world. Currently, no effective cure for these diseases exists. As they kill photoreceptors but leave the remaining retina and visual pathways comparatively intact

Habitatkonnektivitet och förekomsten av gräsmarksfjärilar Dagens gräsmarker har ofta reducerats till små, geografiskt isolerade fragment omgivna och åtskilda av stora arealer med planterad skog eller åker. För gräsmarkslevande fjärilar utgör långa avstånd mellan livsmiljöerna ett stort hot då det innebär kraftigt försämrade spridningsmöjligheter. I den här studien har graden av habitatkonnektiviThe biologically important grasslands of today have due to last century’s major changes in land use often been reduced to small, geographically isolated fragments. The low level of habitat connectivity in fragmented landscapes, prevents dispersal of organisms and is considered to be a great threat to biodiversity. In this study the impact of connectivity on the abundance of 6 species of grassland

The energy use in the building sector is increasing rapidly which contributes to the rise in global greenhouse gas concentration. Energy-efficient buildings are considered as healthy buildings due to the improved air quality and comfortable indoor environment. One million residential buildings were built in Sweden during 1965 and 1975 to minimize the acute housing shortage. This initiative was tak

This study explores the roles of genetic variation and phenotypic plasticity for explaining patterns of local wing colour variation in the common blue butterfly, Polyommatus icarus. Polyommatus icarus is one of the most widespread species of butterflies in Europe. Across its range, the female varies a lot in its dorsal colour, from all brown to almost totally blue. It has been suggested that, in S

Most of the increase in world electricity demand until 2030 is expected to come from developing countries (IRENA, 2016) and transition to carbon free energy production technologies offers the opportunity to reduce the negative effects of this increase. With majority of the low and middle income countries located in the areas of favourable solar radiation, PV technology is likely to become a key so

Meeting international climate goals require a major reallocation of global investment portfolios. However, in 2016, 74%. of all assets under management were still socially and environmentally unchecked. Research has started to address how finance can support the low-carbon transition, but little is known about how the financial sector itself perceives this transition. This thesis seeks to 1) ident

In the last decades, scholars, managers and consultants have shown increased interest in identifying the characteristics of high-performance organizations. Searching for ways to improve organizational performance and respond to a growing demand for quality products and services in a rapidly changing environment, this subject is of special interest of managers in both public and private organizatio

Sverige är det enda land, bland med Sverige jämförbara länder, som inte har ett krav på tillräknelighet för att en person ska kunna dömas för brott. Med tillräknelighet menas att personen ska ha haft en grundläggande förmåga att förstå innebörden av sina handlingar, en slags ansvarsförmåga. En diskussion om ett införande av ett sådant krav har dock länge förts och tre statliga utredningar harSweden is the only country, among comparable countries, whose criminal legislation does not include a requirement of accountability, also known as an insanity defence. The meaning of the requirement of accountability is that a person must have had a fundamental understanding of the meaning of their actions to be evicted of a crime. An introduction of such a requirement has, however, been under

Självutlämnande är en terapeutisk intervention som beskrivs som en av de mest hjälpsamma redskapen i en behandlingsprocess. Självutlämnande innebär att en terapeut delar personlig information eller erfarenheter om sig själv till sin klient eller när det används som en omedelbar respons på klienten i terapirummet. Studiens syfte var att utforska psykoterapeuters upplevelser av självutlämnande i terSelf-disclosure is a therapeutic intervention that is described as one of the most helpful tools in a treatment process. Self-disclosure implies that a person shares personal information or experiences about themselves to their client or when it´s used as an immediate response towards the client in the therapy room. The aim of the study was to investigate psychotherapists' experiences of self-

This study evaluated the efficacy of reduced-temperature pasteurization in preserving the nutritional, sensory, and microbial integrity of two fruit juice products: a standard orange juice and a probiotic mango juice enriched with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v, conducted at Österlenmejeriet AB in Lunnarp, a subsidiary of Danone. Laboratory-scale thermal treatments were applied at temperatures

Transformer-based sentiment analysis systems have become widespread in automated decision-making, particularly in the field of financial sentiment analysis. These models are easy to implement, inexpensive, and offer state-of-the-art performance in sentiment analysis. However, their rapid and broad adoption calls for careful evaluation of algorithmic bias in such models. Previous research has shown

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed the study of antibody repertoires by enabling high-throughput, in-depth analysis of immune diversity and antigen-driven selection. When paired with in vitro display technologies, NGS offers unparalleled resolution in characterizing antibody libraries, but also presents substantial computational challenges due to the highly variable nature of antibod

In the robotic manipulation context, end-effector contact forces may be difficult to measure mainly due to the tool dynamic interferences Such as the inertial forces. In this paper, a whole methodology is proposed to estimate these forces. The new approach is based oil a sensor fusion technique that integrates the information of a wrist force sensor. of a 3D accelerometer placed at the robot tool

The use of ground-source heat pumps for heating buildings and domestic hot water in dwellings is increasing rapidly in Sweden. The heat pump extracts heat from the ground by a U-pipe in a vertical borehole. In order to reduce the electricity demand in the system, the combination with solar collectors is introduced. This system may be designed in many ways and the advantages differ a lot. Solar hea

Background Switching to a second tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) after discontinuation of a first in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common strategy. The reason for the switch from the first TNFi could potentially influence the response to therapy. Data on direct comparisons between TNFi after switching are limited. Methods The national Swedish register was used. RA patients who switched to
