The book is a part of the result of a project, funded by HSFR (The Swedish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences). In general it comprises the art criticism in the Swedish daily press from 1990-2000. The studies have a common focus on the text of the art criticism, in contrast to older research on art criticism, which uses the text primarily as a source of knowledge about the
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
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
Cigarette smoke exposure increases the risk of stroke. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Endothelin system plays key roles in the pathogenesis of stroke. The present study was designed to examine if lipid-soluble (dimethyl sulfoxide-soluble) cigarette smoke particles (DSP) induces upregulation of contractile endothelin type B (ETB) receptors in rat cerebral arteri
This thesis aims at investigating the risk spillover and correlations among national stock markets, and the structure of dependence between stocks and commodity futures. It consists of four chapters. Chapter 1 briefly reviews the literature background of financial market interdependence and summarizes the contribution of the thesis. Chapter 2 proposes a binary response model approach to measure
Background Interleukin (IL)-15 levels are increased in serum, synovium and bone marrow of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). IL-15 influences both the innate and the adaptive immune response; its major role is activation and proliferation of T cells. There are also emerging data that IL-15 affects osteoclastogenesis. The authors investigated the association of genetic variants in IL15 with t
Mast cell are found throughout the body, but are especially prominent in tissues that have direct contact with the external milieu such as the skin, gastrointestinal tract and lungs. Mast cells are commonly recognized for their detrimental role in allergic reactions and can, upon activation through the high-affinity receptor for IgE (FcεRI), rapidly produce and secrete many of the mediators respon
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
Popular Abstract in Swedish Adenovirus från människa (Ad) används ofta vid genterapi mot cancer, vaccinutveckling och genöverföring. Modifierade Ad5 och Ad2 virus har framgångsrikt använts som cancercelldödande (onkolytiska) agens i experimentella studier som dock inte kunnat överföras till kliniskt bruk av flera skäl, inklusive bristande spridning av virusinfektionen inom tumörvävnaden. De onkolyHuman adenoviruses (Ads) are broadly used in cancer gene therapy, vaccine development and gene delivery. The modified Ad5 or Ad2 viruses have been successfully used as oncolytic agents in pre-clinical studies. However they could not be translated into clinic utility due to a number of limitations including inefficient Ad spread among tumor cells. The cancer cell killing capacity of oncolytic Ad is
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

De nuvarande svenska reglerna avseende sakrätt i panträtt är utspridda i olika författningar, vilka tidigare endast har reformerats vid extrem nödvändighet. USA hade tidigare ett regelverk för säkerhetsrätter som i många avseenden var väldigt likvärdigt det regelverk som idag finns i Sverige. Som ett svar på det faktum att de amerikanska reglerna hade uppnått en nivå av otolererbar komplexitet genThe current Swedish rules regarding perfection of liens is fragmented. The system has only undergone partial reform and even then only because of extreme necessity. The U.S. had a security interest system that in many parts were very similar to the system that today is present in Sweden. A reform took place as a response to the fact that the system finally reached the level of intolerable complexi
Klimatförändringar är en av dagens stora utmaningar; en utmaning med betydande konsekvenser som kommer att påverka alla länder på olika sätt om vi inte kan komma överens om ett sätt att motverka den globala uppvärmningen genom att stabilisera utsläppen av växthusgaser. Ett globalt problem kräver internationell respons, men den internationella klimat-regimen har misslyckats med att leverera tillräc
Eftersom snabb teknisk utveckling och globalisering har förändrat sättet på vilket vi anförtror oss personuppgifter till webbplatser för sociala medier samt sökmotorer, har den Europeiska kommissionen föreslagit en ny dataskyddsförordning som kommer att förbättra skyddet för den personliga integriteteten på internet för medborgarna i EU. Då den med stor sannolikhet träder i kraft år 2016 kommer etRapid technological developments and globalisation have profoundly changed the way people entrust their personal data to social media websites and search engines. As a result, the European Commission has proposed a General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to enhance online privacy rights for the citizens of the European Union. As the GDPR will most likely enter into force in 2016, one of the maj
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
As carbon dioxide emissions increase along with the global average temperature, sustainable development is becoming more and more important in all sectors, and it is essential to act toward the reduction of emissions to counteract these dire consequences. Companies are expected to operate sustainably and responsibly with a minimized negative environmental impact alongside accelerating their digita
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo
