Since 2008, the Swedish government has launched occasional offers of funding for graduate schools aimed at practising teachers. The fundamental purpose of this initiative is to enhance quality in the Swedish school system by implementing what is stated in the Education Act, namely that education at all levels should be based upon scientific knowledge and evidencebasedexperience. The Swedish Resear
Untagged gamma-ray and tagged-neutron yields from 241AmBe and 238PuBe mixed-field sources have been measured. Gamma-ray spectroscopy measurements from 1 to 5 MeV were performed in an open environment using a CeBr3 detector and the same experimental conditions for both sources. The shapes of the distributions are very similar and agree well with previous data. Tagged-neutron measurements from 2 to
An automated glucose feeding strategy that avoids acetate accumulationin cultivations of Escherichia coli is discussed. We havepreviously described how a probing technique makes it possible todetect and avoid overflow metabolism using a dissolved oxygen sensor.In this paper these ideas are extended with a safety net thatguarantees that aerobic conditions are maintained. The method isgenerally appl
L-DOPA remains the gold-standard treatment for Parkinson's disease but causes motor fluctuations and dyskinesia. Metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5) has been proposed as a target for antidyskinetic therapies. Here, we evaluate the effects of fenobam, a noncompetitive mGluR5 antagonist already tested in humans, using rodent and nonhuman primate models of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia. In bo
Since the Oslo Accords, the two-state solution has dominated, and frustrated, the official search for peace in Palestine/Israel. In parallel to it, an alternative struggle of resistance—centred upon the single-state idea as a more liberating pathway towards justice to the conflict—has re-emerged against the hegemony of Zionism and the demise of a viable two-state solution in Palestine/Israel. This
Granule neurons of the dentate gyrus (DG) of the hippocampus undergo continuous renewal throughout life. Among cell cycle regulators, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2) is considered as a major regulator of S-phase entry. We used Cdk2-deficient mice to decipher the requirement of Cdk2 for the generation of new neurons in the adult hippocampus. The quantification of cell cycle markers first revealed
Ice core records are commonly used to infer information about past variability of CO2 fluxes. Because of processes involved in enclosing this air in ice, ice core records are a smoothed representation of the actual past atmospheric variations. As such, there is a limit to how much information ice core measurements can contain about flux variability on short timescales. With a numerical model of th
Prenatal exposure to the highly toxic and common pollutant cadmium has been associated with adverse effects on child health and development. However, the underlying biological mechanisms of cadmium toxicity remain partially unsolved. Epigenetic disruption due to early cadmium exposure has gained attention as a plausible mode of action, since epigenetic signatures respond to environmental stimuli a
We employ Non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) to describe the real-time dynamics of an adsorbate-surface model system exposed to ultrafast laser pulses. For a finite number of electronic orbitals, the system is solved exactly and within different levels of approximation. Specifically i) the full exact quantum mechanical solution for electron and nuclear degrees of freedom is used to benchmark
The devices that constitute the Internet of Things are evolving to include more than just enabling sensing and actuation over a wireless interface. In a contemporary scenario, these devices perform tasks and contribute to an aggregate information flow, in a distributed manner. In the wake of this evolution, new distributed Internet of Things frameworks have emerged. These frameworks maintain a dis
Abstract in UndeterminedProfessor Mylly suggests that the Lisbon Treaty opens a new avenue for the Commission when the internal legislative pathway becomes too complicated, demanding unanimity in decision-making. An alternative route would be to use the competence to enter into international agreements, where qualified majority is enough. The agreements may be phrased in such a way that they have
The Peter Principle states that employees tend to be promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. In a sophisticated simulation study, Pluchino et al (2010) confirmed a version of the principle. However, they also noted that their model has the counterintuitive consequence that “the best ways for improving the efficiency of a given organization are either to promote each time an agent at
This thesis summarizes the experimental work in which an ultrafastX-ray laser plasma source was combined with variousscalable direct detection schemes to test a novel approach forlab-based time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy. A laserplasma source based on a water jet target was built and commissioned.X-ray and electron emissions of this source were characterizedwith various direct detectio
Beowulfkvädet skrevs antagligen ned någon gång på 1000-talet och eftersom att vi bara har en kopia av manuskriptet kvar kan vi med säkerhet säga att historien om Beowulf inte ändrats de senaste 1000 åren. Trots detta har våra tolkningar av Beowulfkvädet varierat kraftigt de senaste 100 åren. Jag har med hjälp av ett 40-tal översättningar och analyser av Beowulfkvädet skrivna mellan åren 1901-2018 The Beowulf manuscript was probably written sometime during the eleventh century and since we only have one copy of the manuscript we can say for sure that the story of Beowulf has not changed during the last 1000 years. Regardless of this our interpretations of the Beowulf manuscript has changed dramatically the last 100 years. I have with the help of over 40 different translations and analyses o
Den stora flyktingkrisen som råder i Europa har resulterat i att många länder nu står inför en oförutsedd integrationsutmaning. Sverige är ett av de länder som un- der de senaste åren tagit emot flest flyktingar, vilket har resulterat i ett införande av en ny anvisningslag som kräver att alla svenska kommuner ska ta emot och ordna bostad och sysselsättning till ett visst antal nyanlända varje år. The refugee crisis in Europe has had many countries experience an unforeseen challenge of integration. Sweden has received one of the largest amounts of refu- gees during the recent years, which has resulted in a new distribution law requir- ing all Swedish municipalities to help arrange accommodation and employment. However, researchers have discussed whether these arrangements are sufficient for
In this study I analysed reduplicative ablaut ideophones in English for their morphosyntactical properties, as ideophones in other languages have been found to have several marked characteristics in this respect. Informed by the typology of ideophones in other languages, my research questions were whether the reduplicatives would appear integrated into or outside of sentences, if they would fill f
