Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, defined by abnormal accumulation of proteins, both extracellularly (senile plaques, consisting of amyloid-beta(Aβ) accumulation) and intracellularly (neurofibrillary tangles, formed by Tau protein). Several studies demonstrate that the immune cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, but it is not known if immune cells from the peri
Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av tre noveller ur den spanska författaren Lucas Ruiz’ novellsamling El esquiador de fondo (2014). Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera översättningen och bruket av tempus i källtexten. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten med hjälp av Hellspong & Ledin (1997). Utmärkande drag för texterna tas upp, bland annat det poetiska språket, meningsbyg
This thesis investigates 1) How Chinese culture is represented and exported through the video game Genshin Impact, and 2) How the gaming experience of Genshin Impact influences Swedish players’ perception of China. Soft power has increased in importance in recent decades in China and video games are a new strategy. Five Swedish Genshin Impact players were interviewed about their experience and per
This thesis investigates the restitution of cultural artefacts looted during the colonial-era, through the comparison between two United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Conventions and the newly proposed French guideline, Shared Heritage: Universality, Restitution and Circulation of Works of Art (SHURCWA). Through a qualitative case study employing Carol Bacchi’s
In order to explore verbal-nonverbal integration, we investigated the influence of cognitive and linguistic ability on gaze behavior during spoken language conversation between children with mild-to-moderate hearing impairment (HI) and normal-hearing (NH) peers. Ten HI-NH and 10 NH-NH dyads performed a referential communication task requiring description of faces. During task performance, eye move
OBJECTIVE Serum Hsp60 and anti-Hsp65 antibody levels are raised in subjects with borderline hypertension, and there is an association between circulating Hsp60 levels and early atherosclerosis. Given the recognized relationship between hypertension and atherosclerosis, this study determined heat shock protein and heat shock protein antibody levels in subjects with established hypertension.METHODS
The unimolecular chemiluminescent decomposition of unsubstituted dioxetanone was studied at the complete active space self-consistent field level of theory combined with the multistate second-order multiconfigurational perturbation theory energy correction. The calculations revealed interesting features. Two transition states, two conical intersections, and one intermediate stable biradical struct
Thermal stratification is increasing in strength as a result of higher surface water temperature. This could influence the vertical distribution of vertically migrating dinoflagellates. We studied the diel vertical distribution of the dinoflagellates Heterocapsa triquetra and Prorocentrum minimum using stratified laboratory columns with two thermoclines of different strength (Delta TA degrees A =
A comment on [W.J. Olds, A.R. McKinley, M.R. Moore, M.G. Kimlin, In vitro model of vitamin D(3) (cholecalciferol) synthesis by UV radiation: Dose-response relationships, J. Photochem. Photobiol. B: Biol. 93 (2008) 88-93]. The article also discusses some related issues.
This is a study of the spatial structure in relation to female characters within video games with Nordic mythological themes. The understanding of space and its structure starts with an under-standing of the people who are creat-ing and constructing it. The study involves their beliefs, their social relations and their urban infrastructure and their correspondence to the Nordic mythology. When lo
Ur infallsvinkeln att partier antar precisa strategier för att tillskansa sig makt syftar denna uppsats till att besvara varför Miljöpartiet de Gröna förändrat sin inställning till en mer positiv hållning, gällande ett svenskt medlemskap i den Europeiska Unionen. Två teoretiska utgångspunkter ligger till grund för uppsatsen som möjliga förklaringsmodeller; att partiet följt en förändring hos välja
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genom nedskalning av mikroelektroniken, kan både prestanda, kostnad, och effektförbrukning förbättras och har därmed varit ett mål för elektronikindustrin. Dimensionerna är så låga i nuvarande teknik att parasitisk kapacitans och läckströmmar begränsar möjliga fördelar. Spintronik är en ny teknik under utveckling som skulle kunna erbjuda lösningar för dessa problA new design based on the spinFET proposed by Datta-Das was fabricated, using a channel defined by etching on a 2DEG material and nanomagnets as top-gates. The magnetotransports properties were measured at low temperatures. Magnetoresistance changes with different behaviors were measured in different configurations and the presence of hysteresis showed the action of the nanomagntes. But, due to th
För att undersöka barns fulla förståelse av ords betydelser är det nödvändigt att undersöka förståelse av ord i relation till andra ord. Antonymi, motsatsrelationen, är en av de semantiska relationer som barnet tillägnar sig tidigast i språkutvecklingen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka förskolebarns förmåga till motsatsordsmobilisering, det vill säga förmågan att välja rätt motsatsord som res
Denna studie syftar till att studera ordaccenter hos barn i förskoleålder med skånsk dialekt och språkstörning. I studien undersöks huruvida barnen har problem med ordaccenterna och i vilken utsträckning. Barnens yttranden bedöms perceptuellt av två lyssnargrupper och akustiskt som spektrogram, där jag tittat på grundtonskurvan. Svar söks också kring huruvida vissa ord är svårare att bedöma eller
Fotbindning praktiserades i Kina under nästan tusen år. Under Qingdynastins sista turbulenta årtionden öppnades landet upp mot omvärlden. Detta markerade inledningen på Kinas moderna historia, och en ny era för de kinesiska kvinnorna och deras fötter. Denna uppsats undersöker antifotbindningsrörelsen som växte fram i slutet av 1800-talet, mot bakgrund av en ökad västerländsk närvaro och spirande kFootbinding was widely practiced in China for nearly a thousand years. The Middle Kingdom was opened to the outside world during the last decades of Qing rule. This time of turmoil marked the beginning of modern Chinese history, as well as a new era for Chinese women and their feet. This thesis highlights the antifootbinding movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century and its connection t
This thesis explores how entrepreneurs experience and regulate fluctuations in passion, and how these affect their decision-making in high-stakes contexts. While entrepreneurial passion has been widely recognised as a motivating force, little is known about how its intensity fluctuates over time and how such shifts influence strategic behaviour and decisions. Drawing on emotion regulation theory,
The increase in global competitiveness and the advancement of digital technology are compelling organizations to innovate by enhancing their product offerings with digital services. Although this phenomenon known as digital servitization is well researched in larger organizations, there is less investigation on how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) manage this trend, particularly in Sweden. This
Brazil’s National Strategy for the Impact Economy (ENIMPACTO), launched in 2017, is a public initiative that fosters an ecosystem where businesses combine financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. While the strategy has earned both national and international recognition, its implementation and the role of intermediary organizations in this process remain underexplored in a
Conventional agriculture, dominated by annual crops, has revolutionised food production but also introduced significant environmental and social challenges. Perennial crops offer a promising alternative, with potential benefits for ecosystem services, agricultural sustainability, and food security. Although the environmental benefits of perennial crops, such as the intermediate wheat grass Kernza
The Öresund – the strait between eastern Denmark and southwestern Sweden – is an ancient focal point for trade, conflict, and cooperation in Northern Europe. The control of the strait has been of utmost strategic importance in Northern Europe over the centuries, involving several wars between Denmark and Sweden. During the 19th and 20th centuries, a decidedly more peaceful relationship developed b
