Popular Abstract in Swedish De fyra studier som ingår i denna avhandling är gjorda för att undersöka eventuella oönskade effekter av läkemedel på näthinnan. Näthinnan är en del av det centrala nervsystemet och känslig för toxiska substanser. För att skydda näthinnan så finns två barriärer – en yttre och en inre blod–näthinne- barriär. Dessa barriärer består av strukturer som håller samman celler iThe adverse effects of drugs in the eye are not easily detected, and the underlying pathogenesis not fully understood. The effects of four different kinds of drugs have been investigated in the rabbit eye, using electroretinography, ocular examination and histochemical methods. Rifabutin is a broad spectrum antibiotic with known ocular adverse effects (corneal opacities, uveitis and vascular ret

Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av en flerdimensionell residual-distributions lösare för Large Eddy Simulation av industriell turbulenta strömningar.This thesis presents the results of the author's research activity to develop a time-space accurate flow-solver for Large Eddy Simulations (LES), based on the Multidimensional Residual Distribution approach. The aim of this work is the attempt to develop a compact high-order algorithm which includes multidimensional flow physics, in hope of creating a better algorithm for LES of turbulent compress

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi har studerat hur man kan använda immunsystemet för att behandla råttor med hjärntumör (maligna gliom). Eftersom råttor väldigt sällan utvecklar hjärntumörer, så måste vi injicera tumörceller i hjärnan själva. Om djuren inte får någon behandling dör de vanligen inom ca. 24 dagar. Får de däremot en injektion i buken eller under huden på benet med genmanipulerade tumörcMalignant glioma is, with rare exceptions in younger adults, an uncurable brain tumor, as very few survive more than 1-2 years after diagnosis. Despite advances in recent years, current treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy only prolongs the life of the patients. Because of the poor prognosis, several additional therapies have been investigated and are under development, such a

Stomatopod crustaceans possess apposition compound eyes that contain more photoreceptor types than any other animal described. While the anatomy and physiology of this complexity have been studied for more than two decades, few studies have investigated the molecular aspects underlying the stomatopod visual complexity. Based on previous studies of the structure and function of the different types

The stability of dispersions containing charged particles may obviously be regulated by salt. In some systems, the effective charge, as measured by the potential some small distance away from the particles, can have a sign opposite to the bare surface charge. If charge reversal takes place, there is typically a salt concentration regime within which colloidal stability increases with added salt. T

The aim of this study was to examine how social workers within the social services in Sweden worked with and defined the child rights principle “the Best Interests of the Child”, which derives from Article 3 of the UN Convention on the “Rights of the Child”. The study is limited to only examining social workers that have been working with children of parents with substance abuse issues. More speci

The purpose of this study was to get an greater knowledge of why women commit crimes, the reasons of why women end up in crime and how it is for women to live in a criminal lifestyle. In our survey we did a text analysis based on autobiographies, which we found by searching on the words ”crime”, ”women” and ”criminal” on different web sites. To gain a greater understanding of these women’s behavio

Under- till mellanordoviciska avlagringar beskrivs med avseende på sedimentologi och koliso-topstratigrafi från två blottningar vid Slemmestad i Oslo-Askerdistriktet i södra Norge samt en borrkärnesektion från Brunfloområdet i Jämtland i Mittsverigeregionen. Avlagringarna från dessa platser jämfördes och korreleras med en borrkärnesektion från Tingskullen på Öland i sydöstra Sverige. Regionalt vikLower through Middle Ordovician strata are described with respect to sedimentology and carbon isotope stratigraphy from two areas, viz. two outcrops at Slemmestad in the Oslo-Asker district of southern Norway and a core section from the Brunflo area in Jämtland, central Sweden. The strata at these locations are compared and further correlation is done with the Tingskullen core section from Öland,

Perovskite solar cells have rapidly been developed over the past several years. Choice of the most suitable solar cell structure is crucial to improve the performance further. Here, we attempt to determine an optimum cell structure for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite sandwiched by "2 and spiro-OMeTAD layers, among planar heterojunction, mesoporous structure, and extremely thin absor
