Parkinson’s disease (PD) is considered one of the most frequent neurodegenerative disorders amongst elderly people. PD leads to loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra of the brain giving symptoms such as slowness of movement and dementia. PD brains have been found to contain accumulations of a protein named alpha‐synuclein (α‐syn). Additional to its aggregation propensity in PD it is als

Kan man spåra framtida läkemedel i kroppen med radioaktivt fluor? Hur fungerar egentligen olika läkemedel? De allra flesta kanske inte bryr sig, så länge det lindrar din huvudvärk eller tar hand om din infektion. Men när man ska ta fram nya läkemedel måste man tyvärr vara lite mer noggrann än så. Eftersom kostnaden för att gå från en flaska på kemilabbet till en burk på apoteket ofta är miljardbelGalectin-3 is a soluble protein in the body that has been shown involvement in biological processes such as tumour growth and metastasis as well as auto immune disease. Molecules developed by Ulf Nilsson’s research group have shown inhibitory effect in in vitro and in vivo studies towards galecin-3 but to get detailed information about distribution in vivo studies using PET should be performed. Pr

Cartels are by nature secretive and thereby hard to find. As a way to stop these hard-core cartels an American system emerged which since has been exported worldwide - a leniency pro-gramme. The affected parties are given an opportunity to inform the authorities and the com-pany who does so is in return released from any potential charges, provided that they follow the authorities guidelines durin

The crime of gross violation of a woman’s integrity is based on the fact that criminal acts committed by a man against a woman to whom he is, or has been, married or with whom he is, or has been cohabiting under circumstances similar to marriage, are to be assessed more seriously if each of the acts was part of a repeated violation of the person’s integrity and the acts were liable to severely dam

Hur kan antibiotikabehandling vid tuberkulos bidra till lungskada? Varför drabbas många tuberkulospatienter av långvariga lungskador, trots att infektionen är botad? Ny forskning visar att antibiotikan i sig kan spela en oväntad roll. När bakterierna utsätts för stressen som antibiotikan orsakar, börjar de släppa ifrån sig små kapslar, liknande mikroskopiska paket, som kan trigga immunförsvaret oTuberculosis (TB) affects millions of people annually and remains one of the leading causes of infectious diseases-related deaths in the world. Current anti-TB treatment consists of a prolonged regimen of multiple antibiotics, which effectively eliminates the bacteria when it is not antibiotic resistant. However, large proportions of the TB-treated individuals experience persistent pulmonary dysfu

Uppsatsen behandlar brottet egenmäktighet med barn som regleras i 7 kap. 4 § BrB. Syftet med uppsatsen är att redogöra för och analysera bestämmelsen om egenmäktighet med barn. Uppsatsen behandlar även bestämmelsens historiska bakgrund, dess utveckling samt rättstillämpning och i förekommande fall även annan lagstiftning som kan bli tillämplig i samband med det aktuella brottet. I bestämmelsens The paper deals with the offence arbitrary conduct concerning a child which is regulated in Chapter 7, 4 § Swedish Penal Code. The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the regulation of arbitrary conduct concerning a child. The paper also addresses the regulation’s historical background, its development and enforcement and, where appropriate, other legislation that may be applicable in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prostata cancer är en av de vanligast förekommande cancerformerna hos män i västvärlden och den vanligaste förekommande hos män i Sverige. Årligen diagnosticeras i Sverige ungefär 6000 fall och mer än 2000 avlider. Drygt 70% av alla som drabbas är äldre än 70 år medan endast ett fåtal är yngre än 50 år. Sjukdomen ter sig mycket olika hos olika patienter. En del som drabHuman glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) is a predominantly prostate produced protein with many similarities to prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Just like for PSA elevated levels of hK2 can be found in men with protate cancer. We created an assay where hK2 in serum could reliably and with negligible cross-reactivity with PSA, be measured down to 0.030 ng/mL. The assay measured free hK2 and hK2 complexe

In Sweden, as in other industrialised nations, occupational exposure limits are considered to be an important tool for chemical risk management, although many other factors also play a role in occupational safety and health management. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of occupational exposure limits in relation to information about, and the risk perception of, chemicals. An interv

In this study, we simulated heterotrophic CO2 (Rh) fluxes at six European peatland sites using the ECOSSE model and compared them to estimates of Rh made from eddy covariance (EC) measurements. The sites are spread over four countries with different climates, vegetation and management. Annual Rh from the different sites ranged from 110 to 540 g C m(-2). The maximum annual Rh occurred when the wate

The diversity and community composition of moths (both macro- and micromoths) at 32 sites, representing a wide range of habitat types (forests, grasslands, wetlands, agricultural and urban areas) within a restricted region in central Scania,southern-most Sweden, was investigated by use of light moth traps and compared with vascular plant species richness and habitat characteristics. The results re

Machine control with GPS allows machinists to operate using a digital model as reference instead of the traditionally used methods. This leads to other duties and a different flow at the worksite. The purpose of this study is to examine how various professions have changed with the development of machine controlled equipment and also how the work methods can be optimized. A series of interviews ha

Background: The IKEA Range & Supply organisation consists of business areas (BAs) and categories. BAs work with product development toward end-customers while the material-based categories work toward suppliers with purchasing and sourcing related tasks. There exists an internal cross-organisational interface between these units and IKEA recently created Sourcing Assignment as a tool to encour

Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskvärdering av neonatalintensivvårdsavdelningen på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund. Syftet med rapporten är att göra en brandteknisk riskvärdering för att undersöka om personsäkerheten på neo-IVA kan säkerställas vid brand på avdelningen. Patienterna på denna avdelning är för tidigt födda barn som inte överlever utan den livsuppehållande utrustning som finns i This report is a fire safety evaluation of the neonatal intensive care unit at the Skåne University Hospital in Lund. The purpose of the report is to make a fire safety evaluation to investigate whether the personal safety can be ensured in the event of a fire in the ward. The patients in this ward do not survive without their life-sustaining equipment and cannot evacuate their rooms on their own

Taphonomy is the study of how different processes have affected the osteological material, from the death of the animal and forward. The purpose of the analysis is to study how taphonomic processes and fluvial activity affect the preservation of osteological material in a wetland environment, by examining the zooarchaeological material from Röekillorna Spring (Löderup parish, Scania). A quantitati

Three well-known dynamic acidification models (MAGIC, SAFE, SMART) were applied to data sets from five Integrated Monitoring sites in Europe. The calibrated models were used in a policy-oriented framework to predict the long-term soil acidification of these background forest sites, given different scenarios of future deposition of S and N. Emphasis was put on deriving realistic site-specific scena

Active site titration and activity measurements were performed in hexane on lyophilised lipase preparations containing different amounts of phosphate buffer and lipase immobilised on porous polypropylene. Lyophilisation of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase with large quantities of phosphate salts (200 mm) increased the specific activity fourfold, and the number of rapidly titratable active sites incr
