This work assesses the ability of transradial amputees to discriminate multi-site tactile stimuli in sensory discrimination tasks. It compares different sensory feedback modalities using an artificial hand prosthesis in: 1) a modality matched paradigm where pressure recorded on the five fingertips of the hand was fed back as pressure stimulation on five target points on the residual limb; and 2) a

The Hans Tausen drill site was requested to be on a local dome, as high as possible, with a simple flow pattern and with an undisturbed flow pattern even close to bedrock. The first mapping of the surface elevation was performed as part of a general mapping of the elevation and gravity over Greenland. Later, NASA performed a few overflights of the ice cap. Combining the passes, it was possible to

Little is known about the variation within and among species of long-distance migrants in behavioural strategies and habitat choice on their non-breeding grounds. We report results from regular ringing operations carried out during the winter seasons 2009–2013 and transect counts in 2013, 2015 and 2016 in the Sudan Savanna Zone in Ghana. The best supported capture–mark–recapture model included spe

CD83 is one of the best-known surface markers for fully mature dendritic cells (mature DCs), and its cell-type- and maturation-specific regulation makes the CD83 promoter an interesting tool for the genetic modulation of DCs. To determine the mechanisms regulating this DC- and maturation-specific CD83 expression, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-on-chip microarray, biocomputational, reporter,

Background: Most commonly, volume measurements are used to evaluate the effect of lymphedema treatment, but as the accumulation of lymph fluid can be local, this method may not always be the best. Tissue dielectric constant (TDC) can be applied to identify local lymphedema changes, but has not been used before when evaluating treatment in mild arm lymphedema. Thus, the overall aim of this study wa

Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. This study is based on a real mission implemented by a medical international aid organization (MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières) in Cameroon during the recent Ce

Entrepreneurial universities contribute directly and indirectly to supporting all stages of entrepreneurship. The challenge for entrepreneurial universities is how they can best support academic entrepreneurs through these stages of entrepreneurship. This has led to the creation of different and often ad hoc organizational units within an entrepreneurial university. The organizational challenge fo

In Sweden and elsewhere in the world the construction industry has encountered criticism due to its lower productivity gains in comparison to other industries. This is why continual improvement of processes and forms of cooperation are important, as is utilisation of technologies giving greater efficiencies. The focus in Sweden has mainly been on the construction of multifamily buildings, both bec

This paper intends to present a picture of how the employees at three factories in Sri Lanka percieve themselves in terms of influence and power in their workplace. The three factories are all under swedish ownership; Dem Collective, Tailor Store and Trelleborg. The three companies have been chosen because of their ambition to be good employers, but they have all chosen different paths to achieve

Muntorrhet är en åkomma som uppkommer på grund av salivbrist eller om salivens sammansättning ändras. Sådana förändringar i salivproduktionen kan uppstå på grund av flera olika anledningar. De vanligaste orsakerna är Sjögrens syndrom, diabetes, ätstörningar eller näringsbrist. Muntorrhet kan även uppstå som en bieffekt av strålbehandlingar och receptbelagd medicin. Muntorrhet kan ge upphov till väThe aim of this thesis was threefold: (i) study the association behaviour of β-casein, (ii) study the electrostatic and conformational properties of β-casein, and (iii) evaluate the possibility of using β-casein as a model protein for the acidic proline rich protein (PRP-1). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to determine the size of β-casein aggregates that were formed in aqueous solutions

Korallodling i olika klimatzoner Jordens yta består till 70% av vatten och i många av dessa vatten finns korallrev. Vi människor har sedan länge levt på jordens resurser, men nu lever vi över de resurser som finns att tillgå. En indikator på det är förstörelsen av korallreven runt om i världen. Tack vare klimatförändringar, fiske, illegal handel, turism etc. är reven nu hotade och behöver hjälp fThis study is a quantitative content analysis of the coral gardening in different climate zones and its limitations and possibilities. The purpose of the study is to highlight the different approaches to coral gardening and whether these could be implemented in other climate zones. I will also highlight why coral gardening is important from an environmental perspective. To conduct the study, I hav

I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r

Ny antibiotikakandidat upptäckt i levern hos djuphavsfisken Havsmus Två tidigare okända ämnen med antibiotisk aktivitet har renats fram ur havsmusens lever. I havsmusens lever och giftblåsa har också ämnen med toxiska aktiviteter hittas. Dessa substanser kan vara av intresse för framtagning av smärtstillande och bakteriedödande läkemedel. Penicillinet upptäcktes för 100 år sedan av Alexander FleThe liver oil from C. monstrosa (rat fish) has traditionally been used as a natural remedy in the area around Skagerrak, since it is believed to have a wound healing and analgesic effects. On its back the rat fish carries a vigorous venom spine connected to glandular cells, which secrets toxins. A previous study shows that extract from the liver and venom glands had a cytotoxic activity on A. naup

Att ha välbevarad, vacker hy är något som många människor eftersträvar. Frågan är vilka medel folk är beredda att ta till för att uppnå detta och hur långt tillverkarna vågar gå i sina försök att tillfredsställa konsumenterna. På senaste tiden har en ny typ av skönhetsprodukter dykt upp på marknaden. Produkter som vid första anblick ser ut som vilka ansiktskrämer och serum som helst. Tar man sig Skin integrity is something that matters to a lot of people since it makes up a protective barrier but also contributes to a beautiful appearance. To maintain skin integrity there is a wide range of skin care products on the market to choose from. However, lately one particular product group called "cosmeceuticals” have increased. Cosmeceuticals contain biologically active substances among wh

Den svenska straffprocessrätten präglas av principen om fri bevisprövning, en allmän rättsprincip som innefattar såväl fri bevisföring som fri bevisvärdering. Principen om fri bevisföring innebär att all bevisning, oavsett hur beviset framkommit, får användas mot en brottsmisstänkt i en rättegång. Detta innebär att även bevis som åtkommits på lagstridig väg får användas i den nämnda situationen. The Swedish criminal procedure law is characterized by the principle of free examination of evidence, a general legal principle that includes both free presentation of evidence and free evaluation of evidence. By the principle of free presentation of evidence follows that all evidence, regardless of how the evidence came to light, may be used against a suspect in a criminal trial. This means that

Introduction: Standard dosimetry methods for radionuclide therapies re- quire imaging at multiple time points post injection. An alternative method has been presented in the literature that uses previously acquired pharma- cokinetic data to create so-called dose factors. Multiplying the dose factors with an activity concentration (Bq/ml) taken from a single time point mea- surement results in an e

Uppsatsen undersöker bevisrättsliga och processuella risker förenat med be-visning som består av berörings-DNA och invändningar från den tilltalade att DNA-spåret tillkommit genom sekundäröverföring. De risker som identifierats är att berörings-DNA är behäftat med vissa osäkerheter. Forskning har visat att sådana spår i vissa fall kan överföras genom ett eller flera mellanled. Samtidigt har HD i sThis thesis examines evidentiary and procedural risks associated with evi-dence consisting of touch DNA and objections from the defendant that the DNA trace was transmitted through secondary touch-transfer. The risks identi-fied are that touch DNA is subject to certain ambiguities. Research has shown that such traces can be transmitted through one or more intermediate links. Concurrently, the Swed
