Motor sequence learning research has been primarily concerned with simple frequentist patterns, thereby neglecting the motor system's ability to handle uncertainty and non-deterministic environments. In this study, we combine methods from motor neuroscience and neurolinguistics to study how probabilistic systems are acquired during motor learning. Two groups of young adults practiced a probabilist

As a contribution to the Symposium on Protest and Legal Mobilization, this blog post examines the multifaceted ways in which the Yazidi diaspora in Sweden has pursued justice in the aftermath of the 2014 genocide. It highlights how prosecutions under universal jurisdiction, while symbolically significant, often remain distant from victim-survivors’ lived experiences, and how rituals, commemoration

I denna avhandling undersöks opinionsundersökningens introduktion i Sverige under mitten av 1900-talet. Fokus ligger på Svenska Gallupinstitutet AB, som 1941 etablerades som landets första opinionsinstitut och som introducerade den urvalsbaserade enkätundersökningen som ett nytt medium genom vilket den allmänna opinionen kunde representeras. De hade i princip monopol på området till 1950-talets miThis thesis examines the introduction and impact of opinion polling in Sweden during the mid-twentieth century, focusing on the activities of the Swedish Gallup Institute (Svenska Gallupinstitutet). Established in 1941 as the country’s first polling organization, the institute introduced sample surveys as a new means of representing public opinion and had a near-monopoly on polling until its decli

In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) the pathogenetic process is characterized by dysbiosis, increased permeability, translocation, and immune activation. The aim of the present study was to assess the presence of viable bacteria in the blood of patients with IBD and to correlate the findings with clinical characteristics. The study included 28 patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) (median age 38 year

Background and aim: Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in the intestines activates leukocytes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leads to lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. Rosehips have a high content of polyphenols and might prevent lipid peroxidation. Some Lactobacillus species are capable of degrading polyphenols to simpler and non-toxic constituents, sometimes with enhanced antioxidative capacity.

The most common cause of death in pediatric cancer patients is a treatment-resistant tumor, compounded by metastatic spread, making surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy unfeasible as curative treatment options. However, the mechanisms behind metastatic spread in pediatric tumors remain largely unexplored. We conducted whole-genome copy number profiling on 171 primary tumor and metastases s

In Paper I, 4703 subjects from the Malmö Cost Cancer cohort, with a mean follow-up of 16.5 years, were evaluated for future risk of ischemic stroke in relation to levels of s-LOX1. An increased risk was found for higher level of sLOX-1 OR 1.75 (1.28-2.39), p<0.001, increasing in presence of carotid plaque OR 2.42 (1.71-3.44), p<0.001. Endothelial cells were exposed to oxLDL, resulting in release o

The effect of Cr variation on FCC/BCC phase formation AlCoCrxFeNi (x=0 - 1) is explored in the present work. Cr is known to be a BCC stabilizerand s-phase former. These phases were reported in AlCoCrFeNi HEAobtained through casting route. We adopted mechanical alloying andspark plasma sintering route, since it suppresses certain complexphases. It is observed that the Cr assists in FCC phase in com

Cr is known to be a BCC stabilizer in steels. In case of nanocrystalline AlCoCrFeNi high entropy alloys (HEA) synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) and consolidated by spark plasma sintering (SPS), the systematic increase of Cr content from 0 mole to 1 mole supports and provides for the increase of Fe-Co-Cr rich FCC multicomponent phase. This increase in FCC phase fraction with increasing Cr con

AlxCoCrFeNi (x=0,0.3,0.6,1 mole) high entropy alloys with multiprincipal elements and varying Al content were synthesized through mechanical alloying. Elemental blends of CoCrFeNi, Al0.3CoCrFeNi, Al0.6CoCrFeNi and AlCoCrFeNi powders were subjected to high energy ball milling in Fritsch Pulverisette P-5 until the formation of solid solution. The as-milled HEA powders having grain sizes of around 10

One of the most anticipated properties of high entropy alloys (HEA) is excellent oxidation resistance. AlxCoCrFeNi (x=0,0.3,0.6,1 mole) HEAs were synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) followed by consolidation through spark plasma sintering (SPS). Alloys with x = 0 and 0.3 show single phase FCC structure, whereas those with x = 0.6 and 1 have dual phases – FCC and BCC. Interestingly, synthesis t

DevOps has significantly improved the software development life-cycle by enabling fast, automated, and continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). However, its application to Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) presents unique challenges that require rethinking of traditional practices. DevOps in CPS becomes even more challenging when we consider sustainability, which is becoming increasingly importan
