Background: The metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-amyloid (A beta) is widely studied in Alzheimer's disease, where A beta deposition and plaque development are essential components of the pathogenesis. However, the physiological role of amyloid in the adult nervous system remains largely unknown. We have previously found altered cerebral amyloid metabolism in other neuroinflam
Oral streptococci colonize the oral cavity already during early childhood and establish the foundation for colonization by a multispecies oral microbiota. In the oral cavity, Streptococcus spp. contribute to both health and disease, and can also spread to the blood stream causing bacteremia and systemic diseases such as infectious endocarditis (IE) in certain risk groups. Molecular changes in oral
As climate change progresses, heavy rainfall in Sweden is becoming more frequent and intense, coinciding with an increase in impermeable surfaces in urban areas. This raises the risk of flooding as drainage networks may exceed their capacity due to increased runoff. Understanding the amount of water flowing into drainage networks is crucial for assessing and managing flood risks, as well as approp
The reassignment method is a technique for improving the concentration of signals in spectrograms and other time-frequency representations (TFR). It achieves this by displacing the points in a TFR according to the reassignment vector for every point. By doing so, the reassignment method gives perfect concentration of infinite constant frequency sinusoids, impulses and linear chirps. A downside to
Accurate detection of player positions is essential for sports analysis. Traditional single-camera methods generally suffer from occlusion and diminishing resolution far away. This work proposes using multi-camera Bird's Eye View (BEV) detection to overcome these issues. Synthetically generated data was used to train and test the detection model, which uses images from six cameras placed aroun
Placeringen av verksamheter i olika inkomstslag innebär skattemässiga följder för såväl den enskilde idkaren som för statens skattehandläggning och statskassan. Huruvida en verksamhet ska utgöra hobby eller näring är en bedömningsfråga för Skatteverket och, inte så sällan, för domstolarna. Denna bedömning försvåras av att olika sektorer skiljer sig åt i sina verksamhetsutformningar. I denna uppsaThe allocation of activities to different categories has tax implications for both the individual entrepreneur and the state's tax administration and treasury. Whether an activity should be considered a hobby or a business is a question that comes down to judgement for the Swedish Tax Agency and, potentially, the courts. This is complicated by the fact that activities in different sectors vary
I denna kandidatuppsats undersöks rättsläget i Sverige gällande surrogatmoderskap med det huvudsakliga syftet att granska hur surrogatarrangemangets centralt berörda intressen återspeglas i befintlig lagstiftning och SOU 2016:11. Surrogatmoderskap är en form av assisterad befruktning och innebär att en kvinna genomgår graviditet och förlossning med avsikten att sedan lämna ifrån sig barnet. I svThis bachelor thesis examines the legal situation regarding surrogacy in Sweden, with the main purpose to review how the key interests of a surrogacy arrangement are reflected in current legislation and the public investigation SOU 2016:11. Surrogacy is a form of assisted fertilization and means that a woman goes through pregnancy and childbirth with the intention to hand over the child. Swedish
Multiple studies have found a link between Mg/Ca in foraminifera and various environmental factors (e.g Billups and Schrag, 2002; Dissard et al., 2010; Ferguson et al., 2008). This has allowed for paleoenvi-ronmental reconstructions based on Mg/Ca in foraminifera to be made. My thesis has intended to find the influence of temperature and salinity on Mg/Ca in three species and one benthic Genus of

Sammanfattning: Mantelsignaturen HIMU ( High μ/ High U/Pb) som får sitt namn från dess höga 238U/204Pb innehåll är en av normalt fyra mantelsignaturer som är funnet på flera oceaniska basaltöar över världen så som St Helena. Ursprunget av detta material är okänt men flera hypoteser kring dess bildande finns, där de flesta verkar ha subdukterande oceanskorpa med i bildningsprocessen. Denna litteratAbstract:The mantle signature HIMU (High μ / High U/Pb) which gets its name from its high 238U/204Pb ratios is one of four mantelsignatures which is found on several oceanic basalt islands around the world such as St Helena. There are also several hypotheses about the origin of this HIMU material where most have subducted oceanic plates as part of the formation. The purpose of this literature anal
BACKGROUND: Girls and women with Rett Syndrome (RTT) have low levels of daily physical activity and high levels of sedentary time. Reducing sedentary time and enhancing "uptime" activities, such as standing and walking, could be an important focus for interventions to address long-term health and quality of life in RTT. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and health-rel
Nils Wohlin and the question of inheritance patternsIt has long been assumed that inheritance patterns varied strongly betweendifferent regions. In the early 20th century statistician Nils Wohlin made afamous account of Swedish inheritance patterns, claiming significant differences between Swedish provinces, especially between eastern and western Sweden. Newer studies of inheritance patterns have
Multi‐compartment T2 mapping has gained particular relevance for the study of myelin water in the brain. As a facilitator of rapid saltatory axonal signal transmission, myelin is a cornerstone indicator of white matter development and function. Regularized non‐negative least squares fitting of multi‐echo T2 data has been widely employed for the computation of the myelin water fraction (MWF), and t
OBJECTIVES: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction including Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is common after lung transplantation. Histologically, BOS is recognized as fibrotic lesions with accumulated extracellular matrix (ECM) in small airways. Lung fibroblasts are major producers of ECM and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In this study we hypothesize that VEGF is involved in BOS
Objectives: Study the effect of introducing a template for radiological reporting of non-enhanced computed tomography (NECT) in the primary care diagnostic work up of cognitive impairment using visual rating scales (VRS). Methods: Radiology reports were assessed regarding compliance with a contextual report template and the reporting of the parameters medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA), white matt
Objectives: To evaluate the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to identify normal mammograms in a screening population. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9581 double-read mammography screening exams including 68 screen-detected cancers and 187 false positives, a subcohort of the prospective population-based Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial, were analysed with a deep learning–b
An experimental study of the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) combustion process has been conducted by using chemiluminescence imaging. The major intent was to characterize the flame structure and its transient behavior. To achieve this, time resolved images of the naturally emitted light were taken. Emitted light was studied by recording its spectral content and applying different f
The authors are concerned with the invariant subspaces of $H^2(\Omega)$, where $\Omega$ is a bounded, finitely connected, planar domain with an analytic boundary. A subspace of $H^2(\Omega)$ is said to be invariant if it is invariant under multiplication by $z$, and fully invariant if it is invariant under multiplication by all rational functions with poles off the closure of $\Omega$. If $\Omeg
Malaria is a climate sensitive disease that is causing rampant deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and its impact is expected to worsen under climate change. Thus, pre-emptive policies for future malaria control require projections based on integrated models that can accommodate complex interactions of both climatic and non-climatic factors that define malaria landscape. In this paper, we combined
Objectives: Dysglycemia and glycemic variability are associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients. Targeted temperature management alters blood glucose homeostasis. We investigated the association between blood glucose concentrations and glycemic variability and the neurologic outcomes of patients randomized to targeted temperature management at 33°C or 36°C after cardiac arrest.
