Samverkan har blivit en nyckelterm för att förstå akademins förväntade roll i samhället. Genom samverkansprojekt ska nya värden, lösningar och framgångar skördas. Men hur går detta till i praktiken? Samverkan handlar om relationer, och relationer förändras över tid. Just föränderligheten och brokigheten när det gäller samverkan är viktig att förstå. Vilka är utmaningarna och möjligheterna? Samverk

I Indien pågår en digitalisering utöver det vanliga. Målsättningen är att 550 miljoner indier ska ha tillgång till internet om tre år jämfört med 159 miljoner i dag.

The thesis of this paper is that it is possible to explain why a culpable aggressor forfeits his right not to suffer the harm necessary to prevent his aggression if a killer forfeits his right to life. I argue that this strategy accounts also for the necessity restriction on self-defense. I respond to several objections, including the worry that it makes no sense to attempt a derivation of the rel

Multiplex proteomic platforms provide excellent tools for investigating associations between multiple proteins and disease (e.g., diabetes) with possible prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic implications. In this study our aim was to explore novel pathophysiological pathways by examining 92 proteins and their association with incident diabetes in a population-based cohort (146 cases of diabetes

Livets minsta byggstenar är celler (från latinets cella; litet rum). Hos encelliga djur, t. ex bakterier och jäst innehåller de enskilda cellerna allt som behövs för att leva och föröka sig. Hos flercelliga organismer är cellerna specialiserade och bygger tillsammans med andra specialiserade celler upp vävnader, organ och hela organismer. Gemensamt för alla celler är att de utvändigt omsluts av etAquaporins (AQPs) are membrane-bound intrinsic water channels that allow the passive diffusion of water and small solutes across cellular membranes. There are 13 highly conserved isoforms of these channels in human, which differ in specificity, regulation and localisation in cells and tissues. The work in this thesis focuses on AQP0 and AQP2; water-specific aquaporins that are known to interact wi

According to Social Role Theory, gender stereotypes are dynamic constructs influenced by actual and perceived changes in what roles women and men occupy (Wood and Eagly, 2011). Sweden is ranked as one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, with a strong national equality discourse and a relatively high number of men engaging in traditionally communal roles such as parenting and domestic t

The experience of being imitated is theorised to be a driving force of infant social cognition, yet evidence on the emergence of imitation recognition and the effects of imitation in early infancy is disproportionately scarce. To address this lack of empirical evidence, in a within-subjects study we compared the responses of 6-month old infants when exposed to ipsilateral imitation as opposed to n

Pairwise comparison of sound and radio signals can be used to estimate the distance between two units that send and receive signals. In a similar way it is possible to estimate differences of distances by correlating two received signals. There are essentially two groups of such methods, namely methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinement

Recent progress in stem cell biology and epigenetic reprogramming has opened up previously unimaginable possibilities to study and develop regenerative approaches for neurological disorders. Human neurons and glial cells can be generated by differentiation of embryonic and neural stem cells and from somatic cells through reprogramming to pluripotency (followed by differentiation) as well as by dir
