Bioderived, chiral and stable 1-dimensional light-responsive nanostructures : Interconversion between tubules and twisted ribbons

HYPOTHESIS: Self-assembling molecular structures responding to light stimulus are appealing for applications as sensing and drug delivery. Supramolecular nanotubes have a relevant potential in nanotechnology as they can be used to encapsulate different loads like drugs, biological macromolecules, and nanomaterials. In addition, they are suitable elements for novel supracolloidal materials. Structu

Adaptation to microenvironmental stress in glioblastoma. Mechanistic studies and potential targets.

Although the overall mortality in cancer is steadily decreasing, major groups of patients still respond poorly to available treatments. The key clinical challenge addressed in the present thesis work relates to the inherent adaptive capacity of glioblastoma (GBM) tumors, resulting in treatment resistance and dismal prognosis. GBM represents the most common and lethal primary CNS tumor in adults. T

Stability of Robotic Obstacle Avoidance and Force Interaction

Stability problems associated with robot control with obstacle avoidance are analysed. Obstacle avoidance algorithms based on potential function are revised to accomplish stable re-design. A stability proof using Lyapunov theory and passivity theory is provided for the re-designed obstacle avoidance algorithm. The paper presents a modification of potential functions for obstacle avoidance aiming t

Probabilistic analysis of climate change impact on chloride-induced deterioration of reinforced concrete considering Nordic climate

The impact of climate change on the deterioration of reinforced concrete elements have been frequently highlighted as worthy of investigation. This article addresses this important issue by presenting a time-variant reliability analysis to assess the effect of climate change on four limit states; the probabilities of corrosion initiation, crack initiation, severe cracking, and failure of a simply

Years of plenty, years of want? : An introduction to finance and the family life cycle

Research suggests that until recently families in history could only avoid episodes of poverty if they put money aside. By helping to smooth consumption over the family life cycle, finance could prevent impoverishment, and is also likely to have had an effect on family life. Saving may have influenced cohabitation structures and the timing and incidence of birth, marriage, and death. That families

Strategies of visibility in the smart city

Cities across the world are increasingly labelling themselves as smart in one way or another. At the same time, this smartness appears amorphous or invisible in its built urban environment. Critical researchers writing on the smart city regularly express confusion or exasperation about precisely the difficulty to locate the smart in the city. Visibility of the smart city is not a given. This artic

Hur hänger Aktie-SM 1979 ihop med nyliberalismens framväxt i Sverige? Vilken roll spelade kokainet för Sigmund Freuds syn på normalitet? Hur har månen påverkat människan genom historien? Vad fick Mary Wollstonecraft att på resa genom ett kargt Norden omvärdera sin syn på revolutioner? Och vad kan en hästslaktare i 1800-talets Stockholm säga oss om människans paradoxala förhållande till djuren?Bild

Hippocampal Function Is Impaired by a Short-Term High-Fat Diet in Mice: Increased Blood–Brain Barrier Permeability and Neuroinflammation as Triggering Events

Worldwide, and especially in Western civilizations, most of the staple diets contain high amounts of fat and refined carbohydrates, leading to an increasing number of obese individuals. In addition to inducing metabolic disorders, energy dense food intake has been suggested to impair brain functions such as cognition and mood control. Here we demonstrate an impaired memory function already 3 days

Promoting nature-based solutions: Guideline for integrating ecosystem-based adaptation into municipal planning and governance

Det här dokumentet ger lokala politiker och tjänstemän ett processorienterat verktyg för att stärka förankringen (integreringen) av ekosystembaserad klimatanpassning i relevanta sektorer av kommunal verksamhet. Guiden presenterar systematiskt de nivåer och områden där förankring av ekosystembaserad klimatanpassning är viktigt, och möjliggör på så sätt planering och bedömning av åtgärder. Det övergThis guideline offers local government officers and local politicians process‐oriented assistance for integrating ecosystem‐based adaptation within relevant sectors of municipal administration with the aim of fostering sustainable urban development. It is thus an instrument to support leadership of this integration process. The levels and areas where integration of ecosystem‐based adaptation isrel

Mechanosensitive transcriptional regulation of gene expression in smooth muscle. Implications for health and disease

Smooth muscle participates in forming the wall of hollow organs, tracts, and blood vessels. Therefore, it plays a critical role in mediating vital functions in the body including regulation of blood pressure. In response to changes in the surrounding microenvironment, smooth muscle cells can modulate their phenotype and dedifferentiate from being quiescent contractile to a more proliferative and m
