Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects 50 million people worldwide. The immune system plays a major role in the pathogenesis of AD. Several retrospective analyses have reported a decreased risk of AD and other dementias in bladder cancer patients treated with immunotherapy in the form of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) bladder instillations. We tested this hypothesis in a Swedish population-ba

We propose to use quantum information notions to characterize thermally induced melting of nonperturbative bound states at high temperatures. We apply tensor networks to investigate this idea in static and dynamical settings within the Ising quantum field theory, where bound states are confined fermion pairs - mesons. An equilibrium signature of meson melting is identified in the temperature depen

Denna uppsats undersöker hur Marieholms Yllefabrik skulle kunna transformeras för att finna en ny funktion och mening. Marieholms yllefabrik förde verksamhet fram till 2002 då fabriken stängde sina dörrar. Fabriken består av flera byggnader men denna uppsats kommer att fokusera på hur byggnaden fabriken skulle kunna transformeras. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i minnen och försöker att undersöka

Language development starts during the fetal period when the brain is sensitive to endocrine disruptions from environmental contaminants. This systematic review aims to systematically summarize the existing literature on early-life exposure to PFAS and children’s language and communication development, which is an indicator of neurocognitive development. A structured literature search was conducte

We present small-Angle neutron scattering studies of the magnetic vortex lattice (VL) in Ca0.04Y0.96Ba2Cu3O7 up to a field of 16.7 T and Ca0.15Y0.85Ba2Cu3O7 up to 25 T to investigate the general behavior of the superconducting gap in YBCO-based compounds at high magnetic field. We find in these overdoped compounds that the series of VL structure transitions have shifted down in field relative to t

Cells have an incredible ability to physically interact with neighboring cells and their environment. They can detect and respond to mechanical forces by converting mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals in a process known as mechanotransduction. This is a key process for the adaption of vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells to altered flow and pressure conditions. Mechanical stimuli,

This chapter explores the history of emblems, which appear on a broad spectrum between printed literature, visual art, and material culture. Starting from Andrea Alciato’s Emblematum liber of 1531, the chapter explores multiple approaches on how emblems can be understood in the context of other multimodal media types such as insignia, badges, epigrams, hieroglyphs, and visual artifacts.

RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE: Atypical anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis is characterized by a bright linear immunoglobulin staining along the GBM by immunofluorescence without a diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis nor serum anti-GBM antibodies by conventional ELISA. We characterized a series of patients with atypical anti-GBM disease.STUDY DESIGN: Case series.SETTING & PARTICIP

Könsrelaterade löneskillnader har försökt bekämpas på EU-nivå genom likalöneprincipen som stadgas i artikel 157 FEUF och är konkretiserad i Recastdirektivet. Bestämmelserna verkar inte vara tillräckliga för att eliminera problemet. Utöver lönediskrimineringsförbud, har arbetsgivare i Sverige en skyldighet att arbeta med aktiva åtgärder. Trots att löneskillnader minskat på den svenska arbetsmarknadThe EU has tried to combat the gender pay gap through the principle of equal pay. Article 157 TFEU and the Recast Directive alone cannot eradicate the issue. According to the Discrimination Act, employers in Sweden shall both comply with the ban on discrimination and work with active measures. Although the gender pay gap has decreased in the labour market, it reaches 9,9%. Besides, the unexplained

The purpose of this study was to examine drug availability and social risk- and safety factors regarding adolescents' drug use. The method used for this study was a survey, with 140 students from Helsingborg's high schools as respondents, allowing a quantitative analysis. The theory used in this study was Albert Bandura's social learning theory. Previous research shows that there are s

In this article, we compare two compounding structures in Spanish and Italian that have been described as consisting of a noun and a predicate, where the former has been argued to be interpreted as an argument of the latter: the VN structure (Sp. lavaplatos It. lavapiatti “dish washerµ) and the NV structure (Sp. videovigilanci It. videosorveglianza, “video surveillanceµ). We show that the differen

In this Letter, we manipulate the phase shift of a Josephson junction using a parallel double quantum dot (QD). By employing a superconducting quantum interference device, we determine how orbital hybridization and detuning affect the current-phase relation in the Coulomb blockade regime. For weak hybridization between the QDs, we find π junction characteristics if at least one QD has an unpaired

All of our toothbrushes are de- signed to be thrown away. all the corner and delicate details suit the purpose of becoming fast unappeling. even the electric components are desgined with planned obsoleszenz in mind.

Dagens produktion och användning av plaster är omfattande. En mycket stor del av de plaster som produceras används som förpackningsmaterial, vilket används enbart en gång innan det slängs och hamnar på deponier eller i naturen. Väl i naturen kan plasterna fastna omkring eller i sin helhet ätas av djur, som sedan går ett mörkt öde till mötes. De plaster som hamnar i vattendrag, sjöar och hav utsättPlastics are widely used and get degraded to micro- and nanoplastics once entering the environment. Nanoparticles have different properties compared to the bulk form of the material. Protein coronas are formed in biological systems and cause structural changes to the bound proteins. The effects following the nanoparticles’ interactions with the biological systems are worth studying to find possibl

När en himlakropp med hyperhastighet kolliderar med jorden skapas nedslagskratrar. Nedslags- kratrar ger oss en inblick i hur jordens geologi har blivit påverkad av dessa storskaliga event. När nedslag sker om- vandlas projektilens rörelseenergi till chockvågor som rör sig genom berggrunden och deformerar mineral. Detta fenomen har kommit att kallas för chockmetamorfos. Chockvågen skapar chockm

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt hur regleringen kring visselblåsning och företagshemligheter har inneburit en kompromiss mellan två olika intressen. Utifrån detta har följande frågor besvarats. Hur skyddas visselblås-ning/visselblåsare i gällande rätt? Vilka intressen ligger bakom skyddet för visselblåsning och hur återges dessa i förarbeten och EU-direktiv? Hur regleras skyddet för företagshemlIn this essay, I have examined how legislation on whistle blowing and trade secrets and the ways in which it has resulted in a compromise between two different interests. Based on this purpose, the following questions have been answered. How are whistleblowing and whistleblowers protected by current law? What are the fundamental interests that motivates the protection of whistleblowing and how are
