The Potential Use of Degradable Starch Microspheres as a Carrier for Nasal Drug Administration

Nasal administrering är en administeringsmetod där läkemedel inhaleras genom näsan. Metodens huvudsakliga syfte är att snabbt och effektivt behandla lokala symtom. Men på senare tid har det även ökats intresse för att uppnå en systemisk effect, där läkemedlet når blodomloppet och därigenom påverkar hela kroppen. Näshålan är ungefär 15-20 ml, med en yta på cirka 150 cm2 och är uppdelad i två symmIntranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route

Who is Adapting to a New Culture? Unmasking How Personality Traits Predict Acculturation Among Non-Western Immigrants in Sweden

Using data from 159 participants (Mage = 27.11 years; SD = 6.47; 55% men), we investigate the relationships between personality traits, acculturation towards heritage and mainstream culture, and sociocultural adaptation among non-Western immigrants in Sweden. A series of regression analyses have shown conscientiousness and agreeableness significantly related to heritage culture identification, whi

Novel and unusual genes for nitrogen and metal cycling in Planctomycetota- and KSB1-affiliated metagenome-assembled genomes reconstructed from a marine subsea tunnel

The Oslofjord subsea road tunnel is a unique environment in which the typically anoxic marine deep subsurface is exposed to oxygen. Concrete biodeterioration and steel corrosion in the tunnel have been linked to the growth of iron- and manganese-oxidizing biofilms in areas of saline water seepage. Surprisingly, previous 16S rRNA gene surveys of biofilm samples revealed microbial communities domina

“Head Over Heels in Love”: Infatuation and Companionate Love - The Role of Attachment, Emotion Regulation, and Relationship Satisfaction

While some individuals experience romantic relationships as overwhelming and intense, others experience their relationship as more secure and stable. Previous research has shown that individual differences in attachment account for various characteristics of romantic relationships. The present study (N = 280) investigates why romantic relationships are experienced differently, proposing infatuatio

Parianfiguriner - bruk, funktion, betydelser

Parian ware figurines – use, function, meanings This essay examines the parian ware figurines produced in Sweden between 1861 and 1900. Its primary concern is the use and function of the figurines, and the meanings attached to them by societal ideals and ideas. This has not been priorly investigated. Parian ware is a white unglazed porcelain, resembling white marble. Parian ware figurines were p

Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy Measurements as a Process Monitoring Approach for Blending with Magnesium Stearate

In tablet manufacturing, the addition of lubricant to the formulation is of high importance as it ensures smooth compression and ejection of tablets and thereby tablet quality. This study focused on lubrication of tablet formulation using magnesium stearate (MgSt) as a lubricant and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as bulk material. Powder blends were analysed to investigate whether an effect of v

The role of different dopants of Spiro-OMeTAD hole transport material on the stability of perovskite solar cells : A mini review

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have demonstrated rapid advancements in power conversion efficiency (PCE) in recent years, reaching 25.7% within a decade. However, the stability of PSCs lags behind in comparison, with short lifetimes being a major obstacle to commercialization. The various layers and interfaces within PSCs play a significant role in both PCE and stability. Spiro-OMeTAD is the most c

Spectral broadening of 4 mJ femtosecond pulses using a bulk multi-pass cell

Ultrakorta laserpulser är bara några femtosekunder(10−15s) långa. De är alltså över på några miljondels miljardels sekunder. Många avändningsområden kräver ännu kortare pulser. Det kan röra sig om materialmodifiering på nanoskalan, ögonoperationer, datalagring, eller mätning av händelseförlopp som är över på bara några femtosekunder - eller mindre! Det finns olika tekniker för att ta en laserpulsNonlinear optical effects can be used for spectral broadening, which the basis of the field of post-compression of laser pulses. When the intensity of light becomes high enough the refractive index becomes intensity dependent, and as the intensity often varies both with position and time so does the refractive index. The consequence of the position dependence is self focusing, an often unfavorable

Thematically, these two modes of global governance strongly overlap. Several SDGs are in line with human rights obligations. At the same time, the SDGs and human rights are based on divergent logics and constructed very differently. After capturing

Hållbarhetsredovisning som marknadsföringsverktyg – En undersökning av de marknadsföringsrättsliga konsekvenserna av företagens hållbarhetsredovisning

Miljö- och klimatfrågor blir alltmer aktuella i samhället. Såväl konsumenter som företag och internationella organisationer lägger större fokus på dessa frågor. Exempelvis använder företag ofta miljöpåståenden i sin marknadsföring, det vill säga påståenden som skapar intrycket att en produkt har en positiv inverkan, saknar inverkan eller har en mindre inverkan på miljön än andra produkter. DärtillEnvironmental and climate issues are becoming increasingly relevant in society. Both consumers and companies, as well as international organizations are placing greater focus on these issues. For example, companies often use environmental claims in their marketing, making statements that create the impression that a product has a positive impact, no impact or a lesser impact on the environment com
