Galaktisk arkeologi kallas det forskningsfältet inom astronomin som undersöker Vintergatans historia i termer av stjärnors kemi, ålder, utveckling, och inte minst deras kinematik. Vintergatan började som ett band av dimma över natthimlen innan människan förstod att det var våran egen Galax, som vi själva satt inuti. Sedan dess har vi försökt förstå allt vi kan om Vintergatan. Galaktisk arkeologi äThe purpose of Galactic archaeology is determining the history of the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. To do this one uses observational data from stellar populations in terms of properties such as kinematics, chemistry, ages, and evolution. In this context a population means stars with similar characteristics and the most notable population is “the Solar Neighbourhood” (SN). Stars orbit with a ‘guiding rad

Denna uppsats visar utifrån narrativ berättelseanalys på samverkan mellan myndigheten Kriminalvårdens struktur, tjänstemäns emotioner och praktiska arbete. Resultatet är till viss del motsägelsefullt genom att myndighetens formella regelverk ser ut att understödja god emotionell energi från arbete och interaktion, samtidigt som upplevelse av eget inflytande kan utläsas som en viktig faktor i för p

The short stories from Francisco Tario, a relatively unknown Mexican author, show signs of a postmodern and individual aesthetic. In order to reach this conclusion, it has been necessary to analyze the phenomenon of the fantastic in its history, its relation to myth and fantasy, and in its particular reception throughout Latin America and Mexico. Furthermore, we have reviewed different models and

The trends are based on data collated from 51 surveillance programmes on breeding birds, which together covered most of the Swedish coastline. I related the trends to foraging guild, the species' distribution, and the species' climatic envelope. I also compared trends inside

Nectar Sources in Sand Dunes – the Pollinators’ Last Stronghold Dunes are a habitat of special importance. They preserve a wide range of flowering plant species that has vanished from most places in our intensively used landscape.

Bourdieus teori om det politiska fältet erbjuder ett analy

Hur kan cellers försvarsmekanismer hjälpa oss förstå Parkinsons sjukdom? Parkinsons sjukdom är den andra mest vanliga neurodegenerativa sjukdomen i världen, och under sjukdomens gång dör allt fler hjärnceller vilket leder till svårigheter för hjärnan. När fler och fler celler försvinner, får hjärnan problem att kontrollera de signaler som den skickar ut till kroppen, vilket leder till symptom somParkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder of the brain which is hallmarked by the presence of large protein-rich cytoplasmic aggregates, called Lewy bodies (LBs), in the neurons. The protein α-synuclein (α-syn) is abundant in these aggregates, and can itself form aggregates. Several mutations linked to α-syn are also linked to an increased risk of contracting PD. In healthy neurons, the chap

p33 as a potential novel therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases Inflammation is a condition usually triggered by infection of invading pathogens such as bacteria or viruses in the body. This invasion is quickly recognized by specific receptors localized on the membrane of cells, ready to sense these so called “danger” signals or foreign material. These receptors are part of the innate immuni
