Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom är en av de vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomarna i västvärlden. Vad som orsakar sjukdomen är fortfarande okänt men det betyder sannolikt att det är många faktorer som samverkar för att leda fram till sjukdomen. De mest framträdande symptomen i Parkinsons sjukdom är stelhet, oförmåga att initiera rörelser (s.k. akinesi), balanssvårigheter och tremor (daAnimal models of Parkinson’s disease and L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia are essential to explore pathophysiological hypotheses and to test new treatment options. There are many different animal models of Parkinson's disease, which differ greatly with respect to species, mechanisms of nigral cell death, and extent of dopamine-dependent motor deficits. My work has been performed in rats and mice with uni

No abstract but see Conclusion: In this article I have described a kind of relationship to the subject which may aptly be called a perspective while distinguishing it from other similar phenomena (such as “aspect”): it is a case in which an object is conceived as being constant, while the modes of access which a subject may have to it varies. I have also singled out some different kinds of perspe

uses a microporous membrane operated in cross-flow. The continuous phase is pumped along the membrane and sweeps away dispersed phase droplets forming from pore openings as shown in Figure 1. The key feature of the membrane emulsification process, which sets it apart from conventional emulsification technologies, is that the size distribution of the resulting droplets is primarily governed by the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Extracellulär matrix är namnet på det molekylära nätverk vilket finns mellan celler i flercelliga organismer. Det består av socker och proteiner organiserade i olika vävnadsspecifika nätverk. Två huvudformer finns, basalmembran och interstitiell extracellulär matrix. Basalmembran ligger som en tunn filt under epitel- och endotelceller, runt fettväv, muskler och periferaBasement membranes are sheet like structures underlying epithelial, endothelial, adipocytes, muscle and peripheral nerve cells. Laminins are an important family of basement membrane proteins implicated in various biological functions through their interactions with cell surface receptors. Laminins are trimers composed of a, b and g chains. Integrins, dystroglycan and other transmembrane glycoprote

In addition to three personal narratives by musicians from different continents, the author has invited scholars from diverse spezialisations and locations to comment on different sections of the book, opening up a critical dialogue with voices from different parts of the globe. Musical categorization, identity, values, aesthetic evaluation, creativity, curriculum, assessment and teacher education

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom kemin kan uppbyggnaden av molekylära aggregat styras genom att använda sig av kovalenta bindningar eller genom att utnyttja svaga växelverkningar. Den moderna kemin baseras på många års grundforskning på reaktionsförlopp där bildningen av en kovalent bindning stått i fokus vilket har gjort det möjligt att förutsäga utfallet av en sådan reaktion. Däremot är det betyThis thesis is devoted to the development and investigation of a supramolecular system used to catalyze Jacobsen-Katsuki epoxidations with the aim to attain substrate selectivity without product inhibition. The supramolecular catalyst is composed of two well-defined entities or units: a catalytic and a receptor. The keyword for the design was flexibility. The interactions foming the supramolecula

The aim of this thesis is to study how young women’s information literacies are enacted in practices related to evaluation and use of information sources before choosing a contraceptive and thereby to discuss how these practices relate to the young women’s sexual and civic identities. A sociocultural perspective, which brings with it a view on information literacy as contingent and enacted in prac

We present a model for supporting scoping decisions that is based on an analysis of the ROI for a given feature. Employing a ROI threshold value for making scoping decisions, the utility of the model was investigated using data from a single large project and identified a group of outlying features responsible for a disproportionate wasted investment. These initial results are promising and indica
