Wnt-signaling is one of the most abundant pathways involved in processes such as cell-proliferation, -polarity, and -differentiation. Altered Wnt-signaling has been linked with several neurodevelopmental disorders including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as well as with cognitive functions, learning and memory. Particularly, lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) or LRP6 co
The material evidence left from the cult of Sabazios is meagre, apart from sculpted bronze hands dating to the Roman Empire. The hand is held in a certain pose, the so-called benedictio Latina gesture, and the hand was often covered with depictions of various objects and symbols. The bronze hands were probably attached to staffs and carried around in processions. This practice most likely spread v
Laminar burning velocities of hydrocarbon blends of relevance to natural gas combustion, with addition of 0, 10, 35 and 50% hydrogen, were measured using the heat flux method. Hydrocarbon blends were methane (80%)/ethane (20%), methane (80%)/propane (20%) and methane (80%)/ethane (10%)/propane (10%), and in addition experiments were performed using pure methane as a fuel. For the first time it was
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre uppsatser som behandlar empiriska tillämpningar av makroekonomiska teorier. Uppsatserna är fristående från varandra, men knyts samman genom att kointegrationsanalys används i de empiriska analyserna. Kointegrationsanalys är en statistisk metod som syftar till att hitta långsiktiga samband mellan olika variabler i ett empiriskt datamaterial. EfThis thesis focuses on empirical applications and tests of macroeconomic theories. It consists of three fairly distinct essays, bound together by the common theme of the use of cointegration analysis in the empirical macroeconomic analysis. The first chapter is an introductory chapter, while chapter two, three and four contain the three essays. The first essay, Wage Formation and the Relation bet
The chapter deals with the problem how history is used to promote a regional consciousness, focusing mainly on the Barents region.
Bulgarian apico-alveolar stops and Swedish dorsovelar stops are palatalized when adjacent to front vowels. An X-ray motion film study of these assimilations (part of an ongoing investigation of the temporal organisation of coarticulation and assimilation) is presented. Two issues are examined, extrinsic vs intrinsic production of assimilation and feature spreading vs. coproduction. The articulator
At high temperatures, pentaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E5) in D2O forms a swollen lamellar phase. This letter reports the shear induced multilamellar vesicle (MLV) formation in a sample that contains 40 wt % C12E5 dissolved in D2O at 55 degrees C. This transition has been investigated by time-resolved rheo-nuclear magnetic resonance, rheo small angle neutron scattering, and rheometry. Th
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna uppsats är ett examensarbete, utfört som ett Minor Field Studie stipendie i Laos. Uppsatsen behandlar temat avskogning - erosion. Laos är ett land i Sydostasien som gränsar till länderna Thailand, Vietnam, Kambodja, Burma och Kina. 1991 täcktes fortfarande 47 % av landets totala areal av orörda skogar. Laos inriktning mot en marknadsekonomi främjar avverkThe Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) is a small landlocked country in South-East Asia, where virgin forest still covers almost 47 % of the country’s total area (1991). Logging offers the potential to improve the economy of the Lao PDR. Besides legal logging activities, illegal logging to provide the population with agricultural land, pasture and firewood is taking place. Since the Lao PD
Fotbollen är en av världens absolut största populärkulturella fenomen vad gäller allt från fritidsintresse till en global industri med mängder av stora ekonomiska investeringar. Således finns mer intressanta aspekter av fotbollen än enbart det rent sportsliga utövandet att undersöka inom samhällsvetenskapen. Tidigare studier har genomgående påpekat att fotbollen, sett ur ett klassperspektiv, haft
Created in the aftermath of the Second World War the United Nations and its bodies do not represent the world that we live in today. The effectiveness and the usefulness of the organisation have been questioned and the need for a reformation has increased. The distinction between power and authority and the different organs of the UN is difficult to draw. The Security Council has the main responsi
Denna uppsats behandlar några av de frågetecken som uppkommer vid tillämpningen av artikel 102 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt i förhållande till evergreening av läkemedelspatent. Begreppet evergreening syftar till ett flertal olika patentstrategier som har för avsikt att förlänga den privilegierade position som en patenthavare åtnjuter när hans eller hennes produkt skyddas av ensThis thesis identifies some of the uncertainties surrounding the application of Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) to evergreening of pharmaceutical patens. The concept of ever¬greening refers to a multitude of strategies adopted by patent holders with the aim to extend the privileged position that the patentee holds due to this exclusive right. Evergreening
This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study encompassing data collected from 108 in-depth interviews and 15 participatory workshops aimed at exploring the requirements of a diverse range of stakeholders in relation to assistive augmentative technologies. The study involved 39 poststroke patients with hand paresis, 39 individuals with spinal cord injuries affecting upper limb func
The δ13C chemostratigraphy of five of the seven Ordovician global stages has been published previously but no such data have been available from the Floian GSSP and most of the Sandbian GSSP in Sweden. This lack of information has now been remedied by isotope data obtained from series of closely spaced shale samples collected from the Floian stratotype at Diabasbrottet in Västergötland and the San
