Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s can be treated with stem-cell derived specialized neurons. In order to achieve precise directed neural differentiation in vitro we need to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms behind in vivo neural tube patterning. We implement a 3D computational model of brain patterning to simulate this process. The mathematical model is set up by unifying two e
Syftet med denna uppsats var att studera verbala kränkningar som en motsvarighet till vad som beskrivs som psykisk misshandel i Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Mitt huvudsakliga undersökningsområde var hur verbala kränkningar i hemmet hanterats vid beslut om förberedande av vård av unga med stöd av 1 och 2 §§ LVU. Jag gjorde en tematisk analys på 8 rättsfall med syfMy aim with this thesis was to study verbal abuse as an equivalent to psychological abuse in The Care of Young Persons Act (LVU). The primary focus was on verbal abuse in the home as a reason to take a child into protective custody according to LVU. I made a thematic analysis on 8 court cases, with the purpose to find how the Social welfare board and County administrative board reasoned, when it c
Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance
The study focuses on how Sweden addresses CBRNE-(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives) associated risks. A changed security environment has seen an intensive increase in CBRNE-associated risks. The aim of the study is to analyse and compare Swedish and international strategies to suggest improvements for Sweden's CBRNE preparedness, particularly in relation to the emergency

Jus cogens norms and obligations erga omnes are concepts within international law that are often used to reinforce legal claims. This thesis aims to assess to what extent invoking these concepts, along with their reinforcing capabilities, is justified in specific cases. In order to achieve this, the thesis first gives an overview of the theoretical debate surrounding the concepts of jus cogens no
Extant members of the order Carnivora split into two basal groups, Caniformia (dog-like carnivorans) and Feliformia (cat-like carnivorans). In this study we address phylogenetic relationships within Caniformia applying various methodological approaches to analyses of complete mitochondrial genomes. Pinnipeds are currently well represented with respect to mitogenomic data and here we add seven mt g
A combination of NMR chemical shift imaging and self-diffusion experiments is shown to give a detailed molecular picture of the events that occur when tablets of hydrophobically modified poly(acrylic acid) loaded with a drug (griseofulvin) swell in water in the presence or absence of surfactant (sodium octylbenzenesulfonate). The hydrophobic substituents on the polymer bind and trap the surfactant
Charge generation and recombination are studied in blend films of poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) and [6,6']phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy. We find that the charge generation yield depends upon both blend film composition and thermal annealing. The data suggest that recombination occurs over a wide range of time scales and that, in the le
Challenger branding is a phenomenon that is gaining significant exposure in academia. However, most research on this branding approach relates to a practical or technical knowledge interest, ignoring the counter-hegemonic critique that exemplifies challenger branding. The critique that these brands base their identity on often shifts after they have been acquired into a hegemonic context, by joini
Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef
Although Sweden collects and sorts a large share of plastic waste, a significant part of the separately collected plastic packaging waste is being incinerated and only 8 % of the plastic waste is being recycled into new products. As plastic is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions from waste incineration, a systematic shift is needed to decrease incineration. Currently, Chemical recycling (CR
This study develops a theory for the formation of Radical Right Populist (RRP) identities based on the theory of Social Constructivism. The identity construction theory thus proposes that three components must exist in order for RRP identities to be formed. Here, RRP identities are formed during the simultaneous actions of a top ? down and a bottom ? up process of identity formation, and once a RR
Co-citation analysis has been widely accepted as the foremost method for bibliometric mapping of research fields, whereas analyses based on keywords has been discussed, without gaining any overall acceptance. There is, however advantages with keywords, such as being understandable by others than those immediately connected to the field analyzed. This study aims at testing the relation between keyw
Bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells differentiate into all different types of lymphoid populations, there among mature naive B cells expressing IgM and IgD. During the maturation, the B cells are subjected to several steps of selection to ensure proper development of the antigen receptor. The mechanisms regulating the selection are to great extent unknown. In paper I of this thesis, we d
This study is an extension of previous studies, Hagnell (1991) and Hagnell(1996), where the data used are annual time series for the whole of Sweden during the period 1751-1850 for the crude birth rate, the death rate for ages 20-50 years, the crude marriage rate and an index of the real wages. The aim of the study of Hagnell (1991) was to investigate the relationships between ferility, adult mort
This paper describes the research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. This research was undertaken in an aerospace company, which designs and manufactures aero engines and also offers contracts, under which it remains responsible for
