Subcortical deafferentation of the hippocampal formation is known to induce profound behavioural deficits. Transplants of fetal septal or brainstem tissue are capable of restoring some aspects of normal physiological and behavioural function in subcortically deafferented (i.e. fimbria-fornix or septal lesioned) rats. Such grafts have been shown to re-establish extensive new afferent inputs to the

Municipalities are key actors in their role as planners for sustainable urban development, and also have the responsibility to transform ambitious national and global goals and visions into local practices (McCormick et al., 2013). The role of municipalities in relation to enhancing sustainable consumption patterns has been increasingly highlighted by policy-makers and in research. Creating sustai

BackgroundGlobally, the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on patients and healthcare systems. A decline in paediatric visits to healthcare settings was observed, which might have been due to lower incidence of injury and infectious illness, changes in healthcare services and parental concern. The aim of our study was to examine parental experiences of help-seeking for, and care of, a sick or inj

Buffer management for biopharmaceutical purification processes include buffer preparation, storage of buffers and restocking the buffers when needed. This is usually performed manually by the operators for small scale operations. However, buffer management can become a bottleneck when running integrated continuous purification processes for prolonged times, even at small scale. To address this iss

INTRODUCTION: We studied whether adding percent free prostate-specific antigen (%fPSA) to total PSA improves prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and fatal PCa.METHODS: 6727 men within the intervention arm of the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Trial had baseline %fPSA. Of this cohort, 475 had csPCa and 98 had fatal PCa. Cumulative incidence and Cox analyses were con

The formation conditions, structure, and properties of the recently discovered phosphide, Si12P5 (initially assigned Si7P3), have been studied using x-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, photospectrometry, and a four-point probe. The phosphide formed in amorphous Si-P alloy thin films with 30, 35 and 44 at. % P after annealing at 1000°C for 30 min. During annealing a

Global ecosystems are currently buckling under the weight of “plastics turbulence:” the condition of ubiquitous plastic entanglement within all human and non-human natural systems. This chapter argues that “global plastics governance” - the fragmented and variable political and institutional response to the plastics crisis - suffers from strategies that are doomed to fail because they miss what is

”Invasiva främmande arter” är ett uttryck som hörs allt oftare, såväl i medier som i diskussioner vid fikabordet. Vad är då en invasiv främmande art och varför väcker dessa arter så starka känslor? Varför är de ett problem? Hur blir man av med dem? Har de några positiva egenskaper? Det är några av de frågor vi tar upp i den här boken som är ett resultat av det tvärvetenskapliga forskningstemat ”Pe

Child stunting (chronic undernutrition) is a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries. In Rwanda, an estimated 33% of children are affected. This study investigated the household living conditions and the impact of gender-related decision-making on child stunting. The findings contribute to ongoing discussion on this critical public health issue. In December 2021, a populati

MAX-III is a 700 MeV storage ring for synchrotron radiation that is being built at MAX-lab. The ring will provide radiation in the UV and IR spectral regions. The ring will have a 100 MHz RF system combined with a 500 MHz passive Landau cavity. The lattice is compact, with combined function magnets. The magnets are integrated into the girder providing for ease of alignment.

Background: Understanding patients' goals and values is important to ensure goal-concordant care; however, such discussions can be challenging. Little is known about the impact of having these discussions on hospitalists. Objective: To assess the impact on hospitalists of a system that reminds them to have serious illness conversations with their patients identified with potential unmet palliative

Obesity levels in developing countries are increasing at an alarming rate, while “old” problems such as hunger and undernutrition still persist, creating a paradoxical situation of a double burden of malnutrition. Intertwined with new sustainability challenges such as climate change and land degradation, food, health and sustainability are interconnected in a complex web of relationships, spanning

Projektet handlar huvudsakligen om två saker: att utforska en ny metodologi och att applicera metoden på en aktuell samhällssituation. De metoder som vi utforskar är arkitekturteori, generativ design och mötet emellan dem. Vi ville undersöka vad som händer med en process och en design när de båda vävs samman, och genom att låta projektet varvas mellan två metoder hoppas vi kunna hitta ett nytt svaThis project is about two main things: to investigate a new methodology and to apply the method on a current situation in society. The method that we investigate is combining architectural theory and generative design. The aim has been to investigate what happens with a process and the resulting design when the two strategies are used together. By doing this we hope to find a new answer to this pr

This thesis is a discourse theoretical analysis of the European Unions foreign- and security policy. I use a discourse theoretical method inspired by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe and use their concepts of nodal points, elements, moments and chains of equivalence. In my analysis I draw upon theories in relation to different kinds of power in international relations and especially in relation t

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sjuksköterskornas erfarenhet av ensamhet hos äldre inom primärvården (vårdcentral). Studien är en empirisk studie där en kvalitativ innehållsanalys har tillämpats. Elva registrerade sjuksköterskor / distriktssköterskor rekryterades och intervjuades. Resultaten visar att sjuksköterskorna identifierade ensamhet genom subjektiva och intuitiva tolkningar. Sjuk

Denna uppsats är en teorikonsumerande fallstudie, vars syfte är att förklara orsaker till USA:s invasion av Irak 2003 utifrån två perspektiv, marxism och konstruktivism. Vår ambition är att utifrån dessa perspektiv finna förklaringar till invasionen utifrån system och statsnivå. Först presenterar vi empiri om respektive teori samt om Irakkriget, och sedan följer en analys där vi applicerar teorier

Institutet strafföreläggande införs i svensk rätt år 1948. Syftet med systemet är att effektivt kunna lagföra lindriga och enkla brott, till exempel ringa stöld och olovlig körning. Brottmålsförfarandet tillåter den misstänkte att godkänna ett av åklagaren utfärdat strafföreläggande som avser en påföljd för ett begånget brott. Om den anklagade accepterar strafföreläggandet avstår han eller hon fråThe summary imposition of a fine is introduced into Swedish law in 1948. The purpose of the system is to take legal proceedings more efficiently against minor and simple criminal cases, such as petty theft and unlawful driving. The criminal procedure allows the suspect to approve an injunction filed by the prosecutor regarding a punishment for a committed crime. If the accused accepts the injuncti

Triangulerade kategorier, och i synnerhet tensortriangulerade kategorier, uppstår inom en mängd områden inom matematiken. Därför blir de viktiga objekt som studeras i sin egen rätt. Vanligtvis är man intresserad av att klassificera olika underkategorier, särskilt tjocka eller lokaliserande underkategorier, av triangulerade kategorier. Tyvärr kan det oftast vara svårt att göra detta. Dessutom kan tWe provide an introduction to the theory of tensor triangular geometry. In particular sufficient foundations from the theory of triangulated categories are introduced so as to be able to cover the theory of geometry for essentially small tensor triangulated categories, and to cover a theory of tensor actions, with corresponding geometric notions, for rigidly compactly generated tensor triangulated
