Background: Cognitive reserve and resilience are terms used to explain interindividual variability in maintenance of cognitive health in response to adverse factors, such as brain pathology in the context of aging or neurodegenerative disorders. There is substantial interest in identifying tractable substrates of resilience to potentially leverage this phenomenon into intervention strategies. One

BACKGROUND: Though school-aged children (SAC) are at high risk of malaria, they are the ones that benefit the least from malaria prevention measures. A cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of malaria prevention education (MPE) on insecticide-treated bed net (ITN) utilization and prompt diagnosis, reported incidence and treatment (PDAT) of malaria. Qualitative ev

Monitoring natural events at ultrafast timescales is a prerequisite for our continued understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes. Due to exponential advancements in knowledge and optical technology, the field of ultrafast videography has seen a sudden uptick in activity beginning in the mid-2010s. Today, the field has matured past its infancy and is slowly becoming a standard too

Background: The complex management of health needs in multimorbid patients, alongside limited cost data, presents challenges in developing cost-effective patient-care pathways. We estimated the costs of managing 171 dyads and 969 triads in Belgium, taking into account the influence of morbidity interactions on costs. Methods: We followed a retrospective longitudinal study design, using the linked

Most companies and organizations are primarily interested in universities' educational activities and to a lesser extent in universities' research activities. Against this background, it is strange that the research on collaboration between universities and the surrounding society is primarily directed towards research collaboration between universities and companies/organizations and to a lesser

The unprecedented x-ray flux density provided by modern x-ray sources offers new spatiotemporal possibilities for x-ray imaging of fast dynamic processes. Approaches to exploit such possibilities often result in either (i) a limited number of projections or spatial information due to limited scanning speed, as in time-resolved tomography, or (ii) a limited number of time points, as in stroboscopic

The thesis describes the use of molecular motors in nanofabricated devices designed for potential applications in biosensing, computation and detection. We utilize the well-established guiding principles for controlling the motion of actin filaments propelled by myosin molecular motors, and build upon these developments in order to improve upon previously demonstrated techniques, and establish new

We recently described a method to compute accurate quantum mechanical free energies [Rod, T. H.; Ryde, U. Phys. Rev. Lett. 2005, 94, `138302]. The method, which we term quantum mechanical thermodynamic cycle perturbation (QTCP), employs a molecular mechanics force field to sample phase space and, subsequently, a thermodynamic cycle to estimate QM/MM free energy changes. Here, we discuss the method

Despite our fine-grain anatomical knowledge of the cerebellar cortex, electrophysiological studies of circuit information processing over the last fifty years have been hampered by the difficulty of reliably assigning signals to identified cell types. We approached this problem by assessing the spontaneous activity signatures of identified cerebellar cortical neurones. A range of statistics descri

Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING (SUMMARY IN SWEDISH) Jod är nödvändigt för utvecklingen och hälsan hos alla högre djur inklusive männi-ska, men det är ett relativt sällsynt grundämne. Man får i sig jod via kosten och det högsta jodinnehållet har fisk och skaldjur eftersom havssalt innehåller jod. Jod finns även i mejeriprodukter och i mindre mängder i grönsaker, men jodinnehållet i dessABSTRACT Background: Iodine is essential for development and growth as a constituent in thyroid hormones. Biological mechanisms for iodide uptake and concentration are very important, espe-cially as iodine is a relatively scarce element. Active iodide transport into thyroid fol-licular cells is mediated by the sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), powered by Na+/K+-ATPase. NIS is expressed also in extra

This thesis explores women’s access to property in Kenya. It consists of three parts. The first gives the Kenyan background, the theoretical and methodological approach. The second presents the findings in relation to the social construct of the gender and elaborates them in the contexts of women´s subsistence work, colonization and its aftermath and women´s formation of organizations. The third p

Popular Abstract in Swedish Köpenhamnsevangeliariet skrevs och illuminerades i England omkring år 1000, och intar en viktig position i konsthistorien genom sina ikonografiska likheter med det 300 år äldre Lindisfarneevangeliariet. I föreliggande avhandling behandlas handskriften i sin helhet med avseende på dess framställning och senare historia, men den huvudsakliga analysen rör bildernas stilistThe subject of this thesis is the Copenhagen Gospel Book , written and illuminated in England c 970 with additions from c 1020. The thesis is divided into three main parts focusing on different aspects of the manuscript. The first part deals with problems concerning provenance, palæography, later additions and the physical architecture of the manuscript. The author questions the opinion that the m

Popular Abstract in Swedish Fåglars flygförmåga I alla tider har vi fascinerats av fåglars förmåga att flyga, och många försök att förstå och efterlikna dem har gjorts. Kanske den förste som på allvar intresserade sig för mekanismerna bakom fåglars flykt var Leonardo da Vinci som runt år 1500 funderade på hur fåglar alstrar lyftkraft. Leonardo skissade också på 100-tals maskiner som var tänkta atI share my fascination of bird flight with many others, and here I summarise my thesis on the subject. This thesis emphasises the mechanics of bird flight by focusing on flight mechanics, wake dynamics and flight performance. Gliding flight performance of a jackdaw was measured in a wind tunnel and I conclude that the current model for predicting optimum wingspan as a function of forward gliding

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hormonerna vasopressin och oxytocin frisätts från hypofysens baklob. Hypofysen är en körtel, som är belägen på undersidan av hjärnan och utsöndrar en rad olika hormoner vilka i sin tur påverkar och reglerar aktiviteten i en mängd andra organ. Vasopressin medverkar till regleringen av vatten- och saltbalansen i kroppen, men verkar också sammandragande på icke-viljestyrdVasopressin and oxytocin seem to have pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhoea and preterm labour. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of uterine activity with different receptors mediating both stimulation and relaxation. We explored different aspects of synthesis, release and receptor pharmacology of vasopressin and oxytocin. We also tested a vasopressin and o

This thesis examines the scholarly study of Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, especially the way in which the field has been shaped by the discovery of the Winchester MS in 1934. Owing to the complex relationship between the manuscript and the printed edition of 1485, both contradictory and co-dependent, Le Morte seems to invite a number of narratives regarding its origins and originality whil

This is one of the first reference works to survey existing research on transparency and explore its meaning and significance in different areas. It provides an up-to-date account of existing work on and approaches to transparency in economic research. Contributions are authoritative, yet accessible and approach transparency from a range of discplines. In recent years, the term 'transparency' has

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sammanfattning Den här avhandlingen handlar om gränsskiktet mellan nanoteknologi och cellbiologi, om hur celler och nanostrukturer påverkar varandra, och om hur man kan använda nanopinnar för att studera celler. Å ena sidan vill man kunna mäta egenskaper hos cellerna, det vill säga låta cellerna påverka pinnarna, å andra sidan vill man kunna styra cellerna – låta pinnarThis study explores the interaction between living biological cells and semiconductor nanowires. Biological cells are highly complex and dynamic entities, every one of them with individual characteristics and a high degree of internal and external communication. They respond to and affect their external environment with a huge web of fine-tuned control systems. Traditional biochemical tools for
