Objectives: To examine potential sex differences in longitudinal cognitive and activities of daily living (ADL) performance and life expectancy between early- and late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study is a prospective, observational, multicentre study that was used in a routine clinical setting including 1,017 patients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate A
Background: Caldicellulosiruptor kronotskyensis has gained interest for its ability to grow on various lignocellulosic biomass. The aim of this study was to investigate the growth profles of C. kronotskyensis in the presence of mixtures of glucose–xylose. Recently, we characterized a diauxic-like pattern for C. saccharolyticus on lignocellulosic sugar mixtures. In this study, we aimed to investiga
Biological nutrient removal processes for municipal wastewaters have received quite some attention during the past decades, especially due to the introduction of stricter legislation with respect to allowable effluent pollutant discharge limits. The necessity for performance improvement of existing activated sludge wastewater treatment plants (ASWWTPs) has created a need for detailed process model
As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. The development of climate m
I Sverige finns det lagregler som begränsar den absoluta testationsfriheten. En av dessa kallas laglotten och regleras i ärvdabalkens sjunde kapitel. Dessa regler har i stort sett varit oförändrade sedan 1850-talet. Laglottssystemet innebär att hälften av allas egendom är reserverad dennes bröstarvingar, i princip utan undantag, om de så kräver det genom jämkning av testamente. På 1990-talet inkorIn Sweden there are rules of law limiting the absolute testamentary freedom. One of these is forced heirship which is regulated by law. These rules have practically been unchanged since the 1850s. The part of the inheritance reserved for next-of-kin through forced heirship is composed of half of the estate. There are practically no exceptions to this rule, but the next-of-kin who wishes his inheri
Syftet med uppsatsen är undersöka i vilken mån och på vilket vis Europakonventionen omfattar företeelserna abort och dödshjälp. Den argumentation Europadomstolen för vid sitt beslutsfattande granskas i arbetet. Ett rättsfilosofiskt perspektiv präglar uppsatsen och Europadomstolens diskussion om de två olika livsavslutande processerna analyseras utifrån dess förenlighet med olika moralfilosofiska tThe purpose of this essay is to examine to what extent and in which way the European Convention on Human Rights comprises the phenomena of abortion and assisted dying. The argument held by the European Court of Human Rights during its decision-making process is being inspected in the essay. A legal philosophical perspective characterizes the essay and the discussion of the European Court of Human

The reactor containment is one of the most important buildings at a nuclear power plant. In case of an accident the containment wall is the final protection against radioactive leakage to the surrounding environment. A reactor containment contains different types of concrete structures. They can be grouped as external structures constituting a barrier between the inside of the containment and the
In the US and most European countries, testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in young men aged 20-40 years. Since the introduction of cisplatin-based treatment in the 1970s, more than 95% of the patients are cured. The increasing incidence of testicular cancer and high survival rates, has led to a growing number of testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). As they have a long life expectancy i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Känselinformation (sensorisk information) från nacken har stor betydelse för rumsorienteringen. För att kunna detektera kroppsrörelser korrekt och därigenom bibehålla balansen krävs ett samspel mellan nackens sensoriska information tillsammans med kroppens övriga led- och muskelsinnen (proprioceptionen), balansapparaterna i inneröronen (vestibularisorganen), synen samt The overall aim of the work was to examine the influence of cervical biomechanical conditions on movement performance, to study musculoskeletal findings accompanying possible cervicogenic dizziness and to evaluate the influence of cervical proprioception on head orientation. Two devices, measuring cervical range of motion, were compared: Myrin, an inclinometer/compass method and Zebris®, a 3-dime
Differences between ages, sexes and populations in the timing of migration at Falsterbo, Sweden and in the choice of wintering site among raptors in Scania were investigated. Competition and dominance is the best primary explanation to the results. In most cases the more competitive adults winter north of juveniles and the larger females north of males. Moult strategy is probably one of the most i
The gene fusion technique is widely used in protein engineering and in this thesis it constitutes the basis of both the construction of artificial bifunctional enzymes and the display of two novel peptides. Artificial bifunctional enzymes have been used as model systems in the studies of native multifunctional enzymes and proximity effects within these complexes. Two various constructs are descri
A strain of an alkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus halodurans was isolated from a water sample in Lake Shalla, a soda lake in the Ethiopian Rift Valley. From the culture of this isolate, B. halodurans S7, a xylanase which is active in a wide range of pH, with an optimum at about 9-9.5 was purified. When assayed at pH 10, the enzyme was optimally active at 70 ?C. The xylanase was free from any associat
Background: We have previously demonstrated that elevated concentrations of tumour-associated trypsin inhibitor (TATI) in both tumour tissue (t-TATI) and in serum (s-TATI) are associated with a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer patients. It was also found that s-TATI concentrations were lower in patients with rectal cancer compared to patients with colon cancer. In this study, we investigated th
Popular Abstract in Swedish När det blir stopp i ett av hjärtats kranskärl blockeras blodflödet till hjärtat, vilket kan orsaka blodbrist i en del av hjärtmuskeln. Detta kan i sin tur leda till hjärtinfarkt, vilket tar död på hjärtmuskelceller och skadar hjärtat. Vid den efterföljande behandlingen av hjärtinfarkt kan små proppar i kranskärlen, så kallade mikroembolier, ytterligare förvärra skadan Myocardial infarction (MI) following an acute coronary occlusion is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. During revascularization, microemboli may complicate treatment and affect cardiac function. The long-term effects of microembolization are not fully elucidated. Following an MI it is important to accurately determine the size of the infarction, as it can be used for guidance in terms of
