PURPOSE: To examine the effects of focal laser photocoagulation on general and local retinal function and to relate electrophysiological findings with changes in protein kinase C (PKC) alpha expression. METHODS: Twelve rabbits were treated with 70 spots of laser photocoagulation in the central cone-rich retina. The operated eyes were investigated with electroretinography (full-field ERG and multif
Katekeser är en genre som vanligtvis förknippas med lutheransk religionsundervisning, och inte revolutioner. Dess form, att ställa en antal givna frågor och ge ett definitivt svar för varje fråga synes lämna föga utrymme för självständigt och kritiskt tänkande. Frågandet som teknik är en retorik; syftet är att styra läsarens tänkande i avsedd riktning. Inpräntande av normer, inte radikala reflekti
Risk factors for suicidal behaviour include adverse life events as well as biochemical parameters acting, e.g. within the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and/or monoaminergic systems. The aim of the present investigation was to study stressful life events and biological stress markers among former psychiatric inpatients, who were followed up 12 years after an index suicide attempt. At the time
PURPOSE: To investigate retinal function after reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) by filtration surgery in patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. METHODS: Eleven patients (11 eyes) with medically uncontrolled glaucoma underwent trabeculectomy. Clinical investigation, visual field (testing with standard automated perimetry (SAP-Humphrey), optical coherence tomography (OCT), full-field
During the 16th century, and thus late in a european perspective, the Scandinavian language usage went from normally giving dates according to the church year calendar (each day having a name of its own, mostly referring to a saint) to normally giving them according to our modern calendar (numbering the days within each named month). The present investigation shows how this transition more exactly
In this thesis I suggest a definition on what right-wing populism is by comparing three right-wing populist parties; the Swedish Democrats (SD) in Sweden, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in Great Britain and the Alternative for Germany (AFD) in Germany. This is my question formulation. I have used the idea analysis to make the concept of right-wing populism more understandable. The ob
I oktober i år gav The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ut en speciell rapport om konsekvenserna av den globala uppvärmningen vid en temperaturökning på 1,5° C. Vid uppgörelsen av Parisavtalet 2015 träffades den största samlingen av beslutfattare i en klimatkonferens någonsin. Det senaste klimatmötet i Katowice var en uppföljning av hur Parisavtalet ska genomföras och de enades om en rege
Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol
A lattice model for fibril formation on the basis of general peptide interactions is presented. Fibrils are well-structured protein aggregates and a key phenomenon in many diseases, among them Alzheimer. We study the model’s equilibrium and kinetic properties using Wang-Landau sampling and a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm with cluster moves. The peptides are shown to form ordered fibrilar aggreg
The purpose of the study is to examine how companies are applying employer branding in social media and how these activities affect potential employees’ engagement. Engagement on social media has been analyzed according to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions using a mixed method content analysis.

In ADB Safegate's airfield lighting product portfolio, two sizes of LED inset luminaires consist of similar internal components with different design. This project has investigated the possibilities to find generic design solutions for the internal components to fit both product sizes. By using modularized components the company will decrease the indirect costs of the product, for instance cos

This thesis presents results from a study of socioeconomic and climate effects connected to a sugarcane ethanol expansion scenario in the Pontal do Paranapanema region, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Sugarcane ethanol prodcution is expected to grow in the Sao Paulo state. Pontal do Paranapanema is the only region in the state where a large scale sugarcane expansion can take placré and this expansion wil
The purpose of the thesis is to explore and understand the meaning, sources, and role of brands’ perceived innovativeness to talents due to the proposed importance of the attribute within the so-called war for talents as well as contemporary theoretical and practical discourse. In accordance with the relativistic and interpretivist stance taken, a qualitative methodology is adapted through the uti
According to estimates advanced by the United Nations, the annual SDG funding gap amounts to $2.5 trillion. The covid-19 pandemic further exacerbated the underlying issues as the global recession led to an unprecedented rise in public debts and economic distress triggered by defaults, capital flights and fiscal austerity. In light of these challenges, the Global Investors for Sustainable Developme

Bakgrund: Prevalensen av kvinnor i fertil ålder som genomgått en viktreducerande kirurgisk behandling ökar fortlöpande. Trots många fördelar med viktreducerande kirurgisk behandling så finns det fortfarande begränsad forskning gällande vård för gravida kvinnor som genomgått behandlingen i relation till optimalt kalori-, proteinintag, kost och viktökning för bästa möjliga utfall för mor och barn.
