Abul-Kasim K, Brizzi M, Petersson J. Hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign is an ominous prognostic marker despite optimal workflow. Acta Neurol Scand: DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-0404.2009.01277.x. (c) 2009 The Authors Journal compilation (c) 2009 Blackwell Munksgaard.Objectives - To evaluate the association between the hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign (HMCAS) and the functional outcome on one han
Objective: To assess whether a genetic risk score that was previously shown to be associated with myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease is also associated with markers of carotid atherosclerosis. Design: A total of 4022 middle-aged subjects from the general Swedish population were genotyped and individually assigned a genetic risk score based on 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs
Due to limited SNR the cerebral applications of the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) concept have been sparse. MRI hardware developments have resulted in improved SNR and this may justify a reassessment of IVIM imaging for non-invasive quantification of the cerebral blood volume (CBV) as a first step towards determining the optimal field strength.
Predator avoidance behaviour costs time, energy and opportunities, and prey animals need to balance these costs with the risk of predation. The necessary decisions to strike this balance are often based on information that is inherently imperfect and incomplete due to the limited sensory capabilities of prey animals. Our knowledge, however, about how prey animals solve the challenging task of rest
Real-world evaluation studies have shown that many patients with asthma remain symptomatic despite treatment with inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs). As conventional ICSs have poor access to the peripheral airways, the aim of the present paper was to study the relationship between peripheral airway inflammation and clinical control in allergic asthma. Consequently, bronchial and transbronchial biopsie
Mutation or epigenetic silencing of the transcription factor C/EBP alpha is observed in similar to 10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In both cases, a common global gene expression profile is observed, but downstream targets relevant for leukemogenesis are not known. Here, we identify Sox4 as a direct target of C/EBP alpha whereby its expression is inversely correlated with C/EBP a
This thesis investigates how the civil war in Syria and flight to Sweden has affected male Syrian refugees’ national identity. I conducted individual interviews with 10 informants, a focus group with 4 informants and participant observation at a café. In this thesis, national identity is defined as a part of an individual’s personal identity and consists of a person’s sense of belonging to a speci
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to extend the research on Instagram content. We will look at how different types of firm-generated content created by Swedish beauty retailers on Instagram is evaluated by young female Swedsih consumers in the hopes of finding which content that is perceived to be visually appealing and met with an interest. Theoretical Perspective: This study builds
Greater capital mobility and financial integration have generated greater tax avoidance and international tax competition. This has modified negatively the tax systems of countries that keep taxing corporate profits: the system is now more inefficient, might be more regressive and tax authorities have less sovereignty. This is especially relevant for developing economies, since corporate tax reven
This article aims to undertake a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of SSAB's investment in green steel production under the HYBRIT initiative, focusing on the implications of operating within the EU Emission Trade System and an illustrative scenario employing a carbon tax. The study evaluates profitability and social benefits, utilizing time series models to forecast electricity prices in di

How do low carbon transitions in developing economies differ from decarbonization of developed economies? Which specific challenges face developing economies? This thesis discusses the literature on low carbon technology transfers, climate finance and carbon lock-in in developing economies and applies these concepts to the Indian case. The carbon intensity of energy supply is analyzed using the en
This thesis investigates how Armenia’s security dependence on Russia is discursively constructed and maintained through political texts. Analyzing the 1994 and 2020 ceasefire agreements ending the first and second Karabakh war, alongside 18 official statements from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2020–2025), the study argues that these texts function not only as records of geopolitical ev
Creatine kinases are important in maintaining cellular-energy homeostasis, and neuroprotective effects have been attributed to the administration of creatine and creatine-like compounds. Herein we examine whether ablation of the cytosolic brain-type creatine kinase (B-CK) in mice has detrimental effects on brain development, physiological integrity or task performance. Mice deficient in B-CK (B-CK
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Bone remodeling is a critical process for skeletal health, and its dysregulation can lead to diseases like osteoporosis. While several Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDKs) are known to regulate bone metabolism, the function of CDK10 remains uncharacterized in this context. Human mutations in CDK10 cause the Al Kaissi syndrome, which involves severe skeletal defects, suggesting a
This chapter interrogates the widespread belief that individual purchasing choices are the main force behind sustainability transitions. This myth rests on three assumptions: that consumers drive markets while businesses and governments merely react, that individuals are defined primarily as buyers and that deliberate consumer decisions can alone create sustainable demand. The chapter shows how th
