Blood biomarkers have the potential to revolutionize Alzheimer's disease diagnosis, offering advantages over CSF and PET due to their accessibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness. This study evaluated the effectiveness of individual plasma biomarkers, such as phosphorylated Tau (pTau) 217, as well as biomarker combinations, with a focus on the pTau 217/β-Amyloid (Aβ) 1–42 ratio to predict amy

Green packaging development (GPD) involves the process of developing packaging with minimized environmental impact. Over the last decade, the GPD perspective has evolved from a traditionally packaging material-focused one to a holistic one. A holistic perspective on GPD means that the different environmental requirements on packaging have to be combined so that the overall environmental impact of
The study aims to clarify and examine signs of interdiscursivity between Swedish municipal press releases and three other types of texts that relate to the press releases: informative texts, marketing texts and journalistic texts. Based on results from text analysis, emerging linguistic patterns are investigated. I discuss whether these patterns can be interpreted as discourse conventions, and whe
Europeiska Unionens system för handel med utsläppsrätter, EU ETS, syftar till att på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt reducera mängden växthusgaser som släpps ut av industriella verksamheter runt om i unionen. Interaktioner med andra styrmedel befaras kunna minska systemets effektivitet, därför har unionen försökt undvika sådana. Trots detta har svenska myndigheter ansett sig både berättigade och motiveThe European Union Emissions Trading System, the EU ETS, is designed to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted by industrial activity across the union in a cost-efficient way. Interactions with other governance instruments could potentially reduce the efficiency of the system. For this reason, the union has tried to avoid these types of interactions. Despite this, Swedish authorities has co

Många receptbelagda läkemedel som lindrar smärta förändrar samtidigt vårt beteende, till exempel vår förmåga att fatta beslut. De kan dessutom också orsaka slöhet och onormal koordination.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kostfiber visar på gynnsamma effekter på blodsockersvar, inflammationsmarkörer och blodfetter utifrån tre humanstudier som genomfördes i detta arbete. I en av studierna analyserades blod och urin med metabolomik. Det är en metod där man analyserar alla små molekyler (metaboliter) som finns i provet med hjälp av vätskekromatografi kopplat till masspektrometri. Med hjälp It is well-known that dietary fibre can have a positive effect on the development of lifestyle-dependent diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. However, the effect may be different for different kinds of fibre and different sub-populations at risk. Therefore, the effects of three different kinds of fibre on postprandial and long-term response in healthy subjects were investig
This thesis examines the creative appropriation of Shakespeare in theory and practice. It is based on close readings of King Lear alongside three appropriations of the play in works of fiction by three North American women writers: Jane Smiley, Anne Tyler, and Margaret Atwood. The aim is to demonstrate how a ‘palimpsestic’ reading, i.e. a reading in which the reader oscillates between ‘pre-text’ a
In Psalms evil is usually existential and victim-orientated. Suffering is not a theoretical problem but an experienced reality. Consequently, two aspects of the modern so-called theodicy problem are in focus. (1) The role of the God of the petitioner: How does God engage with evil? What does God do to overcome it? Beside this practical aspect we can detect a more theoretical question: (2) Is suffe
Popular Abstract in Swedish Östersjön är idag ett av världens största innanhav med endast marginellt utbyte av vatten med Kattegatt via Öresund samt Lilla och Stora Bält. Saltrika inflöden från Kattegatt orsakar två salthaltsgradienter, en horisontell med mer saltrikt vatten i sydväst och mer färskt i Bottenhavet, samt en vertikal saltgradient (haloklin) med mer saltrikt bottenvatten och mer färskThe Baltic Sea is one of the world’s largest brackish water environments and is today suffering from, for example, eutrophication, spreading hypoxia, accumulations of contaminants and invasive organisms. These problems exist due to a combination of natural features that makes the Baltic Sea a sensitive ecosystem (such as long water residence time, limited water exchange, large catchment area), and
Objectives: To examine the relationship between the English index of multiple deprivation (IMD) and the incidence of pre-eclampsia (PE), evaluate the distribution of IMD in a cohort of ethnically diverse pregnant women in South East England and assess whether IMD improves the prediction of PE compared with that provided by the ‘history-only’ competing-risks model (based on maternal characteristics
