Towards stem cell based therapies for Parkinson's disease SPOTLIGHT Towards stem cell based therapies for Parkinson’s disease Malin Parmar* ABSTRACT Treating neurodegenerative diseases with cell transplantation has been within reach since the first pioneering clinical trials in which dopamine neuron progenitors from the fetal brain were transplanted to individuals with Parkinson’s disease. However
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jäst kan antingen bryta ner socker direkt till koldioxid och vatten genom andning, eller indirekt via koldioxid och etanol, genom jäsning. Andning är en process som förbrukar syre, och sker därför endast under syrerika (aeroba) förhållanden. Jäsning kräver till skillnad från andning inte tillgång till syre, och kan därför ske under syrefattiga (anaeroba) förhållanden. Under aerobic conditions, most yeasts such as Kluyveromyces lactis, prefer the respiratory pathway and some, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae prefer less energy efficient fermentative pathway for their energy metabolism. These two metabolic strategies are also known as Crabtree negative and Crabtree positive respectively, and the evolution of the latter has lately been explained by the “make-accum
Auto-ignition with SI-compression ratio can be achieved by replacing some of the fresh charge by hot residuals. In this work an engine is run with a negative valve overlap (NVO) trapping hot residuals. By increasing the NVO, thus raising the initial charge temperature it is possible to investigate the intermediate zone between SI and HCCI as the amount of residuals is increased. Recent research ha
In 2008 the Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor, CLEP, put forward a grand policy proposition claiming that comprehensive legal, political, social and economic reforms whereby the poor are legally empowered can put an end to perpetuating poverty in developing countries. A well functioning rule of law is considered the foundation on which all institutional structures promoting economic
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is increasingly utilized across various practical domains, requiring continual development and optimization of supporting technologies. An essential aspect of this progress is the efficient testing of WPT Systems. This thesis explores optimization of the testing process using Machine Learning(ML) and data analysis, applied on historical data represented by test outcom
Pediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo
This thesis investigates the effect of visible articulatory movements on speech comprehension in L1 and L2 listeners of Swedish. Previous research found faciliatory effects on speech perception when speech was presented audiovisually in various settings and under diverse listening conditions for both L1 and L2 listeners. However, it is still not investigated thoroughly, how L2 proficiency affects
This qualitative multiple case study has identified and examined two environmental sustainability innovations and their implications on the dairy value chain by utilising an abductive research approach. For this purpose, plant-based and cellular agriculture innovations in the U.S. dairy industry served as the case objects of the study and were analysed in terms of their disruptivness. Thus, plant-
What do customers want from an energy supplier application? To meet the increasing digitalization of the society, the energy supplier Kraftringen strives to create a new application that will match the customer’s needs and Kraftringen’s vision. This thesis was performed in order to present a user interface proposal of Kraftringen’s new application, to improve the user experience. The goals include
This master’s thesis aims to support product-centered companies in their transition to a circular economy (CE) by developing a digital self-assessment and decision support tool. Circularity is a complex field that demands collaboration across multiple system levels. Although a wide range of frameworks, regulations and guidelines exist, the transition remains difficult for companies to navigate. Ex
This thesis presents a comprehensive study of performance characterization and quality control (QC) for the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) silicon strip modules, undertaken in preparation for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade. The work focuses on two aspects: test beam campaigns and thermal cycles. During the test beam campaigns at DESY in October and December 2024, unirradiate
This paper examines how semi-peripheral states navigate their position between core and periphery through the lens of World-Systems Analysis (WSA) and use of soft and hard power strategies. WSA conceptualises the global economy as divided into core countries and peripheral countries. The former controls capital and high-value production, and the latter supplies raw materials and low-wage labour. S
Med en krympande industriell arbetsstyrka och den snabba utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens, börjar många företag rikta blickarna mot intelligenta humanoida robotar för att understödja dem i deras verksamhet. Denna uppsats utforskar dagens landskap av humanoida robotar och skisserar hur Saab Naval kan påbörja processen av att integrera dem i deras skeppsvarvsproduktion. Nya framsteg och nuvWith a shrinking industrial workforce and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many companies are starting to look toward intelligent humanoid robots to aid them in their operations. This thesis explores the current landscape of industrial humanoid robots and outlines how Saab Naval can start the process of integrating them into their shipyard production. Recent advancements and curre
Människans nuvarande sätt att leva utgör ett stort hot mot mänsklighetens fortsatta existens på jorden. För att skydda de återstående ekosystemen spelar näringslivet en avgörande roll. Därmed kommer individers sätt att driva hållbarhetsutveckling inom företag att påverka hur stora klimatförändringarna blir. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan anställdas motivatThe current way of life poses a major threat to humanity's continued existence on earth. In order to protect the remaining ecosystems, business plays a crucial role. Thus, individuals' ways of driving sustainability development within companies will affect how large the climate change will be. The aim of this study is to investigate whether employees´ motivation correlates with their views
Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o
The Europeans were confronted with something new and unknown to them when they 'discovered' the Americas. Humanity today is at the verge of establishing a settlement on Mars and being confronted with something new and unknown. This raises the question of what can be learned from history. The working hypothesis of this thesis is that humanity is justifying its right to space with arguments
Research has identified the central role played by shame within a wide spectrum of public health issues including several common and serious threats to psychological and physical public health including depressions, dependency of substances, eating disorders, suicide, violence and sexual abuse. Shame has been described as “the master emotion of everyday life” but it is an emotional condition which
