3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object discovered to date, following 1I/‘Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Its unusually high excess velocity and active cometary nature make it a key probe of the Galactic population of icy planetesimals. Understanding its origin requires its past trajectory through the Galaxy to be traced and the possible role of stellar encounters to be assessed, both as a potential or
While general trends in Central European postglacial recolonisation dynamics are relatively well known, we often lack studies on intermediate (meta-population, landscape) scales. Such studies are needed to increase our understanding of, for example, the location of refugia; emergence of endemism, rates and trajectories of postglacial migrations; and anthropogenic landscape changes. Here, we focuse
The protein homeostasis network ensures a proper balance between synthesis, folding, and degradation of all cellular proteins. DnaK and trigger factor (TF) are ubiquitous bacterial molecular chaperones that assist in protein folding, as well as preventing protein misfolding and aggregation. In Escherichia coli, DnaK and TF possess partially overlapping functions. Their combined depletion results i
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted production and consumption patterns across the world and forced many organisations to respond. However, there is a lack of understanding as to how sharing platforms have been affected by the pandemic, how they responded to the crisis, and what kinds of long-term implications the pandemic may have on the sharing economy. This study combined systematic literature r
The University of Vermont College of Medicine, in collaboration with the NHLBI, Alpha-1 Foundation, American Thoracic Society, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, European Respiratory Society, International Society for Cellular Therapy, and the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, convened a workshop, "Stem Cells and Cell Therapies in Lung Biology and Lung Diseases," held July 27 to 30, 2015, at the University
Glycemic traits are used to diagnose and monitor type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic health. To date, most genetic studies of glycemic traits have focused on individuals of European ancestry. Here we aggregated genome-wide association studies comprising up to 281,416 individuals without diabetes (30% non-European ancestry) for whom fasting glucose, 2-h glucose after an oral glucose challenge, glyc
Background: Elevated cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of total tau (T-tau) and phosphorylated tau at Thr181 (P-tau181) protein are typical of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the T-tau assay measures only the mid-region of the protein, while tau in CSF is instead composed of a series of fragments. One fragment species in particular, N-224, shows increased levels in AD compared to control
The early cancer studies on immigrants, which started to appear some 50 years ago, showed that the incidence in cancers changes to the level of the new host country in one or two generations. These findings were fundamental to the understanding of the environmental etiology of human cancer. Many immigrant groups originate from countries with no cancer registration, and, hence, the immigrant studie
Background:The research of social science tends in many cases lean towards an approach that focus on negatively influencing factors, rather than health promoting factors from a salutogenic perspective. In the field of criminology, this approach commonly investigates reasons behind criminal behavior instead of studying the salutogenic factors, i.e. reasons why people do not engage in a criminal lif

Vacation or staycation? Seasonal migration is common practice among many different species, including many birds. Birds living in cold climates, such as Scandinavia, experience food shortage during the winter months. Thus, many chose to vacation abroad where the climate is warmer and food is plentiful. However, not all bids in a population make the move – some stay put. This is known as partial

The dominance of men in politics has been a long standing trend, with women historically underrepresented in this sphere. Efforts toward women's inclusion in politics seek to address and rectify this gender imbalance, advocating for greater representation, equal opportunities, and the dismantling of barriers that have hindered women's active participation in political decision-making proce
Syfte. I nuläget används narrativ bedömning begränsat i klinik. Syftet med uppsatsen var att bidra till att öka möjligheten till klinisk användning av Internal State Terms (IST) i språklig bedömning av narrativ förmåga. Syftet var också att bidra till tydliggörande av definitioner för de olika kategorierna av IST. Detta undersöktes genom att studera användningen av IST hos barn i förskoleåldern, sPurpose. The use of narrative assessment in clinical practice is limited. The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to the feasibility of using Internal State Terms (IST) when assessing narrative ability. In addition, we hoped to contribute to clearer definitions of the different categories of IST. Number of IST and types of IST used by preschool children were studied. The hypotheses were that

The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad. The study is a replication of the previous study Advertising “like a girl”: Toward a better understanding of “femvertising” and its effects presented by Åkestam, Rosengren and Dahlé
Cities are experiencing substantial population growth, they generate about 80 percent of global GDP and they are in power of local legislation. This makes them crucial actors in facing sustainability challenges. A framework that allows for a holistic approach to sustainability is the triple bottom line, which advocates for joint consideration of social,economic, and environmental development. In p
Varumärken är värdefulla tillgångar som kan generera stora ekonomiska vinster. Till följd av det värde färgvarumärken kan erhålla finns ett behov av att kunna registrera färgmärken för att erhålla skydd mot eventuella konkurrenter. Det står förvisso klart att abstrakta färger kan registreras och varumärkesskyddas, men registrering är inte oproblematisk och färger saknar ofta förutsättningar för atIt is now possible to register and protect abstract colours, but such registrations are not without its complications and the conditions for registration often fall short of requirements. There is an even greater uncertainty surrounding the protection that may follow from registration, which to a large extent is the result of too few precedents in the area. The purpose of this thesis is to describ
