Cell-based therapies are emerging as new promising treatments in stroke. However, their functional mechanism and therapeutic potential during early infarct maturation has so far received little attention. Here, we asked if cell-based delivery of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra), a known neuroprotectant in stroke, can promote neuroprotection, by modulating the detrimental inflammatory
As the population increases, so does the need for residential buildings, offices, schools and preschools. The construction industry accounts for about 20% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas emissions. While buildings become more energy-efficient the focus is shifted from the operational phase to the construction phase. The law on climate declaration is a Swedish law, which holds developers responsible for
Synnerligen grov misshandel är en brottstyp som introducerades i svensk straffrätt år 2010, detta efter att regeringen uttryckt att straffskärpningar behövdes då man inte ansåg att de utdömda straffen var proportionerliga i förhållande till brottets allvar. Flertalet fall har sedermera hamnat i HD och hovrätterna och en praxis har skapats kring vad brottet innebär. Stort fokus läggs på hänsynslöshExceptional aggravated assault is a crime which was introduced to Swedish criminal law in 2010. The reason behind this was the fact that the Swedish government believed that harsher punishments were needed due to the fact that they were not proportional in comparison to the seriousness of the crime. Regarding what is to be considered as exceptional aggravated assault, the courts tend to focus on t
Today, bioethanol is predominately produced with conventional feedstock that may not be desired for ethanol production due to their primary food and animal feed value. Therefore, lignocellulosic biomass, a relatively cheap and non-food competitive biomass has received attention. However, the complexity of lignocellulosic biomass poses challenges to developing a large-scale production process compe
Retrieving episodic memories often involves reconstructing both their semantic content and the emotional context in which they occurred. However, the neural mechanisms that differentiate these forms of reinstatement remain poorly understood. This event-related potential (ERP) study examines how semantic category and emotional valence are reinstated during memory retrieval.Seventy participants enco
Hard alumina-based coatings can be applied to cast iron brake discs using a plasma electrolytic aluminating (PEA) process to enhance wear and corrosion resistance and reduce brake particle emissions. This work was first to study the influence of friction wear on corrosion property and then investigate the influence of corrosion on brake particle emissions from cast iron discs through comparison of
Fluoride toxicity has become a significant global public health concern, with drinking water being a major source of exposure. This study aimed to determine groundwater fluoride concentration and assess its non-carcinogenic health effects on human health. A longitudinal study design was applied to select water samples in dry and wet seasons from Adama City and Wenji Gefersa town of Ethiopia. Groun
Ultrasound optical tomography enables noninvasive characterization of tissue and lesions up to 5 cm below the skin surface, by enhancing diffuse optical tomography with ultrasound focusing resolution and an increased number of measurement points. For optimal clinical imaging, it is essential to be able to reconstruct tissue optical properties in real time during in vivo measurements, and therefore
Hushållens skuldsättningsgrad i Sverige är hög både internationellt och historiskt sett och förväntas fortsätta växa under många år framöver. Hushållens höga skuldsättning gynnar den ekonomiska tillväxten i landet. Samtidigt kan det innebära en risk för den finansiella stabiliteten och för den svenska ekonomin i stort. Hög skuldsättning och stigande bostadspriser har förvärrat konjunkturnedgångar The Swedish household debts are, both internationally and historically, high and are expected to increase for many years to come. High household debt is beneficial for the economic growth in the country, but may at the same time implicate a risk to the financial stability and for the Swedish economy in general. High household debts and rising housing prices have made economic turndowns worse in se
The aim of the degree project is a pedagogical and interactive exhibition about the human digestion in the science centre Vattenhallen placed at LTH. The project is a collaboration between Vattenhallen, the department of Applied Nutrition and the School of Industrial Design. The main purpose of the exhibition is to give children and teenagers an overview of what food consists of, how and where it
The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women

Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
Sedan införandet av lagen (2010:879) om allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsaktiebolag ska kommunala bolag drivas enligt affärsmässiga principer. Dessutom ändrades reglerna i jordabalken om jämförelse av skäliga hyror enligt bruksvärdessystemet genom att de allmännyttiga bostadsbolagen inte längre är ensamt hyresnormerande. Sedan dessa lagändringar har det inte funnits något regelverk om vad de årliga Since 2011 public municipal housing companies are to be operated according to commercial principles and the comparison of reasonable rents according to the utility value system is based on collective negotiated rents. Since these legal changes, there has been no regulatory framework for what the annual rent adjustments should be based on. Previously, the public housing companies' self-cost cal
The validity of atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnoses in national registers for use as endpoints in prospective studies has not been evaluated. We studied the validity of AF diagnoses in Swedish national hospital discharge and cause of death registers and the occurrence of and risk factors for AF in a middle-aged Swedish population using these registers. Our study included the 30,447 individuals (age
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: To study the heritability and familiality of type 2 diabetes and related quantitative traits in families from the Botnia Study in Finland. METHODS: Heritability estimates for type 2 diabetes adjusted for sex, age and BMI are provided for different age groups of type 2 diabetes and for 34 clinical and metabolic traits in 5,810 individuals from 942 families using a variance compone
Purpose We investigated whether active video gaming (AVG) could bring about regular, enjoyable, physical exercise in children treated for brain tumours, what level of physical activity could be reached and if the children's physical functioning improved. Methods Thirteen children, aged 7-17 years, were randomised to either AVG or waiting-list. After 10-12 weeks they crossed-over. Weekly Internet c
BACKGROUND: Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) may display elevated plasma levels of pro-inflammatory substances. Although the underlying mechanisms are unknown, inflammation has been proposed to play a direct role in the generation of depressive symptoms. Skeletal muscle is a potent producer of cytokines, and physical exercise has been suggested to alleviate symptoms of depression. In
