The fact that Sweden has been spared from war on its soil for almost 200 years, has not stopped Swedish citizens from participating in conflicts worldwide during this period. This has been described, especially from the soldiers perspective. The contribution of Swedish physicians has not been written about to the same extent. When Mussolini's Italy in October 1935 invaded the poor and underdevelop
Recent advances in 3D bioprinting allow for generating intricate structures with dimensions relevant for human tissue, but suitable bioinks for producing translationally relevant tissue with complex geometries remain unidentified. Here, a tissue-specific hybrid bioink is described, composed of a natural polymer, alginate, reinforced with extracellular matrix derived from decellularized tissue (rEC
The field of research dealing with the integration of biomolecules with electronic elements to form functional devices is called ‘‘bioelectronics’’. Bioelectronics based on mediated electron transfer (MET) between the biological element and the electrodes are designated as “second generation” while the one based on direct electron transfer (DET) is specified as “third generation”. Implanted bioele
This dissertation aims at advancing the knowledge about the role of the labour market in the process of the technology-induced economic transformation, taking into account the variety of factors involved at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels of the economy and at different geographical scales. Empirically, the dissertation investigates the co-evolutionary dynamics of industrial restructuring and work
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vävnadsförändringar förekommer i många normala tillstånd, antingen gradvis som i åldrande eller mer drastiskt vid till exempel sårläkning, fosterutveckling och förlossning. Dessa vävnadsförändringar är viktiga, men det finns tillfällen då vävnadsförändringar är assoscierade med sjukdomar. Exempel på sådana sjukdomar är utvecklandet av cancer eller fibrotiska tillstånd sTissue remodeling is observed in several physiological conditions such as embryogenesis, senescence, wound healing and pregnancy, as well as in several pathological conditions such as fibrosis and tumorgenesis. Fibroblasts play a key role in this tissue remodeling due to their capability of altering the turnover of the extracellular matrix. During the remodeling process, the fibroblasts are believ

Under de senaste åren har lagstiftningen avseende allvarliga våldsbrott kommit att ändrats. Den 1 juli 2014 kom bestämmelsen i 3 kap. 1 § Brottsbalken (BrB) att skärpas på nytt och syftade till att fängelse på livstid i betydligt större utsträckning skulle utdömas. Lagtekniskt innebar ändringen att det i straffskalan för mord lades till att straffet för mord bör bestraffas med livstids fängelse ”oThe provision in the Swedish Penal Code Chapter 3 section 1, which regulates the penalty for murder, has been altered several times during the recent years. The latest alteration of the provision took place in July 2014 with the aim that life imprisonment should be the "average penalty". The provision was altered by adding the wording that the penalty for murder should be life imprisonme
Image-based rendering for view synthesis is a field within computer vision that has seen a growing number of research activity within the past few years, much due to deep learning techniques emerging, allowing researchers to re-format view synthesis as a learning problem. The multiplane image (MPI) is a recently proposed learning-based layered 3D representation, created from one or a few input ima

Bronchoconstriction is a hallmark in respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current therapies use bronchodilating agents in order to control the exacerbations produced by limited airflow and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from these diseases. Capsazepine, a compound derived from the active principle of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum),
Popular Abstract in Swedish Autonoma nervsystemet är den delen av nervsystemet som vi inte kan styra viljemässigt och som reglerar organismens grundläggande livsprocesser som andning, matsmältning, ämnesomsättning och blodcirkulation. Autonoma nervsystemet förser praktiskt taget alla inre organ med nerver. Det indelas i en sympatisk och en parasympatisk del med i huvudsak motsatta effekter på kropAbstract The aims of the present thesis were to examine neuropeptide Y (NPY) responses in different human and guinea pig vascular beds and in cultured human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) and to characterize, with different NPY agonists and the specific NPY Y1 receptor antagonist (BIBP3226), the NPY receptors involved. NPY-induced strong and potent contractions in human cerebral and subcutan
Multiple genetic loci confer susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancers. We have previously developed a model (BOADICEA) under which susceptibility to breast cancer is explained by mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, as well as by the joint multiplicative effects of many genes ( polygenic component). We have now updated BOADICEA using additional family data from two UK population-based studies of brea
Aim To critically review the status of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) using the best available scientific studies as there is a prevailing view that this species is globally endangered and its marine ecosystem functions compromised. Location Ogasawara (Japan), Hawaii (USA), Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Florida (USA), Tortuguero (Costa Rica). Methods We compiled seasonal nesting activity
Introduction. Up until now, only minimal research has been carried out on those female genital organs known to contribute to the normal cycle of sexual arousal and orgasm. Some findings indicated that there might be a significance of cyclic nucleotide-mediated pathways in the control of the normal function of female genital tissues. Aim. To elucidate, by means of immunohistochemistry, the distribu
Configuration management (CM) includes synchronizing and supporting developers in their common development and maintenance of a system. In order to utilize personnel regardless of their geographical location, groups of developers are now working all over the world on the development of common systems, a situation called distributed development. From different locations they may need to concurrentl
Reduced urinary bladder capacity is a clinically significant problem. The surgical methods that have been available to treat this, such as urinary diversion or surgically augmenting the bladder by incorporation of intestinal segments, all have serious drawbacks. There is a need to understand how the smooth muscle of the intestine and bladder can interact when brought into close contact surgically,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Blodtrycket bestäms av hjärtats minutvolym och det perifera kärlmotståndet. Det perifera kärlmotståndet regleras med hjälp av substanser som verkar lokalt på kärlväggen. Dessa substanser kan frisättas från nerver vid nervaktivering. De kan också vara hormoner eller andra kärlaktiva ämnen, även sådana som tillförts exogent, till exempel anestesimedel. Endotelet, som utklRegulation of blood flow involves several endogenous substances and mechanisms, and exogenous substances may also affect the blood flow. In the present thesis, human omental blood vessels were investigated in vitro concerning (i) characteristics of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptors; (ii) mediators of substance P (SP)-induced relaxation; (iii) direct and indirect (via effects on sympathetic neur
