As our knowledge of diseases and the development of new technologies increases,many health problems that were lethal in the past can now be cured. Couple thisto better life quality and improved medical care, we are seeing an increase in theaverage life expectancy. The downside to this, however, is that diseases that developwith age are becoming more common. There is currently an estimated 47 milliCerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia. In this work, we mainly studied the in vitro Abet

Society's view of social services has deteriorated with the cause of disinformation and violence from clients on social media. Previous research shows that it has become increasingly common for social workers and their relatives to be exposed to threats and abuse online. Therefore, this study aims to investigate social workers' experiences and attitudes towards being mentioned on social me

Public diplomacy, public relations, propaganda, and strategic narratives are all under the ‘umbrella’ of soft-power and nowadays’ international relations. Strategic narratives currently represent one of the most essential tools that political actors use to increase their influence on local and foreign audiences, gain public support, and lastly achieve their foreign policy objectives. This disser

This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between two buildings situated at Universitetsholmen in Malmö: Tornhuset (1910) and its modern extension Urban Hinges (2015). Together, the two buildings form World Maritime University. The modern extension has received a great deal of attention, both positive and negative, in traditional as well as in social media. Several statements suggest that vi

Sveriges framtida elsystem står inför en stor omställning, där kärnkraft successivt kommer att fasas ut, samtidigt som det sker en stor utbyggnad av vindkraft. Vindkraftens sjunkande priser, tillsammans med Sveriges mål om ett 100 % förnybart elsystem år 2040, gör det till en attraktiv resurs. En omställning från en leveranstrygg elproduktion baserad på kärnkraft, till en mer variabel med vindkrafSweden's future electricity system is facing a transformation, where nuclear power will gradually be phased out, while there is a large expansion of wind power. The declining wind power prices, together with Sweden's goal of a 100% renewable electricity system in 2040, makes it an attractive resource. However, a change from a secure supply of energy from nuclear production, to a more varia

The Swedish crime genre is experiencing an intense period of change at the moment. Crime writers appear to be at the forefront when it comes to the issue of how to reach international audiences, how to promote books and author’s brands through events, and how to create a successful life as a writer. The working conditions, as well as the content of what is sold and marketed to the readers have gon

PurposeThis study investigates the anchoring effect in property valuation among students from different educational backgrounds, aiming to determine whether an engineering education mitigates cognitive bias compared to a social science education.Design/methodology/approachAn experimental design was implemented during the final examinations in property valuation courses at two Swedish universities.

From the perspective of the Swedish education system, rural knowledge does not seem to be particularly important. Many young people in rural areas have deep and important knowledge that is invisible in school and during school time, both to teachers and to the young people themselves.

BackgroundSexual violence is widespread in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including in the North Kivu province. Moreover, in this region survivors of sexual violence often have limited access to care and encounter a variety of barriers when seeking care and support. The aim of this study was to explore community perceptions about access to care, barriers, enablers and p

This paper is a condensed version of a presentation held for the Advocacy and Outreach Section of the UNISDR on the 15th of November 2013. It draws upon findings and recommendations stemming from two master’s theses conducted at Lund University Centre for Risk Assessment and Management, LUCRAM (Karlsson & Nielsen, 2012; Lundby & Sjöberg, 2013). The presenter and author of the paper is a Ph

Recreational hunting in Sweden can be depicted as being embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and socio-economic contexts. One is the traditional stewardship-oriented form of hunting, in Swedish called ‘allmoge’ hunting. Another form is the commercial form of hunting, where hunting is packaged and offered to visitors, quite often with different types of services included. These two fo

What is sex work? I have decided to start this short contribution with a question, which I think the reader should answer before continuing. So what is sex work? Is it a legitimate form of work or is it a job whose only characteristics are exploitation, harassment, and coercion? Also, can a person (woman or man) freely decide to be a sex worker or is it impossible to engage in such profession with

A team of clinical researchers at Lund University found that electromagnetic radiation, such as that used in GSM-900 mobile telephones, at low non-thermal power values (<2 W/kg), causes users' blood albumin to leak through the blood-brain barrier "BBB" into in the brain tissue.
