Följande paper-presentation behandlar aspekter av ett doktorandprojekt i startgroparna. Hannes Wikströms musikpedagogiska studie faller under kategorin praktiknära forskning, i och med dess ambition att bidra till att stärka band och kontaktytor mellan forskningsmiljö och Kulturskolans pedagogiska praktik, samt dess vilja att låta skolpersonalens och elevernas röster, behov och frågeställningar tj
Transient cerebral ischemia in normoglycemic animals is followed by a decrease in glucose utilization, reflecting a postischemic cerebral metabolic depression and a reduction in the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Preischemic hyperglycemia, which aggravates ischemic brain damage and invariably causes seizure, is known to further reduce cerebral metabolic rate. To investigate
Digital image correlation (DIC) can measure full-field surface strains during mechanical testing of hard and soft tissues. When compared to traditional methods, such as strain gauges, DIC offers larger validation data (similar to 50,000 points) for, e.g., finite element models. Our main aim was to evaluate the repeatability of surface strain measurements with DIC during compressive testing of comp
Over the past 20 years, the incidence of cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) has increased dramatically worldwide. A positive family history of the disease is among the most established risk factors for CMM; it is estimated that 10% of CMM cases result from an inherited predisposition. Although mutations in two genes, CDKN2A and CDK4, have been shown to confer an increased risk of CMM, they account
Aqueous di persions of a porcine lung surfactant (PLS) extract with and without cholesterol supplementation were analyzed by X-ray scattering. Lamellar liquid-crystalline and gel-type bilayer phases are formed, as in pure phosphatidylcholine (PC)-cholesterol systems. This PLS extract, developed for clinical applications, has a cholesterol content of less than 1% (w/w). Above the limit of swelling,
Background: People with hemophilia (PwH) or von Willebrand disease (VWD) are at risk of joint bleeding, which can lead to hemophilic arthropathy. Point-of-care musculoskeletal ultrasound (POC-MSKUS) is increasingly used to detect joint bleeds, but a comprehensive compilation of available independent scanning protocols and their respective measurement properties is missing. Objectives: This study a
Objective: Survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS describes the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors including overweight or obesity, hypertension, (pre)diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. While associated cardiovascular sequelae can be serious, MetS is preventable, manageable, and potentially reversible with the ap
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health challenge with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in detection and treatment. Dietary polyphenols are secondary metabolites widely found in plant-derived foods and beverages, and have gained attention for their potential in CRC prevention and therapy due to their diverse biological activities. Methods This review synthesiz
Surface water pollution consists of various pollutants like heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Pb, and Ni), metalloids (Se, As, and Ag), and organic pollutants (dyes, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and phenolic compounds). The escalating issue of water pollution requires innovative solutions for mitigation and climate resilience. Although various advanced techniques are being developed for removing
The authors of this policy brief are contributors to the research project Infrastructuring Libraries in Transformation (ILIT). ILIT’s objective is to examine public libraries’ role in this era beset by social challenges such as segregation, discrimination, austerity measures, and unemployment. ILIT began conducting research in three urban communities in 2022: Malmö, Sweden; Rotterdam, the Netherla
PURPOSE: Techniques for endovascular thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke due to medium or distal vessel occlusions (MDVO) need to be improved, and first-line aspiration is emerging as a promising technique. The objective was to describe first-pass and final reperfusion rates with a triaxial direct aspiration first pass technique (ADAPT) and a novel, quadriaxial technique (QUATTRO-ADAPT) using RE
The demand for more water in the southwestern parts of the United States of America is growing due to an increasing population, while climate conditions are becoming more unfavorable with higher temperatures and less precipitation. This study explores current culinary and secondary water consumptions used for irrigation purposes in the Daybreak neighborhood, located in South Jordan, Utah. Addition
Title: Hedging with Heritage: Investigating the risk-mitigating role of Corporate Brand Heritage Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate brand heritage and their stock price volatility. Methodology: A quantitative approach is employed, using researcher-assigned formative indicators to quantify corporate brand herit
