This thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed
Public health care systems face major challenges. The burden of resource constraints and continuous demands of rationings urge decision makers in countries like Sweden, Norway and the UK to find new financial solutions. One proposal that has been put forward is co-payments. In this presentation we explore ethical problems associated with co-payments in publicly funded health care systems. The issuPublic healthcare systems face major challenges. The burden of resource con-straints and continuous demands of rationings urge decision makers in countries like Sweden, Norway and the UK to find new financial solutions. One proposal that has been put forward is co-payment, where patients are given the option to pay the public healthcare provider for additional care, or more e
A three second window has long been suggested by Pöppel (2009) and others, to guide the human perception. More recently,a three second constant has been suggested in overt human behaviour (Schleidt, 1988) as well as in mammalian species in general (Gerstner & Goldberg, 1994). It is however unclear whether this temporal window exists in other vertebrate species. This study examines the existenc
Popular science Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a versatile group of non-methane hydrocarbons (chemical compounds made of carbon and hydrogen) emitted by vegetation. The most common BVOCs from plants are some chemical compounds like isoprene, monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes. BVOCs are involved in plant growth, reproduction and defense mechanisms. Besides, BVOC play an important rol
Innovation is gospel today. This also means a surge in popularity for the agents behind innovation; innovators. But who are they, exactly? Anecdotal evidence from both recent times and historical settings tend to emphasize remarkable individuals, who more or less alone created amazing things. By utilizing the SWINNO-database of innovations, this thesis examines how empirically prevalent the narrat

Rhetoric is a teaching tradition. The rhetorical exercises in the progymnasmata are the main method in which rhetoric has been taught throughout history. These exercises are organized according to difficulty, the material covered, the rhetorical genre, the canons of rhetoric and the disposition of the speech. The main organizing principle is however the topoi for inventing the speech or text in ea
Popular science This study is about the water balance of two forest stands. The water balance here means the inflow of the water by rain and outflow by evaporation and groundwater flow. The main question of this research is how increased air temperature and change in the precipitation will affect the water balance of these forests. This has been done through a modeling program which will be descriRecent studies show that future climate change will have a major influence on the water balance of forests in which the projected increase in air temperature and variation in the precipitation around the world are expected to be among the most important drivers affecting the forest’s hydrological cycle. The objective of this study is to compare the water balance of two forests stands in two diff
Machine learning, a sub-field of artificial intelligence, is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience. Although the term was coined in 1959, machine learning builds on questions/methods that were developed earlier in linear algebra, mathematical analysis, optimization, and mathematical statistics. In this chapter we will give a brief overview of machine learni
In an effort to improve our understanding of the etiology and treatment of disorders involving symptoms of anxiety and depression, researchers have set out to identify psychological traits that may leave an individual vulnerable to experiencing intense negative emotional reactions. Included among these vulnerabilities are a person’s ability to tolerate negative emotional states (Distress Tolerance

In the global agenda for sustainable development, quality education is a defined priority. Therefore, it is significant to assess how topics of sustainable development are taught in mandatory school. The present thesis purposes to analyse the written curricula for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) of Cuba, France, and Romania – the three countries top-ranked by the United Nations in 2020
We simulate the velocities of formed Black Holes to determine the fraction of retained Black Holes in 152 Globular Clusters. The model we used for the escape velocity is from Plummer. The scenarios of the natal kick are Neutronstar like kicks and momentum conserving kicks. We also consider the binary fraction which affect the retention of Black Holes. A typical Globular Cluster retains 0 or 102 Bl
