Infantile malignant osteopetrosis (IMO) is a rare, recessive disorder characterized by increased bone mass caused by dysfunctional osteoclasts. The disease is most often caused by mutations in the TCIRG1 gene encoding a subunit of the V-ATPase involved in the osteoclasts capacity to resorb bone. We previously showed that osteoclast function can be restored by lentiviral vector-mediated expression

During the Proterozoic, several mafic dykes with variable trends and mineralogies intruded the Archaean basement of Southeast Greenland. Some of the younger ENE-trending dykes are interpreted to represent a prolongation of the Mesoproterozoic Gardar Province, and have been termed Timmiarmiit dykes. Extrapolations of their trends across the inland ice sheet coincide with the northernmost so-called

Current mobility patterns mean that many trips cross one or several municipal borders. This emphasises the need to integrate land-use and transport planning at regional functional scales. However, the Swedish planning system is characterised by a ‘municipal planning monopoly’, where local governments control the formal planning instruments. The lack of formal means for regional-level planning has

This thesis explores the underlying reasons for recent protests in Peru that began after the ousting of President Pedro Castillo in December of last year. The research is an explorative case study based on the thematic analysis of news articles. By drawing on decolonial theory, social movement theorising, as well as the concepts of identity and place, it examines the context of the protests and th

Daniel Quinn is the protagonist in Paul Auster's novel City of Glass. This essay traces his development chronologically to assess his search for, need of, and eventual lack of an identity.

This study explores the application of laser-based techniques for measuring blood perfusion to predict anastomotic leaks (AL) following esophagectomy. ALs, a significant postoperative complication, are primarily associated with inadequate perfusion at the surgical site, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Techniques such as Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), Laser Speckle

The European Union’s identity as a normative power has long been examined and contested, most famously by Ian Manners' conceptualization in his 2002 work, Normative Power Europe. This study critically reassesses the EU's proposed identity through the lens of its responses to two pivotal crises: the Syrian conflict (2012-2015) and the 2016 EU-Türkiye Refugee Deal. The research interrogates

Current automated haematology systems lack the functionality of avian blood analysis using 10x magnification, which is an important feature as it allows for faster and more cost-effective blood analysis. The problem originates from the difference in red blood cell morphology in avian blood compared to mammalian blood, as the former are nucleated. The project was divided in two objectives, finding

Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ

Living and acting in collectivity has been a substantial aspect of human development. Built examples of intentional collective living complexes are found in various cultures around the globe some of which are still in use today. With the arrival of the industrial revolution and the influx of huge numbers of workers into cities, the question of collective housing gained momentum. The later quest of

The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff

Hittills har över 50 miljoner ton e-avfall genererats globalt (World Economic Forum, 2019), vilket väcker frågan om den cirkulära ekonomins roll i kampen mot klimatförändringarna (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2021). I detta examensarbete undersöks möjligheterna för Axis Communications att införa ett system i USA för att ta tillbaka produkter som tagits ur bruk och återvinna dem. Inom detta område So far, over 50 million tonnes of e-waste have been generated globally (World Economic Forum, 2019), raising the question of the role of circular economy in combating climate change (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2021). This thesis explores the opportunities for Axis Communications to introduce a take back system for recycling decommissioned products in the US. Within this scope, several areas are

Despite an increased emphasis on the role of cities in reaching the EU's ambitious climate goals, attention has been lacking paid towards climate justice on an urban level. Simultaneously, following international directives, urban adaptation plans are expected to consider climate justice in their approach and acknowledge the effects and benefits of climate action on their most exposed citizens

In 2016, a national policy package consisting of six support measures was legislated and clarified in the Swedish school law. The six support measures aim to create clarity and guidance for teachers, principals and other relevant actors to integrate newly arrived children and youth and ensure they achieve the national curriculum requirements. Recent reports state that the gap between native an

Democracy is facing mounting challenges in today’s globalised world, with rising inequalities and unsustainable practices. Yet money creation and design are kept independent of popular control despite the substantial impacts they have on the development of society and the well-being of its citizens. Some movements have challenged this demarcation and created their own currencies; complementary cur

The objective of this thesis is to understand how a retail space could facilitate a broader adoption of a novel technology. I aim to respond to the following questions, (i) ‘What characterises the practice of operating a smart technology for the home?’, (ii) ‘Which are the main barriers to reaching out to a broader range of customers, as opposed to only the technology interested customers?’, and (

Southeast Asia is the hardest-hit region worldwide regarding the frequency and severity of natural hazards, which are deemed to increase significantly in the incoming years.

Background: Cohort studies of the relationship between air pollution exposure and chronic health effects require predictions of exposure over long periods of time. Objectives: We developed a unified modeling approach for predicting fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and black carbon (as measured by light absorption coefficient) in six U.S. metropolitan regions from 1999
