In order to support the development of optimal housing options for older people, we need to increase our understanding of relations between aspects of housing and aspects of health in old and very old age. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to explore whether and how aspects of housing are related to life satisfaction and perceived health among very old, single-living Swedish people.

Popular Abstract in DanishLivsbaner gennem et felt viser hvorledes eliteidrætsudøvere klarer sig i samfundet efter livet i sporten. Spørgsmålet er om erhvervelse af fysisk sportskapital i sportsfeltet, medieret gennem berømmelse, medvirker til at opnå et arbejde eller en bestemt placering i samfundet. Sportskapital bidrager måske til social mobilitet. Dette er belyst gennem konkrete undersøgelser The thesis deals with a theoretical outline of the theory of reconversions in the light of the social space, with an analysis of top level athletes' mobility and strategies of reconversions in their trajectories through the relative autonomous field of sports. Some disciplines in this field have much autonomy, others less, and are positioned according to a state of distribution of the specific cap

Helicobacter pylori exists in two different morphological forms, spiral and coccoid. This study demonstrated that both forms can infect BALB/c A mice. The animals were inoculated orally three times at 2-day intervals with 10(8) cfu of both spiral and coccoid forms of strain CCUG 17874 (NCTC 11637), strain 25 and strain 553/93. Infection was followed over a 30-week period by histological scoring of

Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a pathogen that causes severe local and life-threatening invasive diseases, which are associated with high mortality rates. Pneumococci have evolved several strategies to evade the host immune system, including complement to disseminate and to survive in various host niches. Thus, pneumococci bind complement inhibitors such as C4b-binding protein (C4BP) a

The theme of this monograph of Informing Science is a dialectic we perceive to exist between meaningful use and reflection upon use. This dialectic between use and reflection on use (or thinking, and thinking about thinking) may be considered in the following way. Each of these elements is subject to change. As reflection triggers change in use, and such change triggers further reflection, a spira

Components derived from cartilage have been suggested to maintain the inflammation in joints in arthritis. Small leucine-rich repeat proteins (SLRPs) are structural components of cartilage important in organizing the meshwork of extracellular matrix components. It has recently been shown that the SLRP fibromodulin interacts with complement initiator C1q, leading to complement activation. The compl

Plasmider är korta cirkulära DNA-molekyler, som kan hittas i de flesta bakterier. Detta projekt handlar om att skapa och testa ett nytt sätt att identifiera plasmider, samt specifika gener på dessa. Principen bygger på att kombinera en tidigare metod kallad “Competitive binding-based optical DNA mapping”, och infärgning av en längre DNA-sekvens med fluoroscerande (självlysande) molekyler, för att Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify

Emma Holmberg Svensk miljöpolitik ur ett ekomarxistiskt perspektiv En jämförelse mellan Miljöpartiet, Feministiskt initiativ och Vänsterpartiet Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur Miljöpartiet (MP), Feministiskt initiativ (Fi) och Vänsterpartiet (V), i intervjuer samt genom formuleringar i partiprogram, förhåller sig till miljöproblem relaterade till de tre ekomarxistiska fokusområdena ”This study aims to evaluate whether or not the Swedish Left Party, the Green Party and the Feminist initiative find it possible to operate a sustainable environmental policy within a capitalist system. The methods used for this study have been a literature review of ecomarxist theories as well as a qualitative text analysis of the party programmes of the three parties. The empirical data the study

Stjärnorna på himlen syns vara små eftersom de är avlägsna objekt, solar på enorma avstånd. Den närmaste stjärnan är Alfa Centauri på ett avstånd av 4,4 ljusår, cirka 41 miljon miljoner kilometer. Solen är den enda stjärna vars yta vi kan se i detalj medan andra stjärnor är så avlägsna att de inte ens i de största teleskopen syns som mer än små ljusa prickar. De skarpaste bilder som i dag erhållContext. Intensity interferometry was invented and used by R.Hanbury Brown and R.Q.Twiss in the 1960's to measure stellar angular diameters. Its main advantage over conventional interferometry is that it enables very long baselines and is insensitive to poor seeing. However, because it requires very large light collectors, it was never pursued further. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is a

480 meter bortom Standardmodellen - FASER letar där ingen letat förut Under 2020 har ett nytt experiment börjat ta form vid Large Hadron Collider, LHC, på CERN. Projektet ska försöka fånga upp lätta, extremt svagt växelverkande partiklar som (de flesta av) dagens partikeldetektorer missar. Syftet är att hitta fysik bortom Standardmodellen samt att vidare kartlägga svårfångade neutriner. När partIn 2021, the ForwArd Search ExpeRiment (FASER) will start searching for light and weakly coupled particles 480m from the proton-proton collision point of ATLAS at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The FASER main detector will have a sub-detector, FASERν, sensitive to high-energy collider neutrinos of all flavours. This literature review of FASERν focuses on the neutrino program of FASER and apart f

In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi

Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre. De kompenserar 10 % mer än vad de släpper ut genom carbon dioxide removal (CDR), och hävdar därför att de har en "klimatCarbon offsetting through forest sequestration in the Global South has become an increasingly common way for companies to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and thereby sell products and services with net zero emissions. In Sweden, fast food company MAX Burgers AB goes even further. They offset 10 % more than what they emit through carbon dioxide removal (CDR), thus claiming to have a “climat

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change identified deforestation as the main cause of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases in developing countries and since then the mechanism on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation; and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) has been d

The objective of this research was to explore and enhance the comprehension of the methods employed in social work concerning children and youth in flight. Additionally, it investigated the key considerations in social work with children and youth in flight to Sweden, as well as the specific measures implemented in the handling process for this particular demographic. The study delved into various

Det är sommar och fåglarna flyger kvickt genom luften, lekande i de varma vindbyarna. För insekterna är detta som vanligt, en kamp mot en fientlig värld och oräkneliga varelser som vill äta dem. Myrorna skyndar sig fram över varma stenar och mellan vegetation i jakt på något som kan tas tillbaka som mat. Varje myra är förbrukningsbar, enbart kolonin spelar roll. Men trots den snålheten med energi With the rapid growth of AI and large language models, concerns about their energy consumption have become increasingly prominent. The traditional digital von Neumann architecture is ill-suited for deep neural networks, prompting the exploration of neuromorphic computational models. These models draw inspiration from nature and the brain to integrate memory and computation efficiently. This thesis

I samband med att vi människor bor allt tätare och träffas allt oftare, ökar tyvärr även spridningen av virus. Det som tidigare i historien var en epidemi, blir nu snabbt en pandemi (t.ex. coronapandemin med start 2020). Mot denna bakgrund står det klart att vårt immunförsvar spelar en avgörande roll för vår hälsa och i sin tur samhällets funktion. Vår bästa metod är som bekant att träna upp vårt Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. This way, a cell signal from the TCR to the nucleus can be initiated. Depending on the "m

Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral
