Chronic pancreatitis is a common disorder of which the underlying pathogenic mechanisms still are incompletely understood. In the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that activated pancreatic stellate cells play a key role in the fibrosis development associated with chronic pancreatitis as well as pancreatic cancer. During pancreatic injury or inflammation, quiescent stellate cells undergo
Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein found mainly in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Its function is yet to be defined. ApoM (25 kDa) has a typical lipocalin beta-barrel fold and a hydrophobic pocket. Retinoids bind apoM but with low affinity and may not be the natural ligands. ApoM retains its signal peptide, which serves as a hydrophobic anchor to the lipoproteins. This prevents ap
Context: Effect of GH therapy in short non GH deficient children, especially idiopathic short stature (ISS) has not been clearly established owing to lack of controlled trials until final height (FH). Objective: To investigate the effect of two GH doses compared with untreated controls on growth to FH in short children mainly with ISS. Design and Setting: A randomized, controlled, long-term multic
Detta är det första av tre inlägg för att ge perspektiv på IKT i matematik- undervisningen. Bakgrunden till inlägget är en nyligen släppt rapport från Skolverket, som visar att användningen av IKT är i stort sett lika låg i flera ämnen, som den var för tre år sedan. Det är, enligt rapporten, fortfarande ovanligt att eleverna använder datorer på lektioner i matematik. Det finns inte heller någon ty

The social consequences of agrarian change have been widely debated. The traditional view of the lower classes becoming increasingly vulnerable due to the loss of access to resources has been met with the revisionist view that this change was counteracted by an increase in the volume and regularity of employment due to investments and new farming practices. This article address this issue by study
Advanced fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) is often progressive and associated with a high burden of symptoms and poor prognosis. Little is known about the symptom prevalence and access to palliative care services at end of life (EOL).
Under det senaste decenniet har världen blivit varse om fenomenet ”incels”. Incels har uppbå-dat stor medial uppmärksamhet till följd av två massmord utförda av män som identifierade sig som incels, vilket har föranlett att en relativt endimensionell bild av incels har fått fäste: incels beskrivs som arga och farliga män som hatar kvinnor för att de förnekas sex. Hur väl stämmer dessa beskrivninga
Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a
Light dark matter is a hypothesized form of dark matter in the 1 MeV to 1 GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of light dark matter, by colliding an electron beam with a tungsten target and assembling a set of events that potentially indicate the existence of light dark matter. The three main detector components of the LDMX are a s
Authors: Anselm Ahlström and Josefin Jervelycke Title: The Treasure at the End of the Rainbow - About Trans People’s Experiences of Belongingness and Otherness in the Lgbtq-community. Supervisor: Kristina Göransson Assessor: Norma Montesino The aim of this study was to explore trans people's involvement in the lgbtq-community in order to create a deeper understanding of the processes that cr
Rebuilding the civil defence has become an important question in recent years. Being a key component, the tasks of fire service may need to be revised to correspond to the current threat. The fire service has an extended area of responsibility when there is a heightened state of alert, according to the Swedish Civil Protection Act. This extended area of responsibility comes with new tasks for the
Research has shown that the heterogeneity of entrepreneurial teams, in terms of educational background, has a positive impact on venture performance as a result of the access to diverse skill sets and perspectives. However, the heterogeneity of the team can also lead to communication inefficiencies due to the diverse viewpoints and cognitive differences. Forewarning methods, understood as the prep
An urban nature experience – an urban park where people can experience and improve the relationship between human and nature. This is an exhibition of nature in an urban environment. Here you can experience the nature with all of your senses; sight, smell, touch, sound and taste. Research has shown that the more people are exposed to nature, the more they appreciate it, and the more environmental
Bakgrund: Varje år dör 150 personer av livmoderhalscancer i Sverige. En av de vanligaste behandlingarna vid livmoderhalscancer är en operation där delar eller hela livmodern tas bort, en så kallad hysterektomi. Syfte: Att undersöka hur kvinnor med livmoderhalscancer värderar sin sexuella hälsa efter en hysterektomi. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie med en kvalitativ ansats genomfördes o
