Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by alpha-synuclein (α-syn) aggregations and loss of dopaminergic neurons. The cause for PD is still being researched but neuroinflammation has gained increasing awareness. Polymorphism in class II, major histocompatibility complex, transactivator (Ciita), which regulates major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) ex
This thesis stresses out brand promise as one of the main prerequisites to ensure trust in the relationships with the consumers when it is delivered in a sincere, consistent and transparent way. However, the hectic and volatile nature of social media requires agility and careful deliberation when facing crisis.
The migration of people by sea is not a new phenomenon. Since early days, people whose lives have been under threat or people in search of better living conditions often have taken this route. However, today States are trying to prevent every attempt of irregular migration as they have established policies of interception at sea. They often engage in interceptions without taking into consideration
We present the hard X-ray generation of K α lines in high-Z elements – platinum and tungsten – targets using the kHz repetition rate TW-class 850 nm, 10 fs laser pulses. The estimated Pt and W Kα1 X-ray photon flux from the rec
Reciprocal ST depression, PR depression in the chest leads and terminal QRS distortion may improve detection of true STEMI. Convex STE is more common in ischemic than in non-ischemic patients, but the majority of STEMI patients present without convex STE.
The majority of the coastal area of Scania is highly susceptible to sediment transportation. Due to various influences which are both human induced and natural, the morphology of coastal dunes often alters. Therefore, it is important to assess these changes, especially after major cyclonic storms such as the storm Babet in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the aftermath. The purpose of

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En tredjedel av våra kärlväxter, och inte mindre än två tredjedelar av de rödlistade arterna, återfinns i semi-naturliga gräsmarker. Under de senaste 150-200 åren har denna typ av område minskat med omkring 90 % i Sverige och de kvarvarande gräsmarkerna drabbas av både kvalitetsförsämringar, som följd av minskat bete, gödsling o.s.v., och av en ökad fragmenterinSemi-natural grasslands are amongst our most species rich habitat types and house many threatened plant and animal species. These grasslands suffer from both quality deteriorations due to abandonment, fertilization etc., and from an increasing landscape fragmentation. In fragmented areas patches are smaller and more isolated from each other. If the anthropogenic influence is high, then they also t
The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the individual and gendered experiences among young girls and boys who have migrated independently to the city of Kumasi in Ghana in search of work and better life opportunities. The research questions relate to their experiences of opportunities and constraints at destination; self-protection strategies that they employ to minimize nega
This theoretical reflections evaluates my own learning experiences during six months in the master program of entrepreneurship at Lund University. I will focus on how to carry out an entrepreneurial project alone and what importance networks have in this process. I will use four main areas of theory that I will discuss and analyze; The comparison between team start-ups and solo start-ups, networki
Uppsatsen behandlar upplevelsen av att komma hem från längre utlandsuppehåll (repatriering) och hur en förståelse för identitetsskiften vid internationella uppdrag kan användas i International Human Resource Management. Uppsatsens syfte är att 1) beskriva, tolka och förklara hur medlemmar i föreningen Hjemvendte.dk upplever att flytta hem till Danmark efter längre utlandsuppehåll. 2) redogöra för
This Master’s thesis examines the outcomes of the new Free Choice policy with particular emphasis on whether giving residents the right to choose their providers of primary health care leads to a more equal distribution of primary health care accessibility. This study is based on the Secondary Analysis of assessment for vårdval (choice of health system) in Stockholm by Karolinska Institute (2010),
Då klimatförändringar studeras är det viktigt att ha markanvändningarna och deras förändringar i åtanke. Markanvändningarna är direkt och indirekt relaterat till klimatförändringar såsom exempelvis stigande temperaturer, vilket påskyndar starten av växtsäsongen. Fjärranalysdata ger en bättre bild av storskaliga förändringar i vegetationen än vad som är möjligt att observera från jordytan. VegetatiWith respect to climate change it is necessary to study land use and land cover (LULC) and their changes. LULC are related directly and indirectly to climatic changes such as rising temperatures that trigger earlier onset of vegetation growing seasons (IPCC 2007). Land surface phenology refers to the seasonal patterns of variation in vegetated land surfaces over large areas using satellite data (R
The thesis is investigating creation of Karen transnationality as a result of mass-resettlement of Karen refugees to third countries focusing on transnational identity and political, social and economic activism towards the territory of origin. The methodology used for the purpose of the study is ethnographic fieldwork, field observations, semi-structured interviews and statistical data. The poten
The report, designed for interested parties of the industrial food industry in France, is founded on three research questions inspired by literature studies of sustainable development, management of corporate social responsibility, industrial food production and food product quality. The research questions search for the identification and explanation of critical categories of concern relevant for
The starting point of this thesis is the managing of user-generated data in the online ecosystem and expanding development of big data. Many are worried that companies and authorities are invading their online privacy, and the lack of control by the provider of data, the citizens, can be considered one of our time’s most pressing civil rights issues. At the same time, media and information literac
