Many aspects of the process of in vitro differentiation of chondrocytes in three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds need to be further investigated. Chitosan scaffolds were produced by freeze-drying 3% w/v 90% DDA chitosan gels. The effect of the cell seeding concentration was evaluated by culturing human adult chondrocytes in chitosan scaffolds After the first passage, cells were seeded into chitosan sca

Något har hänt med kriminalpolitiken. Brott och straff står högt på den politiska agendan hos såväl regeringen som oppositionen. Kriminalpolitiken tillhör väljarnas viktigaste frågor. Brottsligheten får ett allt större utrymme i media. Reformtakten på det straffrättsliga området har accelererat. I den här boken tar tolv yngre svenska straffrättsforskare pulsen på den samtida kriminalpolitiken. Gen

Det tredje kapitlet, ”Polisrätten – samhällsskydd och rättssäkerhet” av Tor-Geir Myhrer och Andreas Anderberg, går närmare in på de rättsliga ramarna för polisens arbete och diskuterar de rättsliga krav och principer som ligger till grund för polisens verksamhet. Polisrättens två huvuduppgifter är att dels ge polisen rättslig grund för att utföra sin samhällsskyddande uppgift, dels reglera utföran

Importance: Genetic risk factors are known to play a role in the etiology of psychotic experiences in the general population. Little is known about whether these risk factors interact with environmental risks for psychotic experiences. Objective: To assess etiological heterogeneity and exposure to environmental risks associated with psychotic experiences in adolescence using the twin design. Desig

Titanium nitride and hafnium oxide stack have been widely used in various resistive memory elements since the materials are complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor compatible. The understanding of the interface properties between the electrode and the oxide is important in designing the memory behavior. To bridge this understanding, HfOx grown using plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD)

The first European Vasculitis Society (EUVAS) meeting report was published in 2017. Herein, we report on developments in the past 5 years which were greatly influenced by the pandemic. The adaptability to engage virtually, at this critical time in society, embodies the importance of networks and underscores the role of global collaborations. We outline state-of-the-art webinar topics, updates on d

BACKGROUND: Kinetic energy (KE) of intracardiac blood flow reflects myocardial work spent on accelerating blood and provides a mechanistic window into diastolic filling dynamics. Diastolic dysfunction may represent an early stage in the development of heart failure (HF). Here we evaluated the hemodynamic effects of impaired diastolic function in subjects with and without HF, testing the hypothesis

This paper builds on a new dataset from the population register, comprising 38,022 randomly sampled Stockholm residents. The register was also the income tax list, with information about people’s incomes of various types, age, and household composition, in the years 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1940 and 1950. We use this dataset, along with the census of 1930, which uniquely included income infor

Objectives: The primary objective was to investigate the utility of blood-basedbiomarkers of amyloid, tau, and neurodegeneration for (i) screening, (ii)enrichment, and (iii) tracking response to treatment in clinical trials of Alzheimer’sdisease.Methods: Longitudinal, participant-level data used in these studies was drawn fromthe Swedish BioFINDER study and the ADNI study. Participants were classi

We study the mapping and reporting of climate-related risks among firms listed on the NasdaqOMX stock exchange in Stockholm in four goods producing industries. Our study contains two parts: i) a study of the firms’ external communication through their annual reports, sustainability reports and webpages, and ii) a follow-up survey to the top management team.

Many studies demonstrate an intergenerational transmission of divorce (ITD). Most research is, however, limited to modern periods (i.e., more recent decades) and little is known about whether this relationship is deeply rooted or whether it has changed over time. Explanations, including sociodemographic and interpersonal factors, have been offered as links between parental divorce and offspring’s

Divorce increased dramatically during the twentieth century across the western world. There is surprisingly little research on the determinants of divorce during this transition. We investigate micro-level sociodemographic determinants of divorce in Sweden 1922–1967 using longitudinal data at individual and household level from southern Sweden, focusing on the associations between divorce and wome
