1. 6. Olfaction and prejudice : The role of body odor disgust sensitivity and disease avoidance in understanding social attitudes

   Författare :Marta Zakrzewska; Jonas K. Olofsson; Liuzza Marco Tullio; Sandra Soares; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; olfaction; disease avoidance; prejudice; body odors; disgust sensitivity; psykologi; Psychology;

   Sammanfattning : Disease avoidance is one of the main roles of olfaction. In particular, body odors are universal elicitors of disgust, a core emotion that plays a key role in disease avoidance. The disease avoidance theoretical framework emphasizes psychological mechanisms – attitudes and behaviors – aiming to recognize and evade pathogen threats. LÄS MER

3. 7. Laser-Induced Incandescence and Complementary Diagnostics for Flame Soot Characterization

   Författare :Nils-Erik Olofsson; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysicumarkivet A:2015:Olofsson;

   Sammanfattning : This work has been aimed at developing and applying laser-induced incandescence (LII) for flame soot characterization. The basic principle of LII is rapid heating of the soot particles to temperatures of 3500-4000 K by short laser pulses. Thereby the intensity of the soot incandescence is increased. LÄS MER

4. 8. Short- and long-term effects of long-chain free fatty acids on pancreatic α- and β-cell function

   Författare :Charlotta Olofsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetologi; sekretion; Endokrinologi; diabetology; secreting systems; Endocrinology; type-2 diabetes.; intracellular free Ca2 ; exocytosis; Free fatty acids; pancreatic α- and β-cells;

   Sammanfattning : We have investigated the in vitro effects of long-chain free fatty acids (FFAs) on mouse pancreatic α- and β-cells by a combination of electrophysiological recordings, intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) microfluorimetry and hormone release measurements. Acute addition of the saturated FFA palmitate to intact islets doubled insulin as well as glucagon secretion in the presence of 1 or 15 mM glucose and the FFA remained capable of enhancing release of both hormones in islets depolarised with high K+ in the presence of the KATP channel opener diazoxide, indicating that alterations of ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channel activity is not part of the effect.

5. 9. Gender differences in chemosensory function

   Författare :Jonas Olofsson; Steven Nordin; Mats Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of two studies, in which gender differences in nasal chemosensory function are investigated. The first study assesses odor identification ability in a populationbased sample, varying from 45 to 90 yrs, screened for cognitive impairment and severe olfactory dysfunction. LÄS MER

7. 10. Därför berör oss fåglarnas liv : Lennart Sjögrens poetiska livsförståelse
