  1. 1. Cardiometabolic risk indicators in bipolar disorders

    Författare :Hemen Najar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bipolar disorders; Cardiometabolic risk indicators; Cardiovascular diseases;

    Sammanfattning : In addition to disabling mood episodes, bipolar disorders (BDs) predispose individuals to high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This thesis explores the association between BDs and the metabolic risk indicators body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), blood pressure, and lipid profile. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Role of birds in the biology of Lyme disease Borrelia

    Författare :Åsa Gylfe; Klaus Kurtenbach; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lyme disease; birds; Borrelia; I. uriae; infection reactivation; stress; bipolar distribution; transequatorial transport;

    Sammanfattning : Lyme disease is a tick-transmitted illness caused by Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.), a group of spirochetes with at least three human pathogenic species, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Experimental Observations and Theoretical Modeling of Lightning Interaction with Tall Objects

    Författare :Helin Zhou; Rajeev Thottappillil; Gerhard Diendorfer; Daohong Wang; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tall objects; Upward lightning initiation; Charge density distribution; Upward positive lightning; Upward bipolar lightning;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates various discharge processes associated with upward lightning initiated from tall objects, both experimentally and theoretically, trying to bridge the knowledge-gap in understanding the mechanisms of the phenomena.Upward lightning initiation has attracted a great deal of interest during recent years due to the proliferation of tall communication towers and wind turbines.

  5. 4. Engineered ion-bombardment as a tool in thin film deposition

    Författare :Rommel Paulo B. Viloan; Ulf Helmersson; Daniel Lundin; Rainer Hippler; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HiPIMS; Bipolar HiPIMS; Ion-bombardment; Thin film;

    Sammanfattning : Energetic-ion bombardment has become an attractive route to modify the crystal growth and deposit high quality thin films. In high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) where the discharge is characterized by a significant amount of ions of the sputter-ejected atoms, energetic-ion bombardment effects could not be underestimated.

  7. 5. On Neuroimmunology and Brain Function: Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Författare :Nina Strenn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immune system; mental disorders; polymorphisms; depression; autism; bipolar disorder; SSRI; S100B; 5-HTR2A; Flinders sensitive line;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying many psychiatric disorders. Immune mediators are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) not only in response to harmful stimuli, but also in a constitutive manner, and serve as important plasticity factors during development.
