    Sammanfattning : Against a backdrop of feminist and social scientific research on sex, female embodiment, and normality this thesis aims to discern how young women, who in adolescence have learned that their bodies are developing in ways considered ‘atypical’ for the female sex, make sense of their bodies and their situation. In focus are the ways in which the women make sense of and negotiate female embodiment; how they, particularly in stories about their interactions with others, position their embodied selves; and how norms and beliefs about sexed embodiment, heterosexual practice, and in/fertility are strengthened and challenged in the interviewees’ sense-making.

  3. 22. Quantum Chemical Studies of Chemotherapeutic Drug Cisplatin : Activation and Binding to DNA

    Författare :Johan Raber; David van der Spoel; Paolo Carloni; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Quantum chemistry; cisplatin; quantum chemistry; DNA; density functional theory; activation; JM118; substitution reaction; Platinum; guanine; adenine; cytostatic drug; aquation; anation; activation; Kvantkemi;

    Sammanfattning : The serendipitous discovery of the potent cytotoxic properties of cisplatin brought about a revolution in the treatment of certain types of cancer, but almost fifty years later, there still remain unknown areas in the chemistry of cisplatin. There are questions regarding which form of the drug reaches its DNA target, or why certain DNA sequences are more preferred than others for reaction with cisplatin. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : One of the issues addressed in this thesis concerns whether and how sensitivity to nonverbal communication develops during a period of time spent in professional education. In addition, this investigation is an attempt to gain insight into the complex questions which arise when nonverbal communication is studied from different theoretical perspectives and by employing different research methods.
