Tauopathies belong to a group of neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles in neurons and includes diseases such as Alzheimer´s disease and frontotemporal dementia. Neurofibrillary tangles are insoluble deposits that are composed mainly of tau, which normally acts to stabilize microtubules. In disease, tau forms fibrillar and oligomeric species, wHelpers of helpers – co-chaperone proteins and protein aggregation Proteins are one of the essential molecules that make up our bodies and the bodies of all living beings. Chaperone proteins exist as a protein ¨helper,¨ folding, maintaining, and regulating other proteins. To help these helpers, co-chaperone proteins, ¨helpers of helpers,¨ regulate chaperone proteins and help them by carrying out

Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur elever i gymnasiesärskolan ges möjligheter till musikaliskt lärande. Studien grundar sig i bristande erfarenheter kring att undervisa elever med olika funktionsnedsättningar samt en uppfattning om att undervisningen kan tendera att fokusera mer på omvårdnad. Frågeställningar som låg till grund för studien var följande: Hur upplever eleverna sin musikundervThe study aims to enlighten how students in special needs upper secondary school are given the opportunities to develop their musical skills. The background of the study was the aspects of that I had been given a few rare moments to gain experiences in teaching students with disabilities during my studies to become a music teacher. But also that education for students with disabilities may be char

Powders are complex systems that depend strongly on how the individual particles in- teract and their surroundings. Understanding powders behaviour under certain conditions is very important for the product in many applications, one of them being Additive Manu- facturing (AM). The overall goal of this study is to understand and quantify the effect of flow additives in combination with iron powder.

Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s can be treated with stem-cell derived specialized neurons. In order to achieve precise directed neural differentiation in vitro we need to understand the gene regulatory mechanisms behind in vivo neural tube patterning. We implement a 3D computational model of brain patterning to simulate this process. The mathematical model is set up by unifying two e
