    Abstract : Background: Drugs are one of the cornerstones in the management of many diseases. In general, drugs are used for diagnosis, prevention, mitigation of symptoms, and, sometimes, to cure disease. However, drug treatment in elderly people, especially those with dementia and cognitive impairments, may involve significant risk of adverse drug events. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sensitivity Analysis of Untestable Assumptions in Causal Inference

    Author : Mathias Lundin; Xavier de Luna; Maria Karlsson; Sune Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Observational studies; semiparametric regression; unconfoundedness; Causal inference; Statistics; Statistik; Statistics; statistik;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to the research field of causal inference, where the effect of a treatment on an outcome is of interest is concerned. Many such effects cannot be estimated through randomised experiments. For example, the effect of higher education on future income needs to be estimated using observational data. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cultures of Denial : Comparing Holocaust and Armenian Genocide Denial

    Author : Maria Karlsson; Historia; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Denial; denialism; genocide; Holocaust; Armenian genocide; 1915; negationism; historiography; scholarship; Bernard Lewis; Arno Mayer; objectivity; genocide studies; revisionism;

    Abstract : This thesis studies the phenomenon of modern genocide denial, focusing in particular on the Western denialist cultures surrounding the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide of 1915.While those denying, rationalizing or trivializing the Holocaust may be completely separated from those engaging in denial of the Armenian genocide, both cultures of denial have undergone similar historical phases and developments.

  7. 5. Protected Lignin Biorefining: Fundamental Insights on Lignin Reactivity

    Author : Maria Karlsson; Martin Lawoko; Åsa Emmer; Olena Sevastyanova; John Ralph; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainability; lignin; biorefinery; cyclic organosolv extraction; preserved structure; NMR; MALDI-TOF MS; Hållbarhet; lignin; bioraffinaderi; cyklisk organosolv extraktion; bevarad struktur; NMR; MALDI-TOF MS; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

    Abstract : The potential to utilize lignin, which constitutes as much as 15-30% of the biomass, needs further evaluation. In the transition towards a bioeconomy, lignin has the potential to replace fossil-based phenols. Attempts to valorize the available technical lignins are ongoing; however, that lignin suffers from molecular heterogeneity. READ MORE
