2. 1. Prospective cohort studies of disability pension and mortality in a Swedish county

   Author : Nadine Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Disability pension; risk factor; mortality; labour market; long-term sickness absence; cohort; diagnoses; musculoskeletal; psychiatric; cardiovascular; suicide;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study risk factors for disability pension, focusing on sociodemographic risk factors and sick-leave diagnoses, and also to investigate the risk of mortality among disability pension recipients. The research comprised four register studies of all people in the Östergötland County who were 16 64 years of age in December 1984, representing a total cohort of 245,704 persons. READ MORE

4. 2. Advancing the Implementation of Protective Measures for Drinking Water Sources in Sweden

   Author : Nadine Gärtner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water protection; mitigation measures; spatial planning; groundwater; surface water; drinking water; risk assessment;

   Abstract : The world’s drinking water sources are under growing pressure due to human activities, including infrastructure projects, agriculture, climate change, and the ever-increasing need for freshwater. Although there is a strong call to protect our source waters instead of increasing treatment efficiency at the drinking water treatment plant, the extent of protection measures is often hotly debated.

5. 3. Spinal Control of Locomotion : Developmental and Functional Aspects

   Author : Nadine Rabe; Klas Kullander; Artur Kania; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuronal network; commissural interneuron; developmental interneuron subtypes; V3; mouse genetics; Pitx2; axon guidance; netrin-1; DCC; EphA4; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap; Medicinsk utvecklings- och neurobiologi; Developmental Neurosciences; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

   Abstract : Neuronal networks are the central functional units of the nervous system. Knowledge about the identity of participating neurons and the assembly of these during development is crucial for the understanding of CNS function. READ MORE

6. 4. The Human Cochlea and Cochlear Implantation : Morphological Characteristics and Clinical Correlations

   Author : Nadine Schart-Morén; Helge Rask-Andersen; Elina Mäki-Torkko; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cochlear implantation; micro-CT; synchrotron; facial nerve stimulation; hearing preservation; round window;

   Abstract : The most common sensory deficit in the world is sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implantation (CI) can majorly contribute to restore hearing, not only in patients with severe to profound hearing loss, but also in hearing-impaired patients with residual low-frequency hearing.

7. 5. Across Borders : A Histological and Physiological Study of the Subthalamic Nucleus in Reward and Movement

   Author : Nadine Schweizer; Åsa Wallén-Mackenzie; Dai Stephens; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; subthalamic nucleus; STN; basal ganglia; locomotion; hyperlocomotion; rearing; ventral tegmental area; VTA; dopamine; glutamate; vesicular glutamate transporter 2; Vglut2; Parkinson s disease; deep brain stimulation; subpopulation; conditional knock-out; optogenetic; co-expression; in situ hybridization; self-administration; reward behavior; mouse genetics;

   Abstract : The basal ganglia are the key circuitry controlling movement and reward behavior. Both locomotion and reward-related behavior are also modified by dopaminergic input from the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area (VTA). READ MORE
