2. 1. Physical activity and the young female skeleton

   Author : Örnolfur Valdimarsson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Skelett; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Bone mass; Osteoporosis; Young female skeleton; Physical activity;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to identify the influence of calcium, physical activity and detraining on bone mass and bone size in girls and young women. We hypothesised that calcium intake above a specific level does not enhance the accrual of bone mineral, that exercise predominantly influences the skeleton in the early pubertal period and that reduced training is followed by a loss of exercise-induced skeletal benefits.

4. 2. Skeleton Programming for Heterogeneous GPU-based Systems

   Author : Usman Dastgeer; Christoph Kessler; Kristian Sandahl; Sergei Gorlatch; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Skeleton programming; GPU programming; SkePU; performance; portability; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : In this thesis, we address issues associated with programming modern heterogeneous systems while focusing on a special kind of heterogeneous systems that include multicore CPUs and one or more GPUs, called GPU-based systems.We consider the skeleton programming approach to achieve high level abstraction for efficient and portable programming of these GPU-based systemsand present our work on SkePU library which is a skeleton library for these systems.

5. 3. Musculoskeletal Development in Jawed Vertebrates : Gene function, cis-regulation, and 3D phenotypes in zebrafish

   Author : Jake Leyhr; Tatjana Haitina; Sophie Sanchez; Per Ahlberg; Chrissy Hammond; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nkx3.2; Gdf5; Mkx; zebrafish; jaw joint; skeleton; fin development; cartilage; tendon; ligament; enhancer; CRISPR Cas9; mutant; microCT; synchrotron; Biology with specialization in Evolutionary Organismal Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot evolutionär organismbiologi;

   Abstract : Vertebrate skeletons are an intricate framework of bony and cartilaginous structures that form through carefully orchestrated developmental processes, guided by interacting genetic pathways that regulate cellular differentiation, migration, and tissue morphogenesis. The specific timing and localisation of gene expression shapes the diverse array of skeletal elements, from the flexible cartilages of the embryonic stage to the hardened bones that provide structural support in adulthood, and the joints and connective tissues that articulate the musculoskeletal system.

6. 4. The role of Nkx3.2 and Gdf5 during zebrafish skeletal development

   Author : Laura Waldmann; Tatjana Haitina; Abigail Tucker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nkx3.2; Gdf5; zebrafish; jaw joint; joints; axial skeleton; appendicular skeleton; fin; enhancer conservation; CRISPR Cas9; OPT;

   Abstract : The vertebrate skeleton is composed of bony and cartilaginous structures that are developed under the control of numerous genetic networks. The transcription factor Nkx3. READ MORE

7. 5. Bone mass in young adults - determinants and fracture prediction

   Author : Henrik Düppe; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; rheumatology locomotion; muscle system; Skeleton; Fracture prediction.; Bone mass; Osteoporosis; Bone densitometry; muskelsystem; reumatologi;

   Abstract : Bone mass in adolescents and young adults was studied with regard to its age-related change and its determinants. Methodological aspects of bone mass measurements and their ability to predict future fractures were investigated. READ MORE
