4. 2. Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer - Molecular Genetics and Biology of Associated Tumors

   Author : Maria Planck; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; endometrial cancer; rectal cancer; colon cancer; mismatch repair protein expression; coding repeats; microsatellite instability; MSH6; MSH2; Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer; MLH1; small bowel cancer; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on one of the most common types of hereditary cancer, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). This syndrome is characterized by an autosomal dominant inheritance, an increased risk for several types of cancer (especially cancer of the colorectum, small bowel, endometrium, ovary and urinary tract), early age at diagnosis, and frequent development of multiple primary malignancies.

5. 3. Designing Monstrous Experiences Through Soma Design

   Author : Pavel Karpashevich; Kristina Höök; Pedro Sanches; Jordi Solsona; Mark Blythe; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; soma design; first-person perspective; monster; monstrous experiences; shape-changing; restrictions; uncomfortable experiences; wearable technologies; soma design; förstapersonsperspektiv; monster; monstruösa upplevelser; formförändrande; begränsningar; obekväma upplevelser; kroppsnära teknik; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

   Abstract : There is currently a wave of research and development of novel on-body technologies and materials, including shape-changing technologies to be worn on or used close to the body. Traditional interaction design methods and interface models are not always a good fit for designing meaningful interactions with these technologies as they primarily interact with our somatic selves—not our language-oriented, symbol-processing ways of being in the world.

   Abstract : Refugees, particularly those exposed to torture and other forms of organized violence, often experience a wide range of difficulties, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and somatic disturbances, particularly pain. Multimodal treatments have been developed to target this comorbidity in refugees, with evidence suggesting they are moderately effective. READ MORE

7. 5. Metapopulations dynamics and sex-specific resource allocation in Silene dioica

   Author : Elisabet Peedu; Pär Ingvarsson; Barbara Giles; Umeå universitet; []

   Abstract : Rising archipelagos provide unique settings for the study of the temporal and spatial dynamics of their biota. This offers the possibility to study the ecology and genetics of early successional processes; both between islands that differ in age and within islands when already established organisms have to keep pace with the changing environment.
