  2. 1. Regulation of human macrophage gene expression by oxidized low density lipoprotein. Studies on tumor necrosis factor-a and global gene expression profiles

    Author : Mikael C. O. Englund; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; macrophage; gene expression; TNF-a; oxidized LDL; oxysterol; transcription factor; microarray;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial and progressive disease that is characterized by a focal thickening of the arteries caused by accumulation of lipoproteins, extracellular matrix, and the migration and proliferation of various cell types. Among the cells found in atherosclerotic lesions are macrophages, which accumulate lipids and are transformed into foam cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. Market power in the Swedish banking oligopoly : a game-theoretic model of competition applied to the five big Swedish banks 1989-97

    Author : Gabriel C Oxenstierna; Peter Englund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at assessing the degree of competition among the five dominating Swedish banks during the period 1989-1997. In so doing, it also aims to develop a general oligopoly model with the specific purpose of providing a tool for an improved methodology for the evaluation of market power in oligopolistic markets, and to demonstrate the empirical application of this methodology.

  5. 3. A Simulation-Based Safety Analysis of CACC-Enabled Highway Platooning

    Author : Maytheewat Aramrattana; Tony Larsson; Cristofer Englund; Jonas Jansson; Vicente Milanés; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; simulation; driving simulator; traffic simulator; network simulator; C-ITS; cooperative intelligent transport systems; platooning;

    Abstract : Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) enable actors in the transport systems to interact and collaborate by exchanging information via wireless communication networks. There are several challenges to overcome before they can be implemented and deployed on public roads. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hormonal regulation of sex steroid receptors and growth related genes in human myometrium and leiomyomas

    Author : Katarina Englund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Uterus; leiomyoma; steroid receptor; protooncogenes; IGF-I; EGF.;

    Abstract : Uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors in the female genital tract.They represent a major cause of gynaecologic morbidity. The etiology of these tumors is largely unknown but the levels of estrogen (E) and progesterone (P) are considered to be the major determinants for fibroid growth. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects pf hypoxia and antiepileptic drugs of electrophysiological properties of CA1 neurons in hippocampus

    Author : Marita Englund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Antiepileptic drug; brain slice; epilepsy; hippocampus; hypoxia; patchclamp; rat;

    Abstract : This thesis is based on three experimental studies (I-III) of CA1 hippocampal neurons in rat brain slices, where the electrophysiological properties are examined with patch clamp technique under hypoxic conditions and during treatment with antiepileptic drugs, respectively. The cells were visualized and identified in the slice by means of infrared differential interference contrast (IR-DIC) video microscopy and the experiments were carried out at room temperature (22-25 ºC).
