2. 1. 3D Magnetic Nulls and Regions of Strong Current in the Earth's Magnetosphere

   Author : Elin Eriksson; Andris Vaivads; Hans Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Magnetic Nulls; Particle Acceleration; Current sheets; Magnetic reconnection; Magnetosphere; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

   Abstract : Plasma, a gas of charged particles exhibiting collective behaviour, can be found everywhere in our vast Universe. The characteristics of plasma in very distant parts of the Universe can be similar to characteristics in our solar system and near-Earth space. READ MORE

4. 2. Electron energization in near-Earth space : Studies of kinetic scales using multi-spacecraft data

   Author : Elin Eriksson; Andris Vaivads; Masahiro Hoshino; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetic reconnection; electron acceleration; electron heating; magnetosheath; magnetotail; magnetic nulls; Cluster; Magnetospheric MultiScale; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

   Abstract : Plasma, a gas of charged particles exhibiting collective behavior, is everywhere in the Universe. The heating of plasma to millions of degrees and acceleration of charged particles to very high energies has been observed in many astrophysical environments. How and where the heating and acceleration occur is in many cases unclear. READ MORE

5. 3. Investigations of human cortical processing of gentle touch. A study with time-resolved electro-magnetic signal analysis

   Author : Elin Eriksson Hagberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aβ afferent; C-tactile; touch; EEG; MEG; SEEG;

   Abstract : The present work summarizes investigations of the temporal correlates of brain activity elicited by gentle, moving touch on the hairy skin in healthy participants and in epilepsy patients. Light touch to the hairy skin activates two distinct afferent classes: fast conducting, Aβ afferents and slowly conducting C-tactile (CT) afferents. READ MORE

6. 4. Roles of Androgens in Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathophysiology

   Author : Elin Svedlund Eriksson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; androgens; androgen receptor; atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; immune system; SARMs; male mice;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Atherosclerosis is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, and these conditions are the leading causes of death both in Sweden and globally. The immune system is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as well as post-MI cardiac injury. READ MORE

7. 5. The Effect of Steroid Hormones in the Female Brain During Different Reproductive States

   Author : Elin Bannbers; Inger Sundström-Poromaa; Johan Wikström; Kristiina Kask; Eriksson Elias; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Premenstrual dysphoric disorder; Postpartum; Estradiol; Progesterone; Menstrual cycle; Functional magnetic resonance imaging; Response inhibition; Prepulse inhibition; Startle response; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depression and anxiety disorders and have an increased risk of onset during periods associated with hormonal changes, such as the postpartum period and the menopausal transition. Furthermore, some women seem more sensitive to normal hormone fluctuations across the menstrual cycle, since approximately 3-5% suffers from premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). READ MORE
