2. 1. Acute Achilles tendon rupture - The impact of calf muscle performance on function and recovery

   Author : Annelie Brorsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Achilles tendon rupture; Rehabilitation; Heel-rise; Function; Recovery; Calf muscle; Ankle biomechanics; Endurance; Jump; Sex differences;

   Abstract : There is an ongoing debate about the optimal treatment for patients with an acute Achilles tendon rupture. The overall purpose of this thesis was to acquire a greater knowledge of the way patients recover at different time points after the injury when treated with the currently recommended treatment protocols.

4. 2. Optimization beyond a single submodular function : Submodular optimization for ranking, decision trees and diversity

   Author : Guangyi Zhang; Aristides Gionis; Danupon Na Nongkai; Parinya Chalermsook; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Submodular optimization; Approximation algorithms; Ranking; Decision trees; Diversity; Datalogi; Computer Science;

   Abstract : Submodular functions characterize mathematically the ubiquitous ``diminishing-returns'’ property. They are widely used to describe core subjects in numerous applications, including economic utility, redundancy in information, spread of influence in social networks, and more. READ MORE

5. 3. Antiplasmin the main plasmin inhibitor in blood plasma : studies on structure-function relationships

   Author : Haiyao Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Antiplasmin; lysine-binding-site; inactivation;

   Abstract : Antiplasmin is an important regulator of the fibrinolytic system. It inactivates plasmin very rapidly. The reaction between plasmin and antiplasmin occurs in several steps: first a lysine-binding site in plasmin interacts with a complementary site in antiplasmin. READ MORE

6. 4. Structure-function studies of GDNF and other members of the TGF-beta superfamily

   Author : Susanna Eketjäll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family is a distant subclass of the TGF-beta superfamily. The GDNF family of ligands, consisting of GDNF, neurturin (NTN), artemin (ART) and persephin (PSP), are potent survival and differentiation factors for neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

7. 5. Amyloid beta aggregation kinetics : The role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors

   Author : Xiaoting Yang; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; Abeta; aggregation; kinetics; secondary nucleation;

   Abstract : Cerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia.
