  2. 1. Factors influencing the metabolism of inorganic arsenic in humans

    Author : Anna-Lena Lindberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Arsenic; AS3MT; Gender differences; GSTO1; Metabolism; Methylation; MTHFR; Nutrition; Polymorphisms;

    Abstract : Inorganic arsenic (iAs), a naturally occurring drinking water contaminant, is a potent human carcinogen and toxicant. It is believed that in humans, as well as in most mammals, inorganic arsenic is biotransformed via reduction and methylation using one-carbon metabolism with S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) as methyl donor, and is excreted mainly in urine as dimethylarsinate (DMA) and methylarsonate (MA) as well as some unmethylated iAs (arsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)).

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Southeast Asia; ASEAN; AFTA; AEC; IAI; ASEAN 3; GMS; ACMECS; CLMV; Cambodia; Laos; regionalisation; regionalism; economic integration; foreign trade.;

    Abstract : This study deals with the current regionalisation process in Southeast Asia, and exploratively examines the various cooperation and integration schemes that are taking place in the region. The main focus is placed on, first, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and, second, the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) and the Ayeyawady - Chao Phraya - Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy (ACMECS).

  6. 4. Rational design of novel cell-penetrating peptides

    Author : Staffan Lindberg; Ülo Langel; Lena Mäler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Although cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been an active field of research for over 20 years there are still properties such as efficiency and stability that must be improved for CPPs to reach their full potential as delivery vectors.In this thesis two peptides were designed for non-covalent oligonucleotide delivery, in an attempt to overcome two major issues hampering wider use of CPPs, namely low stability and endosomal entrapment.

  7. 5. Moving together – conditions for intercultural development at a highly diverse Swedish school

    Author : Helen Avery; Ylva Lindberg; Anna-Lena Tvingstedt; Fred Dervin; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is a case study of a primary school in a highly diverse urban neighbourhood in Sweden. Basic pre-conditions for intercultural school development are studied by examining the overall organisation of teaching, learning and opportunities for collaboration in the investigated case.
