  2. 1. Development of an Interactive E-learning Management System (e-LMS) for Tanzanian Secondary Schools

    Author : Ellen Kalinga; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ICT; Tanzania; Secondary Schools; e-Learning; Software Engineering; UML; OOSA D; MDA; PIM; PSM; LMS; Open Source; Customization; Replication; Mirroring; Focus Group Discussion; mode 2; Triple Helix Processes;

    Abstract : e-Learning, defined as the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for supporting the educational process, has motivated Tanzania to apply ICT in its education systems. Tanzanian secondary schools which are geographically and socially isolated face a number of problems, including a way to get learning materials. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computational Models in Deep Brain Stimulation : Patient‐Specific Simulations, Tractography, and Group Analysis

    Author : Teresa Nordin; Karin Wårdell; Simone Hemm-Ode; Johannes D. Johansson; Harith Akram; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anisotropy; Deep brain stimulation DBS ; Finite element method FEM ; Patient‐specific simulation; Probabilistic stimulation maps PSM ; Tractography;

    Abstract : Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established method for symptom relief in movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. The therapy is based on implanting an electrode with four contacts in the deep brain structures where it provides electrical stimulation, mainly impacting the nerve tracts. READ MORE

  5. 3. Designing, developing, and evaluating a person-centered support model for women with breast cancer treated with endocrine therapy

    Author : Susanne Ahlstedt Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; Coping; Empowerment; Endocrine therapy; Intervention mapping; Patients´ experience; Person-centered care; Support model;

    Abstract : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Approximately 70% of all breast cancers are estrogen positive and are recommended for treatment with adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) for five to ten years, which significantly reduces mortality rates. However, problems related to ET can be experienced by patients. READ MORE

  6. 4. The proteasome as a target for cancer therapy

    Author : Peter Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer; Cell viability assay; Chemotherapy; Drug repurposing; Genomic and transcriptomic signatures; Prognostic biomarkers; Proteasome; Proteasome genes; Proteasome inhibitors; Drug sensitivity biomarkers; Synergistic effect; Triple-negative breast cancer;

    Abstract : The main objective of this PhD thesis was to evaluate the significance of proteasome genes as prognostic markers for different cancer types and identify specific cancer forms that respond to proteasome inhibition. The proteasome (PSM) plays an important role in maintaining cellular proteostasis and degrades the majority of proteins that require breakdown in the cell. READ MORE

  7. 5. Industrial Bioprocess Developments for Biogas and Ethanol Production

    Author : Karthik Rajendran; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biogas; ethanol; process design; techno-economic analysis; simulation; modeling; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : Current biofuels face a noteworthy misfortune on commercialization because of its economiccomparison with low-cost fuel from the oil reserves. To compete with gasoline as a fuel, thebiofuels need to be economically feasible and demonstrated on a large-scale. READ MORE
