  2. 1. Everyday functioning in six year-old children born preterm : From a child perspective towards the child's perspective

    Author : Anna Karin Andersson; Lena Almqvist; Lene Martin; Katarina Strand Brodd; Eva Nordmark; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Children born preterm; everyday functioning; child s perspective; person-oriented approach; photo voice; Care Sciences; vårdvetenskap;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis was to explore everyday functioning in six year-old children born preterm, from the children’s perspectives and from their parents’ perspectives. The relation between everyday functioning and neonatal risk factors, behavioural characteristics was studied with descriptive and correlational statistics, ANOVA and multiple linear regression (I).

  4. 2. Role of Non-Homologous End-Joining in Repair of Radiation-Induced DNA Double-Strand Breaks

    Author : Karin Karlsson; Bo Stenerlöw; Jörgen Carlsson; Thomas Helleday; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular biology; DNA damage; DNA repair; DSB; NHEJ; DNA-PK; ionising radiation; high-LET; heat-labile sites; PFGE; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Efficient and correct repair of DNA damage, especially DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), is vital for the survival of individual cells and organisms. Defects in the DNA repair may lead to cell death or genomic instability and development of cancer. READ MORE

  5. 3. Formation and repair of complex DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation

    Author : Karin Magnander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ionizing radiation; clustered damage; chromatin structure; DSB;

    Abstract : DNA is the critical target when cells are exposed to ionizing radiation, a potent stressor with capacity to produce complex DNA damages, thereby increasing the risk of cancer. DNA and associated histones form chromatin, which is an effective protection against ionizing radiation. READ MORE

  6. 4. DNA repair pathways and the effect of radiotherapy in breast cancer

    Author : Karin Söderlund Leifler; Marie Askmalm Stenmark; Olle Stål; Bo Stenerlöw; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : A large proportion of breast cancer patients are treated with radiotherapy. Ionising radiation induces different DNA damages, of which double-strand breaks are the most severe. They are mainly repaired by homologous recombination or non-homologous end-joining. Different protein complexes have central roles in these repair processes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Slag inclusion formation during solidification of steel alloys and in cast iron

    Author : Sofia Adolfi; Hasse Fredriksson; Karin Hansson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; solidification; segregation; precipitation; inclusions; inoculation; EMPA; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the formation of segregation and inclusions during solidification of steel and cast iron. A better understanding of the formation mechanism should result in decreasing fraction of defects during solidification of ingot and strand material. READ MORE
