  2. 11. Mat och måltider vid livets slut : patienter och närståendes erfarenheter av ätsvårigheter

    Author : Viktoria Wallin; Cecilia Håkansson; Ida Carlander; Per-Olof Sandman; Karolinska institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Food and meals are embedded in people’s everyday social life. For people with progressive life-limiting conditions eating is often obstructed. When a dying person is cared for at home, family members often take responsibility for the provision of food and mealtimes. READ MORE

  4. 12. Aggregation of Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Power Systems for Primary Frequency Control

    Author : Seyedmahdi Izadkhast; Mehrdad Ghandhari; Garcia-Gonzalez Pablo; Frias Pablo; Ignacio Egido Cortés; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aggregation; Plug-in Electric Vehicles; Primary Frequency Control; Aggregeren; Plug-in Elektrische Voertuigen; Primaire Reserve; Laddbara Bilar; Elnätet; Primär Frekvensreglering; Agregación; Vehículos Eléctricos Enchufables PEVs ; Control Primario de Frecuencia PFC ; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The number of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) is likely to increase in the near future and these vehicles will probably be connected to the electric grid most of the day time. PEVs are interesting options to provide a wide variety of services such as primary frequency control (PFC), because they are able to quickly control their active power using electronic power converters.

  5. 13. Inhibition in cognition : neurophysiology and connectivity of gabaergic interneurons in the prefrontal cortex

    Author : Josina Anna van Lunteren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a cortical region involved in higher-order cognitive functions, it is widely connected to the rest of the neocortex and is involved in tasks that require temporal integration of information. The local PFC circuit contains excitatory pyramidal neurons and inhibitory interneurons, and the interplay between these is essential for computations in the PFC. READ MORE

  6. 14. On the neuronal basis of cognition : cell-type specific circuitry and functions of the prefrontal cortex

    Author : Sofie Ährlund-Richter; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis recapitulates the history of research, and current knowledge, of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in order to provide a context for the included scientific articles. The evident, but ill-defined, symptoms of a perturbation of the PFC is still a conundrum to neuroscientists. READ MORE

  7. 15. Assessment of human exposure to per- and polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) : exposure through food, drinking water, house dust and indoor air

    Author : Ingrid Ericson Jogsten; Gunilla Lindström; Bert van Bavel; Stuart Harrad; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; human exposure; per- and polyfluorinated compunds PFCs ; dietary intake; drinking water; indoor environment; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Chemistry; Kemi; Miljökemi; Environmental Chemistry; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Per- and polyfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are detected in humans worldwide but all sources of human exposure have not been fully characterized. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the contributions from food, water, air and dust as sources for human PFC exposure in the general population. READ MORE
