2. 1. Circumscribing Tonality: Upper Secondary Music Students Learning the Circle of Fifths : Att ringa in tonalitet: Gymnasieelever på estetiskt program lär sig kvintcirkeln

   Author : Niklas Rudbäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; music theory pedagogy; circle of fifths; key; tonic; upper secondary school; scientific concepts; learning;

   Abstract : The fundamental motivation for this research project is that listening is central to all musical activities, and that semiotic means for visualizing, representing, and conceptualizing music are central to educational endeavors aimed at developing trained listening. There is, however, a lack of research on how such semiotic means are taught and learned, especially in the aural skills and music theory subjects and in secondary education. READ MORE

4. 2. Insulin promotes GABA signalling modulation in both the mouse hippocampus and human CD4+ T cells

   Author : Hayma Hammoud; Bryndis Birnir; Fredrik Elinder; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gamma-aminobutyric acid; hippocampus; tonic currents; CD4 T cells; glucose; insulin; cytokines; proliferation.; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

   Abstract : Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult mammalian brain, where it mediates several biological functions. Rapid inhibition is predominantly mediated by the activation of GABA-A receptors that are ubiquitously expressed across the central nervous system in a cell-, circuit-, or region-specific manner.

5. 3. CAR T cells for Immunotherapy of Cancer

   Author : Tina Sarén; Magnus Essand; Martin Pule; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chimeric antigen receptor CAR -T cells; Cancer immunotherapy; NAP; Tonic signaling; T cell exhaustion; B cell lymphoma; clinical trial; glioblastoma;

   Abstract : In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by prolonging survival and even curing patients lacking other available therapies. Besides immune checkpoint inhibitors, one of the major advances is attributed to the success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in treating patients with B-cell malignancies.

6. 4. Wearable sensors for monitoring epilepsy and Parkinson´s disease

   Author : Dongni Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epilepsy; Parkinson’s disease; Wearable sensors; Continuous and objective monitoring; End users’ perceptions; Qualitative content analysis; Machine learning algorithms; Tonic-clonic seizure detection; Dose titration; Motor state recognition;

   Abstract : Introduction: Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease (PD) are conditions where management would benefit greatly from monitoring symptoms over longer time periods in natural everyday environments instead of only intermittent assessments at clinics. Wearable technology with built-in sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, could allow continuous and objective long-term monitoring of movement patterns. READ MORE

7. 5. Horizontal Slot Waveguides for Silicon Photonics Back-End Integration
