Nature has been successful in self-assembling simple building blocks to complex functional architectures and the concept of supramolecular chemistry has enabled chemists to mimic nature's self-assembly principles. The understanding of the assembly/reassembly ...

Background: Cognitive impairment is a core feature at all stages of the psychotic illness and significantly predicts functional outcomes. Targeting cognition early is theoretically attractive as a means to reverse the functional impairment before ...

Abstract Background: Insufficient sleep is associated with an increased risk of a variety of negative health outcomes and has been shown to adversely affect academic and cognitive function. Despite strong evidence of the deleterious effects of short ...

The research described in this thesis is part of a network project involving the growth of metal nanostructures on surfaces of solids, a Horizon 2020 project titled ELENA. The part of the project described here involved the use of various approaches ...

Background: Major depression is the most common psychiatric disorder, associated with the highest disease burden worldwide when it comes to years lost to disability. Efforts to identify indicators of depression risk have strongly implicated depressive ...

Climate warming in sub-Arctic regions leads to shifts in plant communities and retreating glaciers. Mosses and lichens contribute to important ecosystem processes in these environments, including nitrogen fixation via their microbiome. The first objective ...

Becoming Cosmopolitan Citizen Architects: A Reflection on Architectural Education in a Nordic–Baltic Perspective This doctoral thesis contributes to the discussion of how architectural education can be advanced to respond better to the current climate ...

Archaeology has been fundamentally entangled in colonial power dynamics and nationalist schemes. This entanglement is clearly evident in Iceland, as our discipline has been, and continues to be, a vital tool in shaping and reshaping the Icelandic ...

Today, society is reliant on nonrenewable fossil fuels and petrochemical derivatives. As the global population increases, energy and materials are rapidly diminishing, and a drastic, responsive change is needed to achieve a more sustainable world. It ...

Aims: The aim of the doctoral project was to develop and assess data extraction and analysis methods specific to the anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism. The aim of paper I was to evaluate differences in the timing of the peak knee valgus moment ...
