  1. 1. Biological Age and Risk of Developing Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Karolina Gustavsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Biological age BA ; PhenoAge; Klemera Doubal Method KDM ; Homeostatic Dysregulation HD ; Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias ADRD ; Biologisk ålder; PhenoAge; Klemera Doubal-metod; Homeostatic Dysregulation HD ; Alzheimers sjukdom och relaterade demenssjukdomar ADRD ;

    Abstract : Biologisk ålder (BA) har nyligen fått ökad uppmärksamhet att fördjupa förståelsen kring åldersrelaterade sjukdomar och dess behandlingar, eftersom åldersrelaterade förändringar utgör en grundläggande gemensam nämnare för dessa tillstånd. Medan kronologisk ålder (CA) mäts i år, kan biologisk ålder (BA) mätas på många olika sätt. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluation of rainfall-runoff modelling data in Sebeya Catchment, Rwanda - Recommendations for improved flood hazard analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Anna Ebbersten; [2023]
    Keywords : Rwanda; Sebeya; hydrological modelling; rainfall-runoff; catchment; HEC-HMS; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. READ MORE
