1. 1. Lipid Markers in Men and Women with Peripheral Arterial Disease

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

   Author : Ida Siggberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Sex differences; Peripheral Arterial Disease; Atherosclerosis; Lipid Markers;

   Abstract : Introduction Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and oxidized LDL (oxLDL) are circulating lipoproteins known to promote development of atherosclerosis. LDL can be oxidized in several ways, including enzymatic oxidation by myeloperoxidase (MPO). READ MORE

3. 2. Anti-neutrofila cytoplasmatiska antikroppar (ANCA) hos hund : en ny diagnostisk markör för sjukdomar som förlöper med vaskulit?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Josefin Damm; [2020]
   Keywords : Anti-neutrofila cytoplasmatiska antikroppar; ANCA; C-ANCA; P-ANCA; hund; nova scotia duck tolling retriever; tollarsjuka; Steroid-responsiv meningit-arterit; SRMA; immune-mediated rheumatic disease; IMRD; MPO; PR3;

   Abstract : Anti-neutrofila cytoplasmatiska antikroppar (ANCA) är en specifik typ av autoantikroppar som riktar sig mot innehållet i cytoplasmatiska granula hos neutrofila granulocyter. På humansidan är de i hög grad associerade med sjukdomar som förlöper med vaskulit. Få studier har dock gjorts om dess relevans inom veterinärmedicin. READ MORE

4. 3. Multi-period portfolio optimization given a priori information on signal dynamics and transactions costs

   University essay from KTH/Optimeringslära och systemteori

   Author : Jedra Yassir; [2018]
   Keywords : Multi-period portfolio optimization; portfolio selection; mean-variance optimization; return predictability; mean reverting processes; transactions costs; market impacts; stochastic optimal control.;

   Abstract : Multi-period portfolio optimization (MPO) has gained a lot of interest in modern portfolio theory due to its consideration for inter-temporal trading e effects, especially market impacts and transactions costs, and for its subtle reliability on return predictability. However, because of the heavy computational demand, portfolio policies based on this approach have been sparsely explored. READ MORE

5. 4. Investigating causative genes for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease in a zebrafish model system using CRISPR-Cas9technology

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Shreya Pundir; [2017]
   Keywords : Atherosclerosis; Coronary Artery Disease; zebrafish; CRISPR-Cas9;

   Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death worldwide and atherosclerosis is the major cause of CAD. An unpublished, high-throughput proteomics approach recently identified two of these proteins – Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGFA) and Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP12) that were associated with incident CAD in Uppsala-based samples from the prospective investigation of the vascular in Uppsala Seniors (PIVUS) and the Uppsala longitudinal study of adult men studies (ULSAM).

6. 5. Platforms for Real-time Moving Object Location Stream Processing

   University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

   Author : Shérazade Gadhoumi; [2017]
   Keywords : Data Stream Management Systems; Data mining; Moving point patterns;

   Abstract : Boarder security is usually based on observing and analyzing the movement of MovingPoint Objects (MPOs): vehicle, boats, pedestrian or aircraft for example. This movementanalysis can directly be made by an operator observing the MPOs in real-time, but theprocess is time-consuming and approximate. READ MORE
