To determine which chemokine receptors might be involved in T lymphocyte localization to the intestinal mucosa, we examined receptor expression on human intestinal lamina propria lymphocytes (LPL), intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) and CD45RO+beta7hi gut homing peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). Virtually all LPL and IEL expressed CXCR3 and CCR5, receptors that have been associated with Th1(Tc1)/

In this chapter, we explore whether eyeblinks can be used as a measurementof spectators’ narrative transportation into a cinematic narrative. In ourexperiment, we show that spectators’ eyeblinks increase when watchingfilm clips together with what might be called congruent music. Increasedeyeblinks indicate an emotional arousal that motivates attention, whichin turn is a prerequisite for narrative

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Polymorphic molecules expressed on the surface of certain blood cells are traditionally categorized as blood groups and human platelet or neutrophil antigens. CD36 is widely considered a platelet antigen (Nak a ) and anti-CD36 can cause foetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) in CD36-negative pregnant women. CD36 is used as a marker of differentiation in earl

Vision is often considered to top the hierarchy of the senses, reflected for example in the high relative frequency of vision verbs, in comparison to other perception verbs. Results from some previous studies, however, have shown that there is greater cross-linguistic variation concerning perception language than previously thought, emphasising other sense modalities than vision. This thesis condu

Making Europe climate neutral by 2050 is the primary goal of the European Green Deal. This goal has given rise to sustainable finance and action plans for financing sustainable growth. Such commitment is ensured by the legal initiatives put forward by the Commission. The Non-Financial Reporting Directive introduced the requirements for some firms to produce a sustainability report based on disclos

Lasers and masers have numerous uses in today’s society. Improving our understanding of the underlying physics and its application is thus of great importance. In this paper, the physics of a three-level maser when treated as a heat-engine was investigated: certain levels were coupled to thermal-reservoirs, effectively allowing for pumping without an external bias. The thermodynamical treatment fo

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad som får elever att börja spela brassinstrument och vilka faktorer som motiverar dem till att fortsätta på Musik- och Kulturskolan. Bakgrunden till studien är att antalet elever på brassinstrumenten i Musik- och Kulturskolorna har minskat i Sverige under lång tid. Data består av gruppintervjuer med 11 elever i tre åldersbaserade grupper. Resultatet viThe purpose of this study is to investigate what motivates students to begin playing a brass instrument and the factors that motivate them to continue in the Community School of Music and Arts. The background for this study is that the number of students on brass instruments in the Community Schools of Music and Arts in Sweden has been decreasing for many years. Data collection was performed thro

This thesis explores current trends in social and political organising in Northern Syria, in areas controlled by the PYD. The research is built on discussions between eight participants from the Syrian Kurdish-speaking community living in the areas. While most discourses on Syria and the Kurdish-speaking community have a macro-political focus and produce racialising descriptions of “Kurdishness” i

This report is the result of a fire safety evaluation of the Royal Opera in Stockholm. This report was written as a project by students at the fire protection engineering program at Lund University. The objective of the evaluation is to ensure successful egress of visitors of the Royal Opera in case of fire. No concern has been taken of environmental or economical damage nor the safety of the staf

The diagnosis of syphilis is most frequently dependent on antibody detection with serological assays. Assays for both treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies are needed to provide a sensitive and specific diagnosis. For decades, a first screening has been done with non-treponemal assays, followed by treponemal. However, in recent years, following laboratory automation, the reverse sequence screen

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is characterized by mesangial cell proliferation and extracellular matrix expansion associated with immune deposits consisting of galactose-deficient polymeric IgA1 and C3. We have previously shown that IgA-binding regions of streptococcal M proteins colocalize with IgA in mesangial immune deposits in patients with IgAN. In the present study, the IgA-binding M4 protein from

Despite an abundance of peptides inside a cell, only a small fraction is ultimately presented by HLA-I on the cell surface. The presented peptides have HLA-I allomorph-specific motifs and are restricted in length. So far, detailed length studies have been limited to few allomorphs. Peptide-HLA-I (pHLA-I) complexes of different allomorphs are qualitatively and quantitatively influenced by tapasin t
