Streptococcus pyogenes is an exclusively human pathogen that can provoke mild skin and throat infections but can also cause fatal septicemia. This gram-positive bacterium has developed several strategies to evade the human immune system, enabling S. pyogenes to survive in the host. These strategies include recruiting several human plasma proteins, such as the complement inhibitor, C4b-binding prot

This chapter aims to encourage tourism researchers to widen their scope of method when studying tourist behavior. It does so by debating tracking mobility and planning exercises as meaningful complements in researchers’ method repertoire. Both methods have been found to reflect tourist behavior in a more accurate way than do, for example, surveys and interviews, which rather mirror what tourists s
This thesis explores the European Commission’s proposal on General Reverse Charge Mechanism. VAT is a final tax on consumption. It is imposed on every transaction in the supply chain with the general aim of being deductible and thus being neutral for businesses with the right to deduct. The initial aim of the VAT system was to operate as if all the transactions occurred in one single country; howe
Coordination of Official Development Assistance (ODA) has been an important topic in debates focused on improving the outcomes of international development. The subject assumes particular importance with the expected increase of ODA flows to support developing countries addressing climate change-related issues. The case of Mozambique is of special relevance due to the heightened consequences of cl
RNA medicines represent a paradigm shift in treatment and prevention of critical diseases of global significance, e.g., infectious diseases. The highly successful messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were developed at record speed during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A consequence of this is exceptionally shortened vaccine deve
Video capsule endoscopy (VCE), perfomed by ingesting a small vitamin-sized camera pill, was developed over a period of a couple of decades and –since its introduction in clinical practice at the dawn of the millennium– has become an essential tool in the diagnosis and management of small bowel (SB) diseases. At the same time, other fields such as minimally invasive diagnosis of other parts of the
Neurotrophic factors are candidates for treating epilepsy, but their development has been hampered by difficulties in achieving stable and targeted delivery of efficacious concentrations within the desired brain region. We have developed an encapsulated cell technology that overcomes these obstacles by providing a targeted, continuous, de novo synthesized source of high levels of neurotrophic mole
Sweden was the first country in the world to introduce rules on transparency in public activities - the principle of public access to official records was introduced as early as 1766 as part of the Freedom of the Press Act of 1766. This legislation, which was unique at the time, has since meant that Sweden has had public access to official records and transparency as the main rule for public activ
The proteoglycan decorin stabilizes collagen whereas biglycan and hyaluronan disrupt well-organized collagen. The aim was to determine the concentrations of these constituents in fetal membranes in relation to gestational age, preterm labour, PPROM and chorioamnionitis.
A previous caesarean delivery is no longer an indication per se for a subsequent, planned caesarean. We performed this study to identify women suitable for trial of labour after caesarean (TOLAC), investigating the association between the indication for the first caesarean and the risk of unplanned caesarean in the second pregnancy.
Försörjningskedjan har stor potential till optimering. Många olika delar av kedjan kan optimeras och alla tänkbara förbättringar har inte testats än. Denna studien har sitt fokus på ruttoptimering, med det specifika målet att förstå hur maskininlärning kan användas inom ruttplanering, samt hur nyckelfaktorer som påverkar restiden för en rutt kan tas i åtanke för problemet. Tid lades på att studerThe supply chain has potential for growth. Many different parts can be optimized, and every possible improvement has not yet been tested. This study focuses on route optimization with the specific goal of figuring out how machine learning can be applied to route planning and how key factors that impact travel time for a route can be taken into account for this problem. Time was dedicated to learn
