Parasitter og cytokiner i en naturlig populasjon I naturen finner vi utallige eksempler på arter som har spesialisert seg på å utnytte andre arter for næring, trygghet og overlevelse. Denne spesialiseringen kalles parasitisme, og har ofte en kostnad for verten i form av redusert helse og livskvalitet. Hos däggdjur, er en stor parasittgruppe innvollsparasitter. nematoder som lever i tarmene og sugAbstract In nature, the coexistence of parasites and hosts has been an important factor in evolution of the immune system, which can be found in all plants and animals. As parasitic infections are by definition affect overall fitness of the host, it is important for the host to be able to counteract the detrimental effects of infections. To ensure this, signaling molecules, known as cytokines, e

Background: Previous studies have shown the importance of good communication (GC) within the medical encounter; with patients‟ increased adherence and improved health, more effective consultations and more satisfied patients and physicians. Since society and the concept of GC have evolved over time it is important to continue the research on the characteristics of GC. Objective: To explore how GC

Syftet med denna undersökning är att mot bakgrund av nationella handlingsplaner och riktlinjer för funktionsnedsattas inkludering undersöka hur dessa överensstämmer med musik- och kulturskolors verksamhet. Med musik- och kulturskolan i fokus syftar också denna undersökning till att kritiskt granska inkluderingsarbetet i den reguljära verksamheten vid utvalda musik- och kulturskolor. Även musikpedaTitle: Inclusion of pupils with functional deficits in music and cultural schools The major aims of the study are to investigate the extent to which the activities of music and cultural schools that many children in Sweden can attend in their free time are consistent with the plans and guiding principles adopted in Sweden for primary and secondary school education, to examine critically the inclus

Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt år 2021, med ett starkt rättspolitiskt motiverat perspektiv – att skydda och stärka ställningen för barn som tvingades bevittna våld mellan närståendepersoner. Innan bestämmelsen trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning fanns det inte något annat skydd. Av den anledningen redogörs detta kort för genom uppsatsen, för att ge läsaren en förståelse om hur bestämmelsThe child protection offense was introduced into Swedish law in 2021, with a strong legal policy perspective - to protect and strengthen the position of children who were forced to witness violence between close persons. Prior to the entry into force of the provision in Swedish law, there was no other protection. For this reason, this is briefly described throughout the paper, to give the reader a

This thesis deploys ethnographic tools in a qualitative case study to explore the internet community, Female Dating Strategy (FDS). As narratives surrounding the “crisis of masculinity” are popularised within politics and mainstream media, the objective of research becomes to scrutinise these conceptualisations. This thesis does so by focusing on the field of intimacy and sexuality, by raising the

Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans

Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. This master thesis is written as a part of the tech-no-economic analysi

The Brazilian LGBT movement has established in the last decades a strategy of action based on the achievement of social transformations through law. The struggle for human rights has become the focal point of the LGBT agenda in the country. For this reason, the linkages between the Brazilian LGBT movement and the law have multiplied. Having the objective of reflecting on the articulations arising

Under anaerobic condition the specific growth rate of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM 17938 on different sugars, was analyzed using spectrophotometry. Electron acceptor (fructose) supported cells to cope with poor energy recovery by re-oxidising the NADH, thus enabling ATP formation thru acetate production, while fermenting glucose via the phosphoketolase pathway (PKP) and simultaneously operating via E

Bio-based plastics are increasingly considered as sustainable alternatives to fossil-based plastics. Up until now, their application in the food packaging industry has been limited. The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of bio-based polymer packaging films for bakery products, herbs and spices in the meal kit industry context and to assess their contribution towards a more

The European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to explore how the ownership transfer from a developed country to a developing country influences consumers’ perception of the brand. Design/methodology/approach: After the extensive review of the literature about the concept of country of origin and brand image, three premium automobile brand acquisition cases (Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo) were investigated.

Thesis Purpose: This study has a twofold purpose. First, the authors want to contribute to research on idea evaluation in the fuzzy front end by specifically shedding light on the food industry as this sector differs from other industries (Galizzi & Venturini, 1996; Tidd & Bessant, 2014; Triguero, Córcoles & Cuerva, 2013). Second, different evaluation criteria will be outlined for high

Immigrant entrepreneurs who get involved in the restaurant industry face different challenges to promote their restaurants and attract new customers. However, immigrant entrepreneurs’ cultural capital is an important asset that can be exploited to overcome these challenges. This paper seeks to identify and explore what is the cultural capital that immigrant entrepreneurs use as marketing strategie

Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t
