B cells are thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV). ANCAs have been proposed to cause vasculitis by activating primed neutrophils to damage small blood vessels. We studied a cohort of AAV patients of which a majority were in remission and diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Using flow cytomet

This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the in vitro, animal, and clinical studies with the bacterial strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v (L. plantarum 299v; formerly named Lactobacillus plantarum 299v) published up until June 30, 2020. L. plantarum 299v is the most documented L. plantarum strain in the world, described in over 170 scientific publications out of which more th

Quantification of land surface-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and their trends and uncertainties is essential for monitoring progress of the EU27+UK bloc as it strives to meet ambitious targets determined by both international agreements and internal regulation. This study provides a consolidated synthesis of fossil sources (CO2 fossil) and natural (including formally managed ecosystems

Background and objectiveOrganised prostate cancer (PCa) testing (OPT) was introduced in Sweden to gain knowledge in preparation for a potential national PCa screening programme. This study aims to explore men’s opinions regarding the OPT invitation letters and the attitudes influencing their decision to participate in or decline OPT.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with 30

The accumulation of studies delimiting species in Amazonia has not only shed light on the patterns of its outstanding species richness but also allowed a better understanding of the processes of diversification within this immense region. Nevertheless, vast knowledge gaps remain even for prominent anuran species complexes, such as the Rhinella margaritifera species group. This clade of toads compr

The identification of susceptible dust sources (SDSs) based on the analysis of effective factors (i.e. dust drivers) is considered to be one of the primary and cost-effective solutions to deal with this phenomenon. Accordingly, this study aimed to identify SDSs and delineate their drivers using remote sensing data and machine learning (ML) algorithms in a hotspot area in the Lower Mesopotamian flo

Biological aerosol particles affect human health, are essential for microbial and gene dispersal, and have been proposed as important agents for atmospheric processes. However, the abundance and size distributions of atmospheric biological particles are largely unknown. In this study we used a laser-induced fluorescence instrument to measure fluorescent biological aerosol particle (FBAP) concentra

Background: Plaque analysis with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a promising tool to identify high risk of future coronary events. The analysis process is time-consuming, and requires highly trained readers. Deep learning models have proved to excel at similar tasks, however, training these models requires large sets of expert-annotated training data. The aims of this study were

Transporten i och genom de biologiska membranerna är väldigt viktig och har många applikationer i mat- och läkemedel industrier. Dessa membranerna består av dubbel-lager av lipid molekyler. Genom att blanda två olika sorter av lipiderna diglycerolmonooleate (DGMO) och glycerol monooleate (GMO-50) med nano-partikelstabilisatorpolysorbate 80 (P80) i överskott av vatten skapar det en lipidblandning m

Asphalt is the most common material on the roads visible to our eyes. Asphalt occurs as both wearing coat and bearing coat. Asphalt consists of rock material in different grain sizes joined by a binder, bitumen, and eventually added additives. Bitumen is extracted from crude oil. Asphalt mastics is bitumen mixed with filler. Filler is stone material that completely passes a 0.074 mm sieve. Both bi

Under de senaste 30 åren har en ny metod för att få information om tidigare ekosystem utveck- lats, nämligen att analysera gammalt (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). Denna forskningsgren är fortfarande ung men har redan hittat många områden inom vilka den kan tillämpas. Inom paleoekologin finns det två huvudsakliga ändamål med aDNA-analyser; att kartlägga en arts hela genom, samt att bestämma antal taxa och During the last 30 years a new method for obtaining information about past ecosystems has been devel- oped, namely to analyse old (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). This research field is still young but has already found many areas within which it can be applied. In palaeoecology, there are two main purposes with aDNA analyses; to map the entire genome of a species, and to determine the number of taxa, and

Problem definition: The production, sale and consumption of ready to eat-vegetables and salads have increased at a frantic pace over the last decade and this trend shows signs of continuing. This very much depends on that ready to eat-salads are minimally processed and contain no artificial additives. They also retain a large amount of their nutrients after harvest and do not require any preparat

Denna uppsats behandlar medling vid brott, samt åtalsunderlåtelseinstitutet avseende unga lagöverträdare, som regleras i 17§ i lagen (1964:167) med särskilda bestämmelser om unga lagöverträdare (LUL). Mitt huvudsakliga syfte är att genom en kvalitativ undersökning försöka utröna i hur stor omfattning och på vilket sätt som medlingsinstitutet påverkar åklagarnas val att meddela åtalsunderlåtelse inThis essay addresses victim-offender mediation and the institution of abstention from prosecution with regard to young offenders. Focus will be on Section 17 of the Young Offenders (Special Provisions) Act (LUL - 1964:167), as my primary aim is to ascertain, by means of a qualitative investigation, to what extent and in what ways the Swedish National Mediation Office influences a prosecutor's

Standard-setting is undoubtedly beneficial to society. Its foremost advantage is that it ensures interoperability between products and thereby increases consumer welfare. Standardization covers a wide range of activities, but for the purpose of this thesis it can be defined as activities that set technical specifications that seek to provide a common design for a product or process. Standards thus

Main title: Trading-intense housing environments. City centers tend to condense – these pieces of land are attractive for many different purposes. Co-using of buildings becomes more and more usual. For instance there are on-going investigations regarding how to create attractive residential environments close to shopping areas with high traffic density. In many places, the vision is a mixed-use ne

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical

In this paper, we investigate a Multi-layer Aerial system for GenAI inference at the Edge (MAGE). Therein, ground user equipments (UEs) request image synthesis services from a remote base station (BS) that leverages the Latent Diffusion Model (LDM) for image generation. Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are deployed to serve the UEs for relaying their images and prompts to the BS. To reduce

De s.k. fåmansföretagsreglerna i 57 kap. IL syftar till att motverka att aktiva delägare omvandlar arbetsinkomster till lägre beskattade kapitalinkomster. När utomstående passiva delägare äger viss andel av bolaget blir en inkomstomvandling inte längre fördelaktig. I 57 kap. 5 § finns därför en undantagsregel från de särskilda beskattningsreglerna i 57 kap. IL, den s.k. utomståenderegeln. Om incitThe 3:12 rules, found in Chapter 57 of the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229), consists of special tax rules which apply to active owners in closely held corporations (fåmansföretag). The rules aim to prevent active owners from transforming salary income into lower taxed capital income. If passive owners have an ownership of at least 30 % of the shares, income shifting is no longer beneficial. The
