Påverkar antalet patogener variationen hos immungener? Hur många olika patogener (sjukdomsframkallande organismer) ens immunsystem kan bekämpa beror delvis på hur hög s.k. MHC-diversitet man har (MHC = Major Histocompatibility Complex). Populationer med hög patogenbelastning förväntas ha en högre MHC-diversitet än populationer med lägre patogenbelastning. Klimat-förändringarna förväntas leda tilThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is important for adaptive immunity where the MHC molecules bind and present peptides from pathogens to T cells. The peptide binding repertoire of an individual’s MHC molecules determines what pathogens can be recognised by the immune system, and the MHC peptide binding repertoire is therefore under strong selection from pathogens. Parasite and pathogen di

Implication of DNAJ co-chaperones in Neurodegenerative diseases General improvements of human life conditions at different levels translate into an increasingly growing life span expectancy of the earth population. This, however comes with the cost of an increase in neurodegenerative diseases which broadly increases in frequency with age. Most age related brain diseases such as Parkinson’s dis

Det kan konstateras utan vidare att den världen som vi lever i håller på att bli allt mer digitaliserad. Människor kommunicerar på Facebook, beställer varor på Amazon och använder sig av Google Search för att komma åt allting som Internetet har att erbjuda. En gemensam nämnare för dessa tjänster är att de erbjuds gratis. Affärsmodellen för dessa företag är istället att maximera upptagningen av dat

Uppsatsen fokuserar på privat skadeståndstalan vid konkurrensrättsliga överträdelser och på det nya direktivet 2014/104/EU, om vissa regler som styr skadeståndstalan enligt nationell rätt avseende överträdelser av medlemsstaternas och Europeiska unionens konkurrensrättsliga bestämmelser. Enligt unionsrätten har alla enskilda aktörer rätt till ersättning för skada som uppkommit till följd av en öveThe main focus of this thesis are private actions for damages due to infringements of the antitrust rules and the new directive 2014/104/EU, on certain rules governing actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions of the Member States and of the European Union. According to European union law, all private actors are entitled to compensation for damages

Sammanfattning Det civilrättsliga förbudet mot etnisk diskriminering i arbetslivet som har funnits sedan 1994 har resulterat i få fällande domar och har i tidigare forskning beskrivits som ineffektivt. Jag har i denna uppsats jämfört tillämpningen av diskrimineringsförbudet i arbetslivet med andra områden för att undersöka om det finns faktorer som påverkar effektiviteten inom arbetslivsområdet. Summary In 1994, Sweden passed a law prohibiting discrimination in work life on the basis of ethnicity. This Discrimination Act has led to few convictions and has been described by scholars as inefficient. This thesis analyses the courts’ enforcement of the prohibition of discrimination in working life compared to its enforcement in other areas of society. Critical Race Theory is used to problem

Drift av kärnkraftverk och andra kärntekniska anläggningar resulterar i radioaktivt avfall. Att mäta och karakterisera detta avfall finns det ett stort behov av då en tunna med radioaktivt avfall hamnar i olika förvar beroende på hur högaktivt och långlivat innehållet är. Visar det sig att avfallet är tillräckligt lågaktivt kan innehållet friklassas, d.v.s. att hantering/användning av materialet kIn order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg

Individualization of Children: A Critical Discourse Study of Childrens' Competence in Public Texts on Social Care of Children The aim of this study is to critically examine and discuss overarching notions and discourses on children and individualization, with a starting point in public texts within the field of social work with children. The empirical material has been two SOU-reports (“Swedi

DivIVA, ett protein med spetskompetens Streptomyceter är jordbakterier som bildar mycel medförgrenade hyfer mycket likt hur många svampar växer. Bakterierna i detta släkte är kända producenter av antibiotika och omkring två tredjedelar av all antibiotika tillgänglig idag produceras av streptomyceter och deras släktingar. Förutom deras produktion av antibiotika så har streptomyceterna en unik livsStreptomyces species are filamentous bacteria from the phylum Actinobacteria in which cell elongation occurs at the poles of the cell. This differs from many other bacteria like Escherichia coli where cell elongation occurs by insertion of peptidoglycan in the lateral wall. An essential protein for polar growth in Streptomyces is the coil-coiled protein DivIVA. DivIVA has an essential role in orch

This thesis examines the emerging scene of ensemble playing in Swedish traditional music from the beginning of the 1980s until present day. It is focused around eight interviews with some of the most influential musicians on the scene. All of them are still active today both as performers and teachers. The theoretical framework is mainly based around two different standpoints; Narrative analysis a

In the last few years, we have seen an emerging activity among library institutions to release their catalogue data under the terms that are often referred to as “linked, open data”. The linked, open data concept brings some new features to the practice of bibliographic data exchange: It is done in a linked data environment following the technical principles of what is called the “semantic web”. I

This study presents an empirical investigation of i) testing the Granger Causality between economic growth and aggregated carbon dioxide (CO2) emission; and economic growth and disaggregated CO2 emission from burning fossil fuel coal, oil and natural gas respectively; ii) the potential impact on economic growth if countries substitute CO2 emission from dirty energy, coal, by emission from relative

Sammanfattning Integritet i arbetslivet är, delvis på grund av ny och allt billigare teknik inom området, en högst aktuell fråga idag som skär tvärs igenom alla nivåer i arbetslivet. Hanteringen av personanknuten information ökar och de metoder som används för att samla in och bearbeta personuppgifter förfinas hela tiden. Samtidigt är övervakning i arbetslivet knappast något nytt fenomen. Även deSummary As a result of new and cheaper technology in surveillance, integrity in the workforce is a highly relevant question that cuts through all levels of the workforce. Handling of personal information is increasing, and the methods used to collect and process personal information is constantly refined. Meanwhile surveillance in the workplace is no new phenomenon. Even the very first theorists

De nationella domstolarna intar en central roll i den Europeiska unionens judiciella system men är inte helt fria att på egen hand bedöma unionsrättsliga frågor. I denna uppsats undersöks hur utrymmet för nationella domstolar till självständiga unionsrättsliga bedömningar begränsas av den skyldighet att begära förhandsavgörande som kan följa av artikel 267 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktiNational courts occupy a central role in the judicial system of the European Union, but they are not completely free to apply Union law independently. This paper examines the extent to which the national courts are limited by an obligation to request a preliminary ruling under Article 267 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, when it comes to assessing questions of EU law indepen

Popular Abstract in Swedish En välfungerande andning med utbyte av syrgas och koldioxid mellan kroppen och omgivningen är en förutsättning för liv. För att detta gasutbyte ska fungera krävs bl. a. att ventilationen, dvs. in- och utflödet av luft i lungorna, står i balans med blodflödet genom lungorna. I lungorna tar blodet emot syrgas som behövs för att cellerna i kroppen ska fungera och samtidigtRespiration relies, among other things, on the balance between regional ventilation and perfusion in the lungs. There are many cardiopulmonary diseases, such as pulmonary embolism (PE), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left heart failure (LHF), which can affect respiration negatively. The diagnosis of PE, COPD and LHF follows separate diagnostic pathways. However, the symptoms that

Several organic cations, such as guanidino compounds and polyamines, have been found to accumulate in plasma of patients with kidney failure due to inadequate renal clearance. Here, we studied the interaction of cationic uremic toxins with renal organic cation transport in a conditionally immortalized human proximal tubule epithelial cell line (ciPTEC). Transporter activity was measured and valida

Plant size is a major predictor of ecological functioning. We tested the hypothesis that feeding damage to plants increases with plant size, as the conspicuousness of large plants makes resource finding and colonisation easier. Further, large plants can be attractive to herbivores, as they offer greater amounts and ranges of resources and niches, but direct evidence from experiments testing size e

A spinel-type catalyst of the composition Fe(2.50(1-z/3))V(0.20(1-z/3))Mo(0.30(1-z/3))square(z)O(4), where z is the number of cation vacancies (El), was prepared under reducing atmosphere. From the reduced sample a number of preoxidized samples were made by TPO treatment of the reduced material to different end temperatures ranging from 150 to 450 degrees C. XRD shows that the spinel-type structur

Background There are plausible mechanisms for how dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, could prevent Crohn's disease (CD). Aim To conduct a prospective study to investigate the association between increased intake of DHA and risk of CD. Methods Overall, 229702 participants were recruited from nine European centres between 1991 and 1998. At recruitment, dietary int
