Aims: To genetically sub-type Campylobacter jejuni strains isolated from migratory birds, and to compare these with clinical strains collected in the same area and corresponding time period, with the aim to increase our knowledge on sub-types occurring among wild birds and their possible impact on human disease. Methods and Results: We sub-typed C. jejuni strains from migrating birds (n = 89) and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att med hjälp av datorsimuleringar studera laddade polymerers (polyelektrolyters) växelverkan med motsatt laddade sfäriska makrojoner. Redan nu kan en icke kemikunnig person bli helt borttappad, ty: 1. Vad är en polymer? 2. Vad är en sfärisk makrojon? 3. Växelverkan mellan polymer och makrojon? 4. Datorsimuleringar? 5. Vad är dPolyelectrolytes are polymers bearing ionisable groups, which, in polar solvents, can dissociate into charged polymer chains (polyelectrolytes) and small counterions. In aqueous solutions, polyelectrolytes interact strongly with other macroions and in particular they tend to associate with objects of opposite charge and form complexes. Nearly all industrial and biological process involves solution

Popular Abstract in Swedish Spraytorkning är ett vanligt sätt att tillverka partiklar från en lösning. Genom att finfördela lösningen med hjälp av gas i ett spraymunstycke bildas miljontals små vätskedroppar, som blandas med varm torkgas i en torkkammare. Då avdunstar vätskan och fasta, torra partiklar bildas. Tekniken kan användas för att tillverka inhalationspartiklar för användning som läkemede

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den i Malmö verksamme arkitekten Harald Boklund (1868-1924) är avhandlingens huvudperson. Vi får följa hans liv och verksamhet från direktörsvåningen på Konstakademien i Stockholm, över studie- och praktikåren i kejsartidens Berlin och det produktiva kompanjonskapet med August Lindvall i industrialismens Malmö till hans roll som föreningsmänniska, arkitekt, kritiker ochThe major part of this thesis is dedicated to a biography of the Swedish architect Harald Boklund (1868-1924), but also deals with the problematic concepts of cosmopolitism, regionalism and National romanticism i Scanian architecture 1890-1930. Harald Boklund was the son of Johan Boklund, a famous painter and director of the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Harald Boklund got his educati

Background: Within 5 years following radical prostatectomy, between 15 and 60% of patients with pT3 prostate carcinomas show an increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as a sign of local and/or systemic tumour progression. Adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for positive margins (RI) aims to reduce residual tumour cells in the prostatic bed, thus possibly reducing the biochemical progression rate. Apart

Time-series of varve properties and geochemistry were established from varved sediments of Lake Woserin (north-eastern Germany) covering the recent period AD 2010–1923 and the mid-Holocene time-window 6400–4950 varve years before present (vyr BP) using microfacies analyses, x-ray fluorescence (µ-XRF) scanning, microscopic varve chronology, and 14C dating. The microscopic varve chronology was compa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sedan 1960-talet har det varit möjligt att transplantera organ från en människa till en annan. Transplantation är den enda behandlingsmetoden när hjärta, lungor eller lever är obotligt skadade. För njursjuka finns dialys som ett alternativ, även om transplantation oftast är ett bättre alternativ. Ett stort problem är att kroppens immunförsvar inte accepterar det nya orTransplantation is the only cure for end-stage organ failure. With the transplantation follows the need for continuous treatment with immunosuppressive agents for as long as the graft functions, which entails major side effects. Less toxic treatments are therefore in great demand. Preferably, the treatment should also be limited in time. The ultimate solution would be induction of tolerance to t

Semenogelin I and II (Sgl, Sgll) are two separate gene products of chromosome 20 with extensive (80%) identity in primary structure. They are mainly responsible for immediate gel formation of freshly ejaculated semen. Degradation of Sgl and Sgll is due to the proteolytic action of prostate-specific antigen (PSA); it results within 5-15 minutes in liquefaction of semen and release of progressively

Arbetets syfte är att utforska begreppen klimatanpassning, risk och resiliens i förhållande till havsnära stadsutvecklingsprojekt, samt hur planerare och andra kommunala tjänstemän förhåller sig till dessa. För att erhålla en förståelse om det, utfördes en fallstudie av Oceanhamnen i Helsingborg såväl som fem semi-strukturerade intervjuer med planerare och andra kommunala tjänstemän, som har på olThe aim of this paper is to gain an understanding of the concepts of climate adaptation, risk and resilience in relation to coastal and waterfront development, as well as how planners and other municipal officials approach these matters. To gain an understanding of this, a case study was conducted on the new waterfront development called Oceanhamnen in Helsingborg. Furthermore, five semi-structure

Background One of Alfa Laval’s factories in Lund, LA, has noticed that up to 50% of all order proposals suggested by their ERP system JEEVES is considered to be irrelevant and are subsequently disregarded by the purchasers. Consequently, many purchasers disregard the parameters in JEEVES that control what proposals get suggested and instead order on “gut-feeling” and personal experience. Not only

States are increasingly applying economic means of power to pursue political objectives. The Chinese geo-economic mega-project the Belt and Road Initiative is the worlds foremost example of this trend. At the heart of this strategy, both geographically and strategically, is the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. This infrastructure project, worth approximately $62 billion, is expected to revitalise

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research on open access and institutional repositories between the years 2002-2016. 2002 was seen as a natural starting point because of the Budapest Open Access Initiative and represents a pivotal point in the history of open access. Further, the paper aims to analyze the positioning of institutional repositories within open acc

Aim: The overall aim of this study is to define post-crisis recovery as well as gain a deeper understanding of the strategies that corporate brands use in order to recover from a crisis. Theoretical Perspective: The research takes a strategic brand management perspective in order to define recovery as well as how corporate brands recover from a crisis. The previous literature that is utilized ha

The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of the ability of educational interventions to improve strategic thinking. It does this both by contributing to the available empirical data on the development of strategic thinking ability and by exploring potential; avenues of research, intervention designs, study designs, sampling issues and analysis problems, for future studies as part
