Experimental studies have suggested that autoimmunity is involved in atherosclerosis and provided evidence that both protective and pro-atherogenic immune responses exist. This concept has received support from small clinical studies implicating autoantibodies directed against apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) in human atherosclerosis. We examined circulating autoantibodies directed against native a

Den allmänna dataskyddsförordningen (förordningen) kommer att ersätta dataskyddsdirektivet (direktivet) år 2018. Europeiska kommissionen har ansett att direktivet inte längre ger det skydd av den personliga integriteten som enskilda har rätt till. Förordningen ska därför harmonisera reglerna, ge enskilda en ökad kontroll och samtidigt gynna den fria rörligheten av personuppgifter inom den EuropeisThe General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the Data Protection Directive (Directive) in 2018. The European Commission has stated that the Directive no longer provides the protection of personal integrity that individuals are entitled to. The GDPR will harmonize the rules and its purpose is to give individuals a greater control over their data and ensure the free movement of personal da

This master’s thesis investigates the possibility to integrate an existing vehicle model from Simulink into the main testing software, CANoe. The purpose of integrating this was to achieve autonomous testing of real driving scenarios in an electronic control unit. This would in turn simplify and thus improve the test environment and test procedure at BorgWarner. By utilizing a vehicle model simila

Den här uppsatsen ämnar belysa relevansen av feministisk kritik mot rättsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning och exempletsteriliseringspolitik och steriliseringslagstiftningar vill jag visa hur lagstiftningar reflekterar och återskapar normer tillhörande det samhällssystem inom vilken kontext de är stadgade i. Vidare vill jag visa att det är dessa normer och rådande system som lagstiftThis paper aims to discuss and underline the importance of critical feminist legal theory. Using an example of sterilisation politics, my aim is to show how jurisprudence claiming to be neutral instead tends to reflect and recreate the social system in which context it is founded. Thus resulting in unjust operation for underprivileged social groups. I use sterilisation politics and jurisprudence i

Arbetstid regleras i Rådets direktiv 93/104/EG av den 23 november 1993 om arbetstidens förläggning i vissa avseenden (arbetstidsdirektivet) och i svensk rätt av arbetstidslagen (1982:673) (ATL) som implementerar arbetstidsdirektivet. Direktivet syftar till att skydda arbetstagares hälsa och säkerhet på arbetsplatsen genom att reglera minimikrav för arbetstidens förläggning. Direktivet innehåller e

This work examines how the degree of responsibility, motivation and participation leads to high satisfaction in the work of technical personnel working on First Submarine Flotilla. The work is a theory-consuming case study that, with surveys and interviews, creates the basis for demonstrating through theory how high job satisfaction can be achieved. The result specifies the First Submarine Flotill

In 2018 90 billion tonnes of raw material was extracted globally. It is estimated 20% of this went to waste and with the quickening pace of global metabolism this figure is predicted to have doubled by 2060. In the context of the Anthropocene we need to reduce this incessant cycle of mass extraction and production of waste, change the production systems from linear to cyclic and prove for industri

Wound botulism is a growing problem among injecting drug users. The condition is often difficult to diagnose, with laboratory confirmation in only 50% of the cases. Here we present a real-time PCR-based method for the diagnosis of wound botulism caused by Clostridium botulinum. The assay includes an internal amplification control which is amplified simultaneously with the genes encoding neurotoxin
