Moraxella catarrhalis is a major cause of exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysema. M. catarrhalis–specific UspA1 and the epithelial carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule (CEACAM1) were required to induce apoptosis. M. catarrhalis–induced apoptosis was significantly enhanced in HeLa cells stably transfected with CEACAM1, compared with HeLa cells

In a number of autoimmune diseases, for example, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, it is known that autoantibodies are present before the clinical onset. Recently we have shown that autoantibodies can be found many years before symptom onset in primary Sjögren's syndrome. This implies that screening for autoantibodies may be used to identify individuals at risk of developing s

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to analyse the discourse of accessibility at the Regional Archives in Lund. The focal point of the study is the interaction between the archivist and the user of the archival records, which stems from questions regarding how archival records are mediated in the dialogue between the archivist and the user, and if the archive’s construct of access is perceived as a

I Sverige finns ett antal webbplatser som samlar in offentliga handlingar och tillgängliggör dessa genom en söktjänst. Internetanvändare kan genom en sådan söktjänst, ofta efter erlagd betalning, till exempel se om någon förekommer i en fällande brottmålsdom. Webbplatserna är grundlagsskyddade genom utgivningsbevis. Möjligheten att ansöka om utgivningsbevis finns sedan 2003 genom en bestämmelse i In Sweden, there are a number of websites that collect public documents and make them available through a search service. Internet users can use such a search service, often after paying a fee, to find out, for example, whether someone appears in a criminal conviction. The websites are protected by a publishing license, a possibility that has been included in the Swedish Freedom of Expression Act

Det internationella skattesamarbetet har under en längre tid definierats av en vilja att motarbeta dubbelbeskattning av enskilda skattebetalare. Det främsta sättet på vilket detta har tagit uttryck är de många bilaterala skatteavtalen som finns mellan olika stater idag. I ett sådant avtal regleras beskattningen av en gränsöverskridande transaktion eller affärsverksamhet mellan de två avtalsslutandThe international tax law system has for a long time been defined by its prevention of double taxation of the taxpayers. The main way in which this work has been undertaken has been the many bilateral tax agreements that exist between states today. These agreements regulate the taxation rights between two states in a case of a cross-border transaction or arrangement. In that way it is possible for

The NPM is considered as an efficacious way to improve effectiveness and efficiency in management control of public health for its market-driven and market-driving characteristics. Theoretically, it is a hybrid of economics and business management in public management. Because of its advanced adaptability and flexibility, the NPM has been widely applied to many fields and yield results. In China’s

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors on the business potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example. And to give recommendations on how a dairy producer, which is present in the Swedish market, could improve the sales rates of products with health claims. We have chosen to put a main focus on the consumer, as he or she determines the b

There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen

This article looks at three Swedish books of poetry from this century: Johan Jönson’s Efter arbetsschema (2008), UKON’s Brukaren (2011) and Lars Mikael Raattamaa’s Kommunismen (2015). What these books share is a combination of an explicit critique of life in the late capitalist (Scandinavian) welfare state and an experimental, perhaps post-poetic, practice based on seriality and quotation. Another

Slättbygdslandskap saknar i stort födoresurser för pollinerande insekter. Insådd av blommande remsor har blivit allt vanligare runtom i Europa, som en del av ländernas miljöstödsprogram och som ett sätt att öka tillgången på blomresurser. Länder som England, Österrike och Tyskland har exempelvis miljöstöd för blommande remsor. Flera andra länder, bl.a. Sverige har ersättning för blommande ytor som

Esophageal lesions are common findings in disorders of the digestive tract in patients living with HIV, the most typical symptoms being odynophagia and/or dysphagia. This article provides a narrative review of the spectrum of esophagitis in patients living with HIV, focusing on fungal, viral, bacterial and non-infectious etiologies, as well as co-infections with viral hepatitis viruses. The articl

Introduction Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose… Kris Kristofferson Whereas thecurrent debate on holding States accountable for extraterritorial human rights violations tends to focus on ‘jurisdiction’ or related concepts (such as ‘effective control’), the analogous public international law discourse on State responsibility appears to take a different path, managing to cope witho
