Var går gränsen för vilka avvikelser från samhällets grundvalar som kan tolereras? När så kallade pietister framträdde i Sverige vid 1700-talets början uppstod en ny problematik kring toleransens gränser i Sveriges historia. Till skillnad från i övriga Europa hade dessförinnan religiösa avvikare inte funnits i någon större omfattning. Pietisterna uppfattades som ett hot mot den gemensamma religion

A massive population growth in cities is currently being witnessed in most countries around the world. As urban populations grow, cities eventually expand geographically into what was considered countryside and nowadays distinguishing between what is city and what is countryside is getting increasingly difficult. In many Western countries, it is being observed that areas near cities seem to capita

AIM: The relative roles(s) of impaired insulin secretion vs. insulin resistance in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus depend upon multiple risk factors and diagnostic criteria. Here, we explored their relative contribution to gestational diabetes as defined by the WHO 1999 (GDM1999) and adapted WHO 2013 (GDM2013) criteria, excluding the 1-h glucose value, in a high-risk Indian popula

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is a soft tissue neoplasm with a predilection for the hands and feet in children and adolescents. Its molecular basis is unknown. We used chromosome banding analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq), RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry to characterize a series of CAFs. An insertion ins(2;4)(q35;q25q?) was identified in the index

In an earlier study, infection of human pancreatic islets with epidemic strains of echovirus (E4, E16, E30), with proven but differently ability to induce islet autoimmunity, resulted either in a severe damage (i.e. E16 and E30) or proceeded without visible changes in infected islets (i.e. E4). In this study, the ability of these strains to replicate in beta cells and the consequence of such an in

The design and features of frequency-selective wallpaper created for attachment onto regular walls in order to filter out signals operating at 5 GHz while at the same time allowing the desired radio communication services to propagate through such walls are presented. An analysis of the characteristics of the radio channel evaluated in a typical indoor environment, when considering either regular

Recent animal studies have shown that D-glucose is a potential biodegradable MRI contrast agent for imaging glucose uptake in tumors. Here, we show the first translation of that use of D-glucose to human studies. Chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) MRI at a single frequency offset optimized for detection of hydroxyl protons in D-glucose (glucoCEST) was used to image dynamic signal changes

This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of the activity played out by the users in the physical library room. The study focuses users different activities and therefor also some of the activities made by librarians. The aim of this study is to put light on the activity played out by the user of the physical room at the local library. More precisely two smaller library rooms locat

“Description of an adventurous journey – An analysis of the historical Johan Brelin’s different identities and his world view”. In the 1750s, the young Johan Brelin set sail on a Swedish East India Company ship heading towards Canton, modern day Guangzhou, China. During his travels, he wrote down a travelogue containing his observations of the world. While en route home towards Sweden, he acciden

This study aims to comprehend how German citizens’ understanding of public organizations’ branding, as exemplified by the Bundeswehr, shapes their conception of these organizations. Using a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews supported by photo-elicitation were conducted with German citizens of different demographic groups to better understand public opinion. The study ide

This Master's thesis in Sustainable Urban Design investigates the critical transformation of urban peripheral areas. Framed by the concept of "Alchemy of the Edge," it focuses on Westraven, Utrecht—a historically industrial and fragmented site. The project explores how design can facilitate Westraven's "Genesis as a Vibrant Decentralized Node," contributing to a more re

Iii analysis-by-synthesis linear predictive coding (AbS-LPC) an LPC synthesis filter is combined with an analysis-by-synthesis search of the excitation signal. The synthesis filter is an estimator for the speech signal given the excitation. However in most AbS-LPC algorithms this estimator has no explicit model of the quantization noise, which is present in the excitation signal. This paper descri

In this paper we look at opportunities to support the creation of value for all through the use of end-user-owned Virtual Personal Assistant. We use a chat-bot as example of technology with a possibility for transferring and diffusing new functionality, features and capabilities. This category of software can create potential value through its AI and natural language processing combined with emula

Protection against mucosally transmitted infections probably requires immunity at the site of pathogen entry(1), yet there are no mucosal adjuvant formulations licensed for human use. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) represents a family of organic polycations used as nucleic acid transfection reagents in vitro and DNA vaccine delivery vehicles in vivo(2,3). Here we show that diverse PEI forms have potent m

Human monocytes are a heterogeneous cell population classified into three different subsets: Classical CD14++CD16-, intermediate CD14++CD16+, and non-classical CD14+CD16++ monocytes. These subsets are distinguished by their differential expression of CD14 and CD16, and unique gene expression profile. So far, the variation in inter-cellular gene expression within the monocyte subsets is largely unk

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a new approach to the study of collaborative consumption. This new approach is to study collaborative consumption in the less affluent world from consumer culture theory apart from any managerial inclination in order to abstract the understanding of consumption patterns of the less affluent world towards collaborative consumption. The study aims to provide

Denna uppsats diskuterar, utifrån relevant teori inom narratologin, det filmiska förstapersonsberättandet och dess konstruktion. Med utgångspukt i en synkron studie av ett antal förstapersonsfilmer (Where the Truth Lies, Millennium Mambo, The New World, The Thin Red Line, The Brown Bunny, Eyes Wide Shut och L'Intrus) diskuteras vilka implikationer dessa filmer har för filmteori rörande just de

In 2023 an operator theoretic approach to the Prime Number Theorem was introduced by Olsen. In this thesis this approach is examined and applied to give a new, operator theoretic, proof of a different version of the Prime Number Theorem and of the Prime Number Theorem for arithmetic progressions. This approach is then expanded and rearranged to focus on the approximation error in the Prime Number
