Advanced driving assistance systems that offer support by operating for example longitudinal control will have an effect on the transport system. Previous studies have also shown that drivers may be slower to respond in hazardous situations with systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC) engaged, if the system suddenly fails. Little understanding has, so far, emerged to explain why. In this thesis
To describe the process of providing healthcare through the transition years to individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and to present data on living arrangements, education/occupation status, and use of personal assistance in young Swedish adults with CP.
AIMS: To investigate the association between socioeconomic status, unemployment and self-rated psychological health, taking economic stress and horizontal trust into account. Design/setting/participants/measurements: The 2008 public health survey in Skåne is a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study with a 55% participation rate. A random sample was invited and 28,198 persons aged 18-80 partici
Popular Abstract in Swedish I mitt doktorandprojekt har jag studerat den fästingspridda bakterien Borrelia och dess värddjur skogssork. Det övergripande syftet har varit att kartlägga den genetiska variationen i den delen av immunförsvaret som tar hand om bakterieinfektioner, som till exempel borrelia. I alla ryggradsdjur finns ett specifikt immunförsvar som kan identifiera små proteinbitar från eThe major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class IIB genes exhibit extensive allelic polymorphism, most likely maintained by pathogen-mediated balancing selection (PMBS). PMBS may operate in the form of heterozygote advantage (HA), and/or through the interaction of pathogens and specific MHC alleles via fluctuating selection (FS) or negative frequency-dependent selection (NFDS). In particular, NFD
Two approaches to moral education are discussed in the article: one aiming at detachment in terms of personal autonomy, one aiming at relatedness in terms of a conscious socialisation into a shared morality of a community. The philosophical features of the two approaches are related to their respective pedagogical implications in a study of the pedagogical guidelines for confirmation work in the c
Two groups of organisms dominate the decomposition in soil: fungi and bacteria. One of the most important parameters to optimise for any organism is its growth, and thus a direct way to study the effect of environmental factors on fungi and bacteria in soil is to measure their growth rate. However, methodological constraints have historically prevented this direct approach in soil. Using leucine/t
Mammals are born with an immature gastrointestinal (GI) tract that allows the uptake of the specific nutrients and bioactive macromolecules in the milk, especially the protecting maternal antibodies. Eventually during weaning, the intake of milk decreases while that of solid food increases, and the GI system undergoes prominent structural and functional changes adapting the young this dietary chan
Previous research has found that moving objects bias heading perception only when they occlude the focus of expansion (FOE) in the background optic flow, with the direction of bias depending on whether the moving object was approached or at a fixed distance from the moving observer. However, the effect of object motion on heading perception was confounded with object position in previous studies.
Ellipsometry and radio-labelling techniques were employed to study the deposition of human serum albumin (HSA) followed by excess of mono- or polyclonal anti-HSA to methylated silicon. Adsorbed HSA, and [HSA-monoclonal anti-HSA] layers were rapidly removed by 0.1-0.5% SDS, but [HSA-polyclonal anti-HSA] layers were not. The results suggest that antigens and polyclonal antibodies crosslink on surfac
This article accounts for recent developments in corporate social responsibility, international trade and investment law, international human rights law, development aid, and the laws of home states reaching extraterritorially in order to advance a regulatory perspective on commerce and human rights. While these developments are remarkable, the analysis documents the prevalence of softer strategie
The influence on O 2p holes in single crystalline Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 upon the interface formation to Cu, Ag and Au has been studied by O K edge X-ray absorption measurements. It was found that Cu reduces the amount of doping induced O 2p holes significantly in the vicinity of the interface, whereas Ag and Au gave a much smaller reduction of these states. Photoemission spectra confirmed previous finding
