This project is an collaboration with Höganäs AB, with the goal to design a light vehicle that meets the demands of the modern commuter, in function as well as in quality and sustainability. The result of the project is a light scooter using Höganäs E-Drive system, with Hydrogen Fuel Cells as the power source. The vehicle is designed to be adaptable to the user, while still being comfortable and e

In the present study, two types of micro-pin–fin configurations were fabricated on silicon surfaces by a dry etching method, i.e., staggered pin fins (#1) and aligned pin fins with empty areas (#2). The micro-pin–fin surfaces were then further modified by depositing FeMn oxide nanoparticles (∼35 nm) electrostatically for 8 h and 16 h, respectively, namely #1-8h, #1-16h, #2-8h and #2-16h. Subcooled

The following study focuses on the role of the Swedish mainstream media in constructing stereotypes and public opinion in regards to the issues of gender and the identity of immigrant minorities in Swedish society. The case of the honour killing of Fadime Shaindal is used to demonstrate the significance of media reporting in generating a social discourse concerning crime and its relation to cultur

Platelets express Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and this has been shown to be responsible for the thrombocytopenia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in vivo. We studied the role of LPS in mediating platelet phagocytosis by THP-1 cells in vitro by flow cytometry. Opsonization of platelets with an IgG monoclonal (W6/32) antibody or with IgG autoantibody-positive sera from patients wi

By use of a batch microcalorimeter of the thermopile type, heat production was measured in isolated populations of human peripheral blood cells exposed to defined immune complexes formed in vitro. It was found that most of the heat production recorded in whole blood after admixture of immune complexes occurs in the granulocytes. Under these conditions small but constantly higher activation values

Although the communication aspects of sport and football organizations are receiving in-creased scholarly attention, research from the perspective of fans of such organizations has mostly been neglected. This study problematizes the gap that exists be-tween the current social media communication of football organizations, that tend to be guided by commercial interests, and the expectation of fans

Targeting the androgen receptor (AR) pathway prolongs survival in patients with prostate cancer, but resistance rapidly develops. Understanding this resistance is confounded by a lack of noninvasive means to assess AR activity in vivo. We report intracellular accumulation of a secreted antigen-targeted antibody (SATA) that can be used to characterize disease, guide therapy, and monitor response. A

Background: 4-1BB (CD137) is a co-stimulatory receptor highly expressed on tumor reactive effector T cells and NK cells, which upon stimulation prolongs persistence of tumor reactive effector T and NK cells within the tumor and induces long-lived memory T cells. 4-1BB agonistic antibodies have been shown to induce strong anti-tumor effects that synergize with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The firs

Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) is a common cause of infective endocarditis (IE). For IE-pathogens, the capacity to activate and aggregate platelets is believed to be an important virulence mechanism. While the interactions between bacteria and platelets have been described in detail for many Gram-positive pathogens, little research has been carried out with SBSEC in this

Streptococcus pyogenes can cause invasive disease with high mortality despite adequate antibiotic treatments. To address this unmet need, we have previously generated an opsonic IgG1 monoclonal antibody, Ab25, targeting the bacterial M protein. Here, we engineer the IgG2-4 subclasses of Ab25. Despite having reduced binding, the IgG3 version promotes stronger phagocytosis of bacteria. Using atomic

At the Museum of World Culture (former Etnografiska Museet i Göteborg) there is an archaeological collection from the Santa Maria and Calchaqui Valleys of north-western Argentina, which came to the museum in 1930. In this article we will focus on six well-preserved objects with provenience from Quilmes and La Quebrada del Carmen in the Santa Maria Valley. In addition to the good conservation of th
