Background: Renalase (gene name RNLS), a recently discovered enzyme with monoamine oxidase activity, is implicated in the degradation of catecholamines. Recent studies delineate a possible role of this enzyme in blood pressure (BP) maintenance and cardiac protection and two single nucleotide polymorphisms, RNLS rs2576178 A > G and rs2296545 C > G have been associated with hypertension. The latter

During the Secret War in Laos, 1964-1973, the United States dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs in Laos. However, 30% of the employed bombs failed to detonate. It is estimated that 78 million unexploded ordance (UXO) still contaminate the land of Laos. This paper therefore aims to explore how UXO affect the possibilities for the rural population in Houamoung district to attain a sustaina

The customary way to determine whether an adopted Supplemental Instruction (SI) program has been successful or not is by comparing course results for two groups, SI attendees and non-attendees. The division of SI attendees and non-attendees is generally done rather arbitrarily by prescribing a minimum number of SI sessions a student has to attend to be considered an SI attendee. Although the SI at

This study investigates the effect of unemployment on health and rank-dependent indices of income-related health inequality in Europe during the period 2006-2015, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. I use a recently proposed general method of decomposition and a panel data approach with individual fixed effects, and find a significant negative relationship betwee

While the international community spends enormous amounts of money engaging in peacebuilding efforts, scholars are increasing questioning what effect this actually has on the development of peace. Despite extensive economic contributions to post-conflict societies with the hope of ensuring peace, little development on the ground has been recorded. This raises a question of why provision of economi

Title: Green is the new normal: An exploratory study of how slow fashion companies encourage normalization of sustainability initiatives in the retail store Date of seminar: June 5th 2019 Course name: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Jennifer Phan & Xinyi Yao Supervisor: Andrea Lucarelli Key words: social normalization, social and personal norms, communication strategies

The thesis explores the Directive 2018/822 of May 2018, also known as DAC 6, and the obligation to notify that it placed on intermediaries with legal professional privilege. The research conducted aims at answering the question if the notification obligation brought by DAC 6 is in conflict with EU primary law, namely, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The DAC 6 was the fift

The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate the discourses of gender present in the National Action Plan of Afghanistan (2015-2022), asking how the ‘problem of gender’ is conceptualised and problematised in the policy. This is done through Carol Bacchi’s theoretical and methodological ’What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) – approach which aims to analyse policy through identifying

This essay explores how trustworthiness is created, established, and constructed in regard to women subjected to sexual violence, analysing significant features which may be decisive in court’s assessment of rape. The construction of the plaintiff’s trustworthiness and its impact on the legal process will be analysed in ten Swedish court cases about rape and through interviews with four women work

Growing concerns and sentiment about the negative environmental effects of the fashion industry pressure fashion companies to adopt eco-innovation and pursue more environmentally-sustainable product development. This study explores and examines the drivers of eco-innovation and environmentally-sustainable product development in small- to medium-sized fashion firms in Sweden and Denmark, with the p

Objectives: To examine whether physical activity (PA) was associated with fatigue, and quantify the extent of potential mediation through depressive symptoms or physical function (PF) on the relationship between PA and fatigue in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Method: This longitudinal study used data from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (n = 484), comprising subjects aged ≥ 50 years.

One of the main determinants of plasma homocysteine in healthy subjects is serum creatinine. In the present study, we therefore investigated the relation between plasma homocysteine concentration, serum creatinine and a new marker for glomerular filtration rate, plasma cystatin C concentration. Cystatin C reflects the glomerular filtration better than serum creatinine and is not related to the mus

Conflicting findings have recently been presented as to the sites and sources of B cells that undergo class switch recombination (CSR) to IgA in the gut. In this study we provide compelling evidence in CD40-/- mice demonstrating that IgA CSR can be independent of CD40 signaling and germinal center formation and does not occur in the gut lamina propria (LP) itself. We found that CD40-/- mice had ne
