Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING IMMUNFÖRSVARET OCH KOMPLEMENTSYSTEMET Till skydd mot infektioner har människan sitt immunförsvar. Här ingår till exempel vita blodkroppar och en mängd olika proteiner. En viktig grupp av proteiner kallas för komplementsystemet, vilket består av ca 30 proteiner som kan angripa bakterier och andra oönskade partiklar och delta i för-störThe ability of many pathogenic microorganisms to cause infection is dependent on their ability to evade attack by the complement system of the host. One mechanism by which microorganisms may avoid complement attack is to bind complement inhibitory molecules present in the host. This thesis describes studies of the complement inhibitor C4BP and of inter-actions between C4BP and the human pathogen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag finns det flera studier där livstillfredsställelse bland äldre har undersökts. Studierna är dels genomförda i varierande kontext och dels innehåller de varierande faktorer som hälsa, funktionell förmåga, självkänsla, sociala kontakter och finansiell situation. Därmed är det inte självklart att det finns gemensamma eller specifika faktorer, vilka är förknippade med The aim of this thesis was to investigate how older people's capacity to perform activities of daily living (ADL), health, social and financial resources, and self-esteem can be related to their life satisfaction. The aim was also to investigate how people feel hindered by health problems in relation to their ADL capacity, health problems, social and financial resources, self-esteem, sense of cohe

Rapid development in the realms of electronic publishing has had a profound impact on information services in general and the academic library in particular. Since mid 1990´s an increasingly number of scholarly journals and other information resources have been made available electronically. Electronic books are the newest electronic service in the hybrid library and can be seen as the third wave

Racial discrimination is a highly topical and burning issue, of special interest in working life. Most researchers agree on that discrimination is a problem in the Swedish labour market. To counteract the ongoing discrimination, a new Anti-Discrimination Act was founded in 1999. The Racial Discrimination Act although appears to be ineffective on the basis of legal usage. Of all the legal cases abo

Våldtäkt är ett ord som väcker många känslor och associationer hos människor i dagens samhälle. Alla har på något sätt kommit i kontakt med det, även om han eller hon inte själv varit drabbad eller känner någon som har. Med jämna mellanrum är våldtäkt och sexuella övergrepp i stort ett stort och hett ämne i media. Tyvärr speglar inte alltid deras bild av hur det ser ut, den som finns i verkligheteRape is a word that arouses many feelings and associations of people in today's society. All have somehow come into contact with it, even if he or she has not personally been affected or knows someone who has. Periodically, the rape and sexual abuse in general is a great and hot topic in the media. I do not always reflect their view of how it looks in the real world. It's easy to think and

The thermal insulation of a clothing ensemble can be measured with a thermal manikin or estimated according to ISO 9920. In ISO 9920 there are insulation tables for a number of clothing ensembles with specified garments and other tables for a variety of single garments. The insulation of single garments can be summated to estimate the insulation for a clothing ensemble. However, when a clothing en

Det kommunala bolaget Sydvatten AB ser till att det kommer rent och friskt dricksvatten ur våra kranar i sydvästra Skåne. Vattnet produceras vid Vombverket, ett vattenverk beläget ca 30 km öster om Lund och strax söder om Vombsjön. Vombverket består av 55 anlagda dammar där vatten som pumpas upp från Vombsjön får infiltrera ner i marken och bilda grundvatten.

The water is produced at Vombverket, the water installation located about thirty kilometres east of Lund. Vombverket consists of 55 infiltration dams where the water pumped up from Vombsjön is infiltrated to form ground water. The ground water is then p

Enzyme engineering for a better future It is essential for many organisms on this planet to be able to digest plants. One of those organisms is the blue mussel, which uses certain enzymes in its stomach to break down sugar fibers in the algae that it eats. But how does this really work, and can we use it for anything? Plant cells have very strong walls, protecting them from environmental stress.

Brottsoffret har sedan det introducerades som ett begrepp på 1970-talet allt mer kommit att dominera den politiska och akademiska debatten kring brott och straff. Mitt syfte med den här uppsatsen är att ur ett kritiskt perspektiv granska den svenska straffrätten ur ett brottsofferperspektiv. Vem är brottsoffret? Det finns ingen övergripande definition av vem brottsoffret är. En fråga som därför uThe term “crime victim” was introduced in the Swedish language in the 1970s. Since then it has more and more started to dominate the political and academic debate about crime and punishment. My aim with this essay is to from a critical point of view, review the Swedish criminal law from a crime victim-perspective. Who is the crime victim? There is no overall definition of who can qualify as a cri

The purpose of this master thesis is to investigate the influencing factors of the busi-ness potential of products with health claims, using PrimaLiv as an example, and 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 consumers, since they determine the busin

In this master thesis work, the effect of polarization, at the Base Station (BS) side, on the performance of multi-user Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP) systems is studied. This study was performed using synchronous multi-link measurements that took place at the campus of the faculty of Engineering, LTH, Lund University, Lund, Sweden, where two different BS setups were studied. In the first setup, on

Background: Newborn infants affected by hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) undergo therapeutic hypothermia. As this treatment seems to be associated with pain, and intensive and invasive care is needed, pharmacological interventions are often used. Moreover, painful procedures in the newborn period can affect pain responses later in life, impair brain development, and possibly have a long-term

Tau accumulation starts during the preclinical phase of Alzheimer's disease and is closely associated with cognitive decline. For preventive purposes, it is important to identify factors associated with tau accumulation and spread. Studying genetically identical twin-pairs may give insight into genetic and environmental contributions to tau pathology, as similarities in identical twin-pairs largel

Popular Abstract in Swedish Dagens samhälle är väldigt beroende av fordon av olika slag. Aldrig förr har människor rest till olika delar av världen, så mycket som idag. Den enorma mängden resors och transporter som sker varje dag är en tung belastning för vår natur. Bilar och lastbilar, som ökar i antal varje dag, släpper ut giftiga avgaser på vägarna och flygplan förbrukar enorma mängder fossilt Urban traffic involves frequent acceleration and deceleration. During deceleration, the energy previously used to accelerate the vehicle is mainly wasted on heat generated by the friction brakes. If this energy that is wasted in traditional internal combustion engines (ICE) could be saved, the fuel economy would improve. Today there are several solutions to meet the demand for better fuel economy

Skiljeförfarande är i svensk rätt jämställt med tvistlösning i allmän domstol beträffande dispositiva tvistemål. Grunden för tvistlösning genom skiljeförfarande, är ett skiljeavtal mellan parterna. Huruvida en uppkommen tvist ska lösas genom skiljeförfarande – när det finns ett skiljeavtal parterna emellan – är avhängigt skiljeavtalets (objektiva) omfattning. Skiljenämnden saknar behörighet att avArbitration is, according to Swedish law, equivalent to court proceeding, when it comes to dispositive disputes. The basis of dispute resolution through arbitration, is an arbitration agreement between the litigants. Whether a dispute should be resolved through arbitration – when there is an arbitration agree-ment between the litigants – is dependent on the scope of their arbitration agreement. Th

For long, it has been popular to change the appearance of your hair by making it straight or curly. This change can be made more lasting by doing a perming treatment. These treatments were very popular a few decades ago, but the interest is not as big anymore. A perming treatment makes the hair curly or straight by using formulations with strong chemicals, such as reducing and oxidizing agents.

När två eller flera faktorer samverkar till en skada uppstår i försäkringsrätten en fråga om vem som ska bära det ekonomiska ansvaret för skadan. Detta gäller särskilt när en orsak omfattas av försäkringen medan den andra orsaken är undantagen försäkringsskydd, annars faller utanför försäkringen eller om- fattas av en annan försäkring. Uppsatsen har utifrån praxis och litteratur kun- nat identifieWhen two or more risks cause an injury, question arises in insurance law who should bear the responsibility for the injury. This is particularly the case when one risk is covered by the insurance whereas the other risk is excluded, oth- erwise not covered or covered by another insurance. Through studies of case law and literature, this essay has found that there are three viable solutions. The dom
