Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is one of the most commonly used animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). CIA is induced in susceptible mouse strains after immunization with heterologous type II collagen (CII). In mice of the H-2q haplotype rat CII (rCII) is used whereas in mice of the H-2r haplotype bovine CII is utilized. The broad objective of this thesis was to gain an understanding of th

The main purpose of the present work is to increase knowledge of in-plane tension behav-iour of masonry and develop a model able to describe the impact of parameters influencing cracking caused by restrained shrinkage. In the process the mechanism of load transfer between units and mortar joints is described. The influence of cohesion between units and mortar joints, unit and joint geometry and ex

Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock which is an undesired phenomenon in SI engines. It may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. This thesis presents a theoretical investigation about the modeling of the e

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att kunna simulera de fysikaliska fenomen som pågår i förbränning, krävs även en beskrivning av den kinetik som ingår i förbränningsprocessen. För detta ändamål utvecklas kinetiska modeller. En kinetisk modell är en lista med kemiska reaktioner och reaktionshastighetsparametrar. Modellernas tillämpningsområde begränsas av de valideringsfall och de fysikaliska parameThe simulation of physical phenomena occurring in chemical reactors requires the description of the kinetics involved in the underlying combustion process. Kinetic models are developed for this purpose. A software package, BlueBellMouse, has been developed to facilitate a deeper automatization and ease of simulation, reduction and optimization of kinetic models. A kinetic model is made of a list o

BACKGROUND: In the prostate, the importance of sex hormones for its normal development and function is well known. However, it has been proposed that various neuroendocrine (NE) hormones and growth factors may be involved in the pathogenesis of prostatic carcinoma (CaP). Neuroendocrine differentiation appears to be associated with tumour progression and the androgen-independent state, for which th

This thesis describes an extended flamelet approach for modelling of soot formation in turbulent hydrocarbons diffusion flames. Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms are used to compute species concentrations, temperature, density and soot formation rates as functions of flamelet coordinates in the space of mixture fraction and scalar dissipation rate. An ensemble average based on a presumed probab

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tidigare trodde man att den vuxna hjärnan inte hade någon förmåga att nybilda nervceller. Detta skulle innebära att nervceller aldrig blev ersatta om de skadades eller dog. Nu vet man däremot att den vuxna hjärnan fortfarande producerar nya nervceller från särskilda moderceller, s.k. stamceller, belägna i åtminstone två områden i hjärnan: subgranulära zonen i hippocamThe adult brain constantly produces new neurons from endogenous neural progenitor cells located in at least two regions, the subgranular zone (SGZ) in dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, and the subventricular zone (SVZ). Major efforts are underway to discover the functional significance of new neurons in the adult brain. Several studies have indicated a relationship exists between newborn hippoca

A raised awareness around climate change has been followed by different initiatives and targets being set around the world to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure is not only being placed on international and national bodies but also on local communities, industries, businesses and even individual households. The most prominent international action is the funding of the United Nations Frame

Den 1 december 2025 trädde nya straffbestämmelser i kraft i svensk rätt som kriminaliserar oskuldskontroller, oskuldsintyg och oskuldsingrepp. Reformen har motiverats som ett led i arbetet mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck som syftar till att stärka skyddet för kvinnor i hedersbaserade kontexter. Samtidigt väcker kriminaliseringen grundläggande frågor om straffrättens funktion och gränser vid On 1 December 2025, new criminal provisions came into force in Swedish law criminalizing virginity tests, virginity certificates, and virginity procedures. The reform has been justified as part of the efforts against honour-related violence and oppression that aim to strengthen the protection of women in honour-based contexts. At the same time, the criminalization raises fundamental questions abou

Climate change is a reality, with no indication of slowing down or reversing. Climate change causes extreme weather to occur more intensely and frequently. This poses a significant threat to critical infrastructures, which must adapt to withstand the new conditions they are increasingly exposed to. Climate change adaptation are measures which have the purpose to lessen the negative effects of clim

As artificial intelligence (AI) develops, it is applied in an increasing number of fields of society. One of the uses to which AI is put today is in real-time remote biometric identification technology (RBI). RBI refers to automated processes used to identify an individual in a group of others by analysing and quantifying their characteristics. The identification is conducted from afar, often with

Denna uppsats undersöker hur rörelsedata från hälsoapplikationer presenteras och värderas som bevis i svenska brottmål samt vilka rättssäkerhetsmässiga utmaningar som är förknippade med denna typ av digital bevisning. Uppsatsen inleds med en genomgång av de processrättsliga ramar som styr bevisprövningen i brottmål, med särskilt fokus på principen om fri bevisprövning. Därefter presenteras rörelseThis thesis examines how motion data from health applications is presented and evaluated as evidence in Swedish criminal trials, as well as the legal safeguards and challenges associated with this type of digital evidence. It begins with an overview of the procedural rules governing the assessment of evidence in criminal proceedings, with particular focus on the principle of free evaluation of evi

The goal of Master`s thesis is to design a power amplifier as part of a transmitter operating at 71-86GHz using the 22nm technology. The primary objective is to design a narrowband power amplifier for E-band at 80GHz. The output power range is 14-20dBm power added efficiency around 14% - 18%. The additional aim is investigating what new circuit concepts need to be used at 80GHz compared to 40GH

The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. One location with historical erosion problems is Ystad municipality in southern Sweden, where the erosive problems are probable to

Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, represent a significant global health issue. Symptoms are commonly treated through inhalation therapy, enabling the delivery of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) directly to the lungs. Pulmonary drug delivery offers several advantages, including reduced risk of systemic side effects and a minimally invasive route of administration. Dry-powder

In the ocean, carbon export is driven by the biological carbon pump where organic matter is transported from the surface layer to the deep sea. The sinking particulate organic matter is mainly a product of phytoplankton aggregates and faecal pellets from zooplankton & fish, together also known as “marine snow”. Marine snow is continuously being degraded by microbial and zooplankton activities

In this thesis, the traditional way of conducting chromatographic separation by linear elution was re-evaluated by introducing variable elution buffer trajectories in the mobile phase. Through numerical simulation of ion exchange chromatography using a finite volume method approach, various salt concentration profiles were optimized for improving the separation of components, using yield and produ
