We investigate the competition between the associations of oppositely charged protein-surfactant complexes and oppositely charged surfactant complexes. In all systems examined, the most favorable complexation is the one between the two oppositely charged surfactant ions, despite the strong binding known, for example, dodecyl sulfate, DS-, to lysozyme. Thus, the phase behavior of the catanionic sys
The alkaline sphingomyelinase (SMase) was first found in rat intestinal brush border. The important roles of this enzyme in digestion of sphingomyelin and in mucosal cell proliferation have been suggested. In the present work, the distribution of the alkaline SMase in the tissues of human beings and animals have been studied. By assaying the enzyme activity in human biopsy samples, we found that t
The camera eyes of fishes and cephalopods have come forth by convergent evolution. In a variety of vertebrates capable of color vision, longitudinal chromatic aberration (LCA) of the optical system is corrected for by the exactly tuned longitudinal spherical aberration (LSA) of the crystalline lens. The LSA leads to multiple focal lengths, such that several wavelengths can be focused on the retina
Although up to 30% of babies born with haemophilia do not have a family history of the disorder, the remaining 70% are born in families where haemophilia has been diagnosed. It has been estimated that for each male with haemophilia, there are five potential female carriers. Such women will benefit from knowledge of both their genetic (mutation present or not) and phenotype (level of plasma factor
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate how relatives of patients with an ostomy rated the various aspects of care, how they perceived the quality of the care provided, and how they ranked their involvement in the care. Patients' satisfaction was also sought, particularly their perception of relatives' involvement.DESIGN: Descriptive cross-sectional.SETTINGS AND SUBJECTS: The study comprise
A fully automatic system for abdominal organ segmentation is presented. As a first step, an organ localization is obtained via a robust and efficient feature registration method where the center of the organ is estimated together with a region of interest surrounding the center. Then, a convolutional neural network performing voxelwise classification is applied. The convolutional neural network co
The concept of sharing is commonly employed in brand narratives of platform-based start-ups to recruit users. This paper examines sharing as a brand ideology and how it is enacted by companies in the startup phase of business. As the sharing start-ups’ business model is dependent on transaction fees generated on the platforms, traction (i.e. a high volume of users) is critical for success. By anal
Grading based on histopathologic features is used to predict survival in soft‐tissue sarcoma. However, variations in clinical behavior between tumors of the same grade motivate a search for additional factors that correlate with prognosis. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is expressed in proliferating cells during the G 1
AbstractPURPOSE: To assess the relative influence of genetic and environmental factors on optic disc size and cup/disc ratio in healthy eyes. METHODS: A sample of 55 monozygotic and 50 dizygotic healthy twin pairs aged 20-46, all having the same sex within pairs (47 pairs were male) had optic discs measured from colour fundus photographs according to the Wisconsin Protocol. Structural equation mod
α-Chymotrypsin immobilized on celite catalyzing a kinetically controlled dipeptide synthesis reaction in acetonitrile medium showed an odd behavior in response to additions of triethylamine to the reaction mixture. This base is used to deprotonate the nucleophilic reagent, l-alaninamide hydrochloride, in order to increase its nucleophilicity and solubility. However, the enzyme performance is appar
Chronic glomerular and tubular nephrotoxicity has been reported in up to 50% and 25%, respectively, of children and adolescents treated with ifosfamide and up to 60% and 30% of those given cisplatin. Up to 35% of children have proteinuria and microalbuminuria, implying chronic glomerular damage, after unilateral nephrectomy for a renal tumour. We are still learning about nephrotoxicity due to the
In secondary-school English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) classrooms worldwide, English tends to be used alongside the society or community majority language (Brevik & Rindal 2020; Tsagari & Diakou 2015; Üstünel 2016), and research reveals greater participation and positive attitudes among students when translanguaging is permitted (Ebe 2016; Kleyn 2016; Saxena 2009; Ollerhead 2019; Seltzer
Equitable distribution of healthcare services towards the reduction of HIV-AIDS prevalence in Nigeria remains a major public health concern. One of several research model to solve this public health problem is the use Geographical Information System, a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA), this model emerged in the last decade as a key measure of spatial accessibility, particularly in its appl
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån en rättsdogmatisk metodlära undersöka vad som krävs för att ett barn ska beredas vård med stöd av LVU för ett socialt nedbrytande beteende. För att besvara syftet har jag använt mig av underrättspraxis. Detta med anledning av att förarbetets tolkning av rekvisitet är vagt. Utifrån syftet är frågeställningarna: Hur bör barnets bästa tolkas? Överensstämmer LVUThe necessary conditions for the compulsory care of children based on the grounds of socially degrading behaviour are vague in the legislative history. The purpose of this thesis is to examine compulsory care of children on the grounds of socially degrading behaviour with aim of creating more clarity. This is regulated through 3 § of the Act pertaining to Special Provisions on the Care of Young Pe
The aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/
År 2005 vidgades kapitalskyddsreglerna i Aktiebolagslagen med syftet att omfatta fler situationer. Bland annat fick de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna sin egna legaldefinition, en definition som i efterhand har insetts vara onödigt svårtolkad. Denna uppsats handlar om de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna och dess begreppsdefinitions tolkningssvårigheter. Den förtäckta värdeöverföringen definieras efter In 2005, the swedish capital protection rules were expanded in the purpose to cover more situations. Among other things, the disguised value transfers got their own legal definition, a definition that has subsequently been realized to be relatively difficult to interpret. This essay deals with the disguised value transfers and the interpretation difficulties of its conceptual definition. The disgu
This Masters paper has been the study of the language used in textformat and the word-use in Museum exhibits. I have analyzed the Region Museums in Scania, Sweden, with Museums in Rome, Italy. The view point of the paper have been to analyze language use from the staffs perspective, therefor I have interviewed persons in the staff at the selected. I have also examine the texts in the choosen exhib
