B cells are essential cells that are part of the adaptive immune system with the capacity to produce antibodies against exogenous antigens. These cells are produced through a process called hematopoiesis, tightly regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Among these, tyrosine kinase receptors and their cytokines have been shown to have an important role in adult lymphopoiesis regulation. Howev

Since 2001 there has been an increase in oil price and unlike other times there is nothing indicating a major persistent decline. As oil is a limited resource and since current production capacity can not fully meet the growing demand the price on oil is kept high. A high oil price will not only result in higher price on fuel and thereby a higher cost of transport. It will also affect areas such a

Idrottande ungdomar, i åldern 12-20 år, har ett specialbehov vad gäller kosten i jämförelse med andra individer. Då ungdomarna fortfarande växer och utvecklas är en sund kosthållning ytterst angeläget för upprätthållande av en normal kroppslig utveckling. Dessutom ställs i och med idrottandet högre krav på näringsintaget eftersom mer energi- och näringsämnen samt vätska förbrukas på grund av den fYoung athletes, between 12-20 years, have special dietary needs in comparison to other individuals.

Rätten till omprövning i andra instans i svensk rätt kan vara villkorad genom att det krävs prövningstillstånd för att målet ska tas upp till en ny fullständig prövning. Kravet förekommer dock endast i vissa fall, medan rätten till omprövning är ovillkorad i andra. I stora drag är reglerna hänförliga till vilken processtyp målet tillhör, civilprocessen, straffprocessen eller förvaltningsprocessen,The right to appeal can be conditioned in Swedish law, by a requirement for leave to appeal. The requirement only occurs in some cases, while the right of review is unconditioned in other cases. The rules are, broadly, incident to what procedure the dispute belongs to, civil procedure, criminal procedure or administrative procedure. However, the rules can also differ within the frames of the three

Examensarbetet behandlar fenomenet momentreduktion. Reduktionen uppstår då en spontvägg deformeras och krafterna i jorden omfördelas. I arbetet har fyra olika spontdimensioneringsmetoder behandlats som på olika sätt leder till ett dimensionerande moment. Tre av dessa är handberäkningar och den fjärde är en jämförande beräkning som görs i finita elementprogrammet PLAXIS. Två av handberäkningsmetThe thesis deals with the phenomenon of moment reduction. The reduction occurs when a sheet pile wall deforms and forces of the soil are redistributed. Four different methods of designing sheet pile walls are treated that in different ways lead to a design moment. Three out of these design methods are made by hand calculations and the fourth is a comparative assessment carried out in the finite
Sammanfattning År 1969 påbörjades en utredning som kom att resultera i lag om samboende gemensamma bostad (1973:651). Det var första gången en lag stiftades som specifikt tog syfte på samboskapet som samlevnadsform. Med lagen infördes en viss övertaganderätt av den bostad som utgjorde sambornas gemensamma hem. Lagstiftningen har utvidgats och modifierats sedan dess. I den nu gällande sambolagen (2Summary In 1969 began a legislative investigation that resulted in the law on cohabitants’ joint dwelling (1973:651). It was the first time a law was passed that specifically aimed at this form of cohabitation. The law introduced a certain right to take over the property which constituted the cohabitees’ common home. The legislation has been extended and modified since then. In the current Cohabit
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett varmare klimat ökar generellt risken för angrepp av skadeinsekter på jordbruksgrödor, och många skadeinsekter förväntas sprida sig norrut. Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på hur ett varmare klimat kan påverka koloradoskalbaggen, en allvarlig skadegörare i potatisodlingar. Koloradoskalbaggen kom från Mexiko till Europa i början av 1900-talet, och har sedan dess spridiEuropean agriculture is facing the challenge of managing the impact of climate change on food security. Agriculture in a northern temperate climate is likely to benefit from higher temperature and longer growing season while, in the south, crop productivity is likely to decline. Such changes in climate could also affect the population dynamics of insect pests. The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is o
The implementation of anaerobic digestion is important in the concept of sustainable development, especially regarding the environmental benefits. Biogas is produced when organic matter is degraded by microorganisms under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions. Biogas production occurs in nature where oxygen is absent; in rice fields, landfills, sediments, the intestinal tract of animals, etc. The adv
Over the last decades or so, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have become one of the most promising tools for modelling hydrological processes such as rainfall-runoff processes. In most studies, ANNs have been demonstrated to show superior result compared to the traditional modelling approaches. They are able to map underlying relationships between input and output data without detailed knowledge
Historically, aerosols of anthropogenic origin have offset some of the warming from increased atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. The strength of this negative aerosol forcing, however, is highly uncertain-especially the part originating from cloud-aerosol interactions. An important part of this uncertainty originates from our lack of knowledge about pre-industrial aerosols and how many of
