This comparative study explores how breaches can be applied to unveil potential blindspots within the social constructs surrounding design practice in Sweden and New Zealand. When in-depth interviews with designers in both countries were analysed, similarities and differences appeared. The underlying norms and values identified suggest that the two countries share a similar value-base in relation
T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is a rare group of malignancies and one of the important aims in this thesis has been to broaden the general knowledge of TCL with descriptive patient data. Main focus has been to examine prognosticfactors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and to evaluate different treatment approaches and follow-up (FU) after treatment.The purpose of the first st
Babesia är en malarialiknande parasit som är välkänd inom veterinärmedicinen och som sprids med fästingar till människor samt som möjlig transfusionssmitta. Symtom kan vara feber, trötthet och muskelvärk, men hos immunsupprimerade patienter eller vid rubbad mjältfunktion kan organsvikt och livshotande sjukdom snabbt uppkomma. I USA rapporteras drygt 2 000 fall per år. En ny studie från Sydsverige
Cloud droplets never form in the atmosphere without a seed in the form of an aerosol particle. Changes in number concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere can therefore affect the number of droplets in a cloud. Higher concentrations of aerosol particles in the atmosphere lead to clouds with more droplets and if the amount of liquid water in the clouds stay the same, the droplets become
It is well established that we do not judge other people on a one-dimensional scale (i.e., good - bad), but rather based on two fundamental dimensions. The first dimension is warmth, which essentially answers the questions of what the other person’s intentions are (e.g., friendly or malicious). The second dimension is competence, which in contrast answers the question regarding the person’s capabi
Milk genomics is a new area of research that explores the relations between cow genetics and milk characteristics. Identifying the genes controlling compositional and technological traits of milk will give opportunities to select cows for targeted milk production. In this thesis, the impact of different genetic approaches, i.e. quantitative genetic evaluation, single gene effects and genomic selec
Atherosclerosis is triggered by LDL entrapment in the vessel wall. Oxidation and enzymatic processing of LDL give rise to inflammatory mediators such as lyso-PC. These inflammatory mediators attract monocytes into the vessel wall where they differentiate into macrophages. The macrophages adopt different phenotypes depending on the environment. In vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo studies were combined
