Filtyp
Clostridium difficile PCR ribotype 027 comprised 0.2% of a collection of Swedish isolates in 1997-2001 (3 of 1,325 isolates). These isolates had lower moxifloxacin MICs than the epidemic type 027 isolates, but they had the same tcdC sequence and toxin yield. Type 027 produced 3- to 13-fold more toxin than did major Swedish types. One epidemic strain (027/NAP1a) sporulated more than did other type
Denna uppsats är skriven inom ämnet medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap av Gustaf Nordahl och Gustav Berg, som under skrivandets gång studerar vid institutionen för kommunikation och medier vid Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsens titel är; Spelarens vardag - En studie av Identiteter och Subkulturer. I denna uppsats försöker vi hitta brytpunkten som finns mellan de två identiteter och kulturer en gamer be
Assumptions about humankind’s separation from the rest of life on Earth have fuelled worldwide environmental destruction and a subsequent widespread loss of abundance and biodiversity amongst insects. As insects are vital to the health of the biosphere, a reconciliation of humans with the natural world is in due season. Drawing on eco-phenomenological ideas of the Flesh, embodied perception, and b
Syftet med vår uppsats är att beskriva och redogöra för hur kvinnliga studenter i Lund upplever sina konsumtionsvanor i relation till den marknadsföring som bedrivs på Instagram år 2019, samt vad som anses vara god smak på Instagram bland urvalsgruppen. Vår uppsats lyfter fram tidigare forskning, tar upp Pierre Bourdieus teori om kapital, smak, habitus, fält och Colin Campbells tankar om hedonisti
Visitation zones have been a highly debated topic in Sweden for the last couple of years. The right wing parties in Sweden are great supporters of implementing this as a solution for the rising gun violence in the country. Whereas others, especially criminologists, have raised concerns about it being counterproductive. There is little research on the topic of visitation zones, and the research ava
This chapter is an exploration of the concept of periphery when applied to regions. Specifically, it unpacks what we mean when we talk about places, specifically regions, as “peripheral”. It does this from the perspective of a sub-discipline of human geography: regional economic geography. In this field, peripheral regions are becoming increasingly interesting to researchers due to their key roles
Multidimensional diffusion MRI is a promising new MRI approach that has the potential to non-invasively give information about brain microstructure at an unprecedented level of detail. The present contribution briefly reviews the salient features of the novel method, its historical background and differences with conventional methods, as well as the remaining challenges that have to be overcome in
Background The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay may underestimate endotoxins because only soluble endotoxins are determined. The solubility of endotoxins was, therefore, studied in two species of Gram-negative bacteria. Methods Cultures were grown in serum broth, cells were harvested by centrifugation and washed in physiological saline. Bacterial suspensions were either filtered through PTFE f
Some strains of group B streptococci express a cell surface protein which binds IgA. This report describes some properties of such an IgA receptor and compares it with a previously described IgA receptor from group A streptococci. The group B receptor was released in an almost pure form from bacteria incubated at elevated pH, and could be isolated by IgA-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The sequ
Gliomas in the form of astrocytomas, anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas are the most common brain tumors in humans. Early detection of these cancers is crucial for successful treatment. Proteomics promises the discovery of biomarkers and tumor markers for early detection and diagnosis. In the current study, a differential gel electrophoresis technology coupled with matrix-assisted laser des
A constrained nonapeptide phage display library was evaluated as a potential source of affinity ligand(s) for purification of cutinase, a lipolytic enzyme. After seven cycles of biopanning, 500 clones were isolated and individually tested for their capability to interact with cutinase. Three out of six sequenced clones carrying a cutinase-specific constrained peptide showed the same insert sequenc
Purified, recombinant M12 protein from Streptococcus pyogenes CS24 has recently been demonstrated to bind human immunoglobulin G3 (IgG3). The binding site for IgG has been localized to an internal peptide encoded by a PvuII fragment of the gene emm12. We have investigated the ability of an isolated recombinant M12 protein consisting of the peptide encoded by the PvuII fragment to bind various mono
Muramic acid (Mur) is found in bacterial peptidoglycan ( PG) whereas 3-hydroxy fatty acids (3-OH FAs) are found in Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Thus Mur and 3-OH FAs serve as markers to assess bacterial levels in indoor air. An initial survey, in a school, demonstrated that the levels of dust, PG and LPS (pmol m(-3)) were each much higher in occupied rooms than in the same roo
