The complement system is a link between adaptive and innate immunity, which is a first line protection against pathogens. It can be activated through three different pathways which all lead to formation of C3 and C5 convertases and final complement-mediated lysis of cells. The system contains regulatory mechanisms at different steps of activation to avoid lysing of own cells. Recent years, have sh
Denna uppsats ämnar att förstå de nostalgiska uttryck som tycks ha intensifierats i den samtid Ulrich Beck beskriver som ’den nya moderniteten’ samt hur detta påverkar individen. Som första steg redogörs en aktuell definition av begreppet nostalgi med hjälp av tidigare forskning. Genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie med respondenter utvalda utifrån yrkesroller sammankopplade med nostalgi ämnar uppsa
Människan har försökt att förklara beteenden genom att kategorisera personligheter i olika kombinationer för att få så mycket kontroll på vardagen som möjligt. På senare år har arbetsplatser börjat använda olika formaliserade metoder för att kunna kategorisera människor vid rekrytering, med syfte att matcha person till yrke och för att hitta rätt person till rätt position. Studiens syfte är att bSince the existence of human civilization, we have endeavored to understand and accept people's differences. One such way in which we have tried to explain human behavior is through classifying personalities into different categories. This has now evolved to become part of the recruitment processes as a tool to find the right person for the right position, with both positive and negative effec
Nätdejting har blivit ett populärt sätt att möta andra människor på. Sedan dejting- applikationen Tinder etablerades i Sverige har en yngre generation än tidigare börjat nätdejta. Syftet med denna uppsats är att tolka och analysera unga vuxnas beskrivningar av hur de upplever och använder Tinder som verktyg för att möta andra människor. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av djupintervjuer med tolv pe
Interoperability is a sought after quality in most software. One way to increase interoperability is to make transformation of data between formats easier. Several transformation tools exists and many utilizes the Extract, Transform, Load-process to perform the transformations. The transformation part of the process can be done in several different ways. Using a lookup table to arrange the underly
This essay examines twenty-two minoan-mycenaean gold signet rings depicting group motifs. It strives for an unbiased approach to the interpretation of the motifs by studying the placement, negative space and direction of the figures in search of possible signs of hierarchy and gender expression. In doing so, traditional theories of women being the most important figures are challenged. The essay c
A study is presented in the report regarding fires that have occurred in the USA between 2007 and 2015 in tall residential buildings with wood frame. The work is based on fire investigations compiled by NFPA and does only include large-scale fires and fatal fires. The general conclusions that have been made are that sprinklers have a positive impact on the extent of a fire and that an installation
Modelica is a modelling language used to describe a physical system and can be used to simulate the system. A Modelica compiler transforms a Modelica model into an equation system in order to simulate it. During this transformation the information about where the equations originates from is lost. This information could be useful to have when, e.g., trying to locate an error. In this thesis we sol
In large and/or complex buildings, which can contain a lot of people, it’s important to ensure that evacuation in case of fire or other threats can be performed safely. In this report, the possibility to use Microsoft Kinect v2 for evacuation is examined to determine whether it can be used to provide dynamic crowd management systems and rescue services with information. This is done by an initial
Denna uppsats syfte är att svara på frågan när infaller realpresensen, Kristus närvaro i nattvardens bröd och vin, och hur länge varar den enligt den lutherska kyrkans tradition. När jag talar om den lutherska kyrkans tradition är det Svenska kyrkan som jag har i åtanke. Frågeställningen är omfattande, därför har jag valt att begränsa mig till att besvara fem följdfrågor och utifrån svaren på dess
The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is a partial differential equation which appears as a model in several branches of physics, including Bose-Einstein condensation and hydrodynamics. In this thesis, we investigate a particular class of solutions, namely periodic standing waves. We derive explicit formulas for the solutions using elliptic functions and study their variational properties. The standi
No suitable contrast agent for bowel diagnostics exists on the market today. A solution may be a new potential food-based contrast agent called Lumentin, which is based on foaming egg white. To gain new knowledge about the contrast agent, the objectives of this project were to study the physiochemical properties of different egg white powders (A-F) that can be used to prepare Lumentin and their fo
År 1997 byggdes en havsvall i Isahaya bukten i Ariake havet, Japan, för att återta land för lantbruk och översvämningskontroll. Den här studien undersöker hur havsvallen har påverkat den barokliniska strukturen i Ariake havet och bildandet av hypoxiskt vatten i Ariake havet genom att fokusera på påverkan från förflyttningen av utflödet av färskvatten, den tidsmässiga förändringen för utflödet av fIn 1997 the Isahaya Sea Dike was built in the head of Isahaya Bay which is a branch of the Ariake Sea, Japan, with the aim of reclaiming land for agriculture and flood control. This study examines how the Isahaya Sea Dike has affected the baroclinic structure and development of hypoxic waters in the Ariake Sea by focusing on the spatial change of freshwater discharge, the temporal change of freshw
The decision by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union will have significant repercussions for the global economy. The consequences of Brexit have been studied through different perspectives and methods, however there is a lack in the literature in using a regional perspective. This study thus aims to fill this gap by estimating the industrial impact of Brexit on the United Kingdom through
The outcomes of flood management are uncertain since climate change and urban densification are expected to result in higher amounts of surface runoff, and both these changes are subject to uncertainty. When uncertainty is deep, there is a need for strategies to treat uncertainty, e.g. taking the limitations of quantification by probabilities into account, and to guide decisions to be robust to un
Evidence from the U.S equity market shows that the cyclically adjusted price to earnings ratio (CAPE) is a strong predictor of future long-horizon stock returns. This paper focuses attention on the Swedish equity market to see whether the CAPE-ratio is applicable to the Swedish market. Furthermore, to see whether a set of secondary explanatory variables may strengthen the predictive power addition
This thesis researches territorial stigmatisation in the context of urban renewal and state-led gentrification in Gothenburg. Focusing on post-industrial transformation in the geographical area of Hisingen, the thesis reaffirms the need for critical analyses of urban renewal. The thesis explores discourses about the district of Hisingen using Norman Fairclough’s model for critical discourse analys
