Animal models greatly facilitate understanding of transmission, pathogenesis and immune responses in HIV and SIV infection and provide models for studies on the effect of candidate drugs or vaccines. However, there are several aspects that one should consider when drawing conclusions from results obtained from animal models. First, the genetic relationship of primate lentiviruses cannot be disrega
Calculated absorbed dose distributions from tangential irradiation of the breast have been compared with TLD measurements in a anthropomorfic body-shaped phantom which has gone through all phases of the radiation treatment planning cycle, including mapping of electron densities with a CT scanner, simulation of beam set-up and several treatments with an accelerator. The absorbed doses, measured in
The butterfly family Pieridae comprises approximately 1000 described species placed in 85 genera, but the higher classification has not yet been settled. We used molecular data from eight gene regions (one mitochondrial and seven nuclear protein-coding genes) comprising a total of ~6700 bp from 96 taxa to infer a well-supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the family. Based on this hypothesis, we r
Den här studien undersöker hur unga kvinnor upplever och förstår syftesdriven reklam med feministiska och normbrytande budskap, samt vilka konsekvenser de får för deras uppfattning om den ideala kvinnokroppen. Fenomenet exemplifieras med hjälp av tre reklamkampanjer aktuella från 2016 som alla säger sig ha ett kvinnostärkande budskap. Semistrukturerade intervjuer med tretton unga kvinnor genomfördThis study investigates how young women experience and understand purpose- driven advertising with feminist and norm-breaking messages, and the conse- quences of their perception regarding the ideal body. The phenomenon is exempli- fied by the use of three current campaigns from 2016, all of which say that they have a woman-promoting message. Semi-structured interviews with thirteen young women we
Mammalian cells are frequently under stress leading to DNA damage because of UV exposure, ionizing radiation or genotoxic chemicals. Cells have evolved a DNA damage response (DDR) mechanism to ensure survival and pass on the correct genetic information to the next generation. MITF is a melanocyte-specific transcription factor. It has been shown to accumulate in the vicinity of DNA damage and its e
En förutsättning för att ett beteende ska kriminaliseras är att det tänkta straffbudet avser ett identifierat och konkretiserat intresse som är skyddsvärt, det vill säga godtagbart. Ett godtagbart skyddsintresse kan definieras som det värde som skyddas i ett visst straffbud. Föreställningarna om skyddsintresse har systematisk betydelse för indelningen av brottstyper. Att finna arten av det intressA prerequisite for a behavior to be criminalized is that the intended criminal law provision applies to an identified and concretized interest that should be protected. An acceptable protective interest can be defined as the value protected in a particular criminal law provision. The concepts of protective interests have a systematic significance for the classification of the type of crime. Determ
In this article, two case studies from 1921–22 and 1971 respectively, are juxtaposed in order to determine change in official attitudes and screening contexts for pornographic films. Focusing in the first case on an exhibitor who in 1922 was convicted of screening an obscene film on three occasions the year before, and in the other case on the range of venues for pornographic films in Malmö the mo
Campylobacter jejuni is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis in most parts of the world. The bacterium has a broad host range and has been isolated from many animals and environments. To investigate shedding patterns and putative effects on an avian host, we developed a colonization model in which a wild bird species, the European Robin Erithacus rubecula, was inoculated orally with C. jeju
Popular Abstract in Swedish Epigenetik handlar om hur avläsning av informationen i arvsmassan kan styras och nedärvas mellan cellgenerationer. Förmågan att kunna ändra genuttrycksmönster som svar på signaler från omgivningen och sedan bibehålla dessa genom efterföljande celldelningar ligger till grund för korrekt funktion av vävnaderna och organen som våra kroppar är uppbyggda av. Samtliga sjukdomPrecise spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression programs is a prerequisite for multicellular life. Since the discovery of DNA as the carrier of genetic information, a key question in biology has been how these hard coded instructions are read and regulated to maintain cellular and organismal homeostasis. Understanding the mechanisms and processes governing gene and genome regulation are
The Siljan impact structure is the largest known impact structure in Europe, the result of a Late Devonian meteorite impact (380.9 +/- 4.6 Ma). It is outlined mainly by a ring of lakes and Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks of Ordovician to Devonian age. The Palaeozoic successions are generally poorly exposed, but often well preserved with clear stratigraphy. At some locations they are strongly tectonis
We explored impacts of climate change on the geographic distribution of European beech by applying state of the art statistical and process-based models, and assessed possible climate change impacts on both adaptive capacity in the centre of its distribution and adaptive responses of functional traits at the leading and trailing edge of the current distribution. The species area models agree that
This study presents reconstructions of black carbon (BC), including spheroidal and amorphous carbonaceous particles (SCP and ACP), organic matter (OM; total organic carbon, TOC; total nitrogen, TN; total sulfur, TS), and heavy metals (Fe, Zn, Pb, Cu, As and Hg) in coastal sediments off the south-west coast of Sweden. Sediment records from eight stations along a north-south transect off the south-w
Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt den 1 juli 2021 och utgör alltså ett förhållandevis nytt brott. Bestämmelsen återfinns i 4 kap. 3 § brottsbalken (1962:700) (BrB) och innebär att det är straffbart att låta barn bevittna vissa i bestämmelsen angivna brott mellan närstående eller tidigare närstående personer till barnet. Syftet med lagstiftningen var att uppmärksamma barn som utsätts för att The criminalization of letting children witness domestic violence entered into force in Swedish law on 1 July 2021 and is thus a relatively new offence. It is found in Section 4. Chapter 3. in the Swedish Criminal Code and means that it is now a criminal offence to expose a child to witnessing domestic violence. The purpose of the penalty provision is to notice and give legislative protection to c
Modelica-TM is an object-oriented language for modeling physical systems that was designed in the last years with the goal to become a standardized multi-domain modeling language. This paper describes a robust model for homogenous and inhomogenous two phase flows with dynamic or static slip correlation. It was developed in the context of developing a Modelica base library for thermo-hydraulic appl
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effectiveness of using specific alarms for each hazardversus the effectiveness of using a single alarm for all hazards in multi-hazard facilities. Theresearch was conducted by disseminating online questionnaires containing audio files of differentalarms to occupants of multi-hazards facilities and conducting interviews with safety expertsworking at mult
This thesis is structured around one central question: This study will determine the extent to which political change in the discourse topics of European Political Groups (EPGs) can be traced in European election manifestos through the use of Structural Topic Modeling (STM). This thesis asserts that there is a significant gap in our understanding of how to assess Euromanifestos and of the macrostr
Krig och konflikter världen över har lett till ett ökat intresse för och behov av försvar. Förhörssituationer har tidigare färgats av inhumana tillvägagångssätt och tortyr för att bryta motstånd hos den förhörde och få relevant information trots att tidigare forskning har visat att dessa metoder är ineffektiva. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur effektiv användning av olika förhörsteknikeWar and conflicts worldwide have increased both the interest in, and the need for defence. Historically, interrogation contexts have been characterized by inhumane approaches, such as torture, aimed at breaking resistance and obtaining information, despite previous research, demonstrating the ineffectiveness of such methods. The aim of this study was to examine how the effective use of different i
Large increases in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) have been measured in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) following the administration of L-DOPA, but the underlying mechanisms have remained unknown. In this study, we have used rats with unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions as a model of PD in order to compare the patterns of rCBF and regional cerebral glucose utilisation (rCGU)
