Autoantibody-mediated diseases comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders in which the pathogenic potential of autoantibodies has been clearly demonstrated. In general, their treatment relies on the long-term use of systemic corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants that are associated with considerable adverse reactions. EndoS, an endoglycosidase derived from Streptococcus pyogenes, specifica
The article consists of six core sections. Firstly, it argues for examining the language, origin, use and meaning of key concepts when seeking to understand historical perspectives. Secondly, is a concrete investigation of three concepts related to the French Revolution: ‘historical monument’, ‘vandalism’, and ‘heritage’. Thirdly, it describes how ‘historical monument’ was replaced by ‘heritage’ a

Background: Several studies have examined the role of physical activity as a predictor of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity. Here, we aimed to evaluate the role of self-reported physical activity as an independent risk factor of post-discharge mortality and re-hospitalization in patients hospitalized for HF, as well as study the association between physical activity and 92 plasma proteinsBackground: Several studies have examined the role of physical activity as a predictor of heart failure (HF) mortality and morbidity.

IGF-1 is an essential regulator of fetal growth and brain development. Preterm birth in the human is followed by a rapid decrease in serum levels of IGF-1 and decreased levels of IGF-1 have been associated with development of severemorbidity. A recent clinical trial indicated that supplementation with IGF-1 prevented development of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infa
Micol Mieli, doctoral student “My main research area is tourism and in particular tourists’ relationship with technology." “My main research area is tourism and in particular tourists’ relationship with technology.

Ändrade levnadsvanor i västerländska länder har lett till en ökning av sjukdomar så som IBS, infektioner i mag- och tarmkanal och allergier. Det har dessutom observerats att mikrofloran förändrats och goda bakterier så som Limosilactobacillus reuteri försvunnit. Mag- och tarmkanalen har därmed förlorat sina goda soldater mot patogena fiender med dysfunktionell balans som resultat. Därför är det inThis master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use
En mycket vanlig behandlingsteknik vid cancer är strålbehandling. Tekniken har utvecklats snabbt de senaste åren och idag uppnås millimeterprecision för många behandlingsområden. Därmed har behovet av att kunna kompensera för rörelser under behandlingen ökat. I detta arbete undersöktes möjligheten att låta strålgången följa tumören med en teknik som kallas MLC-tracking. Strålbehandling började a"Purpose: To investigate the geometric accuracy of MLC-tracking using a circular field, and to investigate the dosimetric accuracy for inversely optimized arc delivery to a moving target. This is done for two different MLCs and for varying plan complexity. Materials and methods: For investigating the geometric accuracy, a marker was placed on a motion platform while the MLC set to shape a ci
Bränsleceller är ett intressant alternativ till förbränningsmotorer då bränsleceller har en högre effektivitet, är miljövänligare samt tystare. Bränslen som diesel, bensin samt det undersökta bränslet Jet A1, innehåller olika svårreagerade svavelföreningar. Problemet med bränslena är att de har ett relativt högt svavelinnehåll. Svavelföreningarna riskerar att förgifta katalysatorerna i de nedströ
- here is a selection of their thoughts on the Pufendorf IAS Since 2009, the Pufendorf Institute for Advanced Studies has welcomed hundreds of interdisciplinary groups and thousands of researchers from Lund University. Here we have collected a selection of quotes and links to news articles that all, in different ways, convey messages from researchers to researchers. One researcher's words about th

Shopping malls are a global phenomenon, and as such they reach a degree of local iconicity simply by being malls. One of the main roles shopping malls play in our everyday lives is nurturing social interactions. Shopping malls have been portrayed by many scholars as places where people go to practice consumer religion (Fiske, 1989; Ritzer, 1999; Zepp, 1997), prime temples which glorify consumption
The detections of over 4000 exoplanets as of today has shown that they exist in a wide range of different configurations, otherwise known as architectures. Recently, studies have been made trying to link the environment of host stars to the architectures of their planetary systems and have found that the architectures of planetary systems may not necessarily be uniform in the Milky Way. Since effe
Recent studies have highlighted how building resilience to ‘shrinking’ episodes, as opposed to increasing growth rates, appears to be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to between-country income convergence. All economies seem to be able to grow, but few countries have been able to drastically improve their shrinking patterns, which has underpinned the divergence often argued in literat
The purpose of this study is to deepen and nuance the understanding of employees’ perception of acquisitions involving professional service firms, consultancy firms in particular. The theoretical framework is divided into three sections. Initially, Organizational Identity is presented, followed by Social Identity Theory and lastly Image. The collected material consists of data from seven interview
