Platelets have been reported to become activated in response to bacteria and this is proposed to contribute to the acute response to bacterial infection. In the present study, we investigated platelet aggregation in response to group G streptococci (GGS) in vitro in healthy human donors and in vivo in a mouse model of streptococcal sepsis. Platelet aggregation by GGS was dependent on the bacterial

The incidence of prostate cancer has increased dramatically during the last 10-15 years and it is now the commonest cancer in males in developed countries. The increase is mainly caused by the increasing use of opportunistic screening or case-finding based on the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in serum. With this approach, prostate cancer is detected 5-10 years before giving rise t

Viking Age silver is a useful tool for tracing various aspects of the society. Contact networks, trade organization, society structure, economic variation etc. This paper concentrates on the so-called Permian rings, which appear in Scandinavian silver hoards from Early Viking Age. Their main concentration is, however, in the regions west of the Ural Mountains in Russia. As the rings found in Russi

This thesis aims to show that the doctrine of analogia entis, the analogy of being, is a proper form of thought for Catholic theology, because it is based on a theological metaphysics. The thesis includes a very brief historical account of the concept of analogy in philosophical and theological metaphysics, but has for its real starting point the exclamation of Karl Barth that the analogia entis i

This master thesis explores the usage of stainless steel in mobile phones. The first part is an introduction to stainless steel which explains the properties of the different stainless steels, and also the most common methods used for sheet metal production. It is concluded with a selection process to determine which stainless steels are best suited to be used at Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication

Owing to recent developments in CMOS technology, it is now possible to exploit tomographic microscopy at third-generation synchrotron facilities with unprecedented speeds. Despite this rapid technical progress, one crucial limitation for the investigation of realistic dynamic systems has remained: A generally short total acquisition time at high frame rates due to the limited internal memory of av

This chapter explores how an undergraduate elective course employs a community of practice to change students’ perceptions on sustainable entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the authors conducted a case study of an undergraduate elective course in a Swedish business school re-designed to adopt sustainability and sustainable entrepreneurship education. The authors found evidence that, when students

This paper discusses the very general question of how syntactic features of individual languages relate to the universal set of syntactic features. It is pointed out that Chomsky’s approach (2001a) to this fundamental issue is paradoxical. On one hand he argues that language is uniform in the relevant sense (L-UNIFORMITY), but, on the other hand, he also assumes that languages make different selec

Samråd är ett obligatoriskt moment i den svenska samhällsplaneringen i dag. Samtidigt visar forskning att det lagstadgade samrådet inte är tillräckligt för att skapa ett medborgardeltagande som har inflytande och är representativt. Uppsatsen har studerat metoder för medborgardialog i Stockholms stads projekt Fokus Skärholmen. Eftersom Fokus Skärholmen är ett pilotprojekt för socialt hållbar stadsuConsultation is a mandatory element in Swedish community planning today. At the same time, research shows that the statutory consultation is not sufficient to create a civic participation that is influential and representative. The thesis has studied methods for citizen dialogue in the City of Stockholm's project Fokus Skärholmen. Since Fokus Skärholmen is a pilot project for socially sustaina

In the aftermath of the 2011 Bahraini uprising, many activists were forced into exile. This thesis is based on Skype interviews with exiled activists from Bahrain, who continue to engage with activism in exile. By discussing the research question of how political voice changes when an activist is forced into exile, the aim of the study is to better understand the dynamics of activism in the contex

This essay is based on an observation, made by the author, that the scenes in Malmö for rap battles and roast battles have actors in common. To identify and discuss why that is, the essay will conduct an aesthetic analysis and compare common tools used by rappers and comedians in the respective scenes. The analysis relies on discussions and theories about music as a performance and the term “music

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to an expansion of what can be considered as a brand. Specifically, this paper examines how streaming series can be seen as brands through a brand identity lens. Methodology: A qualitative research approach, with a social constructivist perspective, has been done by applying the Brand Identity Prism, with the additional element brand promise, to
