This essay explores the magistratal lists (fasti etcetera) covering the period of 509 to 219 BC by looking at an accumulation of political capital and the length of magistratal careers. This essay attempts to give evidence to several theories for the early and middle Republic, primarily the fact that retirement of consulars occurs around the age of 60-65 and that one started one's consular car
Despite the so-called ‘great retreat’, in which people arguably are distancing themselves from the political sphere and civic engagement, the last two years has seen an upsurge in political activities. Outside the realms of institutionalised politics, i.e. political parties, lies a whole terrain of alternative political activities, including social movements and media institutions. Following the E
This thesis investigates the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions among architects in Sweden. Architects are currently experiencing headwinds and decreased demands for their services as increasing interest rates and a weak economy have contributed to a decline in construction activity. Simultaneously, advancements in AI have introduced a range of innovative technologies to the field
China’s financial actions along the BRI network has sparked a lot of controversies, one of these being the alleged usage of Debt Trap Diplomacy (DTD) in order to gain access to resources through debt relief that they otherwise would not be able to reach through traditional means. DTD practices can be considered part of the International Political Economy’s ‘blind spots’ due to their complexity and
From the point of view of semiotics, the essential contribution of John Deely consists in having made us all aware of the richness of the Scholastic heritage, and to have explained it to us latter-day semioticians. Even for those, who, like the present author, think that semiotics was alive and well between the dawn of the Latin Age, and the rediscovery of Scholastic realism by Peirce, the notions
Understanding wireless channels is crucial for the design of wireless systems. For mobile communication, sounders and antenna arrays with short measurement times are required to simultaneously capture the dynamic and spatial channel characteristics. Switched antenna arrays are an attractive option that can overcome the high cost of real arrays and the long measurement times of virtual arrays. Opti
16 oktober 2026 08:30 till 17:00 | The Lund University Critical Animal Studies Institute (LUCASI) is pleased to announce the Nordic-Baltic Symposium on Animal Studies: Present Challenges and Future Endeavours, which will take place on 16 October 2026 in Lund, Sweden. Bringing together researchers, practitioners and activists from across the region, the symposium will explore current legal and poli

OBJECTIVE: Mapping coreceptor epitopes used by the prototypic R5 and X4 strains, HIV-1BaL and HIV-1IIIB, in comparison with epitopes involved in the activation and signaling induced by the natural ligands, RANTES and SDF-1beta. DESIGN: Receptor hybrids between CCR5 and CXCR4 were constructed. METHODS: Using single-overlap and extension PCR, increasing portions of CCR5 were replaced with correspond
The aim of present study was to arrange an experimental rabbit model for IgA-nephropathy. To this purpose, an approach was attempted which was previously successfully applied in rabbits, aiming for induction of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN). To induce the nephropathy, we used two Streptococcus pyogenes strains of M4 and M60 serotypes which showed differential IgA-binding capacity me
GAD65 autoantibodies (GAD65Ab) are highly prevalent in type 1 diabetes, but their functional role in the pathogenesis of the disease and their relationship to T-cell reactivity to GAD65 is still unclear. We tested the hypothesis that GAD65Ab modulate presentation of GAD65 to T-cells. T-cell hybridoma T33.1, which recognizes the GAD65 274-286 epitope in the context of HLA-DRB1*0401, was incubated w
The prevalence of allergic disease is continuing to increase worldwide, and it has even become a major concern in public health. Allergic reactions are developed to otherwise harmless substances and may be both life-threatening as well as discomforting for patients in their daily life. Therefore, a more detailed knowledge about how antibodies interact with allergens and effector cells in allergic
