Plasma cystatin C is increasingly used as a marker of glomerular filtration rate. Most assays for cystatin C are based on turbidimetric or nephelometric detection and studies of other rapid methods are limited. This study aimed to develop and compare differently configured immunoassays for quantification of plasma cystatin C, using recombinant cystatin C and two cystatin C-specific antibodies. Met
The ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 (TNFAIP3) and the deubiquitinase CYLD are central negative regulators of NF-kappa B signaling. Both can act by removing nonproteolytic K63-linked polyubiquitin chains from an overlapping set of signaling molecules. In B cells, A20 deficiency results in hyperactivity, loss of immune homeostasis, inflammation, and autoimmunity. The reported consequences of CYLD defic
Abstract in Spanish A pesar de que el mercado laboral sueco ha permanecido relativamente intacto durante la crisis económica en los últimos seis años, la integración de personas con capacidad laboral reducida a causa de discapacidades es significativamente menor que la de otros grupos sociales. La legislación sueca sobre discapacidad y trabajo cubre varios aspectos en medidas de integración, antidEven though the Swedish labour market has been more or less intact during the financial crisis in the past six years, persons with reduced working capacity due to disabilities are significantly less integrated in the labour market than other groups in society. Swedish legislation on disability and work provides for a number of different aspects of integrative measures, anti-discrimination and prov
For further investigations in the field of artificial photosynthesis, a model compound, 1, has been developed to mimic the electron-transfer steps from the manganese cluster to P680+ in photosystem II. In this model compound the photosensitizer ruthenium(II)-trisbipyridyl was linked to a manganese(II) ion through a bridging ligand. Photoexcitation of 1 in the presence of the electron acceptor meth
Solens påverkan på klimatet är ett hett ämne i dagens klimatdebatt och utgör en av de största osäkerheterna i vår kunskap om klimatsystemet. Det finns flera sätt som förändringar i solaktivitet skulle kunna påverka klimatet på. En av de föreslagna länkarna mellan solaktivitet och klimat är att den galaktiska kosmiska strålningen (GCR) påverkar bildningen av låga moln. På grund av att låga moln harThe solar influence on climate is a hot topic in today’s climate debate and constitutes one of the largest uncertainties in our knowledge about the climate system. There are several ways in which solar activity changes could affect climate. One of the suggested links between solar activity and climate is an influence from galactic cosmic rays (GCR) on the formation of low clouds. Because of the ne
This study investigated the possibilities of identifying leading objective indicators of safety across shipping organisations. Leading objective indicators of safety are safety culture related metrics that are statistically correlated with safety performance data which enables a more proactive approach to safety management. The conclusion was that no indicators could be identified, at least no
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka fyra nutida pianopedagogers syn på hur Frédéric Chopins pianometodik har utvecklats från kompositörens tid fram till nutid. Litteraturen som används för denna studie fokuserar på Chopins tankar om undervisning, Chopin-spel under olika tider, samt traditionsöverföring. Studien baseras på personliga intervjuer och en kvalitativ metod. Data samlas in genom intTitle: "Clever, but not Chopinesque" - A study of four contemporary piano pedagogues’views on Frédéric Chopin’s piano method through the years The purpose of this study is to investigate four contemporary piano pedagogues’ views on how Frédéric Chopin’s pedagogical piano method has developed from the time of the composer to the present day. The literature used for this study focused on C

With the book Låt den rätte komma in and the movie with the same name, I have made an analyzes based on founding out why Tomas Alfredson, the director of the movie cut out some important details from the book while making the movies script together with John Ajvide Lindquist, the auth
Området svensk modehistoria växer mer än någonsin tidigare, men det är fortfarande en liten och sårbar miljö. Få forskare ägnar sig åt modehistoria som sitt huvudsakliga expertområde. Modehistoria är ett relativt nytt forskningsområde med rötter i etnologi, konsthistoria och museiverksamhet. Idag finns det ett svenskt nätverk för modehistoria, men miljön behöver stärkas genom doktorandprojekt och The field of Swedish fashion history is expanding more than ever before, but it remains a small and vulnerable environment. Few researchers devote themselves to fashion history as their main area of expertise. Fashion history is a relatively new field of research with roots in ethnology, art history, and museums. Today, there is a Swedish fashion history network, but the environment needs to be

Theory predicts democracy should reduce corruption. Yet, scholars have found that while corruption is low at high levels of democracy, it is high at modest levels, as well as low when democracy is absent. A weakness of studies that aim to explain this inverted curvilinear relationship is that they do not disaggregate the complex concepts of democracy and corruption. By contrast, this paper disaggr
Background: The optimal surgical excision margins are uncertain for patients with thick (>2 mm) localised cutaneous melanomas. In our previous report of this multicentre, randomised controlled trial, with a median follow-up of 6·7 years, we showed that a narrow excision margin (2 cm vs 4 cm) did not affect melanoma-specific nor overall survival. Here, we present extended follow-up of this cohort.
Primordial black holes formed through the collapse of cosmological density fluctuations have been hypothesized as contributors to the dark matter content of the Universe. At the same time, their mergers could contribute to the recently observed population of gravitational-wave sources. We investigate the scenario in which primordial black holes form binaries at late times in the Universe. Specific
Senescence was recently linked to neurodegeneration and astrocytes are one of the major cell types to turn senescent under neurodegenerative conditions. Senescent astrocytes were detected in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients' brains besides reactive astrocytes, yet the difference between senescent and reactive astrocytes is unclear. We aimed to characterize senescent astrocytes in comparison to re
Sterile liver inflammation and fibrosis are associated with many liver disorders of different etiologies. Both type 1 and type 2 inflammatory responses have been reported to contribute to liver pathology. However, the mechanisms controlling the balance between these responses are largely unknown. Natural killer T (NKT) cells can be activated to rapidly secrete cytokines and chemokines associated w
There is a clinical need for improved wound treatments that prevent both infection and excessive inflammation. TCP-25, a thrombin-derived peptide, is antibacterial and scavenges pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as lipopolysaccharide, thereby preventing CD14 interaction and Toll-like receptor dimerization, leading to reduced downstream immune activation. Here, we describe the de
The discovery, in 2004, of extracellular traps released by neutrophils has extended our understanding of the mode of action of various innate immune cells. This fascinating discovery demonstrated the extracellular trapping and killing of various pathogens by neutrophils. During the last decade, evidence has accumulated showing that extracellular traps play a crucial role in the defence mechanisms

Sverigedemokraternas vitbok, som partiledaren Jimmie Åkesson presenterade 2017, har väckt stor uppmärksamhet genom att återuppta viktiga aspekter av partiets historia. Även om dessa frågor har behandlats i tidigare forskning är det fortfarande aktuellt att återkomma till dem. Vitboken är författad av idéhistorikern Tony Gustafsson och använder sig av en omfattande källanalys för att påvisa SverigeThe Sweden Democrats’ white paper, announced by party leader Jimmie Åkesson in 2017, has generated significant discussion by revisiting key aspects of the party’s history. Although these issues have been addressed in previous research, their reiteration remains relevant. Authored by historian of ideas Tony Gustafsson, the white paper employs comprehensive source analysis to demonstrate the Sweden
