Sun-like stars are well represented in the solar neighbourhood but are currently underutilized, with many studies of chemical and kinematic evolution focusing on red giants (which can be observed further away) or turn-off stars (which have well-measured ages). Recent surveys (e.g. GALAH) provide spectra for large numbers of nearby Sun-like stars, which provides an opportunity to apply our newly de
Sammanfattning Det är enbart arbetstagare som omfattas av det arbetsrättsliga skyddet i lagstiftningen. Därmed utgör arbetstagarbegreppet en viktig del av arbetsrätten. Definitionen av begreppet får en allt större betydelse då sättet att organisera arbetet förändras kontinuerligt i och med att nya anställningsformer tillkommer. Uppsatsen undersöker hur EU och Sverige definierar och tillämpar arbAbstract The Labour law protection only covers those who are considered employees. Thus, the concept of employee is a significant part of the Labour law. The definition is becoming increasingly important as the way of organizing the work is continuously changing as new forms of employment are added. The essay examines how the EU and Sweden define and apply the concept of employee and what similar
Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a chronic inflammatory process initiated when cholesterol-carrying low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is retained in the arterial wall. CD4+ T cells, some of which recognize peptide components of LDL as antigen, are recruited to the forming lesion, resulting in T-cell activation. Although these T cells are thought to be proatherogenic, LDL immunizat
Abstract – Background: Cytologic examination of lymph nodes and serous effusions is of value in the diagnosis of small cell lymphomas. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has recently published a reporting system relating to the cytologic examination of lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus to standardise the approach to reporting such specimens. Summary: An overview of the WHO reporting system is given
Rapid elasticity is one of the essential characteristics of cloud computing identified by NIST [17]. Elasticity allows resources to be provisioned and released to scale rapidly out ward and in ward according to demand. Tens - if not hundreds - of algorithms have been proposed in the literature to automatically achieve elastic provisioning [15, 23, 14, 21, 13, 20, 6, 12, 16, 10]. These algorithms a
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling har jag fördjupat mig i de ekologiska sambanden mellan några av de mest påtagliga och kända organismerna i sjöar och dammar, nämligen sjöfåglar, undervattensväxter, smådjur (från och med nu kallade evertebrater, vilket betyder ryggradslösa djur), och i viss grad fisk. Bland sjöfåglarna (här avses främst änder, gäss, svanar och sothöns) finns det både The aim of this thesis was to explore some of the important links between waterfowl and the biota in shallow eutrophic lakes in temperate areas. Waterfowl depend on macroinvertebrates as sources of protein and calcium, which are essential for egg production and growth. Macroinvertebrates in turn depend on submerged vegetation for food and shelter. Increased density of vegetation thus leads to incr
Additive manufacturing (AM), particularly Laser Powder Bed Fusion, produces surfaces with unique, randomly distributed spherical roughness that significantly influences heat transfer and pressure loss. This study models AM roughness using a statistical distribution of spheres and performs high-fidelity simulations at a bulk Reynolds number of 12,000 to evaluate heat transfer on a rough pipe. Stati
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known to regulate most biological processes and have been found dysregulated in a variety of diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we characterized miRNAs that associate with susceptibility to develop experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rats, a well-established animal model of MS. Using Illumina next-generation sequencing, we detected 544
Many HIV-2 and SIV isolates, as well as some HIV-1 strains, can use the orphan 7-transmembrane receptor GPR15 as co-receptor for efficient entry into host cells. GPR15 is expressed on central memory and effector memory CD4(+) T cells in healthy individuals and a subset of these cells is susceptible to HIV-1 and SIV infection. However, it has not been determined whether GPR15 expression is altered
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) exhibit profound but unique immunomodulatory activities in animals but their molecular mechanisms are incompletely understood. Early studies suggested that Gal-1 inhibits leukocyte function by inducing apoptotic cell death and removal, but recent studies show that some galectins induce exposure of the common death signal phosphatidylserine (PS) independent
I studien undersöks utmaningar och förbättringsförslag relaterade till arbetsmiljö, säkerhet och kommunikation inom byggindustrin för utländska arbetstagare, med extra fokus på länderna Polen och Litauen. Fri rörlighet för arbetstagare inom EU, som fastställs av artikel 45 i EUF-fördraget, möjliggör lika tillgång till både arbetsmöjligheter och behandling oavsett nationalitet. Syftet med studien The study examines challenges and improvement suggestions related to the work environment, safety, and communication within the construction industry for foreign workers, with a particular focus on Poland and Lithuania. The free movement of workers within the EU, as established by Article 45 of the treaty on the functioning of the European Union, ensures equal access to both employment opportuniti
The purpose of the study is to investigate the growing trend in consumers to go back to basic lifestyle and to reveal how different events, meanings, experiences and ideas have a role to play in this change in consumers’ attitude. The paper aims to understand this new rising trend and consumer interest and provide a theoretical explanation of the phenomenon. The study focuses on barefoot / minimal
Title: Guys from the suburb and extraordinary robbers from Södermalm. The construction of cultural identity in Swedish hip hopmusic. Aim: The aim of the essay was to investigate how texts from three Swedish Hip Hop artists construct representations of reality. The main focus of the essay was to look at the (re)construction of cultural identity within the Swedish Hip Hop culture. Questions that ha
Denna utredning granskar hur proportionalitetsprincipen används i ett förarbete som föreslår straffskärpningar. Syftet är att problematisera huruvida proportionalitetsprincipen kan tillförsäkra enhetliga bedömningar av förhållandet mellan brott och straff på ett sätt som tillgodoser intresset av rättvisa bestraffningar och en begränsning av statens bestraffande makt. Utredningen granskar därför prThis thesis examines how the principle of proportionality is used in a law proposal that suggests increased penalties. It aims to problematize if the principle of proportionality can ensure stable assessments of the relationship between crime and punishment in a way that satisfies the interest of fair punishment and that limits the punitive power of the state. It is therefore interested in examini
Urban establishment from scratch based on a smart city vision has been mainstreamed as a strategy to achieve urban sustainability goals. However, the smart city model itself has been criticized because of how the techno-centric solutions it uses could potentially lead to economic and social inequality. Urban Political Ecology (UPE) focuses on how the urban production process involve commodificatio
How mergers affect galaxy formation depends on both feedback processes, and on the geometry and strength of the mergers themselves. We introduce the PARADIGM project, where we study the response of a simulated Milky-Way-mass galaxy (M200c ∼ 1012 M at z = 0) forming in a cosmological setting to differing merger histories, using genetically modified initial conditions, each simulated with the VINTER
With increasing urbanisation, cities face unique sustainability challenges and opportunities. The sharing economy emerges as a promising solution that can foster more efficient and circular use of urban resources through car sharing, accommodation rentals and the sharing of physical goods. It scrutinises traditional notions of consumption and ownership, business and community interaction. Digital
In recent years, the empirical literature on cross-national unions—marriages between migrants and members of the majority population—has experienced a shift in focus, with an increasing number of studies examining assortative mating patterns within these unions. This shift marks a significant development, indicating that the classic assimilation theory is no longer considered the sole explanation
