Hemoglobin is the major oxygen-carrying system of the blood, but has many potentially dangerous side effects due to oxidation and reduction reactions of the heme-bound iron and oxygen. Extracellular hemoglobin, resulting from hemolysis or exogenous infusion, is shown to be an important pathogenic factor in a growing number of diseases. This review briefly outlines the oxidative/reductive toxic rea
There is not much that can compete with pre- paring and enjoying a meal, cooked to perfec- tion, in the company of friends. No matter how skilled you are at cooking or baking, it is impossible to achieve the same quality of bread and pizza as in a restaurant since a regular household oven will not genera- te the temperature or taste needed. To solve this I set out to design a way for homeowner
Jezebel (in this essay, Isebel) is often described as the evillest woman in the Bible and has for many reasons become a favourite in feminist exegesis. In this thesis, I put Jezebel in her context: historical, religious, social, political, and try to discern the following aspects: • How is Isebel as a character depicted in the Bible? • Why is she depicted in this way? • What can we know about Iseb
In the following years we will experience a transition towards Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The reason is the depletion of IPv4 address space due to the rapid increasing numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connection. This transition however poses a problem, since the majority of these devices mostly are mobile and not connected to power source. Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) def
Sweden has the reputation of being one of the most sustainable and innovative countries in the world, when it comes to environment-related technology. However, the ecological footprint rates indicate, that Swedes are currently living lifestyles that would require the equivalent of four Earth-like planets to sustain. Most carbon foot-print emissions are closely connected to household activities, wi
Coworking is a global phenomenon that is currently changing the daily work-life for knowledge workers. Instead of sitting in their old traditional offices, sitting at home or in the cafes, they are starting to see the upsides of coworking. The concept came to Sweden and the city of Gothenburg in the start of the century, and during recent years the total volume of coworking-spaces has grown rapidl
In the last year Sweden and especially Skåne in Sweden has experienced rapid growth in immigration rates. Combined with already existing levels of immigration, many headlines has screamed out bold words, - “crisis, collapse, racism” and generally questioned the unclear future for Sweden. Immigration has caused increase in population and therefore the need for cities to develop in larger extents. B
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of consumers' perceptions of the phenomenon of brand activism, and how they respond to it. Theoretical perspective: For the theoretical foundation we drew upon the literature streams within brand activism, consumer activism and brand meaning. Based on these three literature streams we identified relevant key concepts and c
Modern society is characterized by rapid population growth and urbanization. The urban population is exposed to many risks connected to the urban way of living such as the effects of climate change, loss of biodiversity and health risks. Sustainable urban planning where ecosystem services and nature-based solutions are included can mitigate these risks. The purpose of this study is to investigate
This dissertation has examined Fjällrävens backpack Kånken, and its interconnection with the individual's social identity, as well as the group affiliation to the style culture indie. The study has also treated Kånken and its expression of fashion in connection with the style culture indie. In the answering of questions we have conducted an ethnographic study, with a total of 8 people being in
In this paper, I seek to investigate the effect of economic conditions on mental ill health and substance abuse among young adults in Sweden. I investigate whether this effect differs across population subgroups, defined by age, sex, foreign background and educational attainment. In robustness analyses, I also investigate asymmetry in the effect of macroeconomic conditions on mental health and sub
Sverige är ett av Europiska Unionens mest digitaliserade länder och det finns mycket att vinna på en fortsatt anpassning till de nya förutsättningar som digitaliseringen skapar. Tjugo år efter antagandet av det befintliga rättsliga ramverket som idag är tillämpligt på området, har EU-kommissionen, som ett led av nya och innovativa affärsmodeller presenterat ett förslag till förordning som nu har aSweden is one of the most digitalized countries in the European Union, and there is much to gain from a continuous adaptation of the advantages which digitalization creates. Twenty years after adopting the current legal framework within the area, the European Commission, led by new and innovative business models, has presented a proposal for a regulation which is now adopted (The Digital Services
The Kalix River, located in the northern part of Sweden, experiences a slowdown in water flow during cold winters. However, in spring, when snow and ice melt in the mountains, the water flow starts to increase. Towards the end of spring, there is usually a rapid and unpredictable surge in water flow known as the spring flood. The arrival of the spring flood is stochastic in time and does not occur
Epithelial ovarian carcinoma has in general a poor prognosis since the vast majority of tumors are genomically unstable and clinically highly aggressive. This results in rapid progression of malignancy potential while still asymptomatic and thus in late diagnosis. It is therefore of critical importance to develop methods to diagnose epithelial ovarian carcinoma at its earliest developmental stage,
The bioactivity of neuropeptide Y (NPY) is either N-terminally modulated with respect to receptor-selectivity by dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DP4)-like enzymes or proteolytic degraded by neprilysin or meprins, thereby abrogating signal transduction. However, neither the subcellular nor the compartmental differentiation of these regulatory mechanisms is fully understood. Using mass spectrometry, selecti
In situ laser diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, and thermography have been used to investigate particle formation and particle size distribution of alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) produced by rapid expansion of supercritical solution (RESS). The investigated RESS process is based on an earlier reported method to prepare superhydrophobic coatings. Spray distance, pre-expansion tempe
Boreal forests play a key role in the global carbon cycle and are facing rapid shifts in nitrogen availability with poorly understood consequences for ecosystem function and global climate change. We quantified the effects of increasing nitrogen availability on carbon fluxes from a relatively understudied component of these forests - the forest floor - at three intervals over the summer growing pe
Objective: This study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that beta-adrenoceptor stimulation of fetal lung fluid absorption in near-term guinea pig fetuses involves bumetanide-sensitive ion transport. Study design: Fetuses were obtained from timed-pregnant guinea pigs at 61 to 69 days' gestation with and without oxytocin-induced preterm labor. The fetuses were placed on continuous positive airwa

Whether bacterial vaginosis (BV) is acquired from an endogenous or an exogenous source is subject to controversy Despite findings of an association between sexual behaviour and BV some data indicate t
