The class I genes of the major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) are here investigated for the first time in a passerine bird. The great reed warbler is a rare species in Sweden with a few semi-isolated populations. Yet, we found extensive Mhc class I variation in the study population. The variable exon 3, corresponding to the alpha(2) domain, was amplified from genomic DNA with degenerated primers
Im März 1847 erließ Papst Pius IX die Enzyklika „Praedecessores Nostros“, die die katholische Geistlichkeit weltweit aufrief, zur Linderung der großen irischen Hungersnot drei Tage der Gebete und Kollekten abzuhalten. Die Bischöfe, die diese Botschaft in den italienischen Staaten weiterführten, verfassten ihrerseits Appelle zur lokalen Durchführung des Triduums. Sie animierten die Gläubigen, dem B
The use of Islamic symbols in metal music has, until now, been a rare phenomenon. A few years ago, some black metal-bands in Istanbul started using Islamic symbols in both their artwork and lyrics, often in an anti-Islamic fashion. Although research on metal music is well established, little has been done on the relationship between black metal and Islam. This thesis explores the relationship betw
One excuse for not making use of the visual sources is the difficulty in interpreting them. Before the historian can even try to make valid use of an image, he has to know what he is looking for, when and for what purpose it was made, in what circumstances, current visual conventions, technical and other constraints.1 Thus, extracting information from visual sources and combining it with literary
Refugee rights are reserved for the few lucky enough to evade the sophisticated deterrence regime, while the vast majority of the world’s refugees are referred to a life in semi-permanent limbo.
The article investigates social learning of doping among elite athletes, based on qualitative interviews with 10 former competitive powerlifters, which were analyzed with Lave and Wenger’s learning theories. The constitution of the social context–the sports community–and specific situations were decisive for how the informants acted in relation to doping. The informants were situated in a powerlif
Den här uppsatsen undersöker med hjälp av receptionsstudier huruvida människors tolkning av filmen Snövit (1937) har förändrats i ett nutida sammanhang. Den teoretiska grunden utgörs av Stuart Halls receptionsstudier och teorier kring tre olika typer av tolkningar; dominant, förhandlande och oppositionell tolkning. Laura Mulveys teorier om the male gaze används för att nå en djupare analys. Teorie
This essay examines the TV series Sherlock (2010-) from a gender perspective. My main goal with this study was to see whether the TV series challenges the traditional notions on gender and sexuality and also behaviors connected to these categories. But also how at the same time it reminds us of and is influenced by heteronormative notions. To achieve this, I have been inspired by theories drawn fr
Osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts (OCs) are involved in the bone production and resorption, which are crucial in bone homeostasis. OC hyperactivation plays a role in the exaggerated bone resorption of diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteolytic tumor metastases. This work stems from the finding that OCs can express B7h (ICOS-Ligand), which is the ligand of the ICOS T
Popular Abstract in Swedish Systemisk skleros (SSc) är en relativt ovanlig reumatologisk sjukdom som kan engagera många av kroppens organ. Sjukdomen kallas ibland också för sklerodermi. Typiskt för sjukdomen är att huden omvandlas till fibros och blir hård och stram över olika delar av kroppen. Typiskt för sjukdomen är också att drabbade patienter har försämrad funktion i sina blodkärl, framförallSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic rheumatic disease with significant mortality and morbidity. Different estimations of disease prevalence and incidence have been presented from various parts of the world. While lung involvement is a common cause of SSc-related death, a majority of SSc patients suffer from symptoms originating in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. By combining data from a popu
