Here we unravel the structural features of human IgM and IgA that govern their interaction with the human Fc alpha/mu receptor (hFc alpha/mu R). Ligand polymerization status was crucial for the interaction, because hFc alpha/mu R binding did not occur with monomeric Ab of either class. hFc alpha/mu R bound IgM with an affinity in the nanomolar range, whereas the affinity for dimeric IgA (dIgA) was

The exemptions in the public interest in Article 132 of the VAT directive constitute independent concepts of Community law whose purpose is to avoid divergences in the application of the VAT system from one Member State to another. In deciding whether a good or service is exempt the case law of the CJEU has established two main principles, the principle of fiscal neutrality and the principle of st
This paper explores the potential of corpus data to account for language users’ mental representations of a high-frequency item that is prone to phonetic reduction. We present an analysis of the realisations of semi-modal have to in spoken American English, which is a candidate for to-contraction (compare wanna and gotta) but has no clearly established contracted form. The study therefore focusses
With an increasing population, the demand for housing also increases. Due to renovation and retrofitting of the housing stock it is possible to give the future resident a modern housing and at the same time reduce the energy demand for the building. Reusing buildings is often a more sustainable way to develop housing because it results in less waste and lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to d
Civic integration is an essential part of contemporary migration control regimes. This thesis examines what happens when civic integration policy enters domestic courts, by focusing on how Sweden’s migration courts (which are part of the administrative courts) apply the income and housing requirements for family reunification.The thesis revolves around a common discussion in the legal literature,

Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun
Climate change increases the need for climate-adapted cities. In order to sustainably manage climate risks such as increased precipitation and temperatures, alternative solutions are required. Including nature-based solutions into urban planning can help mitigate these risks. Nature-based solutions are supported or inspired by nature and aim to solve problems related to climate change. The purpose
