Popular Abstract in Swedish Människans immunförsvar har utvecklats under miljontals år för att i bästa möjliga mån skydda oss från infektioner och det sköter i de allra flesta fall det jobbet utmärkt. Ibland händer det dock att någonting går fel och konsekvensen kan bli väldigt obehaglig eller till och med förödande för den drabbade. Allergiska reaktioner är ett utmärkt exempel på en sådan situatiAntibodies of the IgE isotype play a key role as the allergen recognizer in allergic disease, which today affects as much as a third of the population in the industrialized parts of the world. Despite this crucial role of IgE, our knowledge of IgE repertoires and how we can utilize the information hidden in monoclonal IgE to improve the quality of life of allergic patients, is limited.

The motion of pre-existing edge dislocations in an infinite linear elastic body is studied. Motion is due to a quasi-statically steady-state growing crack. In the model, the dislocations glide if the force on the dislocation exceeds a critical value. Obtained results are changes in dislocation density, the shielding effect on the crack tip and residual stresses. The model is applied to an isotropi

This thesis is an exploratory study with the aim to identify and analyze similarities and differences between different actors perspective on adequate and equal protection against accidents.

I uppsatsen presenteras en kartläggning av den italienska poeten och filmskaparen Pier Paolo Pasolinis teoretiska utläggningar kring filmen som "verklighetens semiologi". Resonemangen kopplas här samman med Pasolinis idéer kring "den poetiska filmen" och begreppet "filmpoesi", vilka sedan förankras i en presentation av ett antal utvalda närstudier. I dessa diskuteras

År 2006 började den fredsbevarande FN-instansen UNMIS verka i det område som idag är Sydsudan, och under denna tidsperiod har prostitutionen i landet ökat med nästan 100 %. De fredsbevarande FN-soldaterna drar nytta av sin maktposition som beskyddare genom att utnyttja de sydsudanesiska kvinnorna sexuellt, kvinnorna de ursprungligen är utsända för att beskydda från paramilitära grupper. Detta feno

With the rise of sustainable consumerism and the sharing economy, access-based consumption has emerged as a notable trend, offering individuals temporary access to non-exclusively owned clothing. The shift in consumption habits and preferences challeng

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the fossilization in language acquisition of Italian of two Swedish learners. I intend to use the Processability Theory and the Theory of gradual construction of italian verbs of the Pavia project. I also intend to investigate the sources of linguistic input of the learners . Methodology: I have recorded two learners as they speak and based on th

Sverige är ett av världens ledande länder när det gäller export av krigsmateriel, och exporterar till såväl demokratier som icke-demokratier. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka hur Sveriges export av krigsmateriel är förenlig med landets åtaganden för bevarandet och skyddandet av de mänskliga rättigheterna på den internationella arenan genom att studera exporten till Förenade Arabemiraten, Norge och US

A specific motif depicting death is the personification of death in combination with a young woman. This constellation is usually referred to as “Death and the Maiden”.

In 2004, acute labour shortages were first observed in labour-intensive export-processing sectors in China’s coastal provinces. Paired with rising wages in rural and urban areas, many economists have claimed China has reached its Lewis Turning Point of economic development. This dissertation reviews these claims by context-testing Lewisian theory, and finds little evidence to suggest China has met

Previous studies of Thomas Pynchon’s works have made progress in defining numerous aspects of what could be construed as the Pynchonian worldview. However, they have mainly identified them in general, visual terms, separated from the level of the direct experience of his characters. The process of perception is important in philosophical inquiry, but its role in the worldview of Pynchon’s works ha

Background: For most patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) kidney transplantation is the best treatment option. Best outcomes are achieved with living donation. To increase access to living donation for patients who are not compatible with their living donors, Kidney Exchange Programs (KEPs) have evolved. By exchanging donors, compatibility can be achieved thus enabling transplantation.

To find approximate solutions to initial value problems (IVPs) one can use a wide range of numerical methods. A special group of IVPs referred to as stiff, can be numerically solved by a chain of methods, beginning with an implicit method then Newton's method and last, General minimal residual (GMRES). For GMRES to be more time-efficient, we need to apply a preconditioner to the system of equa

The interest of religion in the academia of history and the history of ideas has held an unobtrusive and modest position during modernity. Often, religion and its influences, was regarded as something waning, something that was about to disappear. Instead science would become the foremost guiding light upon which most historians would focus their gaze. This essay aims to examine how article-author
