This work aimed to characterize single chain fragment variables (scFvs) against S100A7 and Calprotectin, proteins part of the Ca2+ binding S100 family that have been associated with inflammatory diseases and cancer. The mechanisms governing the physiological functions of S100 proteins are not fully understood, but it is known that many of them contribute to maintaining homeostasis in the intracell

Unicorns – privately-owned companies with a market valuation upwards of $1 billion – develop at an explosive growth rate. This hypergrowth forces unicorns to attract external partners enabling and supporting their development. Therefore, the right compilation of external growth domains allows unicorns to remain healthy and self-sustaining. To investigate external domains, a recent surge in literat

This report discusses the use of magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) as a diagnostic imaging method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast agent. With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e

The purpose of this study is to research how the principle of the best interest of the child expresses itself in custody disputes. The subject is based on how the principle does not have a clear description in the law. The district court therefore possesses room to interpret what they consider to be the best interest of the child in each individual case. The aim of the study is therefore to, throu

The rehabilitation techniques currently available for patients who suffer from injury to the ulnar or median nerve tends to give suboptimal results. Typically, adults who are operated due to a complete transection of the median or ulnar nerve never regain normal sensibility in the injured hand leading to severe limitations in terms of hand function. One of the biggest challenges in sensory rehabil

The commissioning phase is the last phase of a construction project when all subsystems come together to be tested as a whole, working as a single entity. This phase is often the most crucial and time-sensitive part of the project as the construction occupies space in the factory and inflicts down¬time in processes without adding value. Faults found in this phase can be time-consuming to correct a

En tingsrättsförhandling sker inom ramen för en specifik social kontext. När en kvinna dessutom är tilltalad i brottmål så överskrids ett normativt kvinnligt beteende. Det som skildras under rättegångens muntliga framföranden kan återspegla sociala normer och parternas förhållningssätt till dem. Syftet med den föreliggande uppsatsen är att undersöka om genus- och offernormer återfinns i andra aktö

Syfte: Denna studie ämnar att undersöka vad konsumenter värdesätter vid valet mellan e-handel och fysisk butik. Metod: Studiens metod grundar sig i en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi, där det empiriska materialet består av 15 semistrukturerade intervjuer. Ansatsen är formad utav en kombination av induktion och abduktion. Teoretiska perspektiv: Det teoretiska ramverket utgörs av köpprocessen, konsuPurpose: This study aims to examine what consumers value when purchasing online versus in physical stores. Methodology: The study method is based on a qualitative research strategy, where the empirical material consists of 15 semi-structured interviews. The approach is shaped by a combination of induction and abduction. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical framework consists of the buying de

This study examines what challenges organisations might face when supporting their employees in self-directed learning. Self-directed learning, SDL, is a learning process where learners are responsible for identifying their learning needs, setting learning goals, initiating the learning process and evaluating the results. Previous research has shown the benefits of having self-directed learners as

Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka om porrkonsumtion och traditionella maskulina normer predicerar kvinnoobjektifiering. Studien ämnade att bidra med kunskap och psykologisk forskning om effekterna av pornografi eftersom pornografins roll i samhället är större än de senaste decennierna och relativt outforskad. Datainsamlingen producerades genom en digital enkätundersökning som besvarades aThe aim of this study was to examine if pornographic consumption and traditional masculine norms can predict the objectification of women. Furthermore, the purpose of exploring the subject of the study was to contribute with knowledge and psychological research about the effects of pornography as pornography’s’ role in contemporary society is greater than in recent decades and relatively unexplore

Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda hur man kan implementera och optimera användningen av en inspektionsrobot, på en byggarbetsplats. Detta examensarbete grundar sig i en fallstudie, där användningen av en inspektionsrobot vid skyddsronder undersöks. Fallstudien bygger på material som samlats in från roboten, intervjuer och observationer. Utöver fallstudien har det även genomförts en litteratur

This thesis explores the impact of extreme weather events during gestation and infancy on multiple outcomes, especially early labour income. The subjects are Indian children born between 1993/94 from the Young Lives longitudinal study. The weather shocks are extracted from the NOAA geo-referenced weather data. Thanks to Mediation Analysis methodology applied, not only the Direct Effects of early l

Determination of polyamines in biological fluids possesses medical diagnostic relevance. Despite the vast panel of analytical methods developed for polyamines they are not applied in routine clinical usage, mainly due to the time and labor consuming sample preparation step and complicated derivatization. procedures. Thus, new simpler methods are needed. This paper describes a single hollow fiber S

Popular Abstract in German Spannungsgesteuerte Kalziumkanäle haben eine große Bedeutung in vielen elektrisch erregbaren Zellen, wie z.B. in Nervenzellen und pankreatischen beta-Zellen. Hier werden sie folgendermaßen aktiviert: In der Nahrung enthaltener Traubenzucker (Glukose) wird nach einer Mahlzeit über den Blutstrom im Körper verteilt und in die beta-Zellen über Glukosetransporter aufgenommen.Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are essential transducers of cellular signals in many electrically excitable cells. In the pancreatic beta-cell they mediate controlled Ca2+ influx, which is the final trigger for Ca2+ dependent release (exocytosis) of the blood glucose lowering hormone insulin. Several subtypes of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels are known and the L-type has been found to be the main contri

The local electronic structure of glycine in neutral, basic, and acidic aqueous solution is studied experimentally by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretically by molecular dynamics simulations accompanied by first-principle electronic structure and spectrum calculations. Measured and computed nitrogen and carbon is binding energies are assigned to different local atomic environments, whi

We present a combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics and quantum statistical investigation of the interactions between a Molecule (SO2) and an aerosol particle including rate constants for the uptake process. A coupled cluster/molecular mechanics method including explicit polarization is used along with a quantum statistical method for calculating sticking coefficients. The importance of th

Soil moisture induced droughts are expected to become more frequent under future global climate change. Precipitation has been previously assumed to be mainly responsible for variability in summer soil moisture. However, little is known about the impacts of precipitation frequency on summer soil moisture, either interannually or spatially. To better understand the temporal and spatial drivers of s

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the visibility of simulated lesions in 2D digital mammography (DM) and breast tomosynthesis (BT) images of patients. Methods: Images of the same women were acquired on both a DM system (Mammomat Novation, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) and a BT prototype system adapted from the same type of DM system. Using the geometrical properties of the
