BACKGROUND: The human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes produces an endoglycosidase, EndoS that hydrolyzes the chitobiose core of the asparagine-linked glycan on the heavy chain of human IgG. IgG-binding to Fc gamma receptors (FcgammaR) on leukocytes triggers effector functions including phagocytosis, oxidative burst and the release of inflammatory mediators. The interactions between FcgammaR and th
Epidemiological studies have shown a high prevalence of mental illness among the elderly. Clinical data however indicate both insufficient detection and treatment of illnesses. Suggested barriers to treatment include conceptions that mental health symptoms belong to normal aging and lack of competence among staff in elderly care in detecting mental illness. A Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainin
Popular AbstractI avhandlingen undersöks den ekonomiska omvandlingsprocess som skett i Sverige sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Av speciellt intresse är hur och varför de fördelar som företag och branscher åtnjuter på grund av samlokalisering med andra ekonomiska aktörer (så kallade agglomerationsexternaliteter) varierar över olika faser av ekonomisk omvandling. Avhandlingen baserar sig på de framsteg This thesis investigates the process of economic transformation taking place in Sweden since the mid 1970s. Especially, it is concerned with how and why benefits that firms and industries draw from regional co-location with other actors (agglomeration externalities) vary over stages of economic transformation. Drawing on recent findings within the fields of evolutionary economics and evolutionary
The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is a well-studied non-obese spontaneous type 2 diabetes (T2D) animal model characterized by impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in the pancreatic beta cells. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short regulatory RNAs involved in many fundamental biological processes. We aim to identify miRNAs that are differentially-expressed in the pancreatic islets of the GK rats an
We consider the following problems related to the construction and analysis of turbo-codes: asymptotic behavior of interleavers (permutors), asymptotic behavior of the minimum distance, and also some examples of practical application of the developed methods to concrete turbo-codes.
Advanced driving assistance systems that offer support by operating for example longitudinal control will have an effect on the transport system. Previous studies have also shown that drivers may be slower to respond in hazardous situations with systems like adaptive cruise control (ACC) engaged, if the system suddenly fails. Little understanding has, so far, emerged to explain why. In this thesis
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNB) has poor prognosis and moreover patients with TNB do not benefit from established targeted drugs with endocrine therapy or trastuzumab. The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence of candidate biomarkers in tumors from patients with TNB. Tissue microarrays were prepared from primary tumors from premenopausal breast cancer patients (500/564) randomized to
Substandard newborn care has been identified as a major contributor to the estimated annual 4 million neonatal deaths and 1 million fresh stillbirths. Low-income countries, including Nigeria account for more than 95% of all cases. A cross-sectional comparative study utilising non-participant observation methods was used to study perinatal care at two maternity centres in Lagos, Nigeria. Data on 63

ABSTRACT: muscle cells (VSMCs) through activation of endothelin type A (ETA) and type B (ETB) receptors. The extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are involved in ET-1-induced VSMC contraction and proliferation. This study was designed to investigate the ETA and ETB receptor intracellular signaling in human VSMCs and used phosphorylation (a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Från skärva till kärl fokuserar på ett arkeologiskt massmaterial, en materialkategori som är särskilt vanlig framför andra bland de arkeologiska fynden. Skärvor är fragment av keramiska kärl och analysen kommer att färdas från det lilla till det något större - från skärva till kärl. I centrum återfinns de kärl som varit i bruk i Uppsala från 1100-talets mitt till 1700-tAbstract From Sherd to Pot. A Contribution to the History of Everyday Life in Uppsala tackles the question: how is the culturally created reality produced, fixed, and changed, and how can this be related to the social structure as a whole? The hypothesis is that changes in society result in new cultural patterns which can be read in objects. The work consists of three main parts, an extensive summ
