The Erasmus exchange is a recent phenomena that has seen a steady growth in participation, and it seems that it is just a matter of time before it will be a fundamental part of students’ life. The participation of young Europeans to such exchange gives them the possibility to experiment a new, more direct way of living Europe. My thesis wants to analyse how study exchanges are shaping the percepti
This research platform gathers scholars from a number of disciplines to interrogate the complex ideological, historical, and practical interactions between Christianity and nationalism. The platform understands both terms broadly; it investigates various forms of Christianity and different shapes of nationalism — through political, economic, sociological, historical, theological and philosophical

First objective: To bring forward managers’ perceptions of the underserved consumers in emerging markets. Second objective: To reveal what implications managers’ perceptions of underserved consumers in emerging markets provide for branding in these markets. Our study indicates that managers’ perceptions are still lacking consumer insights within five elements (value, loyalty, purchasing power, con

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is routinely required during pre-participation screening in the presence of symptoms, family history of sudden cardiac death or cardiomyopathies <40-year-old, murmurs, abnormal ECG findings or in the follow-up of athletes with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). TTE is a cost-effective first-line imaging modality to evaluate the cardiac remodeling due to
Sepsis är ett allvarligt, systemiskt svar på infektion och orsakas ofta av bakterier. Dödligheten kan vara upp till 30%. Snabb och korrekt diagnostik är central då dödligheten ökar med 8% för varje timme som går utan att patienten får adekvat behandling. Sepsis är tämligen okänt för allmänheten, och svårfångat pga hastig progress och olikheter i ursprung. Forskningen kring sepsis är underfinansierSepsis is a severe, systemic response to infection, often caused by bacteria. Approx. 30 million cases occur worldwide each year causing up to 8 million deaths. The mortality is as high as 30%. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial, as mortality increases with 8% every hour that appropriate treatment is delayed. Sepsis is fairly unknown to the general public, and complicated by its rapid progres
Humanity injects an almost incomprehensible 42 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into the atmosphere every year. The majority of this comes from burning fossil fuels, but a substantial portion, about 16%, arises from how we use the land. Most of these land-use emissions are caused by deforestation, particularly in the tropics.In order to slow climate change, the global community needs to redu
Fat cadherins constitute a subclass of the large cadherin family characterized by the presence of 34 cadherin motifs. To date, three mammalian Fat cadherins have been described; however, only limited information is known about the function of these molecules. In this paper, we describe the second fat cadherin in Drosophila, fat-like (ftl). We show that ftl is the true orthologue of vertebrate fat-
The universally recognised action spectrum for the UV-induced conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to previtamin D3 in human skin was published in 1982, and indicates a maximum at about 297 nm with essentially no production above 315 nm. This work represents a milestone in research on vitamin D, but limitations in the original data should be recognised. Various findings have arisen in recent years w
Artros är vår vanligaste ledsjukdom och kännetecknas av att brosket i leden successivt bryts ned i kombination med funktionsnedsättning samt rörelse- och belastningssmärta. Processen är långsam; brosknedbrytning pågår under flera år utan påtagliga symptom. Först långt fram i processen syns röntgenologiska förändringar. Enligt evidensbaserade riktlinjer är den primära behandlingen fysioterapi och iOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequently occurring joint disease and is characterized by a gradual degradation of joint cartilage as well as pain and loss of function. The disease progression is slow; degradation of cartilage occurs for several years prior to symptoms. Radiological changes occur much later in the process. According to current evidence-based guidelines, the primary treatment is p
