Alpha-1-microglobulin (A1M) is a small protein found intra- and extracellularly in all tissues of vertebrates. The protein was discovered 40 years ago and its physiological role remained unknown for a long time. A series of recent publications have demonstrated that A1M is a vital part of tissue housekeeping. A strongly electronegative free thiol group forms the structural basis of heme-binding, r
Individuals are often restricted to indirect cues when assessing the mate value of a potential partner. Females of some species have been shown to copy each other’s choice; in other words, the probability of a female choosing a particular male increases if he has already been chosen by other females. Recently it has been suggested that mate-choice copying could be an important aspect of human mate
In this paper, we present Vendian palaeomagnetic data for continent Baltica, based on results from the 608 +/- 1 Ma old Sarek Dyke Swarm in northern Sweden. The dykes sit in the Sarektjahkka Nappe of the Seve Nappes, which were thrust eastwards over the Baltic craton during the early Palaeozoic Caledonian Orogeny. In spite of long transport distances as well as deformation and metamorphism in the
Abstract in UndeterminedThe dimeric CuA site found in cytochrome c oxidase and nitrous oxide reductase has been studied with the density functional B3LYP method. We have optimized the structure of the realistic (Im)(S(CH3)2)- Cu(SCH3)2Cu(Im)(CH3CONHCH3) model in the fully reduced, mixed-valence, and fully oxidized states. The optimized structures are very similar to crystal structures of the prote
PURPOSE: To determine the effective time window for MR imaging of tumors with blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage after injection of Gd-containing contrast media. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eleven patients with 15 brain lesions (metastasis, glioma, abscess) were studied with a T1-weighted spin-echo sequence repeated over periods of up to 43 min after contrast injection. A quotient was calculated between t
What do employees need in order to be innovative? In this paper, we explored how employees with different lengths of tenure within the research and development (R&D) department of a company in the automotive industry answer this question. We found that the needs vary depending on the length of the employee's tenure. New employees view innovation as an organisational work issue and employees wi
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det vid ansökan om asyl, då sexuell läggning åberopas som skyddsskäl, ställs ett för högt beviskrav på den asylsökande samt om Migrationsverkets och migrationsdomstolarnas tillämpning av reglerna är enhetlig, och om så inte är fallet, vilka skillnader som finns i tillämpningen. Jag har granskat tretton beslut och domar från Migrationsverket samt landets migratThe purpose of this essay is to examine whether the evidence requirements are to high for the asylum seeker in cases when sexual orientation is invoked as the reason for need of protection. Also, whether the application of the legislation by the first and second instances in Sweden is uniform, and if not, what differences there are. To attain the purpose, I have examined thirteen decisions of the
A large number of studies have explored the relations between unemployment and alcohol-related health, but so far there is no consensus among the results. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring how unemployment is related to overall alcohol consumption as well as to the rates of alcohol poisoning, alcohol addiction and alcohol-related liver disease. A fixed effects model is used on
Bcl-6 i T celler – ökar men initierar ej uttryck av CXCR5 En av de viktigaste funktionerna av kroppens immunförsvar är dess förmåga att producera antikroppar som skyddar mot infektioner. När immunförsvaret utsätts för en ny bakterie eller ett nytt virus kommer B celler att producera stora mängder antikroppar för att förhindra en storskalig infektion. Dessa antikroppar är dock inte särskilt effekAbstract: T follicular helper (Tfh) cells are a subset of CD4 T cells specialized to help B cells during the germinal center reaction. By expressing high levels of the chemokine receptor CXCR5, Tfh cells home into the B cell follicle where they provide B cells with cytokines IL-4 and IL-21 as well as receptor-ligands interactions essential for B cell differentiation into mature antibody secreting
I takt med att förflyttningarna över gränserna ökar blir fall av olovligt bortförande och kvarhållande av barn allt vanligare. Med olovligt bortförande av barn menas att en förälder tar barnet till ett annat land så att den andre föräldern inte längre kan ta del av vårdnaden om barnet. Med olovligt kvarhållande menas främst att en förälder olovligt håller kvar barnet i ett land efter utgången av e
Det har länge varit en självklarhet att sexualbrott är egenhändiga brott, något som under de senaste åren börjat luckras upp. Förändring har öppnat upp för möjligheten för svenska domstolar att döma gärningsmän för sexualbrott på distans; alltså när de begått sexuella övergrepp på internet. Det görs med hänvisning till formuleringen i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, om det med hänsyn till kränkningeFor a long time, it has been a certainty that sexual assaults are self-inflicted crimes. This matter, however, has begun to change. This has presented the possibility for Swedish courts to convict perpetrators of sexual offenses from a distance; that is, when the offense has occurred on the internet. The wording of the sixth chapter of the Penal Code makes this possible, if the act can be compared
The aim of this study was to evaluate athletics and employees in organizations based on projectstrategies attitude to a shared leadership. Our ambition was to see similarities and differences between the two groups. We used a qualitative approach based on semistructured interviews. The interview guide was designed after Multidimensional Model of Sport Leadership, which describes the complexity of
Within Peace Research, there is a long tradition of studying the creations and conditions of peace. Within this, Hybrid Peace Theory has constituted a more critical strand, emphasising the importance of the interactions between international and local actors. This thesis has aimed to contribute to critical peace research by arguing for the importance of including a gender perspective on the Hybrid
This thesis examines the effects of a low real interest rate environment on household savings. It specifically analyses whether there can be an increased importance of the income effect relative to the intertemporal consumption substitution effect and whether there can be an increased potency in the wealth effect of the stock market due to the financial assets substitution effect in this environme
Idag ökar medellivslängden tack vare olika tekniska och medicinska framsteg. Globaliseringen fortsätter och det gränsöverskridande utbytet av varor, tjänster, arbetstagare och kapital ökar. I takt med att människan lever längre blir frågan om pensionssparande allt viktigare. I en internationell kontext är det angeläget för den enskilde att förstå hur beskattning av pensionsförsäkringar fungerar. Today, life expectancy increases thanks to various technological and medical advances. Globalization continues, and the cross-border exchange of goods, services, workers and capital is increasing. As we live longer, the question of pension savings becomes increasingly important. For anyone engaged in a cross-border situation, it is important to understand how taxation of pension insurance works.
During the last twenty years there's been a growing amount of exhibitions that in different ways challenge peoples feelings and ideas. It can be exhibitions that show other interpretations of a phenomenon than the once we're used to see or subjects that can be found sensitive or provoking to some people. I've found an explanation to why museums show this type of exhibitions in the ne
