The mutational mechanism underlying the striking diversity in MHC (major histocompatibility complex) genes in vertebrates is still controversial. In order to evaluate the role of inter- and intragenic recombination in MHC gene diversification, we examined patterns of nucleotide polymorphism across an exon/intron boundary in a sample of 31 MHC class IIB sequences of three-spined stickleback (Gaster
Today, as a rule, the most cost-effective way to remove nitrogen from municipal wastewater is the biological method based on nitrification and subsequent denitrification. All biological systems may be affected by toxicants, and biological nitrogen removal is no exception. An investigation of influent wastewaters from 109 Swedish municipal wastewater treatment plants was accomplished. Inhibitory s

Alfa Laval DC Lund is both a spare part manufacturer and distributer. The spare parts that Alfa Laval DC Lund supplies are used for the heat transfer business unit of Alfa Laval. Sometimes orders need to be produced fast as customers may have breakdowns in production and sometime orders arrive months earlier than customers want to receive delivery as scheduled services occur at the customer. Probl
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka framträdandet av den externa dimensionen av principen om folkets rätt till självbestämmande i internationell rätt, dvs rätten för ett folk att utträda ur en existerande stat och kräva självständighet. Genom att använda den diskursanalytiska metod som utvecklades av Michel Foucault i hans arbete Vetandets Arkeologi, utgör den ett försök att skissera de möjliThe purpose of this study is to examine the emergence of the external dimension of the principle of the people's right to self-determination in international law, that is the right of a people to secede from an existing state and claim independence. Using the archeological method of discourse analysis as developed by Michel Foucault in his work The Archeology of Knowledge, it is an attempt at
Background: Achlorhydria caused by e.g. atrophic gastritis allows for bacterial overgrowth, which induces chronic inflammation and damage to the mucosal cells of infected individuals driving gastric malignancies and cancer. Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) can colonize achlohydric stomachs and we therefore wanted to study the impact of E. faecalis infection on inflammatory response, reactive ox
The model for permanent deformation in asphalt concrete (AC) layers used in the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was evaluated. Two instrumented flexible pavements were subjected to heavy vehicle simulator testing at three constant temperatures. Permanent deformation modelling was carried out using the MEPDG software v1.003 at the highest accuracy level. The nationally calibrate
This is a Master's thesis, and it is a report on a study on different secondary packaging for the Tetra Brik Aseptic 1500 ml Slim package (TBA 1500 S). At the beginning of this study no installed filling line for the TBA 1500 S package existed. The first line was installed in October. Therefore a similar package was studied, the TBA 1000 S package. Data were collected on this package and then
Disputes about what in Swedish property law is called ''abstrakta faktiska fel'', which means errors or faults that concern the physical quality of the real estate (or property), are common in Högsta Domstolen, the Swedish Supreme Court. The main reason for the many trials is that the paragraph that concerns this type of errors is somewhat unclear regarding which of the parties is
PurposeIn the rapidly growing e-grocery segment, unattended delivery is an emerging practice with the potential to offer a superior delivery experience. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the body of knowledge for unattended grocery delivery services by empirically identifying and describing the forms and determinants of customer expectations.Design/methodology/approachA multiple case s
The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long-term studies of individually marked animals are not an exception. These studies are especially important as instrumental for understanding evolutionary and ecological processes in the wild. Furthermore, their number and global distributio
Seagrass meadows are a vital part of the marine ecosystem surrounding the island of Mallorca, but human-induced pressures are degrading the seagrass meadows’ stock of natural capital. Although researchers are working together with policymakers to implement and improve conservation measures, the current legal framework is not sufficient to protect the meadows from further depletion. Therefore, I us
Key words: Innovation, start-ups, exploration, exploitation, formal networks Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effects of formal network participation on exploration and exploitation activities in start-ups. Methodology: Following a cross-sectional design, an explorative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews. 18 interviews were performed with representatives fr
The formation of globular clusters remains an open debate. Dwarf starburst galaxies are efficient at forming young massiveclusters with similar masses as globular clusters and may hold the key to understanding their formation.Aims.We study star cluster formation in a tidal debris - including the vicinity of three tidal dwarf galaxies - in a massive gas dominatedcollisional ring around NGC 5291.

Lapptestning med palladium och aluminium (Swedish popular science summary)Lapptestning är standardmetoden för påvisning av kontaktallergi. Metoden har använts i över 100 år och utvecklas fortfarande. På 80-talet började flera kliniker i USA och Europa, inklusive Yrkes-och miljödermatologisk avdelning i Malmö, att lapptesta med palladiumklorid for att kunna påvisa palladiumallergi. Palladium är en AbstractThe aim of this thesis was to investigate the prevalence and significance of contact allergy to palladium from a Swedish perspective. Our initial findings made it necessary to also explore the importance of the metal aluminium used in test chamber systems and the effect of aluminium chloride (Al-Cl) in patch test preparations. A retrospective study (study I), with 18,306 patch test results
ObjectivesProstate volume (PV) in combination with prostate specific antigen (PSA) yields PSA density which is an increasingly important biomarker. Calculating PV from MRI is a time-consuming, radiologist-dependent task. The aim of this study was to assess whether a deep learning algorithm can replace PI-RADS 2.1 based ellipsoid formula (EF) for calculating PV.MethodsEight different measures of PV
MOTIVATION: Gene expression-based multiclass prediction, such as tumor subtyping, is a non-trivial bioinformatic problem. Most classifier methods operate by comparing expression levels relative to other samples. Methods that base predictions on the expression pattern within a sample have been proposed as an alternative. As these methods are invariant to the cohort composition and can be applied to
Introduction: High-inflammation subgroups of patients with psychosis demonstrate cognitive deficits and neuroanatomical alterations. Systemic inflammation assessed using IL-6 and C-reactive protein may alter functional connectivity within and between resting-state networks, but the cognitive and clinical implications of these alterations remain unknown. We aim to determine the relationships of ele
Popular Abstract in Swedish Eld har fascinerat människan i alla tider. Att sitta och värma sig vid en lägereld, sjunga sånger eller bara titta på hur elden rör sig är något de flesta har upplevt. Hur många har egentligen funderat på var värmen kommer ifrån, hur den gula färgen uppstår eller vad eld egentligen består av? Några av frågorna finns det nu svar på, men fortfarande finns det mycket att uThe work presented in this thesis covers how laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and photofragmentation laser-induced fluorescence (PF-LIF) can be used to determine quantitative species concentrations in different combustion environments. To attain species concentrations with LIF it is of vital importance to investigate the influence of collisional quenching on the fluorescence signal strength, which
