IgE is responsible for type 1 mediated allergic reactions, affecting an increased part of the European population. Even though a large part of the population is affected, further being an economical burden for society, little is known about the human IgE repertoire. Variation in antibodies are mainly found in antibody variable domains, and gained understanding of the IgE repertoire can be obtained

This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil

Personal computers (PC) have become an indispensable product in modern life. Along with the growing volume of computers, the environmental burden and impact at the end-of-life phase known as e-waste become significant. Considering the material-intensive nature of the production of computers, and the environmental burdens caused by landfills, incinerations and improper recycling activities, persona

Det centrala för denna uppsats är att ur ett borgenärsinriktat perspektiv utreda två alternativ för rekonstruktion av företag; företagsrekonstruktion genom FrekL och rekonstruktion genom konkurs. FrekL är en tämligen ny lag i den svenska insolvensrätten. Tidigare rekonstruktioner av företag skedde så gott som alltid genom konkurs, även om AckL fanns som alternativ. FrekL var bland annat tänkt likThe main issue in this essay is from a creditors perspective. Analysis will cover two alternatives for the reorganization of companies: First, the Swedish correspondence, “FrekL,” to the American Chapter 11 and, second, reorganization through bankruptcy. FrekL is a fairly new law within the Swedish insolvency law. Earlier reorganization of companies were almost always made through bankruptcy, ev

I denna rapport undersöks och utvärderas brandskyddet och möjligheten till utrymning vid nödsituation i Helsingborgs Arena. Undersökningen har baserats på noteringar från platsbesök, simuleringar av tänkta scenarion och kvalitativa resonemang. Utifrån dessa undersökningar har det framkommit att den största risken för människors liv vid brand i Helsingborgs Arena är vid brand i en av garderoberna In this report the fire-safety of Helsingborg Arena is analysed and evaluated. This has been done considering the safety of the people evacuating the building in case of a fire. The evaluation has been based on notes and experiences taken on a visit to the site, simulations of suggested scenarios and reasoning around possible risks and fire sources. During the progress of the work 13 different s

Ubiquitously used for monitoring pipelines and infrastructures, distributed fibre-optic acoustic sensing is becoming an emerging technology for earthquake monitoring thanks to the possibility to interrogate a large vast of distances with a dense number of sensing points in which an optical fiber cable can be retrofitted. Moreover, it can also be used as a tool by geophysicists for the characteriza

The actions and interactions of putative mediators of inflammation, such as substance P (SP), histamine, bradykinin and prostaglandins (PGE2) were studied in human skin. In addition, the effects of capsaicin were examined as it is known to release (and to deplete) SP and calcitonin gene-related peptide from C-fibres. The flare evoked by bradykinin was abolished by pretreatment with lignocaine (loc

This paper inspects the territorial and state restructuring of the globalising city-region of Tangier. It argues that recent economic growth and transnational connections follow new forms of entrepreneurial development that aggravate social and spatial inequalities. The analysis shows that these forms of urban and regional management are embedded in the neoliberalised, yet monarch-centric Moroccan

To describe outcomes, treatment and prognostic factors that influence survival of adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), who relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), we retrospectively analyzed 465 ALL adult patients from European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) centers who relapsed after a first HCT performed in complete remission (CR1

While treatment for testicular cancer (TC) has become standardized after the 1980s with an associated significant improvement in patient survival, this has been accompanied by an increased risk of second primary cancers (SPCs). Patients were identified from the Swedish Cancer Registry spanning the years from 1980 to 2015, including 8788 individuals with primary TC and their SPCs. Relative risks (R

Aim: To investigate the interobserver agreement on phenotypic early-onset ataxia (EOA) assessment and to explore whether the Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) could provide a supportive marker. Method: Seven movement disorder specialists provided independent phenotypic assessments of potentially ataxic motor behaviour in 40 patients (mean age 15y [range 5-34]; data derived from Univ

The present dissertation explores students’ perception of their own readiness for higher education and students’ study related relations and the effect on academic outcome. The complexity of student engagement and academic success means that it is relevant to conduct in-depth studies of particular student populations, to explore how certain factors play out in that specific context. First, student

Remote sensing observations of variables related to vegetation at microwave and optical/infrared wavelengths are presented over three regions in Europe in the Iberian peninsula, northern Finland and central Europe. They include the instrumented sites of Las Majadas, Sodankyla and Reusel. The final goal is to better constrain land carbon cycle models using the complementarities of vegetation optica

Abstract in Thaiชาวจีนจำนวนมากเดินทางเข้ามายังเดลี-เมดานในช่วงศตวรรษที่ 19 ในฐานะแรงงานสัญญาจ้างเพื่อพัฒนาเขตเกษตรกรรมของดัตช์บนเกาะสุมาตราโดยเฉพาะบริเวณตะวันออกของสุมาตราเหนือครอบคลุมพื้นที่ของเดลี เซอดัง (Deli-Serdang) และเมืองเมดาน (Medan) ในปัจจุบัน พื้นที่ดังกล่าวถูกพัฒนาขึ้นให้กลายเป็นพื้นที่เกษตรกรรมสมัยใหม่ มีการเพาะปลูกพืชหลายชนิด โดยพืชเศรษฐกิจที่สำคัญที่สุดในพื้นที่ขณะนั้น คือ ใบยาสูบ ซIn the 19th Century, Deli-Medan received a large number of Chinese migrants. Most of them worked as labourers in Dutch agricultural plantations on the east coast of Sumatra, extending from Deli-Serdang to Medan. The agricultural products, such as tobacco, were intentionally developed and eventually became the most exportedproducts of Sumatra. As these economic a

COVID-19 is a major public health threat associated with the increased global burden of infectious diseases, mortality, and enormous economic loss to countries and communities. Safe and efficacious COVID-19 vaccines are crucial in halting the pandemic. We assessed the COVID-19 vaccine uptake and associated factors among community members from eight regions in Tanzania. The interviewer-administered

PURPOSE: To investigate acute and long-term changes in hormonal and inflammatory biomarkers in nonambulant children with cerebral palsy in response to dynamic standing exercise.METHODS: Fourteen children with severe cerebral palsy were recruited. Anthropometrics and body composition measures were obtained. Physical activity levels before the study were assessed using hip-worn accelerometry. All ch

The β-cell function in the perfused pancreas, the total pancreatic insulin content, and the weights of pancreas, kidney, spleen, and total body fat were compared at the age of 30 and 45 days in diabetes-prone and body weight-matched diabetes-resistant male BB rats. These inbred rats had an incidence rate of diabetes at 90 days of age of 80 and 0%, respectively. At day 30, the pancreatic insulin co
