Secreted and transmembrane mucins are important components of innate defence at the body's mucosal surfaces. The secreted mucins are large, polymeric glycoproteins, which are largely responsible for the gel-like properties of mucus secretions. The cell-tethered mucins, however, are monomeric but are typically composed of two subunits, a larger extracellular subunit which is heavily glycosylated wh

There is currently a challenge to produce an electrocardiogram (ECG) recording of waveforms that are "standard" and also achieve the "noise immunity" required for continuous monitoring. The potential solutions that have been considered are to label each torso-recorded ECG as "nonstandard, torso-recorded," designate torso placement as "standard," or to reconstruct the "equivalent distally recorded

The interaction between UV-B irradiation and cutaneous human papillomaviruses (HPV) has been suggested to be of relevance for the development of non-melanoma skin cancers. We investigated the activity within the upstream regulatory region (URR) of the HPV types 8, 38, 92, 93 and 96, as well as their responsiveness to UV-B irradiation and cellular differentiation. Promoter activities were higher in

Objectives: To determine whether alpha-synuclein dinucleotide repeat (REP1) genotypes are associated with survival in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: Investigators from the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease Consortium provided REP1 genotypes and baseline and follow-up clinical data for cases. The primary outcome was time to death. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used t

In connection to an environmental investigation of a former industrial site, the cretaceous sandy limestone bedrock in the surrounding area were mapped with resistivity and time domain induced polarization (DCIP). The aim of the DCIP survey was to delineate geological units and possible preferential pathways of DNAPL contaminated groundwater. Although IP anomalies corresponding to fractured crysta

The dUDP analogue, 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-(α,β-imido)diphosphate (dUPNP) was synthesized. The corresponding triphosphate analogue (dUPNPP) was prepared by enzymic phosphorylation of dUPNP using the enzyme pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate as the phosphate donor. This method was successful in phosphorylating the imidodiphosphate analogue of 2'-deoxythymidine (dTPNP) to 2'-deoxythymidine 5'-(α,β-i

1 In an asexually reproducing plant (Potamogeton pectinatus L.) the competitive advantage of a larger propagule over a smaller one was determined by a single parameter (alpha, the competitive asymmetry coefficient), independent of sowing density or average propagule size. Competitive advantage was determined by the relative size difference between propagules instead of their absolute difference. 2

This paper presents on-going research on the production of knowledge in contemporary professional digital encyclopaedias. By adopting a theoretical perspective that considers the interplay of humans, non-humans and practices at the same level, it develops further a socio-technical perspective on knowledge production. Methodologically, the project involves an ethnographic study staring from two edi

NYTT FRÅN SACO God jul och ett gott nytt år! Dags att knyta ihop säcken med 2023. Sacos-styrelsen önskar alla medlemmar en riktigt skön och ledig helg! Lönerevisionen 2023 är avslutad. De lönesättande samtalen är klara, liksom oenighetsförhandlingarna för cirka 60 personer. De som förklarade sig oeniga ska ha fått information om ny lön och en motivering till den nya lönen. Om så inte är fallet, ko

The diffusion of macromolecules, nanoparticles, viruses, and bacteria is essential for targeting hosts or cellular destinations. While these entities can bind to receptors and ligands on host surfaces, the impact of multiple binding sites—referred to as multivalency—on diffusion along strands or surfaces is poorly understood. Through numerical simulations, we have discovered a significant accelera

Understanding of carbon nanomaterials oxidation is useful in many different applications, e.g., for soot emission abatement, or in defect engineering aiming to improve material properties. In this work, the oxidative behavior of three substantially different qualities of carbon black, multiwall carbon-nanotubes, and few-layer graphene, was studied using a combination of macroscale quantification (

Sammanfattning Projektet handlar om att genom rationella lösningar ge möjlighet att bygga bostäder tidseffektivt och på detta sätt även göra ett inlägg i den svenska bostadsdebatten, vilken är mycket problematisk för tillfället. Hela Sverige lider i princip av bostadsbrist idag. Det hämmar utvecklingen för företag och övriga delar av samhället. För att avhjälpa bostadsbristen är detta ett projekt Abstract This project is based on the housing crisis that Sweden is having right now. The aim of this master thesis in architecture is to be a part of the solution and an entry in the Swedish housing debate. Through making a flexible and rational system the goal is to make construction fast, without compromising with architectural qualities. This is not a complete solution of the housing shortage

Ensamrätten till ett varumärke är en dynamisk rätt, där skyddsomfånget förändras över tid. Skyddsomfånget avgörs utefter graden av särskiljningsförmåga, vilket innebär ett varumärkes förmåga att särskilja varumärkesinnehavarens varor eller tjänster från andra näringsidkares varor eller tjänster. Vid varumärkesregistrering är särskiljningsförmåga ett absolut krav. Är fallet så att ett varumärke helA trademark right is a dynamic right, where the scope of protection alters over time. The scope of protection is determined according to the degree of distinctiveness, which means the trademark’s ability to distinguishing the goods and services of one trader from the goods and services of another. A trademark must be capable of distinguishing to be registered. If a trademark has completely lost it

Den europeiska gemenskapen inom försvars-och säkerhetsfrågor rör sig allt mer ifrån transnationellt samarbete mot federal integration. Parallellt med denna utveckling identifieras på EU-nivå i dagsläget dessutom en rad nya säkerhetspolitiska utmaningar som både unionen och medlemsstaterna till stor del är överens om att hantera gemensamt. Likväl förekommer också att krav ställs på mer nationellt sThe European Community in the fields of defence and security is at large moving further and further from transnational cooperation towards federal integration. In line with this development, a number of new security policy challenges have today been identified at EU level and both the EU and a majority of its member states agree that they need to be addressed jointly. Nevertheless, demands from me

With the 11th century text Kitāb ādāb al-nikāḥ, the “Book on the Proper Conduct of Marriage”, the Islamic thinker al-Ghazālī (1056 –1111/447–504) replies to a contemporaneous debate within Sufi asceticism with a theology of nikāḥ. The text is part of his opus magnum, the “Renaissance of the Knowledge of dīn”, which aims at a renewal of Muslim piety and provides practical guidance to the male audie

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur incitamentsystem påverkar frontpersonalens agerande utefter mål på två kaféer inom samma kedja, samt om det finns andra faktorer som påverkar utöver incitamentsystem. Därtill studerades ifall det existerar någon intressekonflikt mellan frontpersonal och platschef gällande måluppfyllelse och agerande på kaféerna. Detta för att sedan dra paralleller och skillnThe purpose of the study is to investigate whether the company´s incentives are affecting the frontline staff´s to act accordingly to their goals, or if other factors exist in addition to incentives. The study also highlights possible conflicts of interest between frontline staff and site manager regarding goal fulfillment and behaviors at cafes. This to draw parallels and differences between the
