Speed and accuracy are crucial prerequisites in the application of proteomic methods to clinical medicine. We describe a microfluidic-based nanovial array for rapid proteolytic processing linked to MALDI-TOF MS. This microscale format consumes only minute amounts of sample, and it is compatible with rapid bioanalytical protocols and high-sensitivity readouts. Arrays of vials (300 mu m in diameter

The concentration of soluble HLA class I (sHLA-I) was measured by ELISA in serum samples from 30 well-characterised SLE patients at high and low disease activity states and from 100 healthy controls. HLA-A allotypes in the patients were analysed by a PCR-based typing technique. A higher level of sHLA-I was found in SLE patient sera both at high and low disease activity than in controls (P< 0.001).

Airlines are required to manage safety by implementing a Safety Management System (SMS). These systems are built on experience with quality management and seek to provide a structure for organisations to manage the risks presented by and to their individual operations. Safety is presented by the SMS as a ‘state of being’ arrived after following risk management to a level as low as reasonably pract

I Sverige kom det första undantaget från turordningsreglerna 1994 med syftet att upprätthålla balansen mellan arbetstagarnas trygghet och verksamheternas behov av flexibilitet. Sedan 2001 är undantaget i turordningsreglerna begränsat till två personer och gäller för företag med högst tio anställda. År 2020 är tvåundantaget återigen uppe för diskussion om ändring i och med betänkandet SOU 2020:30, In Sweden the first exception concerning turn rules was accepted in 1994 with the purpose to maintain the balance between employment protection and the companies need for flexibility. Since 2001 the exception concerning turn rules is limited to two employees for organisations with at most ten employees. In the year of 2020 the exception within the turn rules is up for discussion once again hence t

The quality of a flour can vary greatly depending on the wheat variety and on the conditions while growing the wheat. Currently, the quality is mainly assessed by test baking the flour to observe the volume of the final product. The aim of this study was to investigate if three instruments (Alveolab, Mixolab and Rheo F4) analyzing rheological behaviours connected to dough preparation and baking pr

Abstract Authors: Jonas Johansson and Jimmy Dahlqvist Titel: Hospital social worker's opportunities for inter-professional collaboration in a medical setting [translated title].

Hospitals are dominated by personnel who have a medical background and thus have a medical focus in

In last decade, the lighting industry significantly changed with the development of light emitting diodes (LEDs) and their corresponding penetration of the market. The new technology increases energy efficiency and longevity compared to other types of lamps. As a result, LEDs can improve the sustainability performance of cities and towns, contributing to the mitigation of climate change and cuttin

Being stateless, roughly means being without a citizenship of any nation. This is the definition of being stateless in legal terms, called de jure statelessness. There is also statelessness that entails being without the efficient protection of one’s nation, called de facto statelessness. Two groups of stateless migrants that correspond to these definitions are Bidoons from Kuwait and Palestinians

The creative economy (CE) has recently been at the forefront of Indonesia’s development agenda. By harnessing human creativity and cultural resources, there is considerable potential for CE and the creative and cultural industries to contribute to economic growth and generate employment opportunities for the country’s expanding working-age population. However, the virtues of CE have largely been e

This Master's thesis aims to investigate the reference interview using the discourse analytical method discourse psychology. The reference interview has been studied thoroughly, and its importance has been proven repeatedly within the field of Library and Information Science (LIS). However, it has never been studied from a discourse analytical point of view before. The material for our study

The theoretical focus in this master is information retrieval (IR), and especially the part of IR that includes interactivity. This research is by some researchers called IIR. Our principal aim was to examine if search engines on the WWW are taking advantage of research results from IIR research. A way to do this is to look at the application of special features, in this case query expansion (QE)

Sveriges transportpolitiska mål belyser vikten av hållbara resor. En nationell cykelstrategi är framtagen som en del i att uppnå det övergripande målet. Cykelplanering måste ske på ett tidigt stadium och vara med under hela planprocessen och bilen måste komma i andra hand i stadsplaneringen. En bra grund i planeringen är att försöka beskriva funktionen i ett differentierat cykelnät, en uppdelning The Swedish transport policy objectives show the importance of sustainable transportation. A national bicycle strategy is developed to help achieve the general objective regarding transportation. The bicycle must be included in the whole process with the car coming in second hand. Basic recommendations for cities are to arrange their bicycle network in at least two parts, a main cycle network and

The continuous and on-going enclosure of the commons has been identified as critical for the expansion of capitalism, through processes of dispossession, expropriation and commodification. In the light of the rapid erosion of our cultural and environmental common pool resources, the concept of the commons is increasingly gaining interest, since it presents new political and cultural perspectives a
