Hemoglobin (Hb) plays a critical role in human physiological function by transporting O-2. Hb is safe and inert within the confinement of the red blood cell but becomes reactive and toxic upon hemolysis. Haptoglobin (Hp) is an acute-phase serum protein that scavenges Hb and the resulting Hb-Hp complex is subjected to CD163-mediated endocytosis by macrophages. The interaction between Hb and Hp is e

The Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) is a standardised database structure for longitudinal historical databases. Such a common structure facilitates data sharing and comparative research. In this study, we propose an extended version of IDS, named IDS-Geo, that also includes geographic data. The geographic data that will be stored in IDS-Geo are primarily buildings and/or property units, and the

Objectives To describe the clinical and ultrasound features of fibroma and fibrothecoma of the ovary. Methods Sixty-eight women with a histological diagnosis of fibroma or fibrothecoma of the ovary who had undergone a preoperative ultrasound examination between 1999 and 2007 were identified from the databases of four ultrasound centers. The tumors were characterized on the basis of ultrasound imag

Although calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are effective at preventing a cute rejection, their long-term use is associated with nephrotoxicity that may compromise long-term renal allograft Survival. Consequently, there is considerable interest in identifying immunosuppressive regimens that permit reduced exposure to CNIs while maintaining adequate immunosuppression. Introducing such strategies early a

Bees are mostly active during the daytime, but nocturnality has been reported in some bee families. We studied temporal flight activity in three species of carpenter bees (genus Xylocopa) in relation to light intensities. X. leucothorax is diurnal, X. tenuiscapa is largely diurnal being only occasionally crepuscular, while X. tranquebarica is truly nocturnal. Occasional forays into dim light by X.

Broadband circuit models for electric machines are effective means to understand, predict, and control the phenomenon of conducted Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) from immunity/susceptibility perspective. These models should cover the capacitive and inductive coupling behavior of the component along the frequency band of interest. The circuit models when used under generic SPICE simulation soft

Europa går över till en cirkulär ekonomi och har höga återvinningsmål. År 2030 ska alla förpackningar på marknaden vara återvinningsbara. Detta är en utmaning, särskilt för plastförpackningar för livsmedel, som vanligtvis består av olika plastmaterial. Kravet från återvinningsindustrin i Europa är att använda monomaterialförpackningar eftersom det är lättare att återvinna. Detta kan bli problematiEurope is transitioning to a circular economy and have high recycling goals. By 2030 all packaging on the market should be recyclable. This is a challenge, especially for plastic packaging for food, which usually constitutes of different plastic materials. The demand from the recycling industry in Europe is to use mono material packaging as it is easier to recycle. This can become problematic for

This study aims at applying the livelihood strategy approach in understanding how women in a suburban area deal with the choices in economic activities in order to create their livelihood strategy. Using qualitative interviews of women in Nhu Quynh town (Van Lam district, Hung Yen province), a suburban area of Hanoi City, and the study explores livelihood strategies of women before and after 1997,

More and more poor people regularly receive money transfers, remittances, from family members abroad as international migration increases. But since many poor and low-income people in developing countries lack access to financial services their opportunities to achieve investment goals, and thereby improve their living conditions, are limited. This study explores the possibility of channelling rem

The purpose of this essay is to how internal armed conflict in Nepal affected children. Besides that how Nepal has implemented the UN Convention on the Rights of Child during the conflict. It has been estimated that over 2 million children have been killed in armed conflict, another 6 million have been rendered permanently disabled and more than 250, 000 children continue to be exploited as child

The area of intellectual property is an old form of protection that has constantly been forced to adapt itself to new technologies. The digital age has made this fact even more clear and has really put the thought of IP as a commodity to the test. There are those who claim that the concept of intellectual property is obsolete and needs to be replaced. The purpose of this thesis is to see whether o

Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared

In today’s fast-paced society, working parents face increasing challenges in providing young children with engaging, developmentally beneficial activities while balancing their responsibilities and limited time. As a result, many parents rely on screens beyond recommended guidelines as a convenient way to occupy their children. However, research shows that excessive screen use is not ideal for chi

Detta examensarbete undersöker och jämför lönsamheten för två olika metoder för underhållsarbeten på järnväg i form av spårbyten utifrån ekonomiska och tidsmässiga aspekter. Dessa metoder är den traditionella traktormetoden och det avancerade spårbyteståget. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka användningen av spårbyteståg och traditionella metoder vid underhållsarbeten på bana i Sverige samt när dThis thesis examines and compares the profitability of two different methods for railway maintenance work in the form of track renewal based on economic and time aspects. These methods are the tractor method and the advanced track renewal trains. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the use of track renewal trains and tractor methods for track maintenance work in Sweden and when the former

This thesis explores the intersection of vernacular knowledge, modern technology and community engaging design to address the challenges posed by flooding and rising water levels in vulnerable areas. Initiated as a conceptual project for a flood resilient neighbourhood, the project evolved into a direct response to the specific needs of the DRCNAI community in Coloong, Valenzuela, Philippines.

Svensk rätt erbjuder ett starkt skydd för både barn och arbetstagare. När en förvärvsarbetande förälder placeras på ett HVB-hem tillsammans med sitt barn uppstår dock en rättslig spänning. För dessa situationer finns ingen särskild reglering som tydliggör förälderns rätt till ledighet eller ekonomisk ersättning, trots att frånvaron bygger på ett myndighetsbeslut med barnets bästa som utgångspunkt.Swedish law provides robust protection for both children and employees. However, legal uncertainty arises when a parent is placed in a residential care home (HVB) together with their child. In such cases, there is currently no specific regulation clarifying the parent’s right to take leave from work or receive financial compensation, even though the absence is based on an official decision grounde

Vad vet vi om exoplaneter? Studien av planeter har fascinerat mänskligheten sedan för de gamla grekerna, där deras rörelse över himlen representerade allt från gudar till ändringen av säsonger. Vår förståelse för de andra världar i vårt sol system, från gas jätten Jupiter, till de steniga ytan av Mars, har bara förbättrats med tiden. Detta är mest noterbart i det senaste århundrade, med flertal sSince the first discovery of exoplanets, they have been one of the main interests in contemporary astrophysics, with over 5000 confirmed today. One of the current goals is linking the chemical composition of their atmospheres to their formation by modelling the expected abundances for different formation conditions and comparing them to observations. These models require that the parameters of the

IKEA of Sweden aims to use only renewable materials by 2030. As part of this goal, this report focuses on reducing the use of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) in the speaker model VAPPEBY 20. The objective was to reduce the enclosure material by 5% using topology optimization. A literature review indicated that the most effective method would be to base the optimization on modal analysis, aim
