Homozygous C2 deficiency (C2D) is the most common deficiency of the classical complement pathway in Western countries. It is mostly found in patients with autoimmune disease or susceptibility to bacterial infections and in healthy persons. We wished to assess to what extent other immunological factors might explain differences of susceptibility to infections in C2D. For this reason, 44 Swedish pat

Enzymes that affect glycoproteins of the human immune system, and thereby modulate defense responses, are abundant among bacterial pathogens. Two endoglycosidases from the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, EndoS and EndoS2, have recently been shown to hydrolyze N-linked glycans of human IgG. However, detailed characterization and comparison of the hydrolyzing activities have not been performe

Sustained international diplomatic efforts culminated in the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement by 196 countries in December 2015. This paper provides an overview of the key provisions of the agreement that are most relevant to the tourism sector: much strengthened and world-wide participation in greenhouse gas emission reduction ambitions, an enduring framework for increased ambitions over ti

Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems are being investigated intensively for positioning services. Enhancing the accuracy on these services in terms of accurate positioning of users is an important goal to improve related applications in the future. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) has been proposed to infer the position of a user from Channel State Information (C

We introduce rigorous theory for deriving first and second order backpropagation methods for Deep Neural Networks (DNN) whilst satisfying existing theory in DNN optimization. We begin by formally defining a neural network with its respective components and state the first and second order chain rule with respect to its partial derivatives. The partial derivatives in the chain rule formula are rela

In anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease, IgG class autoantibodies induce rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Regrettably, many patients are diagnosed at a late stage when even intensive conventional treatment fails to restore renal function The endopeptidase IdeS (Immunoglobulin G degrading enzyme of Streptococcus pyogenes) (imliflidase) rapidly cleaves all human IgG subclasses

The reactivity of the benzenedithiolate (bdt)-bridged complex [Fe2(CO)6(µ-bdt)] with arsine, stibine and phosphine ligands has been studied. The new mono- and disubstituted complexes [Fe2(CO)5(EPh3)(µ-bdt)] (E = As, 1; E = Sb 3) and [Fe2(CO)4(EPh3)2(µ-bdt)] (E = As, 2; E = Sb, 4) and the previously reported [Fe2(CO)4(PPh2H)2(µ-bdt)] (5) have been prepared by Me3NO-initiated carbonyl substitution r

With more advanced manufacturing technologies, small and medium sized enterprises can compete with low-wage labor by providing customized and high quality products. For small production series, robotic systems can provide a cost-effective solution. However, for robots to be able to perform on par with human workers in manufacturing industries, they must become flexible and autonomous in their taskWith more advanced manufacturing technologies, small and medium sized enterprises can compete with low-wage labor by providing customized and high quality products.

Purpose – The aim of this study is to test the assumption that ability to handle communication and liability of newness (LoN) is enhanced by academic entrepreneurship education and/or previous start‐up experience. Design/methodology/approach – The data collection includes a questionnaire with a total sample of 392 responding entrepreneurs in Sweden. Statistical analyses are made between entrepren

The EU aims to be a circular economy by 2050, which is the driving force behind this master thesis. Circular transformation is one possible strategy to handle the climate crisis and achieve sustainable development. A circular economy is a system that aims to keep the value of products, materials, and resources in use as long as possible while minimising waste generation (Svenskt Näringsliv, 202

The purpose of this licentiate thesis is to investigate the following hypothesis in a case study: "Occupants of buildings with a quality labeled indoor environment experience a better indoor environment than occupants of buildings with normal planning and construction." The aim of the case study is to compare the outcome of using a quality system for indoor environment with a normal quality system

Objectives Regulations heavily control medical technology (MT), which often includes information technology (IT), but staff experiences related to these regulations are unknown. The study aim was to assess Swedish IT/MT staff experiences regarding regulations for medical devices and medical information systems. Methods An anonymous, ten-item, self-report questionnaire was administered to IT and MT

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) can be cured by allogeneic hemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Complications include graft failure, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infection, and transplant-related mortality; therefore, reduced-intensity conditioning regimens are being used to improve outcomes. In this retrospective study, the aim was to determine the outcome of treosulfan-based co

Obesity has been associated with upper gastrointestinal cancers; however, there are limited prospective data on associations by subtype/subsite. Obesity can impact hormonal factors, which have been hypothesized to play a role in these cancers. We investigated anthropometric and reproductive factors in relation to esophageal and gastric cancer by subtype and subsite for 476,160 participants from th
