Samtidigt går det allt sämre för de vilda bina världen över och många frågar sig om inte raps kan tänkas hjälpa de vilda bina på traven att förhindra att bina blir ännu färre. För utan bin förlorar vi en

This thesis takes the Lebanese anti-establishment movement as a critical case study of the impact of NGOisation. The debilitating political, economic, and social crises experienced in Lebanon is argued to create an imperative for NGOs to take new forms of action to address and solve the crises. Therefore, this thesis studies the role that foreign-funded rights-based NGOs play in the anti-establish

The study aims to explore how gender roles and relat

The group B streptococcus (GBS) is the most important cause of life-threatening bacterial infections in newborn infants. Protective immunity to GBS infection is elicited by several surface proteins, one of which, the beta protein, is known to bind human IgA-Fc. Here, we show that the beta protein also binds human factor H (FH), a negative regulator of complement activation. Absorption experiments
