Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a phospholipid inflammatory mediator which is synthesized by a variety of cells, including monocytes, endothelial cells, mast cells and neutrophils. PAF acts via a recently cloned PAF receptor, present on monocytes and endothelial cells, but not on non-activated lymphocytes. IL-4 is mainly produced by T lymphocytes, and belongs to the Th2 subset of T helper cell
Protein D, a surface-exposed 42-kDa membrane lipoprotein, is well conserved among both type b and nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae strains, and it is considered a vaccine against H. influenzae infections. Here, we report the large-scale purification of a nonacylated form of protein D (PDm) from the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli overexpressing PDm. Screening of human sera for levels of an
Curli are thin, coiled fibers expressed on the surface of Escherichia coli that bind several matrix and plasma proteins such as fibronectin, laminin, plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator, and H-kininogen. In this work, we examined the interactions between curli-expressing E. coli and human major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) and class II (MHC-II) molecules. Curliated E. coli was
This paper explores the meaning and potential impact of a number of street artworks that in different ways address and problematise how human beings relate to the biotic community – that is to say a community founded on biocentrism that includes as its members “soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land” (Leopold, 1949/1968, p. 203.).The paper argues that while, for example, inf
The purpose of this research is to explore the impact users have on value co-creation in the sharing economy. More specifically, we aim to examine the values users can co-create for each other through exchanges and interactions within the sharing economy. Because the sharing economy is a recent phenomenon, an explorative research design has been chosen with a qualitative study. 25 semi-structured
My aim of the project was to create a table with the same purpose as the Memphis Group had in the 1980s, furniture that does not have the function as the main topic, the experimental playfulness with shapes, materials, and colors are the primary. My method has focused on the Memphis Group's philosophy, to be inspired by the coloring, design of volumes and materials, and also the aim of provoc
Myth, from the Greek mythos: “Mar-velous narration situated outside historic time told by divine or heroic characters. Often interprets the world’s origin or great human events”. The dragon, ex-cept for in China, has always been a symbol of “evil”, but, at the same time, the fire and power represented by the dragon are essential elements for hu-mankind. The modern city, symbolically under-stoo
As part of a program designed to elucidate the excited state properties of key eumelanin building blocks, we report herein a study of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) in phosphate buffer at pH 3 and pH 7 using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. The transient absorption changes following excitation at 266 nm were used to directly monitor relaxation of the excited states. It was found that the
Adsorption of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) on well-characterized hematite, maghemite and goethite nanopartides was studied by in situ DRIFT spectroscopy as a model system for adsorption of organophosphorous (OP) compounds on iron minerals. The iron minerals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)
Now and then you can read about the threats and violence that occur at different workplaces, it’s common for social workers to be exposed to threats and violence. Studies have shown that people working within social services are more exposed to threats and violence compared to people with other occupations. The aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of how social workers in financial
This chapter introduces the theme of gendered knowledge production and proposes new understandings of epistemic agency, epistemic power and epistemic violence. These theoretical concepts are employed to critically approach the Women, Peace and Security agenda as a system of knowledge that comes with both possibilities and constraints. The chapter conceptualizes epistemic agency as embodied and nar
INTRODUCTIONThis study examines medication reviews (MRs) among people living with dementia (PWD) in Sweden, focusing on frequency and factors influencing access.METHODSUsing nationwide register data, all diagnosed PWD from 2010 to 2016 were assessed for MR receipt in 2015 and/or 2016. The analysis guided by the Andersen healthcare utilization framework, considered predisposing, enabling, and need-
Stroke and anemia are both prevalent conditions with significant health burdens, yet their bidirectional relationship remains poorly understood. Anemia affects up to 29 % of stroke patients and is associated with increased worse outcomes. However, the causal nature of this association, particularly concerning different anemia subtypes, remains controversial, and there is a lack of clear targets an

Hippocampal atrophy on magnetic resonance imaging is an important biomarker in Alzheimer's disease (AD). While hippocampal atrophy was thought to result from tau tangles in AD, different neuropathologies can lead to hippocampal atrophy, especially TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) pathology. In this narrative review, we evaluate existing studies on the relative contribution of tau and TDP-43 pat
