Sepsis is a severe and often lethal inflammatory response to an infection. During sepsis the cells and organs no longer function as they should because of the intense immune response. Some of the cell dysfunction may be because of an important “sugar layer” known as the glycocalyx. In this study, we determined whether an inflammatory protein, heparin binding protein (HBP), might contribute to the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med undersökningen är att beskriva de livsförändringsprocesser som blir nödvändiga då en person drabbas av kronisk sjukdom eller ett funktionshinder. Vad innebär det att drabbas av en kronisk sjukdom eller ett funktionshinder? Hur lär man sig leva med de nya livsvillkoren? Dessa frågor belyses utifrån intervjuer med kvinnor som drabbats av kronisk smärta (fibromThe aim of this thesis is to study the life-changing processes necessary when a person is faced with the demands caused by chronic illness or disability. As subjects for the study, women with chronic pain (fibromyalgi and myofascial pain syndrome), were chosen. Eighteen women active in working life were interviewed on two occasions, with an interval of two months. The women have been living with t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteiners interaktioner med andra proteiner, med polymerer och med ytor har stor praktisk betydelse inom bland annat proteinrening, läkemedelsformulering och livsmedelsteknologi. Målet med detta arbete är att öka förståelsen för växelverkan mellan proteiner, mellan proteiner och polymerer samt mellan proteiner och ytor, särskilt beträffande de elektrostatiska krafternaInteractions of proteins with other proteins, with polymers and with surfaces are of great practical importance within for instance protein purification, drug delivery, and food technology. The aim of this work is to increase the understanding of protein-protein, protein-polyelectrolyte, and protein-surface interactions, particularly concerning the role of electrostatic interactions in these syste
Popular Abstract in Swedish Behandling med radionuklidterapi baseras på radioaktiva läkemedel, d.v.s. läkemedel som i sig består av ett radioaktivt ämne, eller som kopplats till en radionuklid. Den strålningsenergi som avges vid de radioaktiva sönderfallen absorberas i vävnad och ger en lokalt absorberad stråldos där läkemedlet tas upp. Viktigt är härvid att upptaget är högre i patologisk vävnad äIndividual-based determinations of the absorbed dose in radionuclide therapy largely rely on absolute measurement of the activity distribution and its redistribution over time. Scintillation-camera imaging is the most commonly employed measuring technique, applied in planar or SPECT mode, sometimes in combination with structural images from CT. In this thesis, methods for processing and analysis o
Proteiner är en av människokroppens byggstenar och har en mängd viktiga ochnödvändiga biologiska funktioner genom att delta i kemiska reaktioner och processer.De flesta proteiner har en bindningsficka som styr proteinets biologiska funktiongenom bindning av andra molekyler. Denna biologiska funktion kan i vissa fallkopplas till ett sjukdomstillstånd. Organiska molekyler som binder starkt tillbindnExperimental drug discovery is very time-consuming, risky and comes at a huge cost, typically several billion USD per drug. Even though decades of experimental drug discovery have provided cures of many diseases, there are still diseases for which there is no effective drug available. If drug development could be performedby theoretical and computational methods it would be of great advantage to h
In this thesis, the electronic structure and optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures are studied theoretically. Three types of nanostructures have been studied, silicon nanocrystals, free-standing III-V nanowires and free-standing GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire superlattices. The calculations have been carried out using an atomistic, empirical tight-binding approach. Silicon nanocrystals have at
Medical geography usually attempts to disentangle and explain the ecological and causal contexts of health, disease and environment by mapping spatial patterns of cases and potential pathogenic factors. However, many diseases are believed to show after long periods of latency , spanning years and even decades between initial exposure and clinical onset. In view of high spatial human mobility - in

Insects have evolved diverse and remarkable strategies for navigating in various ecologies all over the world. In particular, central place foragers, such as bees and ants, have become renowned for their fascinating navigational capabilities. At the heart of insect navigation lies a brain area known as the central complex (CX). Functionally, the CX integrates world-centric sensory information with
President Bush förklarade krig mot terrorn efter att USA blivit utsatta för de värsta terroristattackerna hittills i historien. I den inledande konflikten var al-Qaida och talibanregimen i Afghanistan motståndarna. Flertalet misstänkta terrorister tillfångatogs och transporterades till fånglägret Guantanamo där de hölls utan de rättigheter som de borde ha fått åtnjuta under Genèvekonventionerna soAfter suffering from the worst terror attacks in history, President Bush declares war on terror. In the initial conflict, the al-Qaeda and the Taliban regime constitute the opposition. A number of suspected terrorists are captured and transported to Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp, where they were held captives without the rights that should have been provided by the Geneva Convention as Prisoners o
Nationell betygsstatistik visar att elever vars föräldrar inte har en eftergymnasial utbildning tenderar att lämna grundskolan med lägre betyg än elever med akademiskt meriterade föräldrar. Prestationsskillnaderna är stora i alla skolans kärnämnen, men framför allt i svenskämnet (se SIRIS 2020). Därför är syftet med föreliggande studie att undersöka hur svenskämnets läs- och skriv undervisning kanTranslated title: Social background and study performance in the Swedish language subject – a qualitative study of reading and writing instruction for students from non-academic homes English abstract: National grade statistics show that students whose parents do not have a post-secondary education tend to leave compulsory school with lower grades than students with academically qualified parents
WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. The objective of this work was both to examine the application of the model, but also to produce a process by which the model might be applied – highlighting challenge
Arbetet syftar på att utreda marksamfälligheters förutsättningar att tilldelas andelstal i en gemensamhetsanläggning, samt vilka konsekvenser en sådan anslutning medför. Målet med arbetet är dels att besvara ifall ett sådant förfarande är förenligt med anläggningslagens bestämmelser men även att studera förekomsten av anläggningsförrättningar där marksamfälligheter tilldelas andelstal i praktiken.The aim of the study is to examine the conditions for joint property units to be assigned participatory shares in a joint facility, as well as the consequences of such a procedure. The goal of the study is partly to answer if such a procedure is compatible with the rules of the law, but also to examine the occurrence of joint property units as members in joint facilities in practice. The study i
Debates of whether Z=114 and N=184 are the next magic numbers in nuclear physics have existed since the earliest predictions made in the 1960s. Until these days they have not been firmly established. To get a better understanding of the magic numbers, it is of key importance to study the nuclei in the vicinity of established and anticipated shell closures. Above shell closures, fast alpha-decaying

Om inte statusen på Sveriges byggnadsbestånd förbättras kommer miljömålet ”God bebyggd miljö” inte kunna uppfyllas. Då miljömålet beaktar många aspekter måste ett holistiskt synsätt gälla vid genomförandet av åtgärder i byggnadsbeståndet. För att kunna göra detta måste en dialog föras kring viktiga aspekter på byggnadens samtliga områden mellan inblandade parter. Om en parameter ändras riskerar deCurrently, Sweden faces a major environmental challenge. If the status of its building stock doesn’t improve, the environmental goal “En god bebyggd miljö” will not be reached. Since this goal considers a wide range of aspects it’s essential that the same holistic approach is considered when implementing measures on the building stock. For this to be possible, an extensive dialogue needs to be hel
