The human gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. They are highly aggressive with a rapid fatal progression for the patient. The invasive growth pattern and inherent resistance to radiation and chemotherapy account for a lack of efficient therapies. Several novel therapeutic regimes are being investigated, but they have so far shown limited beneficial effects. The molecular heterogeneit
The behavior of the surviving population of Lactobacillus plantarum 564 growing in MRS broth after pulsed electric field (PEF) treatments of different intensities was monitored by isothermal calorimetry, optical density and plate counts. Bacterial cells were treated with monopolar square pulses at varying nominal electric field strengths and number of pulses, corresponding to applied energies of 3
Superantigens (SAgs) are toxins capable of inducing a massive immune response, leading to severe disease. They are secreted by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which produce the staphylococcal enterotoxins and streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins, respectively. Our immune system has evolved to protect us against foreign threats, such as bacteria and viruses. By engulfing
Detta examensarbete ingår som en del i en större undersökning om avrinningsområden, där Naturvårdsverket är huvudman. I Sverige har ett antal avrinningsområden valts ut som typområden. Inom varje typområde finns ett miljöövervakningssystem inom vilket den förmodade mängden bekämpningsmedel som läcker ut till ytvatten och grundvatten ska beräknas. För att kunna göra detta i Vemmenhögsåns avrinningsThe Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) manages an environmental supervisor program in which they attempt to calculate the amount of pesticide leaching in various catchments in different parts of Sweden. In the present study, this kind of calculation was done for the Vemmenhög catchment in southern Sweden using the MACRO simulation model. The MACRO model is a non-steady stat
The purpose of this thesis is to criticize the Commission's approach to the application of Article 82 to the exclusionary abuses of the dominant firms. It is a very interesting and hot topic as the attitude of the Commission and the European Courts have many implications on the consumer welfare and total efficiency in common market and innovation capacity and the economic development of the Eu
According to international treaty law as well as international customary law, threats of (armed) force are considered as one of the gravest violations of international law. Yet, threats of force frequently occur in international relations, often lacking condemnation by the international community. There are a number of reasons to why threats of force are sometimes passed by unconsidered by the int
Straffprocessuella tvångsmedel har till ändamål att hjälpa förundersökningen och rättegången, eller att säkerställa verkställighet av dom i brottmål. Tvångsmedel får inte användas för andra syften än dessa. När tvångsmedel används ska alltid legalitetsprincipen samt de tre allmänna principerna, ändamåls-, behovs-, och proportionalitetsprinciperna beaktas. En husrannsakan kan vara reell eller persCoercive measures have the purpose to help the investigation and trial, or to secure the enforcement of a criminal judgment. Coercive measures should not be used for purposes other than these. When a coercion measure is used, the principle of legality and the three general principles; purpose, needs, and proportionality, have to be taken into account. A search of the premises is allowed in a hous
In recent years the appearance of private standards and codes of conduct has shaped the functioning of agri-food chains. These private standards, codes of conduct and quality meta- systems are similar concepts that evolved as a response to food scares and the growing expectations of consumers about quality and other attributes. Large retailers and supermarket chains have developed private standard
Since a ship is movable and on the same time a very high-priced asset, a ship owner in debt may be very tempted to move it outside a creditor´s reach. Fortunate for the creditor it exist a legal mechanism that hinders this, it is referred to as “arrest of ship”. The purpose of this paper is to outline the current legal position in Sweden regarding arrest of ships and to discuss the specific proble
Chain of Custody on timber refers to the chronological documentation throughout the value chain, from forest to consumer. For a construction company, who engages within Social Responsible Purchasing, it is important to know where purchased material origins from. Timber is especially important in this matter, since the problem with illegal logging is widespread and causes environmental damage, conf
BackgroundThe incidence of human papilloma virus (HPV)-related oral cancer has recently increased worldwide. The role of dentists is of prime importance in the early detection of oral cancer which would result in a favourable outcome for the patients. The aim of the current study was to assess the knowledge, awareness and attitudes of dental students, interns and postgraduate maxillofacial residen
In this concluding chapter, our aim is to outline the state-of-the-art within the deliberated topic in order to identify challenges for future research. Firstly, reminiscent of George Orwell’s aphorism “who controls the past controls the future”, we stress the importance of research into the origins of degraded and restituted towns in order to understand the socio-economic context that has shaped
This thesis attempts to describe and interpret the design practice of an American architect, Frank O. Gehry through concepts developed by French philosopher Gilles Deleuze and his collaborator, French psychotherapist, philosopher and activist, Félix Guattari. At the same time, prototyping a website-based interactive project called PLATEAU GEHRY_CONNECTIVES, it explores an alternative form for the
