Analysis of peripheral blood smears is commonly used to aid physicians in diagnosing diseases, checking for infections and evaluating the function of organs. One object of interest in such analysis is the presence of red blood cell aggregates called rouleaux. CellaVision's product currently automates the traditionally resource-intensive process of blood smear analysis, which leads to improved
Partial migration is a widespread phenomenon over various animal taxa where one part of the population migrates whereas the other part stays resident. Reasons triggering individuals to migrate while others stay are of high importance to understand ecological and evolutionary processes. Physiological parameters such as immune function have previously been shown to affect wintering decision in birds
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsarbetet är att belysa eventuell variation i Norden i val av och hänsyn till teori utifrån erfarenhet av att arbeta med barn med språkstörning (DLD). Metod: Materialet utgörs av enkätsvaren från nordiska deltagare i COST Action IS1406 (2019), ett projekt som syftade till att undersöka hur logopeder och andra professioner i Europa arbetar med intervention för barn med DLD. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to highlight possible variation in the Nordic countries in the choice of and regard for theory, based on experience of working with children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Method: The material consists of the survey responses from Nordic participants in COST Action IS1406 (2019), a project that aimed to investigate how professionals in Europe wo
Housing crises have become a global phenomenon, including in South Africa. Neither the South African government nor the market have been able to sufficiently address the growing housing deficit across the nation, especially not in the affordable rental sector. Social entrepreneurship within the South African small-scale rental sector – higher-quality brick and mortar backyard rental units that are
Abstract in UndeterminedTranslational stem cell research raises many interesting ethical questions, which have, to a greater or lesser degree, been debated at an international as well as at an interdisciplinary level. Nevertheless, there is still no international consensus regarding how a number of ethical questions related to this research should be answered. Many of these ethical questions creat
With a current financial crisis and a tough competitive environment, all units and departments within the companies have to keep up with the market and its demands. Every time Sandvik sells a machine to a mining company, the buyer faces the fact that they normally have to educate their operators from scratch. This, implicitly, means a period with high risks of failures and mistakes. Training with
The Swedish archaeological and bioarchaeological research on executions and execution victims in the past is very sparse. This is partly due to the fact that people who were executed by law were by norm buried outside of the communities and cemeteries. The aim with this study is to contribute knowledge to the field. This is done by bioarchaeologically examine a mass grave containing six individual
Semiconductor nanowire arrays have been identified as a promising platform for future light emitting diodes (LEDs), for example, due to the materials science freedom of combining lattice-mismatched materials in them. Furthermore, the emission of light from nanowires can be tailored by designing their geometry. Such tailoring could optimize the emission of light to the top side as well as enhance t
Non-myelinated C-fibre responses during sympathetic trunk stimulation were studied in rabbit common peroneal nerve 2 weeks after the nerve had been subjected to compression at 400 mmHg for 30 min. Our previous studies have demonstrated that during sympathetic trunk stimulation the compound action potential of uninjured somatic C-fibres is characterized by a reduced amplitude and an increased laten
The study aims to determine if genetic polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). HLA-G is important for immunological tolerance, and it is also known to have angiogenic effects. Polymorphisms in the 5'-upstream regulatory region (URR) and 3'-untranslated region (UTR) of HLA-G have been associated with a number of diseases,
Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes occurs worldwide and can appear at any age. The genetic susceptibility is strongly associated with HLA-DQ and DR on chromosome 6, but genetic factors on other chromosomes such as the insulin gene on chromosome 11 and the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen gene on chromosome 2 may modulate disease risk. Numerous studies further support the view that environmental fac
