Primary infection by group A streptococci (GAS) takes place at either the throat or skin of the human host, often leading to pharyngitis or impetigo, respectively. Many GAS strains differ in their preference for throat and skin tissue sites. Previous epidemiological findings show that many of the strains displaying strong tropism for the skin have a high-affinity binding site for plasminogen, loca
Using literature data on the gas phase reaction between free lanthanide atoms and carbon dioxide, we have found an isokinetic relation for seven of the twelve investigated elements with an isokinetic temperature, T-iso of 2500 +/- 330 K. This value is analyzed in the framework of the model of selective energy transfer, SET, indicating that metal-CO2 complexes are formed as pre-reaction states. The
A thermostable glycoside hydrolase family-10 xylanase originating from Rhodothermus marinus was cloned and expressed in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris (SMD1168H). The DNA sequence from Rmxyn10A encoding the xylanase catalytic module was PCR-amplified and cloned in frame with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-factor secretion signal under the control of the alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoto
A European Union (EU) directive on vitamins and minerals used as ingredients of food supplements with a nutritional or physiological effect (2002/46/EC) was introduced in 2003. Its implications for the use of oral supplements of calcium and vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis were discussed at a meeting organized with the help of the World Health Organization ( WHO) Collabora
The thesis deals with determination of the post peak behaviour of wood in pure tension and pure shear. Furhermore, the "Fictitious Crack Model" (FCM), which is a nonlinear fracture mechanics model ; originally developed for description of crack propagation in concrete, is employed to demonstrate the advantages of non linear fracture mechanics. A testing arrangement is presented with which the comp
New methods for spectrophotometric alkalinity measurement, dissolved hydrogen monitoring and for obtaining a fingerprint of the microbial community were evaluated as tools for process monitoring in anaerobic digestion. The anaerobic digestion process was operated at organic loading rates of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5g volatile solids l-1d-1 and subjected to pulse loads of carbohydrate, lipid, protein and a
Glass sheets investigated regarding their Po-210 signal originating from indoor radon exposure will have a depth distribution down to about 100 nm. The geometrical probability of implantation into glass of glass-attached radon daughter activity in one alpha recoil event is 50%. A particulate layer on the glass sheet (dust, grease or other particles) will stop the alpha recoil nucleus partly or tot
What do we gain from labeling certain norms of social organization law? This question provides the backdrop against which this chapter will examine the works of Leon Petrażycki and Eugen Ehrlich, two of the founders of legal sociology who devised concepts of law broader than state law. In the course of this examination we shall also assess the relevance of Petrażycki’s 'intuitive law' and Ehrlich’
The Sámi people in Scandinavia have experienced a long history of discrimination, oppression, neglect, ridicule, and theft. Some scholars compare the history of the Sámi with that of the American Indian population. Today the Sámi who live in Sweden, Norway and Finland, together with the Sámi in Russia have managed to improve their situation through concerted efforts, collaboration with one another
Att vara ett offer för människohandel (trafficking) genom prostitution eller annan sexuell exploatering innebär att offret utsätts för uppenbara kränkningar av sina mänskliga rättigheter i form av våldtäkt, fysiskt våld, tvångsprostitution och sexuellt slavarbete. Efter att ha undkommit sin fångenskap är offret i stort behov av socialt och medicinskt stöd. Utöver detta kan det finnas ett stort beh
The so-called capitalist crisis of care has been theorized starting since the 80s. It has been and explored by two literature streams: the ‘feminist’ and the ‘mainstream’. New social and economic challenges in relation to welfare state systems trigger the interest of scholars and policy makers who are looking for sustainable responses to care needs. Welfare states have been repeatedly grouped into
Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ
This thesis explores the behavioural effect of carbon labels on conscious food consumption. A constantly increasing awareness of sustainable challenges, transparency for stakeholders and constant development of regulatory guidelines for food labelling communication raise a need for further consumer understanding. By assessing previous observational and quantitative findings on food products'
This thesis aims to test and evaluate the use of image-based 3D modelling techniques on rune stones. To test the method a well-documented rune stone was chosen, Hyby stone 1. The stone has been dated to the Viking Age and contains 37 runes, whereof 29 are still visible, two crosses and a stag. These carvings have been detected by other scholars with the use of non-digital methods. In order to eval
The rise of China and 1978-market reforms contrasts other post-socialist economies process of institutional and economic change. President Deng Xiaoping announced China’s continued commitment to socialism, yet his leadership is by some viewed to be the most radical social and economic transformation in contemporary Chinese history. One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Chinese reform period
Statsansvaret för folkmord har en jus cogens status i internationell sedvanerätt och utgår från den generella hänförbarhetsregeln: huruvida de inom staten aktiva personer eller grupper är verksamma, eller åtminstone kan anses vara verksamma å statens vägnar är avgörande för att staten kan hållas ansvarig. För att icke-statliga aktörer kan vara hänförliga till staten måste förhållandet dem emellan State responsibility for commission of genocide has a jus cogens status in customary international law and is based on the general rule of attribution: whether the persons or groups acting within the State are acting, or at least can be treated as acting on behalf of the State is key for State responsibility to arise. For non-state actors to be attributable to the State the relationship between th
Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. In this thesis the compounding of different river and coastal flood combinations at three case study sites were studied through the use of 1D/2D-hydraulic modelling software LISFLOOD- FP. The areas were; Henån, Äng
